Back in Black and Orange

Well folks, I decided to revive this blog and one of the main purposes is that there aren't enough blogs out there that are holding Andy MacPhail accountable for his actions or lack there of in rebuilding the Baltimore Orioles.

So don't expect any orange colored glasses here. I'm not going to tell you Brandon Snyder is going to be a power hitter at the ML level and will be our 1B man for the next decade. And don't expect to hear that Chris Tillman is going to suddenly figure out how to get ML hitters out at the same rate he did in the minors without throwing a high fastball.

No, here you will get the other side, the side that sees MacPhail signing Garrett Atkins as our big RH cleanup bat because he could get him on the cheap. And the fact MacPhail has never signed a big FA bat to put his club into contention and likely never will. Or the fact that he is so obssessed with pitching that he has neglected to stock our minor league system with impact bats and yet refuses to trade all of that pitching he's stockpiled.

Somebody's got to hold MacPhail accountable for this and demand that he do better.

If it's just me at least somebody is doing it.

Our players and you fellow fans deserve more than what we are getting.
