I agree atomic. It's good to have a decent endowment.

Jarman86's analogy with private schools is flawed. Good private schools, like Gilman and Johns Hopkins, are non-profits. The for-profit private schools are an educational joke.

I root for another team, the New York Yankees. I root for them to lose in all games, including simulated ones.

If Iglesias fields like Miranda and hits .220, then I'll be satisfied (at least for this season).

The O's won a ton of games with a great fielding SS, Mark Belanger, who was a poor hitter. Before that, the O's were a respectable team with Willy MIranda. When Ron Hansen, a good fielder and hitter, arrived in the late fifties, he replaced Miranda. Martin should stay at short until a good fielder and hitter is added to the O's nest. A baseball team is unwatchable without excellent fielding up the middle.

K.C. saw the O's make a move for first place and stayed in the running by trading away Bailey. It's a dog eat dog world. Just when you think the O's locked up the No 1 draft choice, a dog bites 'em. Could be an epic battle down to the finish line.

The Tigers were closing in on first place. The O's had to make a move to secure first place in the draft next year. Withoug Cashner, Orioles are in the driver's seat now. Cashner pitching every five games for the O"s was killing the franchise and he was a gift to the Tigers.

The AL East Champ will lose 70 games.
