The Baltimore Orioles keep on getting (potential) greatness for the low this off-season. After all but stealing Mark Trumbo from the Mariners, and resigning Darren O’Day (for a price that some could argue was lower than expected), the team picked up Korean left fielder/first baseman Hyun-soo Kim. Kim, 28, is coming off a great season […]

I don’t claim to be an expert on sports. I enjoy sportsball of all sorts, but I’m not in the front offices of any teams–unless I’m playing Madden, MLB The Show, or FIFA.

Read moreShould We Panic about the (In)Action of the Orioles?
So, stop me if you’ve heard this one before. A Baltimore Orioles team does meh-to-great in the regular season. If they make it to the playoffs, they get demoralized by a “Cinderella” team that no one expected to be as epic as they were in the post-season. The Orioles team is jacked to the brims […]
