A Baltimore Orioles Blog and Fan Community 2009-11-19T22:05:03Z http://www.camdenchat.com/rss/fanshots 2009-11-19T22:05:03Z 2009-11-19T22:05:03Z <blockquote> <p>Two bits of news:</p> <p>1) I'm very happy to announce that Matt Taylor, the voice behind <a href="http://roarfrom34.blogspot.com/" target="new">Roar From 34</a>, will be joining the Camden Chat team as a part-time contributor. If you've read Matt's work you know that he has a real talent for writing about the Orioles and I look forward to him sharing some of that with us. </p> <p>2) In more minor site news, you may have noticed a new item on the sidebar titled "Meet The Team." With the recent re-design there was about five miles of white space on the sidebars before getting to the bottom where our contributors names were listed. I thought that was ugly, so created the Meet The Team widget instead. The last link goes to the Who's Who at Camden Chat post. If you're new to the site or never wrote up an intro, click the link and tell us about yourself. </p> </blockquote> <div class="source"><p>Camden Chat Site News</p></div> http://www.camdenchat.com/2009/11/19/1165581/two-bits-of-news-1-im-very-happy Stacey 2009-11-18T22:57:38Z 2009-11-18T22:57:38Z <blockquote> <p>The Orioles have added six players to their 40-man roster: pitchers Brandon Erbe and Luis Lebron, and infielders Josh Bell, Pedro Florimon, Rhyne Hughes and Brandon Snyder.
