Oops. Sorry. Mmm, more poop sandwiches please. Mmm--mmm--MMM!

Just proving a point.

A walk-off win by a winning team in a pennant race is a reason to get excited. It's an accomplishment in a season that actually means something.

A walk-off win by the worst team in the AL? What have you accomplished exactly?

I kinda side with NMS on this one. But its the culture of todays athletes.

In the NFL guys do it after making a tackle and RB's after picking up 4 yards.

I prefer the old school guys like Barry Sanders. Act like you've been there before.

Walk-offs are, by definition, plays that end the game in a win though, which makes them different than just making a tackle or picking up 4 yards. It would be like an infielder dancing after a routine ground ball out.

Agreed.

So is anyone going to the ticker-tape parade today to celebrate last night's win?

How exactly did they act like this was game 7 of the WS? The guy hit a homerun to win the game. They were happy they won, I dont think they are popping corks in the clubhouse.

This thread is unreal.

This.

I may not agree with what you have to say NMS but I'll defend to the death you're right to say it....but I'm just gonna go ahead and kill myself if this continues on any longer.

      Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed.

      Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.

      Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.

      People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor.

      Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
