  1. Shocking. I remember when the bridge was built in the late 1970's. Luckily they were able to stop traffic in both directions prior to the accident. Only 6 people missing, although horrific, is incredible.
  2. I like what Jake Peavy said on MLB network. He talk about how invaluable it is for the rest of the staff to be able to learn from Burnes. Compared it to his time with the Braves learning from Greg Maddux. If any of the current guys can learn that cutter from Burnes, watch out. Great trade for both clubs. Ortiz is going to be 26 by the end of the season. His time is now. If the Brewers unlock something in Hall they win too.
  3. Anyone know the over/under on how soon John Angelos sues Rubenstein? I say 3 months.
  4. I expect Cal to have the same input as Tom Clancy and Pam Shriver under Angelos' ownership tenure.
  5. Don't forget all the medical evaluations that saved the Orioles from wasting money on free agents one inning away from having their arms fall off.
  6. You lose cred by including Texas in your rant. The only reason they are included is because the Rangers spent like crazy and it worked out for them. Other teams have tried the same approach (Padres, Phillies, Mets) and it didn't quite work. It all depends on ownership. Even the O's in 90's and Nats during their run spent near the top. Also, in the last 10 years there have been 9 different champions. I think MLB is quite happy with that.
  7. Makes you wonder if the O's demise in the late 80's could have been avoided by keeping Peters at the helm. Probably not, given the free hand he was given in Cleveland; but man, he sure did take a lot of front office talent with him. I would have loved to have seen John Hart follow Peters as Baltimore's GM.
  8. Redzone is included in NFL+ which costs $16 per month. With NFL+ you also get NFL Network and live local games that air in your area on any channel. So, you get ESPN's MNF game without having ESPN. NBC's SNF without having NBC, etc.. You also can watch any game via replay 90 minutes after it finishes. That is how I watched the Colts/Ravens game this year as it wasn't shown in my local area. They do a pretty good job on NFL.com of blocking the scores if you choose that as an option. The only downside is I have to watch live games on my tablet. They don't show live games on the NFL app through my TV due to some contractual reasons. This is how I NFL.
  9. Those complaining about the unfairness of division winners getting knocked out early won't be complaining when the O's are a wild card team next year. My idea for a solution is a little bit different. To qualify for the playoffs a team must win 90 games. All teams that win 90 games are in. Get rid of "leagues" and just combine them in a tournament. This year 8 teams would have qualified. In 1982, only 5 make it. Figure out a format based on the number of teams and roll with it.
  10. At least he got out of it with minimal damage. Our guys need to respond.
  11. I wouldn't. They have to win all three regardless. I'd rather give Bradish his greatest chance and put pressure on Texas in a game five. Now, if Grod pitched well in his outing I would have used both Bradish in game four and Grayson in game five. Unfortunately, Grayson can't be trusted in such a role this year.
  12. O's haven't been swept all season. Just win tonight. Then win another. Do that and then they get a one game playoff at home with their ace on the mound.
  13. If you dislike Smoltz for his " boomer thing" you must really hate Palmer.
  14. Yes, but Webb is a waiver guy. He was let go by the Angels. Flaherty has a ton of playoff experience. Why is he on the roster if Hyde doesn't use him in an obvious spot where he should be used?
