Report: Angelos nixed Deal

[oriolefaith]

STRIKE!!!!!!! MAY 26th

Come on Orioles fans, keep your head up. Now you get to watch Bedard fool hitters for at least the next two years. You'll enjoy the unfairness he brings to the mound.

Angelos, you.da.man.

You really have no reason to gloat, troll. Your team has about as much a chance at making the playoffs over the next few years as we do.

Hell, we had two of them on here yesterday- AFTER Angelos supposedly renegged- saying the deal was done. I don't think anybody's intentionally lying but I think people are misinformed and that other posters extrapolate way too much from some of the "insider's" information.

I just don't understand it. Time and time again, people have jumped to false conclusions based on what the insiders have said. Then they look like fools, but apparently not enough to keep them from doing it some more.

Bottom line is, no one knows what the heck is going on. I'm not at all suprised Peace's source heard Angelos nixed the deal, because THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE ASSUMES!! Sorry, but I seriously doubt that Peace's source heard first hand that a deal was in place and everything was ready to go, but PA nixed it.

Maybe PA really did nix it, it wouldn't surprise me at all. But it's not a fact that he did it.

No offense meant to our insiders, BTW. I love the info you all provide.

The only thing I can say is that Belkast said he still feels a deal will happen.

Of course, that may have changed in the last hour, but he said it when all this stuff started coming out.

Fellow O's lovers,

Use some of your boundless energy to start a fan boycott of the team as long as Angelos remains the owner.

It is the only solution.

One broken hearted O's fan,

Really? You mean one rumor - as likely to be right as the rumors we've gone ape#$%^ over for two months. How many of those panned out?

How good has the rumor mill been this summer?

How sure can you be that this is correct?

If history accounts for anything around here, it's two things:

1. The O's have an uncanny knack for fouling things up.

2. We shouldn't be "sure" of any rumor until it's finished, signed-off on, and announced.

It's fine to expect the worst due to #1. But it's also important to keep in mind #2.


And the Wieters debacle.

I wonder if Wieters reads OH, follows all the rumors, and thinks to himself, "why did I sign with the O's?"

[SHAWN555]

His sons will move the team to Indianapolis!

Okay only if Tampa is relocated here.

I like this forum. Reminds me a lot of M's forums. We both hate our team's FO and we threaten to never buy a ticket again. Sounds just like a lot of M's forums/blogs when it was reported Bedard was traded to Seattle.

This is actually one of the best team message boards I've come across for any sport. Goodp place here.

[JCK]

Can't really believe this until I read a published report on it. If this were true, MacPhail would be resigning as we speak, and Angelos would be even further crucified by the national media. He can't afford those things to happen.

[Sunner]

Hurry everyone off to bed and lets see if the sun comes up tomorrow.

The only thing I can say is that Belkast said he still feels a deal will happen.

SO WHAT!! Who gives a damn what these guys think anymore? If Angelos kills the deals who gives a damn how many text message these guys get.

Stop already

[Jagwar]

I feel so much like this guy...

[bummer]

You really have no reason to gloat, troll. Your team has about as much a chance at making the playoffs over the next few years as we do.

Which is why I don't want the trade to go down. Bedard won't put the M's over the top. Great pitcher(when he pitches), but he isn't the final piece to even winning the AL West.

[millartime15]

im down with a protest on opening day that would send a bigger message then some game 100 games into the season

Agreed, it would send a bigger message if it was opening day

but then again why would Angelos care?

[OriolesOreos]

Where did Belkast comment recently?
