I should apply for the position. I have no experience as a bullpen coach but how hard could it be going sub .500 in the east???

At this point, anyone should apply for this position. The results have always been the same, losses.

Run Willie Run ... Away from that abyss that is the Orioles.

Willie's concidered a good coach, many teams wouldn't mind having him.

Now, now, let's not go picking on the Orioles. They won the World Series in 83, the Indians haven't won since Lincoln was president.

The pressure to be good for the first month of the season is crushing. After that it get's pretty easy.

It's sad to see what has become of a once proud franchise. I've always been an Orioles fan (Red Sox 1st, Baltimore 2nd) and I wish they could get their act together.

Kidding aside, I agree with you. They were a class organization back in the day. The last team to join the free agent nonsense but once they did they were awful at it. Good ole Joey Belle springs to mind. Angelos and Thrift ruined them.

I'm just having fun at their expense, I know as a Cle fan that we have absolutely NO room to talk!

I wish the best for the Orioles.

Yeah, when I was a kid they had some great teams. Palmer, Mcnally, Boog Powell, Paul Blair, Brooks Robinson ( I named my second boy Brooks), Frank Robinson, Don Baylor etc.

Ha, back at ya.. At least the Indians were credible this year. The Orioles have a ways to go.

Did you really? Because of Robinson or you just liked the name? Paul Blair was my favorite player, one of the best defensive outfielders I ever saw.
