Proof this organization is clueless!

Here is further proof (as if any were needed) that the Baltimore Orioles are totally clueless. Here is the text of the email the Orioles sent me today:


    BUY YOUR ORIOLES TICKETS NOW

Starter Jeremy Guthrie pitched a gem on Sunday, allowing only one unearned run on three hits and two walks in 8 1/3 innings, but wound up with a no-decision against the Red Sox. The offense had its most productive game of the weekend Friday night when outfielder Nick Markakis and third baseman Melvin Mora each recorded four hits.

Be sure to come out to Oriole Park when the O's come back home next week to take on the Blue Jays and the A's.

Star-divide

I don't know that I need to say any more, but I will. The management of this team thinks yesterday's game is a good reason for you to buy tickets to the upcoming homestand! They think this is the kind of baseball you like to see!

After 10 years of losing baseball, you dear Oriole fan are not even supposed to care if your team wins or loses anymore. You are just supposed to be happy that a young pitcher threw 8.1 good innings, and the team got some hits. What more can you ask for really?

I wish someone could knock some collective sense into this organization. If they had an ounce of common sense the only context they would mention yesterday's game in would be in the form of an apology. The email should have said: "Boy did that suck! We're real, real sorry about that, and have taken steps to make sure it never happens again by firing the idiot manager who made yesterday's debacle possible. Please, please forgive us!"

Instead we get this garbage.

This organization needs to be blown up from top to bottom: from Peter Angelos right down to the guy who refreshes the urinal cakes. They all need to go.

Catcher Paul Bako - for unclear reasons - seems to be a frequent target.

Well...
Check out my new marketing slogan (in my sig). How do you get those cute little images into your sig, BTW?

I'm pretty depressed...Navy Lax lost to UNC in the playoffs yesterday too. All around a bad sports day.
