  1. Mike Yastrzemski seemed to hit a wall, both offensively and defensively, at Bowie. It happens to a lot of young players. The good ones figure out a way to break through and move on. I like this kid because he is definitely talented and motivated. I think he figures it out and will be in Norfolk by mid-season next year. I wonder if the Orioles will assign him to play in the Arizona Fall League?
  2. All I know is that since coming to the Orioles, Parra has morphed from solid a .328/.369 /.886 baseball player to a .214/.283/.616 wimp.
  3. Toronto lost Boston lost Tampa lost And the Orioles can't pull away in the AL East because the freakin' Yankees keep winning!! What's up with that? They were supposed to be old, depleted, and not have any pitching. Obviously, someone lied!!
  4. Yeah.....Brian Roberts screwed up a perfectly good night - the O's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay - by hitting that solo HR in top of the 9th to give the Yankees a 4-3 over the Angels. Now we are back in a virtual tie for 1st place. SUCKS!!
  5. Well then, we are 1/6th of the way there!
  6. Or maybe just out of the Orioles organization. Good pitching really hasn't been a strong point for the Orioles in many years.
  7. <p><p><p>I just worked as a writer for Kaleidoscope magazine. It was a publication of the United Methodist Church. I spent the first 10 years of my life absorbing hell, fire, and brimstone sermons delivered by a Johnny Cash “Man-in-Black” imposter, a preacher named Kermit Blevins, at the Free Will Baptist Church in Piney Creek, NC. When my parents came north, we somehow settled in the old First Presbyterian Church in Ellicott City. In college, I tried a few other churches, and again after I got out of the army, but like you, I finally realized it wasn’t organized religion that I was seeking. I found Jesus, or he found me, and we’ve been cool ever since.</p></p></p>

  8. We still have .... .....4 games against the Rays .....7 games against the Yankees .....9 games against the Red Sox I think its a largely a matter of the Orioles holding their playoff fate in their own hands.
  9. <p><p><p>Matt "Nuke LaLoosh" Hobgood gets a neg rep..........seriously?</p></p></p>

  10. I officially became an Orioles fan on Nov 17, 1953, when it was announced that the St. Louis Browns were now the Baltimore Orioles. I had been to a few International League Oriole's games, but until that day, I would go down to old Griffith Park, in DC, and root for the Senators.
  11. <p><p><p>Thank you!.....I'm honored.</p></p></p>

  12. <p><p><p>I checked you out because I strongly agreed with one of your posts in the Stats Are For Dorks thread. After seeing this picture, I not so sure anymore....;-)</p></p></p>

  13. <p><p><p>Hey B-hon! Congrats!!....You got your first greenie....very cool. And thanks for remembering......also very cool. Ol' Hippie's remember, too.....sometimes.....so your coolness won't be forgotten.....maybe. LOL. Now.....about that Halladay trade proposal you threw out there......Yikes!!</p></p></p>

  14. <p><p><p>Just curious why I got the neg rep for my post in the "Has Anyone Fallen" thread? Since there was nothing in the least bit offensive in the post, I can only assume it was a lack of reader comprehension on your part.</p></p></p>

  15. <p><p><p>Glad you enjoyed the humor....or the attempt thereof. You're relatively new to OH....welcome!....so I'm sure the negative rep you gave me was a mistake.</p></p></p>

  16. I used to think Tom Davis was a used car salesman masquerading as a sports commentator. Remember those horrid plaid sports jackets he used to wear?
  17. <p><p><p>Sorry you didn't see the humor in my post, but obviously you know nothing of the history of Mike Flanagan's relationship with Peter Angelos.</p></p></p>

  18. <p><p><p>Thanks for the balancing rep points. I guess my attempt at humor didn't work for everyone.</p></p></p>
