No truth to the rumor that he's just intentionally furthering Trea's man crush.

Orioles- Yankees- 1998

Orioles-Mariners- 1993

You just had to post that video didn't you, LOL. The night Hulkamania died, until it rose again years later.

You mean this? :mwahaha:

[Fan4Life]

I envisioned parts of Orioles glorious years past with the stands full and Orioles Magic vibrating from the screen.. to show the real history of this team, not just the recent one... as well as underdog motivational type stuff.. brawls might be one idea..

That was the first thing I thought as well.

Nice work - but you're not ink-stained...:scratchchinhmm:

No, I am not. And thanks for the complement.

Wow! We haven't had a good brawl in over...

13 losing season do it to a team I guess.

Are we gonna pull a Tampa vs. MFY like fight in ST? Who will be our Jonny Gomes?

I love that he showed them those brawls. It's about time the Orioles don't let the Yankees and Red Sox treat them like a doormat and that they stick up for one another.

The Rays had brawls in 2008 in ST that set the tone for them early and gave the whole team a chip on their shoulders, so they can be used as a uniter.

This team could stand to have a little bit of "John McGraw" type baseball injected into it.

The Rays also had brawls before then.

Brawls != winning.

Yeah, but to be fair, throwing a hard projectile into someone's skull completely uncalled-for is the sign of a real man.

By the way, that 1998 brawl against the Yankees did a damn lot of good, didn't it? Leading into 13 losing seasons and a 71-138 record against the Yankees, a .340 winning percentage.

Alan Mills knocked Darryl Strawberry out on his arse in the dugout. Totally worth it.:thumbsup1:

Not sure who you are slamming here, those who think using brawls is cool idea for motivation or Buck for using it in the first place.

It can also get you traded for Kris Benson.
