Leading Off
We may have lost some games to the rain, but the Orioles weren’t all wet – they ended the week at .500 – splitting series with the White Sox and the Rays. That’s like a real  baseball team!

This Week on the Twitters
Here is what is happening in the world of Orioles Baseball, in 280 characters, or fewer:

I ran out of my normal podcasts and re-tried one. Over 10 minutes into the pod and not one mention of baseball. I just quit it.
Please talk about mainly baseball on a baseball podcast. Or just call it two lonely dudes talking.

On the Move?


Orioles fans had to face their long-repressed demons this weekend, as a guest on one of the local-yokel radio stations spread a rumor that the Orioles might move to Las Vegas. We discuss why we as Baltimorons are so susceptible to this kind of danger, and how likely it is.
We also discuss the ongoing MASN saga, and how viable Baltimore is a MLB market.
 
Real Baseball


Hey, there was actual baseball this week! Did you miss it? Don’t blame us – blame it on the rain. Topics include:

* Anthony SANTANDAAAAAAAAAH
* Come from behind victory and defeat in Chicago
* Meet the new Drew Jackson
* How excited can we be over John Means?

OK, maybe Jake got a little excited with the Chris Davis talk last week. He went big, but was not rewarded for it. Dwight Smith Jr.
