The Brexit special!! And oh yeah...MANNY MACHADO IS BACK!!

Evan Habeeb-USA TODAY Sports

Welp, today was one of those scary days in the real world. The United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland) voted to leave the European Union. It is being called "Brexit" (British Exit) and it is messing with the world's economy quite a bit. The DOW went down 611 points, the S&P is down 76 points and people everywhere are freaking out.

It is days like this where I like to thank baseball and sports in general. No, you shouldn't ignore the real problems of the world. In fact, you should do quite the opposite; educate yourself and pay attention. But we all need to step back sometimes. Today is a good day to step back.

It is made even better by the fact that MANNY MACHADO IS BACK!!! Yeah, baby! The O's now have the left side of their infield back for good...we hope. This feels right. I like it. Ok, well stop reading and go distract yourself with some baseball.

Let's go O's!!
