    What I can't get behind is:

    1. There was (and always has been) a no politics rule.

    2. The site gets temporarily shuttered because of the politics of the owner of the site.

    3. The owner then posts a highly political screed on the front page of the website upon reinstating it.

    4. The site is back, but "for reals" no politics now.

    I realize the O's did something he didn't like. I also recognize that Tony has every right to shut down this site whenever he wants to -- he's under no obligation to keep it running. 

    But it's like he has to have the last say, and then there's no politics. That's such a hypocritical and selfish way to behave, and when you combine that with the content of his politics (which I would have been fine to not know, but now I can't help but think of them when I think of OH), I can't stomach being here anymore.

    So, I won't be back. I don't think anyone has a way to contact me other than the site, and I guess that's just Too Bad. I'll miss those of you who taught me about the game of baseball and how to be a fan for a mid-market team. 

    Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish. If you, like me, found Tony's posts announcing the suspension and reopening of the site to be offensive, I hope you either follow me out, or can live with yourself as you remain.

    Preach. I've been toying with posting something similar but you hit the nail on the head. I couldn't agree more. 

    I realize we are currently living in a highly politicized environment but I simply cannot patronize a site after reading that editorial. I vehemently disagree with it, and while some may view it as a small or insignificant action to leave the site, I am trying to do whatever I can to support progressive views currently. I want to be on the correct side of history. 

    I will no longer be posting or visiting. Assuming I will get banned so it's been fun all.

    Not saying this to criticize or pile on, but does it seem like Davis gets sick a lot more than other players?  I know he has young kids, maybe he needs to get better at avoiding their germs during the season.?  I know I hardly ever got sick until I had kids...now I get sick from them all the time...

    I was thinking the same thing. I remember quite a few Roch Twitter posts over the years that Davis was sick and couldn't play. I don't remember seeing nearly as many for any other player.

    I’d never heard of her. So I did go to her Twitter feed. A bit of a show off, isn’t she? 

     

    I do take that back. Was she the one who was an O’s beat reporter for awhile but admitted she was a Yankee fan?

    If by beat reporter you mean adult film star then yes.

    Hope someone is standing by to re-position those bats. After a great 7-0 start they have only won 4 of their last 11.

    We've also had road series against Texas, Kansas City, and a home series against Toronto. I'm not too worried.
