Happy Saturday, Camden Chatters. I'm filling in for the talented Bill Duck today as he's off...wrestling? Softballing? Politicking? One of those I'm pretty sure.
We're now just 37 days away from Opening Day. The number 37 is currently worn by no one, but Kevin Gausman did don it in 2013 before switching to his current 39. Other distinguished Orioles to wear 37 are former closer and current brewmaster Chris Ray as well as John "T-Bone" Shelby.
Quick story before I give you the links. We have this handy little tool for creating link posts. It's a button you can put on your browser toolbar and when you see a story you want to include, you click the button and a window pops up where you can write up a description.

It worked for all other articles, but not that one. That's how bad of an idea it is to trade for Jay Bruce.

Dexter Fowler's reversal a body blow to the Orioles - Yahoo Sports
Another Fowler article, this one from noted skimmer Jeff Passan. But I like it for the way it talks about Adam Jones, a player we are lucky to have.
Is today your birthday? Happy birthday! Your only Orioles birthday buddy is the newest member of the team, Yovani Gallardo. He turns 30 today.
