Dear Mr.Zachary Britton,Please pitch a good game tomorrow, I really would hate to see my O's lose when I never get to see them. Please and thank you.

Hey guys, I'm just letting you know this series did not stop. We had a bad storm rip through my neighborhood a couple days ago, and I didn't have access to a computer. I'm really sorry for not being able to get it up lately. And I won't be able to join the thread tomorrow, because I will be in Atlanta for the Orioles game. But alas, here's today's fresh-hot "Cup of Joe".

Former Ravens player, Houshmandzadeh, will miss team - Carroll County Times:

"I wish things had ended better," Houshmandzadeh told the Times in a telephone interview. "I'm not a guy who drops the ball, but I dropped a ball that really matters. Last year was a really bad year for me on the field. It was just one of those things last year because Baltimore is the best place to play," Houshmandzadeh said. "That's why it disappoints me. I love the people there. I can't say a bad word about them. I wish I could come back, but I know the dynamic and how it works.

Ravens Post-Lockout Checklist " Baltimore Ravens Blogs

It’s not certain when the NFL’s work stoppage will come to a close, but many are hopeful its weeks away. With a much-shortened offseason ahead, league and club affairs will be kicked into overdrive. But Mike Duffy believes the #1 priority should be to begin contract talks with Haloti Ngata and Marshal Yanda. I have to agree with him seeing that these are two players we can't afford to lose.

what housh said

Reflects a consensus amongst players that we are a great organization and that we treat our players very fairly.

Stuff like that is very important when it comes to attracting a free agent when you can’t quite match someone elses offer

Was it necessary to post a picture of Britton?

Not only has he pitched a great game, he also hit a homerun, and scored twice. I guess that made this game a good one to watch for an Orioles fan.

Congrats on the win.

In the future, please just try and do one thing: Beat the Yankees and Red Sox.
