Instead of the Orioles just getting better players...

No, I've never been to Fenway.

I think my wife would be happiest if I keep to buying the cheap baseball tickets, and spend the money saved on dinner.
then you clearly dont know what you are talking about.

thanks for wasting my time!


perhaps someone with some kind of experience can weigh in on this topic.

:roll:
In the new issue of Sporting News. Orioles: Worst MLB Franchise
didnt the yankees spend 12 years out of the postseason , chalking up a few losing records back in the 80s and early 90s?

and this was before payrolls for some teams were 5 or 10 times the payrolls of others.

the Orioles are looking for an identity, and i think if they were in ANY other division, they at the very least end up in a race to the end, ie the Indians, or Texas. those teams are really no better than Baltimore, but since they arent with NY and Boston, they win 10 more games and at least make a run in September.
While I don't want to give them a pass for 9 losing seasons, I think your statement is pretty accurate.
