I turned down free field boxes and club seats last season, just to stay home and nap.

Without new ownership, there is no hope for on field success.

It's easy to love the O's and baseball itself....but when you take a close look as many do and have a sense of what it takes for winning baseball and making sound talent decisions....I agree damn hard to be upbeat because they just can't seem to make very good decisions most of the time.

Just schedule some games and I'll go.

I'm planning on staying up there for opening weekend since it doesn't look like I'll have any playoff hockey games to worry about.

How about a competitive Major League team playing at the yard. Yeah, that would be nice. Any chance of that happening?

Free Orange "We are Turning the Corner" Kool-Aid night.

Opening Day is always a good time, though.

I voted "spending" only because it's the closest answer for me. Acquiring top tier talent to fill in known weaknesses. Whether that's via spending or trading, I don't really care.

In the meantime, I'll keep sticking to the freebies from work. If they are aggressive in trying to win more now, I'll spend more NOW. Until then, I'll keep my money in my pocket and wait for the big bang...
