Surprisingly Unsurprising
People listened to last week’s show, and called us “positive.” You want positive, we’ve got your positive right here!
We walk through the Orioles roster (OK, not the whole thing… going through all 69 players just wouldn’t be nice) and write a story that represents the players’ best case scenarios.

Through it all, we provide our signature lack of insight and baseless opinion. But we do it with an eye to the future. We’re doing it for the children – just like Pat Valaika.
