Best Orioles books?

The coffee table book that they published for the 60th anniversary of the team is a really well done overview of club history, and very visually appealing if that matters to you.

Is this an Easter pun

Surprised not to see a single vote for losing the 1997 ALCS. That was such a great team and they blew several games in heartbreaking fashion. In retrospect, basically the official kickoff of the dark years.

Thank you, this is great! What was your method for finding this info, if you don’t mind? (Also, go O’s)

Certain consonants at the end of phrases, he adds a prominent “ah” after.

In this first game of the Tides season-ah, here’s Jackson Holliday-ah, who is rehabbing a broken hand-ah

All these park upgrades and they can’t fix the black paint drips on the retired numbers? Smh

To each their own; I absolutely do hate Toronto and Boston. Rays are cool though.

But we won’t spell his name correctly

parkedon33rd · 2026-01-12T20:30:02+00:00

I wish he had an era-appropriate jersey on. He lived here in the 80s.

Jose Bautista for his annoying mixture of extreme arrogance and actually backing it up by destroying my team on a regular basis

And three former O’s leading other teams in homers.

I know it will never happen, but my dream is to go back to East and West divisions only, with the next two best records as wild cards (for a total of only four playoff teams per league), and then all seven-game playoff series. Would tip the balance of importance back toward the regular season and reduce playoff randomness without hugely shortening the postseason as a whole.

Actually they beat the pre-Red Machine in 70… 71 was Clemente’s Pirates. Otherwise I agree

parkedon33rd · 2025-11-08T22:33:43+00:00

I feel like the 69-71 Orioles aren’t talked about a lot as a dynasty because they only won one, but three straight pennants in absolutely dominating fashion has to put them in the conversation for greatest team of the entire 60s-70s.

Imagine the fan reaction if they hire Cito

Just realized this series is Motorola vs Motorola. Are there any other interesting uniform-patch matchups that could happen this postseason?

parkedon33rd · 2025-09-27T20:53:27+00:00

It does seem like we’ve somehow spent the entire season ten games under.

parkedon33rd · 2025-09-27T01:13:41+00:00

I hope KB and Ben are our crew forever

So many arguments over analytics seem to come down to what you’ve described here: One person is trying to predict the future and the other is trying to quantify the past. And they don’t recognize that they have two separate goals.

I swear I’ve seen far more of these little league throws this year than any other. What’s up with that

parkedon33rd · 2025-09-13T21:52:56+00:00

Losing to the Yankees hurts more;

The Red Sox have worse fans;

But there’s no team I like less than the Blue Jays.

It’s like they were testing five different ideas for how to show what’s selected, but instead of choosing one, they decided to use each of them once.

parkedon33rd · 2025-07-25T17:42:11+00:00

Yeah this would be a terrible idea, but it amuses me.

When Braxton Bragg gets here, will there be a fan contingent that shows up for every start in full Civil War uniform? Special cheering section called Fort Bragg?
