Keith Law is not impressed (in 2012, but he is in 2014)

Yes they are, but I still don't think they're that good, sorry. ?@lissalisa29: @keithlaw how wrong are you about them O's playoff bound?

I'll give the man credit - he refuses to back down. Never mind that the O's have won 92 games, sit tied atop the AL East, and are one game back from the best record in the American League - they're just not that good.

What a clown.

He's right about a lot of things, but he is so sour grapes about the O's it makes it really hard to like him.

I think they could win the World Series and he'd still have this same snotty attitude. Really a team you diss on all seasons makes the playoffs? I don't know how far we're going once we're there but we've had people like Law saying we're lucky and crap like that all year. Is it really so hard to say I'm wrong for some of these sportswriters?

I guess Law hasn't paid attention to the 60 runs or so the team has outscored their opponents recently.

I give him no credit at all. Quite the opposite. I can understand his preseason prediction. Hell I can understand his feeling in June that the team would fold at some point. On Sept 4th when he was babbling about how they were "lucky" he just sounded stupid. Now he sounds like a complete idiot and frankly its pretty clear the guy is an egomaniac who cannot say a few simple words like..... I WAS WRONG.

Typical behavior of an arrogant pompous egomaniac....simple as that

Sorry just annoys me..... your right though, this clown will be writing about what a tragedy it is we cant all fawn over Mike Trout or watch the brilliant David Price .... but instead have to endure the lucky Orioles. By definition if you win more than the other team you were better period the end. Potential and what could have been is only that .....

This prompted me to tweet at him. I hope he responds. I said "I think Dan Duquette must have pissed in your cereal or something. Your whole sour grapes routine about the O's is tiring."

[OsAreSick]

He did say this. "@keithlaw: .@lissalisa29 I agree. What I think shouldn't matter to a fan of the team. You should only care about wins and losses." I still personally don't agree with him; just surprised me he tweeted that.

We're on the same page here man. He's being a child about this.

Reminds me of one of the guys who is on the sports talk radio up here, who I'm pretty sure has some sort of personal grudge against Showalter. Sucks that this clown replaced an Orioles fan who used to have that timeslot.

[jonesing4pie]

I would love for him to give me a list of other 90+ win teams that just weren't that good. Again as others have said I don't really care but it is quite clear he is just refusing to admit he was/is wrong.

Yeah...he's 100% right. It's his job to give his opinion. It really shouldn't matter what he thinks to us.

+62 in August/September. That's a 100+ win pace over a whole season according to Pythagoras. I don't have a Twitter, but if I did that's what I'd be telling him.

Someone did tell him. He responded that it didn't matter since they were only doing it against September call ups.
