Speaking of baseball...

I need to start spending some time talking about the sport I love the most...baseball. I could blog everyday about baseball and have something interesting and unique to say each day. Although undoubtedly I will talk about the Orioles repeatedly. They just continue to find ways to frustrate me. How hard is it to go on a 4-game winning streak? We are one of the few teams that haven't. All I really want from the O's is a .500 record. I know they can't do any better than that right now. Even worse, they're starting to look like a team that will have yet another losing record and fourth place finish in the division. I'm kind of fired up right now, so I am giving myself an ultimatum. On July 4, if the Orioles are below .500 and/or at least 8 games back in the division, I will prematurely throw in the towel for the 2006 season. Unlike my best friend back home who has long ago given up and begun rooting for the Mets, I foolishly remain optimistic. But I can't go through a ninth consecutive losing season, I need to see some sign of improvement. So far, that hasn't happened. I will revisit this topic in about three weeks...hopefully with good news!
