  1. I understand your take, it just didn't bother me all that much. I care about the on field product, not who's calling the game, and I didn't learn anything new that I didn't already know about our ridiculous owners. Truth be told, I miss Gary Thorne.
  2. What exactly does this mean? Who are the losers? We all know the Angelos' are ridiculous petty owners, so no news there. If you're saying the fans are losers because we couldn't listen to an announcer for two weeks, I guess we'll just agree to disagree. The Angelos' suck as owners. That has been confirmed in the past two weeks. I see nothing else that has come from this that makes ANYONE a winner or loser.
  3. OMG. Seriously? This worked so well from 97 to 2012. All your protests will do is give Angelos an excuse for why he moves to Nashville. "The fans stopped supporting us." "We are a first place team with only middle of the pack attendance." "They booed us when I suspended the broadcaster." "It's the fans fault we moved. Look in the mirror Baltimore."
  4. Good points, but I'll simply counter with this...Elias is going where the money is, regardless of which broadcaster the owner suspends in the booth. My opinion...the team couldn't care less who's in the booth.
  5. I'm gonna go the back in my day route, but in this case its kinda true. For 20 years I was a very active member on here, and all we had were losing teams. So naturally the conversations were geared towards negativity, complaining, and Angelos bashing. Not that there is anything wrong with any of that, but I guess now that I'm older and we have an actual winning team to discuss, my concerns are more geared towards the on field product and not what the terrible ownership group is doing behind the scenes. Its just not worth my energy to wonder why John Angelos would give any feeling whatsoever to what Brown said, much less suspend him for it. But hey, to each their own. I'm just tired of hearing about it and seeing every "news" story in my feed being a different complaint about the same thing.
  6. This topic clearly has some people hot under the collar, and I am a fan of Kevin Brown's work, but....isn't this the type of drama that we would use when we were 30 games out of the pennant race in August back in the day, just to keep things interesting? This is not a major issue in the grand scheme of things, and certainly isn't in any way keeping me from enjoying our team. On my FB feed its post after post from Hangout members saying we should boycott and start chants and on and on. For what purpose? Do you think Angelos cares? Nope. Do you think anything would change? Nope. Could it possibly be a distraction for our team wondering why people are cheering against their boss rather than FOR them? Yup. My two cents...let it go and root on the Birds.
  7. Not so sure about GOAT but definitely feel like one of the Old Timers. lol
  8. The "insider" stuff was always wild, but nothing could trump all the Tex stuff. The board was going wild during that time.
  9. I still blame my wife who texted us that the rain was supposed to last all night.
  10. OMG, if I live to be 100, on my birthday I'm gonna get a card at the Old Age home that says, "I can't believe you left!" lol
  11. Different strokes for different folks, but I hated this rule and hope it stays on the playground. If this is still being bantered, then I'd bet the 7 inning double headers are as well, and those I really hated.
  12. Our Opening Day tickets are valid for whenever "Opening Day" ends up being. They emailed us after the first cancellation, but I've yet to hear anything since the second one and the deal.
  13. Its looking more and more likely that I can keep my vacation day that I was going to schedule for March 31.
