  "Samuel becomes Baltimore's sixth manager since 1997, the last time the team had a winning season. He follows Ray Miller, Mike Hargrove, Lee Mazzilli, Perlozzo and Trembley." Found that interesting.

  "Juan Samuel has the job now, but you have to assume that he's truly just the interim guy. Based on my perusal of Orioles' blogs and stuff, O's fans seem to be begging for an experienced major league manager, and one would think that Andy MacPhail is thinking the same thing." Hmm, wonder where he read that....
