     As another displaced (Connecticut) Oriole fan, I have to disagree--I kept
hoping for the Birds to straighten out and fly right, but after months of
watching them lose when the Tigers do and occasionally lose when Detroit
wins, I don't see how they can pull it off.  Only a major Tiger tailspin
could make a difference now, and even then we'd still have Toronto to beat
(though things look a bit better this week than they have in the past.)
     A question for O's radio listeners:  What happened to Chuck Thompson
and his sidekick (*not* Tom Marr)?  I thought they were one of the
all-time best baseball announcing teams ever--they knew the subject, the
team, gave *intelligent* descriptions and explanations, and best of all,
knew when there was nothing to say, and *shut up*.  I missed a lot of
broadcasts the last few years, and now that I'm back, they're gone.
Why?
     I can only get the O's after dark, on Washington (D.C.)'s WTOP,
a clear-channel station, and it's not great.  Does anyone know of a
rogue station around New Haven, Connecticut, that carries their games?
