Opening Day 2012


Here's an interesting tidbit: The O's are 13-4 in Opening Days at Camden Yards including yesterday's 4-2 victory over the Twins. How is it that a team that has had 14 straight losing seasons has a .764 winning percentage when opening at home? Sure, there's home field advantage, and there's also the fact that they're starting their best pitcher. But so is the other team ... and let me tell you that in many years, the other team's best pitcher was better than ours. Here's the best explanation: the 13-4 record reflects the true Orioles and the rest of the decrepit 14 seasons has been massive underachievement. Until 2012.

I need a post analyzing the aesthetic effects of the old new old Oriole bird on the hats. The fact that you have not addressed this situation yet makes me question your loyalties up there.
