"We do not have the leadership or the coaches that we need to make this a better organization," said [Paul] Blair, an outfielder on the 1970 team. "There's no structure here, no leadership here. Until we get that, we're going to continue to struggle." Ouch. -zk
Britt's Bird Watch: Bergesen's day
"When asked after the Orioles 6-5 win if Bergesen would get to make his next start interim manager Juan Samuel said, 'at this point, yes'." Ahhhh, "At this point", which is another way of saying, "Maybe yes, maybe no...we really don't have a plan." -zk

I was going to bash the Kitsap Sun for getting the anniversary of Birdland Day wrong
But it turns out zk is the culprit :) Birdland Day is June 30th.
Isn't it almost impossible to believe that none of the perfect games this season have been thrown against us? -O'sFan21
whoops
ME NOT REED TO GUD
It’s funny, I thought it was the 30th as well, and just assumed I was mis-remembering.

MLB Daily Dish has a post up in re the Dodgers would be willing to move Matt Kemp for pitching help
Does anyone think it would be possible / advisable to consider a Guthrie & Jones for Kemp?
Matt Kemp????
Really? Wow. His .771 OPS this year is his lowest since his rookie year. His OPS for this year is 109, lowest in 3 years. What happens to those numbers in the AL East?
Guts + AJ? Man, I might have to do more research and actually consider that. Basically, we get a better version of AJ for the cost of AJ plus Guts. Then we need two starters next year, as Guts and Millwood are gone. Hmm……
"If you go up there clueless, you're going to come back [to the dugout] clueless. It's that simple." - Nick Markakis
Good point. I haven't been paying much attention to him this year.
The original query was based more on his great performance last year. Looking at his career stats it appears last year may be his outlier; possibly due to the protection afforded him by Andre Either.

But pair him with Nick Markakis
do both improve?

Kemp would provide the O's with a legit right handed clean up hitter
and Chavez Ravine has always been a pitchers park. Maybe his power numbers could improve in Camden Yards in spite of moving from the NL West to the AL East.

I'm just tempering my initial enthusiasm
because my first thought was “Holy crap! We GOTTA do that deal!”

When I read that "Baseball Day in Norway"
I thought they were talking about the country. And was really confused.
