Friday Bird Droppings

The Orioles enter today's home opener atop the AL East having just laid waste to Tampa's vaunted homegrown rotation and craftily constructed bullpen. The three game total 20 runs put up by the Orioles handily exceeded the amount scored in nine games at the Tropicana Memorial Mausoleum in 2012. Not to be an arrogant Orioles fan, but I welcome the Twins with open arms.
