yeah but they'll be in the playoffs and they aren't a joke of a franchise.
They are the only team currently that anything but a World Series victory makes their season a complete failure. With that roster and that payroll-- they don't end up winning the whole thing, then yeah, they are a joke and will be.
oh and as crazy as their owner is, at least he cares about the team/winning.
Yeah, bleeding out money has really gotten them a lot of rings these past eight years.
As a self confessed O's fan, I am shocked to see you defending them.
