Off-Season Intrigue ... Sort-Of

For this Birds fan, uniform changes and managerial pontifications qualify as intrigue

by Matthew Taylor

Off-seasons? They are no off-seasons in baseball. Well, actually there are, but The Sun is giving O's fans some interesting things to think about these days. Some required off-season reading comes in the form of Dan Connolly's column "O's should follow Series' leaders" and Peter Schmuck's scoop on the unveiling of the new Baltimore road jerseys ... and new Bird logo?

A quote from Connolly's column:

"If Trembley isn't the right man for this Orioles team, then get a new team, or most of a new one anyway. Find one that he can teach fundamentals to, one that will appreciate his honesty and his dedication. Find one that mirrors his strengths.

That's what Tampa Bay and Philadelphia did."

Amen, Brother Connolly.
