That's right - remember who signs your checks, Mr. Hogarty. -duck

Orioles Insider: Random Oriole thoughts and opinions
Adam Jones takes fly balls every day, honest; The Phillies are scouting the Orioles; Jason Berken ain't making the All-Star Team, at least in the opinion of Jeff Zrebiec; Zach Britton throws a lot of groundball outs, and that's a good thing; and Josh Bell may not want to pack his things back to Norfolk just yet. -duck
