SOTBSports: A Small Dose of Oriole Magic
Is it safe to enjoy Orioles baseball yet? That’s a question I’ve asked myself this season.

Anyone who knows me knows that, even though I don’t watch the NFL like I used to, I still keep up with the Ravens. That said, the last two games, I’ve been in tune with even more so for one reason: there is a proverbial passing of the torch going on at M&T Bank Stadium. […]
