This is Birdland. You have to get your excitement where you can.

Just hearing Birdland gives me flashbacks to the mid-2000’s Orioles and that awful marketing campaign.

Observation: Caleb Joseph was in the Orioles organization a year longer than Matt Wieters.   Hard to believe.

It will one day be an epic collectible. Like a Randy Milligan Jersey.

HEY.  Don't you dare equate the crappiness of Beckham with Randy Milligan, a man so far ahead of his time that no one understood how good he was.

He can afford to make decisions like this since we’re still in tear down mode.  

Those guys wouldn't help us win even if we weren't in tear down mode.  I dont understand people affinity for bad players like Joseph and Schoop.

When we lost a good player like Markakis everyone was happy to see him go.

Caleb seems like a good enough dude, but he won’t be missed. One of the worst “regulars” in the majors.

Randy Milligan had a chance at a decent career derailed by a knee injury at Oakland in 1990.  Put up a 155 OPS+ that year, but was never as good after the injury.  One of my favorite Orioles players ever.

I’ll miss Jo’s 2-3 clanks a game off his mit and his customary trip to the backstop to chase a ball down at the worst possible time.

Career .391 OBP.  Moose sounds like he's joking but he's correct.

1992: 577 PA, 106 walks, 81 strikeouts.

Wear it proudly on “Your Favorite Ex-Oriole Promo Shirt Night”, where I’ll break out my Hyun-Soon Kim shirt amidst a sea of Hakuna Machado and Nate McLouth “Wanted: Base Bandit” tees.

Just because he was non-tendered doesn't mean he won't be back.

His .391 career OBP in more than 2,000 ABs would make him an All Star now.
