This is a big weekend for us - our daughter's 4th birthday party. Today is my day off and I have been given strict instructions that it should be spent cleaning the house. So what am I doing? 10 minute cleaning sprints followed by 10 minutes of updates on ESPN and the internet to check on the latest Eric Bedard trade.
I had hoped to refrain on many posts on the Orioles, Ravens or Terps but at some point it becomes necessary to vent built up frustrations or joy when it comes to our home town teams. I am sure I will post a nice blog when the Terps beat the Dukies or NC or when the Ravens thrash the Steelers. Unfortunantly, there just isn't really anything nice to say about the O's - at least not in the past 10 years.
The rumors that the Bedard trade is on the verge of completion have been running wild for almost 2 weeks now. The Orioles are once again the topic of ridicule from the national media.
Part of the problem is the O's unwillingness to come out and update the fans as to what is happening. The Baltimore Sun's Roch Kubatko does a great job of expressing the frustrations us fans are having with this whole process.
In my humble opinion, the best way for the O's to compete in the future is to trade Eric Bedard and Brian Roberts now. We may royaly stink in the near future, but watch out in 2010! However, it's time to either complete the trade or send it to the trash heap and trade Bedard later in the year. End the drama, please!
Update: On February 7th the Orioles officially traded Bedard to the Mariners for 5 players. YEE HAW!!!

Does Les know you have a blog? Does she read??? Because your posting my give her an indication of your "cleaning" devotion today... :-)
I told her once but I think she forgot (I hope!)
Multi-tasking is a gift to be desired very highly. Janissa can talk on the house phone, check her email, surf the internet, text message someone, clean the house and school the kids all at the same time...though the jury is still out of the effectiveness of many individual item.
The O's need to make the trade and move forward...keep Roberts. I may even go to a game or two this season.
