I understand the frustation, but honestly the Blue Jays roster is so depleted that you have to give them a ton of credit for playing as well as they did. They played the O's tough and they played the Yankees tough. It would have been great if they held on, but they've played hard to the finish.

Yes, they went 4-4 against us and MFY. Understand the frustration too because man oh man it would have been nice to both clinch this afternoon and see the O's in sole possession of first going into the final series of the year.

I'm more upset at Texas. Defending two-time AL champions, supposed to be the class of the AL, and they've been sliding for the last two weeks. You needed one more out, and couldn't get the job done. If they lose tonight, they're in trouble, both in terms of the AL West, and home field.

Rangers are down 4-0 already in the first inning. They're choking BIG TIME.

Up 5-1 on MFY at home, and can't close the deal.

You and your overrated GM can suck it, TOR.

I'll never understand relying on another team to take care of your own team's business. Were you irate when the Orioles only split with the Jays for the last 4 contests? If the O's had swept that series where would they be today?

The Blue Jays were in last place, and they just beat the Yankees 2 games out of 4. I don't call that useless, yesterday's collapse notwithstanding,

As far as the Rangers are concerned, they can stay as useless as they want. We're 1 game behind them for the best record in the American League.

We need to win our games 1 game at a time, just like we've been doing. We've had just as many chances as the Yankees have to be opportunistic in regard to our position in the standings ...... no more, no less

      Nobody put words in your mouth.  I asked you questions.  That you can't answer them should suggest to you how thought out our positions are. 1) The goal is the World Series.  What makes you think it isn't? 2)  That's the most generic statement possible that is impossible to analyze, 3) So Elfin, Burnes, Bradish, Cano, etc.  don't count because you don't want them to count.  But other than that, he's got a bad track record of trading..... .like what trade?  Are we all supposed to go insane and only evaluate one trade- the Rodgers trade- in the most hyperbolic terms necessary to justify our hyperbole? 4) So we judge him for hypothetical trades that we didn't make and can't even be analyzed?  LOL. Flaherty was a worthless trade?  This is the same Flaherty that started Game 1 of the World Series this year, right? Oh, so you just want to cry about Rodgers ad nauseum?  Cry ahead. So you want to fire the most successful GM we've had since Pat Gillick but you haven't even thought about who'd you replace him with?  And wouldn't even bothered until he was fired?  You understand how stupid that is, right?

      Rubenstein: Orioles will speed up the effort to get to a World Series

      I think he’s all in. That’s why I have hope that he will resign Burnes and add some veteran offensive a talent to help the team play better in October

      This is as plausible a theory as any other that has been trotted out since the end of the regular season and it's one I fully subscribe to. Personally however, I think restraint is advisable when it comes to comparing his historical business leadership to his newfound role as 75 year-old billionaire owner of a a sports franchise.  Especially given his demonstrated propensity for dancing on the home team dugout during the seventh inning stretch.

      Noted … I’d much rather have Teoscar. They would need to determine if Profar is the 2024 player or prior.

      Stop putting words in my mouth!    1) The goal needs to be the World Series 2) We need to spend wisely …but we need to spend 3) Oh Stop ….i gave him credit for Eflin and Burnes. The others were during the rebuild and selling trades. Which I said in my response to you,  4) It’s not one trade …. He’s tried to get help2 deadlines now. Beyond Eflin at two deadlines he’s done little to help the team reach the ultimate goal.    His moves in 2023 were Jack Flaherty who was basically worthless and Fuji who was so inconsistent that he’s not even pitching in the majors. Did I forget anyone? He did little to help an offense that was struggling mightily in 2024. He gave a lot away this deadline. They got Eflin but most everything else was mediocre or worse. The Rogers deal was just horrible. And why was he shopping in the bargain bin pile. Rogers was a 4.5 ERA starter before the trade which really wasn’t an upgrade and he crapped the bed after he got here.    I’m undecided over who I’d go after to replace Elias when the times comes.
