    Cody ransoms always been a pretty good minor league hitter, primarily because thats where he's mostly played...

    Let's please not let this thread die.

    God knows there should be more than enough Palmerisms.

    He's kind of a polarizing guy, but lord I love Palmer. He's pure comedy.

    Opening Day when Johnson bounced one, Palmer said of Zaun:

    In regards to the new photo collectibles on orioles.com (Thorne says he'll make one for Palmer):

    I'm not sure why they haven't offered him enough money to be the color guy for all 162 games. I figure he's making $300,000 as it is, what's another $100,000?

    Love Palmer quotes. This thread will never die. Even when Buck takes over for a week while Jim gets some R&R, the thread will come back.

    I don't think he want to go on the road... he does very few.

    I guess he's so entertaining that it seems like he does a lot more. I would guess that he does at least half of the games (the last few years), but maybe I'm wrong.

    Palmer is great. He had one in the top of the 8th inning I forget what he said but it had my roomie laughing. I don't see how anyone could not like Palmer. Greatest O's pitcher in our history, yeah he's a little egotistical but to rephrase what Stan Musial said when he was asked why he was always smiling, you would be happy too if you had 268 wins. Musial said the same but with a 331 BA.

    My favorite Palmer quote of all time was two or three years ago. There was some pitcher who was just sucking (I don't think it was an O) and Palmer says (I'm paraphrasing):

    You know, he needs to get the ball in the strike zone but not right in the middle of the plate. When I was pitching I was effective because I was just wild enough that I kept hitters off balance. But, you know, that's why I'm in the hall of fame and this guy is struggling just to be a middle reliever.
    Still cracks me up when I think about it.
