Per some "luminaries" like Jen Royle (*snickers*) and some other analysts she linked to in her tweets, it was unprofessional for a last place team to act the way we did are our come from behind victory last night.

What say you?

I'm hoping (and expecting) this to be one of your more lopsided polls Lex!

This is a serious question? :rofl: Was it wrong for me to have an extra bourbon?

I think the celebration sucked.

They should have ran on the field with beer and champagne. They should have brought Bucky Dent on the field and honored them.

They should have told Albers and Papi(2 players that taunted them a few months back), to go F themselves, over the loud speaker.

They should have ran on the field and mooned all the Boston fans.

They should have played the Mike and Mike parody song to Sweet Caroline(if you havent heard it, its pretty funny), over the loud speaker in between every inning.

I have supported Ms Royle throughout her tenure here in Baltimore, but if she seriously questioned this, she can kiss my ....

The ESPN announcers made several comments about our celebration such as "they're acting like they just made the playoffs" but they also made their bias obvious in other ways. They seem to care more about their personal desires than they do about maintaining separation and, thus, credibility.

I thought it was appropriate given our rivalry. We played the game as if it was a playoff game and we had every right to celebrate such a dramatic and hard fought victory.

Absolutely not. In the end the Sox and the O's are going to the same place right now (to play golf) but at least the O's get a higher draft pick in the draft to show for it. I don't care if you are the worst team in baseball or the first team out of the playoffs in game 162, you are both playing for the same thing in October, absolutely nothing.

      I think Urias fits perfectly on next years team.    A decision has to be made on Ortiz or Westburg, unless they just don’t carry much value around the league, which is unlikely. Urias is a perfect back up IFer.

      I used the only information that’s available. If I did anything else it would no doubt be treated with accusations that I wouldn’t want to deal with. I did read an article that says the Wonderlic was replaced by it in 2022. There is no saying whether he took it or scored. BTW, Bryce Young scored 98% according to reports. While I like the Bama guy I think his height and light build are against him no matter how smart he is.

      Just chipping in here on Urias... his power outage combined with defensive lapses of late (not to mention younger competition in house) have me ready to move on after this season. Potential payoff heroics might even sweeten the trade value instead of appetite to retain him.

      It was huge. I wasn't old enough to read it until about the 1980 version, but I'd check it out from the library every few weeks and probably read it cover to cover multiple times. It was there that I found things like Willie Keeler's .432 average in 1897, for the National League Baltimore Orioles, of all things. I think many people don't realize that before the McMillan Encyclopedia there was no single comprehensive source for this information. In many cases no source at all. You mention the Whos Whos in Baseball publications, but they only had active players. And I'm not sure how accurate they were, or how comprehensive. If you wanted to see who won the American League in 1907... I don't know. Or who won the 1922 batting title if you didn't have a stack of old Sporting News or Spalding Guides. There were some earlier books, like one called Daguerreotypes, but they were not well known or widely available or probably very accurate. I think it's true that when Ty Cobb retired he probably didn't know how many hits he actually had. When Babe Ruth started hitting homers some writer had to go dig around old guides and total stuff up to see if he was getting near some career record. The main reason a lot of HOF selections from before the 1970s were a little wacky was that the voters mostly were relying on 20 or 50 year old memories because they didn't have a reference. "Oh yea, I remember Bobby Wallace, the greatest shortstop... or was it third baseman... in the 1890s or something." That and the fantastically screwed up voting systems. The Encyclopedia was the beginning of the end of people who'd tell these long-winded stories of great feats of baseball from decades ago that were mostly not true. End of the Cliff Clavin era.

      I’d say Tampa.    I don’t want to see Arozarena in a playoff series. Ever. He kills us and I’m sure he’d go off on a big stage.  Their pitching is really good.
