I don’t know how I feel about the idea of the Orioles moving to “Dodgertown.” There’s a part of me that says that everything else about the identity and history of this organization has been stripped away; so why shouldn’t they go play in a place that is the real home of the Dodgers?
There is also a piece of me that thinks that the Birds would be better suited getting a new place in Fort Lauderdale, and continuing to try to carve out their own identity in their own Spring home.
I think I lean more to the latter-or at least the blind homer in me does. This organization shouldn’t go to a town where the fans will be ways away from adopting them; and should try to soak up as much as they can in Fort Lauderdale while they are rebuilding.
“Dodgertown” might be a nice place for a team like the Nationals with no history; but I’m not sure it’s the best spot for the Birds.
(This is clearly a moot point if Fort Lauderdale can’t come up with a facility the Birds can use for their minor league camp.)
Let’s see what everyone else has to say….

SOME QUICK THOUGHTS:
-Happy Birthday Gary. As I’ve stated before; I am firmly behind you, and support the fact that there are few coaches in the game who offer as complete a package as you do in the role of Head Coach. You’re a Hall of Famer; and I know that things will continue to improve at my beloved school while you are there. You deserve to be celebrated. Unfortunately; tough losses make some people say things that are a little extra emotional. As someone who cares dearly about the University; I offer you my support.
-Congratulations to Crystal Langhorne, Marissa Coleman, Kristi Toliver, Laura Harper, Greg Sprink, Billy Lange, Gerald Brown, Michael Tuck, and Brian Rudolph for receiving postseason honors.
-This young Maryland Lacrosse team is in better shape than I thought they might be at this point. Good to see they bounced back from a tough loss to Duke over the weekend. Go see UMBC play Johns Hopkins tonight (7, Homewood Field).
-I don’t think the Ravens will find a CB in Free Agency from the Eagles; or from any other team. I think the Draft will supply the team’s answers at Corner.
Talk to you tomorrow.
-G
