PrintHave fun, all those of you heading to FanFest. Be sure to check out @EatMoreEsskay and his Twitter feed throughout the day for his "insider-for-a-day" take on the goings on.
Orioles to unveil website dedicated to 20th season at Camden Yards - Baltimore Business Journal
"The Baltimore Orioles will unveil at its annual FanFest on Saturday a new website centered on the team’s 20th anniversary season at Camden Yards."
As FanFest arrives, Orioles fans' optimism more muted than last year - baltimoresun.com
"Orioles manager Buck Showalter will take part in his second FanFest on Saturday, and he will be one of the first to say there's not as much buzz around the team's expectations as there was a year ago heading into the unofficial kickoff to the season"
Fantasy Baseball Breaking News - Rotoworld.com
"According to Fernando Ballesteros of Mexican baseball magazine Puro Béisbol, free agent reliever Luis Ayala is weighing offers from the Angels and the Orioles and could sign with one of the two clubs "at any moment."
Steve Melewski: Rick Peterson brings biomechanical analysis to the Orioles
"With Peterson now on board, Orioles pitchers, at both the major and minor league levels, are going to become familiar with something called biomechanical analysis. It's a little more involved than "work fast and throw strikes."
School of Roch: Quick hits from Showalter (and confirming note)
"Showalter also said that Nolan Reimold will get the opportunity in spring training to become the everyday left fielder. "It's time for him to step up," Showalter said, adding that Reimold is out of minor league options."
Report: Oakland A's 'very interested' in Manny Ramirez - San Jose Mercury News
"According to an ESPN Deportes report, the A's are "very interested" in signing the 39-year-old to be their primary designated hitter. Ramirez reportedly has taken swings in an indoor cage for scouts from the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays; he plans to stage further workouts in Miami for other clubs before the end of the month."

About time Duck
I’ve been tapping F5 on the homepage for 2 hours.
Too busy milking the cows?
Will work for Recs.

8:20am?
Obviously duck waited to post Bird droppings until after he’d had his coffee, eaten breakfast, milked the cows, fed the chickens, ridden into town, participated in the defense of Fort McHenry, diddled the little lady, spent a few hours at the bar, and settled down for the evening.

Ha ha
I do, however, have to drive to St. Michaels, coach wrestling for 7+ hours, and drive back. There’s snow on the ground in Easton. Not much, not covering, but the first snow I’ve seen this year.
No, I’m not driving as I type this.

Why does he have to defend Fort McHenry in this day and age?
I like everything else though

Youth is very relative when speaking about duck.
Pretty much anything that occurred prior to the invention of baseball is “youth”.

It’s a little more involved than “work fast and throw strikes.”
Good, because we clearly have that mastered already.
You also need to "change speeds".

Better it should be Dennys than Danys

Amen to Waffle House!
Three things I learned by living within walking distance of a Waffle House in college:
1. The do not take debit cards (at least at that time they didn’t)
2. They do not have biscuits and gravy
3. When the waitress answers you, “Sure, try it” when you ask if you can have the juke box she is being sarcastic and she will call the cops on you. It’s a little hard to explain why there is a juke box blocking the door to the establishment at 3:00 in the morning.

Good job, dude.
I didn’t make the drive down for the ’Fest this morn due to the weather, but your twitter feed was a great substitute for being in person.

Thanks. If I did that then I achieved my goal for the day.

Other blogs were...
Baltimore Sports Report, The Loss Column, The Oriole Post, Baltimore Sports and Life (I think? Stoner’s site), and randomly, one other dude who writes on MASNsports.com but isn’t Roch or Steve. Plus me, of course.
Moroz was scheduled to be there but he wasn’t there. I’m not sure what happened there.

I know he’s supposed to have been working out this time around… but Matusz appeared as skinny as ever.
well done...
you are the cc rapid response team. the liveblogging of the press conferences and fan fest is truly a labor of love…unless you get paid by the tweet.
