This isn't normally that newsworthy, except that when the team picked up the option for 2008 last September, the team promptly lost the game that evening 30-3.
So needless to say, I'm not watching the game tonight  |
I wouldn't worry about them losing this game as much as I would worry about them losing most of their future games. What the hell made them think that now would be a good time to resign him? I mean apart from the fact that they have one of the three or four worst records in the AL and have lost nine of their last ten, why wouldn't they wait until the end of the year? Maybe they just wanted to end the (probably justifiable) speculation that he would be sacked. I have to say that from a relative outsider's perspective, the O's front office doesn't really seem to have a good plan for how to significantly improve this team. They have good fans amd plenty of resources, they really have no business battling the Royals and Mariners for the AL cellar.
