Oh no. Mr. Oriole

New idea. How about a Mr. Bill doll who wears an Oriole uniform? Can you think of anything more appropriate? Accompanied by a miniature steam roller with all the other team’s logos on the drum. Then we could roll it back and forth over poor Mr. Oriole.

Or Mr. or Ms. Orioles fan. Same thing.

I was really hoping to listen to the game today after learning that WHFS is the Orioles radio broadcast network. When I clicked the “Listen Live” button on their website though, there was dead air. Mercy dead air apparently.

Excitement about Spring Training already dampened. Already a 16-3 loss? Already? I’ll try to think positively that we’re getting the bad losses out of the way first. We always suck in the first part of the year.

Still, I ask, how did my team get this bad? What in the hell happened? And the Orioles front office really wants to withhold Opening Day tickets from the few fans who actually love this team enough to want to be there?

Seriously?

    These are the times that will try an Oriole fan’s soul…

    Unfortunately, we fans have to think of the BIG PICTURE with this bunch o’ birds. I’m just hoping they have enough to hold off the D-Rays for another 4th place finish. I figure if I set my sights low enough, I won’t be that disappointed. Then maybe in 3 or 4 years, if all goes well, the Oriole Way returns and they will be in the thick of things like they used to be.

    And hey, it took the O’s until August last year to lose 30-3. There may be a ways further to fall yet.

    Mr. Bill. That’s classic.

    Mr. Sluggo should wear a Yankee uniform and resemble a roided up Jason Giambi.

    “Uh-oh Mr. Oriole. Injuries have depleted your bullpen and the Red Sox are coming to town.”

    Then a big road grader with a Sox logo runs over him. Or David Ortiz throws him up in the air and bats him out onto Eutaw Street.

    “Oh Nooooooooo!”
