Michael Morse "almost certain" to join the Orioles (Update: Acquired for Avery))

[Dipper9]

Do you guys REALLY think that the second the deal goes through we will know about it? I mean, really?

[weams]

Was that 1:30 deadline on both? I thought we just claimed Morse yesterday?

If Seattle did not pull him back four minutes again, we got him.

Fantastic. We will be happy to have his bat at Camden yards, I truly believe that.

[Dipper9]

I'm glad we got him. Period.

Now lets see what we gave up to see if it was a good trade.

(I wonder how many people will understand this post?)

Just saw his stats for the year Hopefully he's due for a comeback. I also hope that DD didn't give up much.

[jamalshw]

Here's hoping whatever we gave up is minor.

This is your 4th post today that I would have repped, but I gotta spread the BS around first!

[DrungoHazewood]

Ahh well, we will go with who we've got I suppose.

That's hilarious. I suppose it's time to rage on about the O's PR department not actually sitting in DD's office to tweet every event without the inexcusable five minute delay.
