Welcome.

When Camden yards was a new park, a bunch of friends and I went to a game. Afterwards, we spent an obscene amount of money at Pickles Pub, across the street.
Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

This is a test, nothing malicious about it.

It's just to check out new members.

Who's the radio announcer for the Baltimore Orioles?

Good question, one I can't answer. They really haven't had anyone that will leave a legacy like Marty Brennaman did with the Reds or Jack Buck did with the Cardinals. I don't live in the area anymore but I still follow them. When I did live there Mel Proctor was the voice of the Orioles. Jim Palmer was the analyst. He left to take a job with the Padres and last I heard he was doing Nats games. John Miller also did a spell for them before leaving for the SF Giants and continued work with ESPN. I know Gary Thorne is affiliated with them from the fairly recent spat with Curt Schilling.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
