    O's Fans Held Hostage - Day 26

    Spoke with my guy this evening. He said the warehouse is a cluster. No one has any idea of what's happening or what direction we're headed. He knows AM has over played his hand in a couple instances this season by low balling players we wanted in both years and dollars. He thinks AM will make a panic moves in the next week or so. By the way ticket orders are estimated to be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down.

    He thinks we'll have a pitcher signed by the end of the week.

    Have the terrorists made any demands? Can we exchange a few hostages for pizza or sandwiches? Who are we talking to in there?

    I hope the FBI doesn't cut power to the building. That's exactly what they want so they can get into the vault!

    It's worse... We're being locked in a room and forced to watch MASN Classic Games from when the Orioles were actually good!!!

    Those terrorists didn't count on John McClane.

    Time for a hunger strike, maybe (for those of you in captivity)

    As for me, I'm just giving thanks that I freed my mind a long time ago so that my (rhymes with glass - the mods are already vexed) could follow.

    Good's a relative term isn't it? We were 76-85 in 1990.

    The decline in ticket sales may explain to some extent the lowballing of the free agents. Any guess as to who the pitcher is and who we might be making a "panic" move on?

    Was wondering the same thing - does this correspond with Roch's comments on the Japanese pitchers?

    That pitcher better not be Jon Garland. Sheets would be the only guy that would make a difference in the franchise state, let's hope its him.

    Any chance we can get MASN to replay the 1997 or 1998 season for us this upcoming season?
