    Ummm...wow?!

    Angelos, however, was reluctant to create any perception that MacPhail was not fully in control, a source said.
    But yet, it seems AM wanted this!

    So, who has control?

    Angelos didn't want him to share in any credit when the club returns to prominence? WOW! Can we believe Rosenthal?

    Let me say this:

    I understand why so many people on here think Rosenthal has a grudge against the Orioles and that's fine.

    But I'm sure Rosenthal has better things to do than to make up stuff like this. Like, I'm sure he's not just doing this for kicks.

    One of the worst things I've read about the Orioles.

    Didn't want Ripken to get credit if/when they turn it around? Not the comment I was expecting to see from someone who really wanted to turn things around.

    I am not sure if I believe it but if true and if AM was on board, then we have a a problem that was supposed to be cured back.

    True, but what about the source he got it from?

    It just seems a bit...weird. But either way, can open...worms, everywhere.

    Once this gets spread throughout the city, we will be at the bottom of the never-ending hole.

    The losing already has everyone agitated.

    This news (god help us if it's true) says this about the team:
    - Angelos does have some final say
    - He will piss off fans even further by declining an offer from the "savior of the franchise".

    I really hope this is not true. I hope MacPhail and Angelos come out tonight and says this is completely false. I don't know why, but this hurts even more than the past few losses. It just answers so many questions that we've ad about the franchise and who has ultimate power.

    A guy like Rosenthal doesn't get to the position that he's at (like it or not) by getting crap info from bad sources. Leave that to the guys like Pro Football Talk and stuff like that...those are the examples of bad sports reporting.

    Turning down Ripken as to not tarnish his image if we do not succeed is one thing....

    But if he turned down Ripken, so that he can't take credit if the team turns around is grounds for PITCH FORKS and TORCHES!

    Yep...This will be the last straw with many fans.

    Agreed. I mean, if you could think of something lower than where we're at right now, you could think of something like...Wieters breaking an arm, Nick tearing up his knee, Matusz blowing out his arm...

    But I don't think ANYONE could have thought of something like this.
