Oriole magic

Well I know alot of you are expecting a great comeback to humor filled exciting columns with death defying comedy.  But this is not that.  This is more me putting on paper a feeling I have so that I can look back and say see I told you ... or damn I am the dumbest person alive....  So here goes .. the Baltimore Orioles are going to turn it around this year.  What that means I do not know.  There have been 12 losing seasons here in Bmore with our O's.  But I just have a very strange feeling about this season.  I cannot explain it.  It's actually kinda creeping me out as I have never in my life really cared at all about baseball other than something to do with my dad.  But I just have this feeling... Like I did with my Steelers that there is something going on here this year with this team.. Don't get me wrong I am NOT saying we are going to the World Series or even the postseason.  What I am saying is that 3 years from now when that could happen we are going to look back on 09 as the season it started to turn around.  

It is very strange.  Normally when Football ends it's on to hockey but for some strange reason less than a week after my Steelers won the Superbowl I am walking around in O's gear chomping at the bit for baseball.  I cannot explain it at all.. Normally I would still be basking in the glow of Sixburgh... but for some reason I feel like the O's have a summer of magic in store and I am so excited to be apart of it.  I have already driven my wife and most of my family nuts with this so I am putting this here so that if this truly is the magic season I think it will be I can look back on it and say .. I told you.  

Love you guys

GO O's ... This is Birdland
