My first Orioles' game. It was so memorable because I live in Louisiana, and I was supposed to attend my first game on my birthday. Only problem was that Hurricane Katrina hit. It was just nice to finally visit the stadium.

I'm FINALLY writing about the Orioles again. I was very busy with Ravens stuff. But this is basically an offseason preview. The O's will be plenty busy this offseason, and here, I answered how the O's problems can be fixed, and actually pretty easily.

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

Former MLB player Eric Karros called my article into question on Colin Cowherd's ESPN Radio show yesterday.

He challenged me for a re-do: but here's my response.

I assure you, it's not just a ridiculous personal attack, but it shows that Karros was off-base with his statements.

Hey, this is a article that I'm particularly proud of, and I think you will enjoy it. It looks at some of the strangest injuries to ever occur in baseball history, there certainly are some strange ones.

As always any feedback/support would be appreciate, and would like to get this article around BR, so if you could tell a friend who might tell a friend. Then that would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Yo Lawrence what's up?

I've always been proud to have Andy MacPhail in the O's front office. His trades always seem to pan out. Here, I take a look at every trade he's made as an Orioles GM, dating back to 2008. Give it a look. Thanks!
