Thursday Open Thread

Some nights I have time to make-a da links. Alas, tonight is not one of those nights.

Today in baseball history | Richmond Times-Dispatch

August 6, 1986 - The Texas Rangers beat the Baltimore Orioles 13-11 in a record-setting battle of grand slams. Texas' Toby Harrah hit a grand slam in the second inning before Larry Sheets and Jim Dwyer connected for grand slams in Baltimore's nine-run fourth.

This is an Open Thread.

EDIT (by duck): I've got a few minutes before I'm out the door for Cub Scout camp for the weekend. So...

• Dan Connolly over at The Sun asks: Who will be the O's ace in 2011?
• Chris Hoiles stepped down as York Revolution manager yesterday.
• Tristen Cockcroft of EPSN.com looks at the O's young pitchers from a fantasy perspective.
• It doesn’t look like the O’s will end up signing their second-round pick.
• Steve Meleswki gives a bunch of stats about last night's game.
• Troy Patton didn't do too well last night.
• Think our rebuilding is frustrating? Read this.
• And finally, just because it makes me happy...
