    Anyone see the Orioles Deadspin article today? "Why the Orioles matter"

    Sorry if this has already been posted, but I did not see it.

    I would have listed the full title in the subject, but it is definitely NSFW, thanks to Robert Andino. Deadspin puts out some ridiculous stuff, but they do some great feature articles. And this is certainly one of them, IMO.

    I made a tinyurl because even the link was NSFW.

    It really is. It was not what I was expecting at all.

    I read WAY too much about the Orioles. This was the best article I've read this offseason. Thanks for sharing.

    Short of a psychotic meltdown during which Andino dons a Tinkerbell outfit and attempts to knight tourists at the harbor, he can do little wrong in my book.

    .250ish average with no power? Whatever...he's an Oriole.

    Love the article. Everyone should read it. It should be a sticky thread. No one should be allowed to post without reading the article.

    Brilliant.

    And remember in Boston its said with a whispered desperate whimper. "Robert f...ing Andino is batting!"

    This article was the crown jewel that all other Orioles articles should be compared to. It really is a great read.

    Definitely. Great article... Thx!!!

    I wish the last few paragraphs read that 7-8 oriole players were rising to be perennial all-stars. ;-).

    Link? What are you SG?

    What a great article - so much to like and weep about but I agree that there is (might be perhaps) hope? Most will say no but Silent James might agree.....

    Wouldn't even attempt to prognosticate at that level.
    As you requested.
