Wednesday Bird Droppings

Good morning, Camden Chatters. It's February now and baseball is inching closer and closer.  It needs to get here ASAP.

I don't necessarily disagree with anything in this article, but I also find it depressing with a more dire outlook on 2016 than I have.

Is today your birthday? Happy birthday! What you lack in quality of Orioles birthday buddies, you make up in quantity. Born on this day are former Orioles Harry Byrd (1925-1985), who made 14 starts for the Orioles in 1955; Jim Dyck (1922-1999), who appeared in 72 games from 1955-1956; Don Wenchel (59), whose entire big league career is comprised of 13 games pitched in relief for the Orioles in 1982-1983; Fred Lynn (64), who had three good seasons for the Orioles in the 1980s; and Scott Klingenbeck (45), who made six starts for the Orioles in 1994-1995 before being traded to the Twins for Scott Erickson.

On this day in 2005, the Orioles traded Jerry Hairston, Jr. to the Cubs for Sammy Sosa. That was weird.
