    As many of you have noted (both publicly and privately), my predictions
have proven somewhat wrong.  Well, I could make excuses (like Boddicker's
only run was unearned) but I won't.  I blew it, but, I don't care.  You
see, I am a diehard Baltimore Orioles fan and I just wanted them to win.
Murray may not have shined and the O's may have beaten Carlton, but
I still went to bed with a smile on my face last night. 
    How good will Baltimore be next year?    With young pitching
and potential switches (e.g. Roenicke at 3b with Lowenstein full
time in left field), I think the O's have a good shot at the
division title in 1984.  So, not learning from my mistakes, I offer the
following prediction:
 

    The 1984 Baltimore Orioles will not finish in last place.
