Naming a child after an Oriole

I was named (my middle name) after the person that introduced my parents because he died in his 20's.

Personally...I hope I can give my children names as meaningful as the one given to me, and I don't think naming them after my favorite sports players will give them that.

Who knows, though...that's just me.

I tried. I have a fifteen month old son. I was pushing for Calvin. My wife is a diehard Cleveland sports fan, so I was trying to negotiate with Calvin LeBron. She didn't go for it and for her sake it is good that we didn't use LeBron as a middle name!

That's a shame. Imagine all the catchphrases he would miss out. For example, after kindergarten, he could "take his talents to first grade".

Wife did not like Calvin so we compromised on Caleb. I was hoping it would shorten to Cal but instead he is still Caleb. Or someimes when I'm drinking its Lebby. Or if Im really drunk after a brutal O's loss its " damn it get in here and clean this mess!!!!

Yes, my children sometimes feel my wrath after an O's loss..............don't you feel guilty Angelos?

What was funny for me is as I said I had a dog growing up named Brady and my youngest brother's name is Tom. So, we had Tom and Brady. Irony of course is that Tom Brady is right up there with "insert your least favorite Yankee here's name" in the house on the dislike scale.

    • I only watched the first two innings.  I didn’t think he’d last much longer because he looked very hittable to that point.  I really question the pitch selection to Rorthsveldt on a 1-2 pitch with a man on third and one out.  He just swung threw a up in the zone fastball, Suarez’ best pitch.  Throw another one same spot, or higher, or in, or even try to bury a changeup low.  Anything to try and get a swing and miss.  But a two seamer (that’s what they called it) down and away? Credit to Suarez for giving us 5.  I don’t really think he’s a starter but he’s getting it done.  Why can he hit 97 in the first inning but not in relief?   I guess it’s a warmup thing.  The 2023-24 Orioles are very good at “winning ugly”.   They find a way more often than not.
    • I hadn’t heard an up to date report on Gillen’s arm.  He’s two years out from that surgery so that’s certainly not good.   I like Lindsey too.  The only real drawbacks are that he’s a RH hitter and the power projection is questionable but he’s got top of the line speed. I’m really not interested in the hit first college types like Amick.   I’d like to see them go HS position player or roll the dice on a Brody Brecht/Jonathan Santucci college pitcher with big stuff and command issues.   At #22 and #32 maybe they can do both.
    • We've really needed Suarez to step up, and so far he has. He does this a couple more times, I might be a believer.
    • Been going downhill ever since Roy started calling for him in the pen. The jinx goes both ways.
    • Suarez traveled 🧳 a long road to arrive with the Orioles . I can’t help but root for him to succeed this season 
    • Before the season, I was one in trade Mateo camp . He only played SS , but with Gunnar locking up SS , I was not sure about his value anymore. But when he started playing at Second and CF , he looked like he picking up at these positions.  I think maybe he should be their utility player now. 
    • I  regret to hear news on Wells and Means setbacks.  I like Means because Orioles drafted and developed him .  He will be free agent this fall , should Orioles tender him or let him walk ? As for Wells, he has the stuff but durability is his drawback . Every season Orioles slotted him in starting rotation, then he gets put on IL this season, 2023 and 2022 seasons also .  When Wells returns next season  , they should slot him in bullpen permanently  , JMO
