listening to station identification spots on the radio, the Orioles players always sound like they're about to fall asleep

hi scOtt

I was just saying they're the worst HOFers with 500 doubles. In other words, it's a good list. Ducky and Tony are both a helluva lot better than the real mistakes made for Cooperstown. The first really questionable enshrinee on the all time doubles list would have to be Harold Baines with 488. Unless something drastically changes, Markakis would be another mistake. -edit- forgot Heinie Manush has 491

That's interesting. I thought there would be more names on that list. Scott Rolen is probably eventually getting in based on his first year returns. Todd Helton has a good shot. I know Chris Russo keeps pounding the Jeff Kent drum. The HOFers who have 500 doubles are not mistakes either. The worst one is either Joe Medwick or Tony Perez. But Markakis doesn't measure up to any of them. Oh - John Olerud is missing, 500 on the nose.

I truly think the sons are Chris Davis-bit. Which is fine for now, but it may stay that way for a decade or more. I wonder if we're going to have Chris Davis Day like New York celebrates Bobby Bonilla Day.

Like OFFNY says especially with the new extra innings rule, having someone you can actually have confidence in bunting is a big asset. It's surprising just how many bunt attempts are unsuccessful; and that reinforces the sabermetrician edict never to bunt, because why bother if your chances aren't much better than simply getting a base hit.

Two walks? Who does he think he is, Randy Milligan??

It's 8/20 and I'm still ready for Mountcastle and Diaz.

I don't think he's part of the Orioles future anymore. #Mountcastleisabust

Just met Dave McNally. Quiet guy, didn't say much. Smells a bit. Likes to live under the ground for some reason. Has a small apartment in Montana.

Plain as day. Don't care if he's RH.

Anthony Santander is a keeper folks.
