Social networking with me and the Baysox
It's funny how opinions evolve over time.
When I first heard about Twitter, I thought it was extremely useless and refused to join.
Despite watching several thousand people jump on the bandwagon and sign up for the social networking platform, I still declined to register.
But my stubborn attitude is finally in the past.
Tom Sedlacek, the communications manager for the Double-A Bowie Baysox, e-mailed me yesterday to let me know the team was now registered on Twitter for fans to follow.
That's when I knew it was time to catch up to the rest of society and join.
If fans are able to follow minor league baseball on Twitter -- which I think is a tremendous idea, by the way -- they should also be able to follow their favorite blog about the topic (that's O's on Deck, I hope).
You can follow the Baysox on Twitter by clicking here. My Twitter page can be found here, and I hope to provide news about minor league baseball -- and other sports -- in the future.
I've been playing around with the Web site for about 20 minutes now, and it's extremely addictive. If you don't have an account on Twitter already, I recommend signing up and inviting your friends and family to stay in touch with your life.
Don't forget to check out the Facebook fan page for O's on Deck by clicking here. I admit it's been struggling lately, but I'm going to try to update it more in the future. Also, feel free to upload pictures and videos from games that you attend. There are already some good shots on the page.
You can also become a fan of the various affiliates in the Orioles' minor league system by finding them on my Facebook profile.
I wonder if there are jobs for people to play around on Twitter all day posting updates. I think it might be something to pursue in my future endeavors.

If our pitcher is "mowing them down" in the 8th inning, why can't he start the 9th? He is better than a cold closer, especially Sherill, who hasn't been sharp since last year's all star game.Fluke? Tremby stays too long with "favorites"! See; Pie, Wiggy,Zaun,Sharill, Hendrickson, Eaton,& more.Any of our pitching prospects doing better than what is here? Bring them up, what's to lose?
