From:
http://baltimore.orioles.mlb.com/NA...t=.jsp&c_id=bal NORFOLK, Va. -- The Norfolk Tides and Baltimore Orioles announced today that the two clubs have agreed on a four-year Player Development Contract that extends through the end of the 2010 season. (snip) Norfolk replaces the Ottawa Lynx as the Triple-A affiliate of the Orioles, which had been stationed in Ottawa since 2003. The change in affiliation also ends the Tides' partnership with the New York Mets, which had been in place since the 1969 season. |

I like this move... I've long thought the O's could set up pretty much their entire minor league system in the Delmarva area... it would be efficient for them, and would give fans in the area something extra to root for... I also heard that Comcast might broadcast a number of Tides games on their network... |

It'll be nice to have all the O's affliates so close, too. Four hours
is hardly anything, considering the 10 - 12 hour drive to Rochester and the 14 - 18 hour drive to Ottawa. Using the bridge-tunnel, it's only about 2 hours from Salisbury to Norfolk, which would make a Baltimore Minor League Roadtrip much easier. Norfolk/VA Beach is a good area, lots of military and families, and the area is beginning to make noise about becoming a home for some sort of pro team. Shame I don't live down there anymore...I always enjoyed the old Met Park near my first college campus. - Ray Bradley Larry Cottrill wrote: Quote:

The circumstances behind the shuffle really helped the Orioles this time around, as opposed to last time when Rochester didn't want anything to do with the Orioles and the team got stuck with one of the donkey prizes (the other being New Orleans). -- Dan Szymborski dan@baseballprimerREMOVE.com "A critic who refuses to attack what is bad is not a whole-hearted supporter of what is good." -Robert Schumann |

If you can get from Northern Virginia to I-81 in less than two hours,
you have to go in the middle of the night! Or, more to the point, NOT hit every light on US 15 - that's a toughie. - Ray Bradley Dan Szymborski wrote: Quote:

1) Please don't top-post. 2) I think he was mocking your 10-12 hours to Rochester/14-18 hours to Ottawa thing. It should be about half of that. |

Eeek! With the toll$ to cross the CBBT it would be alot cheaper to drive to Balmer from the most of the Sho' and watch the O's. Maybe that is the plan, but O's fans on Delmarva will NOT be making many trips to Norfolk, (although I will plan a few). It might, however, help to replace some of the loss of their exposure to the D.C. market and consolidate the fan base further south. There are millions of people in the Norfolk region and it can't hurt to play up the O's brand there. For marketing, it is the best move they could have made. Either way, it is good news that the O's are out of Ottawa. |
