Welcome to our newest feature on BaltimoreSportsReport.com, the comments of the week. There’s plenty of circular arguments, historical references and just plain awesome comments thrown around BSR every week. We though we’d highlight three of them for you to re-discuss.

I think the Orioles need to look outside the walls of Camden Yards this year to get some fresh new blood in the managerial role. – Greggulator

Please, spare me. Fix this by fiat. It’s a GAME. No life and death, no role models for the kids. Just do the right thing. Who will be upset? – Mike D
