The Baltimore Orioles are making huge changes.
Most importantly, they're bringing their cartoon bird back. Looks insanely cool.

In local news, Mike Maddux is out of the running for the Chicago Cubs gig. Apparently, it's due to the same reasons as stepping out of the Boston Red Sox gig: Family.
By all accounts, it's about staying close to Dallas-Fort Worth and not due to sickness or anything. Apparently, it's about keeping his kids in the same schools and not uprooting everything for the sake of dredging Lake Michigan for the Chicago Cubs' franchise.
Good for him. Good for us.

The Rangers might win the division for another seven years once this happens.

Justin Verlander won the American League Cy Young Award. Joe Maddon will win the American League Manager of the Year as long as the Rays are in contention. Kirk Gibson deservedly gets the National League Manager of the Year.
