Finding My Orioles Magic
Camden Chatter joet writes of the difficulties in getting excited for another tough season and what finally made the difference. -Stacey

O’s spring training: The 25 who will make it (#12) | WNST
Drew profiles Brad Bergesen and predicts the impact he'll have on the team in 2010. I mean, he told me he was going to write up Felix Pie, but I guess I'll get over it. -Stacey

Millwood not concerned by poor debut - baltimoresun.com
Jeff Zrebiec wraps up the Orioles day against the Tigers. Quote of the day from Nolan Reimold, "I'm going to try to not hurt myself any more, I guess." Good plan, Nolan. -Stacey

Millwood on Millwood
He was working on his fastball command and change up and that's going to be hard day when he only throws those pitches. Clearly. -Stacey

Yay Amber!
Amber Theoharis has arrived in Sarasota and she's full of optimism. -Stacey

B-Rob and Nick can lead the way
Can you even believe that Brian Roberts has been with the Orioles for a decade? And Nick Markakis for five years? Where has the time gone? -Stacey

Markakis 'a whole lot more serious' - baltimoresun.com
I'm not crazy about the headline, and the article might be typical for Spring Training, but this article makes me feel VERY good about Nick Markakis. -Stacey

Really like

the finding my Orioles magic piece.

kinda sad about D-cab. The few time’s he was on he was a marvel to watch. unfortunately no control is a recipe for disaster. Hope he can figure something out over at the White Sox

D-Cab

I was such a kool-aid drinker,w asn’t I?

Also, this snippet from the Sun article about Nicky literally made me laugh out loud:

That feeling led to his changing the way he ate and worked out in the offseason, and reporting to camp in the best shape he’s ever been in.

Is Jeff Zrebiec giving us a subtle shout-out, or what? ;)

Where is the report that Amber showed up to spring training in the best shape of her life?

This is the sort of thing us fans need to know.

Tidbit from Buster Olney's column today:

One talent evaluator’s take on the Orioles’ Brian Matusz: “He’s like Cole Hamels but with a better fastball. He’s got a chance to be really special, with that stuff and command. Last spring, the pitcher I liked, as an up-and-comer, was Josh Johnson. Now, it’s [Matusz]. If he’s not the best young pitcher in the American League, I’d be shocked.”
