Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Eutaw Street?
Hopefully it's not the cornerstone.
"Just a building block. You don't really put much on it.”
-Steve Trachsel after a rough first outing for the O’s; 3 runs, four hits, one walk .
Neither team is exactly "The King of the World."

B-Rob's Mob Mentality.
“There were days last year where I couldn't even take batting practice because I needed to save some of my bullets for the game.”
-Brian Roberts shares what he learned from last season.
It's nice to know he still cares.
"Of course I'd like to do well against them, any team. But I'd like to do well against them. But I think it's just more anxious to get out there and get the first one out and that's about it."
-John Maine says he’d like to play well against the O’s.
O's pitching makes me nauseous for a different reason.

"Actually, 1983 is the last time this organization was really happy. We were so close and loose, smart about the game, beating clubs with more talent. We lost the first game of the '83 ALCS. The next night it's 7:28 p.m. The TV announcers were saying, 'Where are the Orioles? They're not on the field yet. They must be in disarray after losing Game 1.' We were at the door of the clubhouse, packed together, watching 'Wheel of Fortune.' We're yelling, 'Pick a vowel!' Finally, somebody figured out the puzzle and we all barreled out the door."
-Mike Flanagan reminisces about the ’83 O’s.
