Sherrill is closing??
I must have missed this somewhere, but in today's Spring Training Blog by the WWL, there's a bit about Ray, and the following line:
"George Sherrill, acquired from Seattle in the Erik Bedard trade, will take over for Ray as the club's closer this season."
Did we know this was happening? Honestly, guys...
ESPN's 30-3
In this week's silly Page 2 Quiz, the Orioles get a lot of love.
Or no love.
The love of recognition, at any rate...
Bedard: AL CY Young?
Amy Young has a "fluff" piece on Bedard, over at ESPN.

You've got to love his attitude towards the media. Honestly, if a bunch of reporters showed up at my office every day at 5pm asking me questions, I'd tell them to fuck off, too.
One for Fun
Pick one Major League player (or Minor League, I guess) who you would add to the Orioles roster.
However, you can't pick A-Rod, b/c, quite frankly, he's the best player in baseball.
This is someone that you'd want for awhile. Current contracts and salarys are not an issue. They should fill some sort of hole on the current team.
And please, don't not pick a player b/c you don't like their team. Yes, we need a dependable closer, for example. But don't not choose Mariano simply because he's a Yankee.
More Love from San Diego
A couple of weeks ago I posted in a game thread about the nuts at Gaslamp Ball (the Padres fansite). We had some fun and some laughs with them...
1st Half Awards (Stark)
Jayson Stark gave out his "midseason awards," and there are few surprises.
The only O's mentioned are:
Jay Gibbons (honorable mention, AL LVP)
Jeremy Guthrie (honorable mention, AL ROY)
Rhodes signs with Seattle
From ESPN:

The Mariners signed him to a one-year minor league deal worth $1 million.
Sal Fasano: Person of the Year!
Yeah, you read that right.
Although it's technically "Philadelphia Will Do Person Of The Year" Sal Fasano, it's still a good article you can check out here.
Be sure to watch the YouTube video, too!
Man, how did we let THAT GUY go??? He's still a free agent, right?
