Kudos to Peter Angelos and Andy MacPhail for making the 2010 O's one of the worst MLB teams ever.
I'd love to leave an upper-decker in Angelos' house.

Please stop running this blog. We're depressed enough. We know this is one of the worst teams ever!

Guys just remember the as bad as 1988 was, 1989 we damn near went from worst to first. Keep this blog going. The worse we do the more upside we have for next year. Mr Anglos, please please sign some quality FA this off season.. Give us a little something to look forward to.
