Happy Sunday, Camden Chatters! How have you been keeping yourself busy this weekend? Watch any good football? Did you get out and enjoy the unseasonably warm weather? Because surely you didn’t spend any time thinking about the Orioles. What would you even think about? How you just can’t wait for spring training to start in five weeks? How many losses they’ll end up with?

I admit, it will be nice when spring training starts if only because there will be reporter types talking about the team, even if it is mostly fluff. Because right now, we’ve got nothing.
