There are a lot of things to be thankful for in Birdland this year. More than any year in recent history, I'd say. After years of futility, years of floundering, the Orioles are almost respectable again. They're not there yet, but it's close. I can feel it. To get there...

Today is the first off day that the Orioles have had since May 18th, a span of 16 games. It's not the longest they'll go without an off day (that would be 20 games from mid-August through the beginning of September), but it seems like they have been playing baseball non...
