Bullpen surplus a great relief to O's | orioles.com: News
Spencer Fordin's take on the bullpen. According to him, Jim Johnson is "assured" to be the setup man for closer Gonzalez. Really? I'm fin eif that's the case, but I'm not sure the club isn't eyeing Koji in that slot as well. -zk

Although Lee County and Fort Myers officials were thinking this week they might still be able to convince the Baltimore Orioles to move to City of Palms Park in 2012 because of legal issues in Sarasota, officials in Sarasota County say they still have a contract with the team.

I liked this quote in the ST article
We’re ‘Oriolizing’ the stadium"
I don’t know why, but that sounds really exciting to me.
Check out more of my highlights at dailymotion.com/gatecitycanes
Sounds adoreable to me.
Vizzini: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Man in Black: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons.
West End Girls, eh?
Now there’s a quality 80’s synth pop duo.
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
I want a new "orioles magic" video à la 80s synthpop.

Date of game surcharge?
That’s the stupidest thing ever.
I get 13 games all year, but I never go to my Sunday games. I just exchange tickets as I go. Motherfuckers.

I don't think it affects exchanges at all.
It’s just for people that walk up and buy their tickets, and really, if that dollar makes or breaks going to the game for you, you should probably not be spending the money in the first place.
"I'd like to do something. We all would here," he added. "As I've said before, you just don't want to do anything stupid that you're thinking in May, 'What in the God's green earth was I thinking about?'" - Andy MacPhail 12/8/09
yeah, but that dollar won't make or break the Orioles, either
so why slap your fans in the face?

Gotta pay for Garrett Atkins somehow
It really is dumb to charge a fee for the walk up customer. It seems kind of dumb, it’s not like tickets are going like hotcakes. An extra dollar or two wouldn’t stop me though, unless it seeps into my unconscious.
Librarians are hiding something
It's bullshit. Newsflash, O's, you'll sell more advance tickets when you start winning. Stop punishing the fans; we've been punished enough.

WHen you have 26 tickets, one dollar means 26 dollars
and two dollars means 52 dollars. It’s more than “one dollar”
Good to know it doesn’t effect exchanges.

Decreasing Fanbase
I am so sick of this team!!!! Or should i say the owner ship. I love the orioles but hate the owner. You know there are alot of people who don’t have two dimes to rub together and half of the attendance for the oriole games are walk up crowds. They have once again taken something away from the fanbase. You know one of the beauties of baseball is that it is fun to walk up to the stadium and get a ticket to the game. Now you have to pay a price for doing that!!!! It is insane and complete crap!!!
half of the attendance for the oriole games are walk up crowds
Is that based on anything or just angry ranting exaggeration?
Angry!!!
But a good bit of fans are walk ups. Everytime I goto the game there is a huge line for tickets. And dont’ tell me that you agree with what there doing!!!

Well
Some people don’t have money to go to the game much less put up an extra dollar or tow to go to the game. That is one of the beauties of baseball. On the day of the game you turn to your friend and say hey man wanna goto the game today. You shouldn’t be penalized for that.
