Ravens:
Bryant McKinnie has been resigned to an incentive laced 2 year, $7M contract, which analysts predict will solidify our offensive line. However, in my opinion, we still lack a go-to “Hands” receiver. That Boldin trade is looking worse and worse every day.
Orioles:
Orioles continue to have ups and downs, but still remain in the hunt. 10 games into an 11 game west coast road trip, the O’s are 6-4, and will come home a winner, regardless of today’s outcome. Orioles are 1/2 game behind New York for a Wild Card Spot.
