Seems like with Duke things are close to the vest until right before they pop. Gives me at least a little hope that he's talking to some interesting players.

I think he really tried to make the Tiger and Dodgers things work. But he is playing poker. And he folds a losing hand. Really smart dude.

Remember he called early on not only that JJ would be traded but also that the O's will sign Mujica. If he is right I will a) feel good about DD's strategy this offseason and b) have some regard for MikeyIce's information, even if he is a 20 yr old in WV.

I have a quarter in either my right or my left hand. Which?

I think it's on the local media here it's not really good. When was the last time they broke news? It seems all them piggy back of the Big time reporters.

That's true, he did call Mujica. That will be an interesting test.

Seriously. That is an option. And maybe a good one. But it is not done. And might not get done. He certainly did not KNOW that he would be signed. He might be. The Orioles might have three gold glovers.

Dan Connolly and Britt often know things. And are asked to wait. And then it gets broken elsewhere. Guessing is not reporting.

I just don't get how they didn't have the Jones deal first.

Mikeyice repeated what Bowden said in a national article in one the threads and didnt bother citing it. I called him on it and at that point he lost all credibility for me.

I don't care if its Bowden or anyone else, you don't pass of other peoples ideas as your own.

I almost got banned calling him out.

Would we get both Mujica and Axford or one or the other? Getting both might be an upgrade over JJ. Depth is always good because people can be ineffective as we know:)

No you did not. You were asked to behave. I even posted my "insider warning" post at that point. There is a difference and you were certainly vindicated. But you still have made us promises. I think we have lived up to our end of the bargain.

Sorry letting Johnson walk at 10.8m then signing a guy for 6 or 7m to replace him. How is that a upgrade?

      They're 2-5 against teams over .500. I find that hard to believe but that's what the MLB.com says. They've also allowed the least amount of runs in all of MLB at 52. That's kind of nuts. Gonna be a tough weekend but our boys are different these days. They didn't see much of Colton Fred Cowser Lynn in the first series, either.

      You have to respect that they made an effort in free agency. Signing Lugo and Wacha, Will Smith, Renfroe. Their pitching additions would fit in well on this team right now. Should be a good series.

      The Orioles are in sweet and tangy bbq land to play the Fightin' Bob Hamelins for a three game set starting tonight. Fri:  7:40 EST start:  Dean Kremer vs. Alec Marsh Sat:  7:10 EST start:  Corbin Burnes vs. Cole Ragans Sun:  2:10 EST start:  Cole Irvin vs. Seth Lugo KC enters the series 1 game back of the Cleveland Thomes and they're 7-3 over their last 10.  Despite their recent history of ineptitude, they look to be improved this year in the poverty stricken AL Central and they can still give us a hard time.  Lefty Ragans is off to a good start which means we'll be down Ryan O'Hearn for Austin Hays as is Sunday starter Lugo. Bobby Witt 2.0 has an OPS of .997 and already at 1.6 WAR, Old Man Perez is at .943 and Vinnie Boom Bats is .853.

      This would be fine by me.I know some people said they don't want a bigger scoreboard  Also Nationals Park is upgrading the speaker system but didn't finish the whole upgrade for this  season.         The offseason upgrades (off-the-field variety) that could have the biggest effect on fan experience are to the scoreboard displays in the ballpark. The Nationals replaced their main scoreboard, their out-of-town scoreboard in right-center field and their ribbon boards with state-of-the-art LED displays that feature much higher resolution than the previous models. The size of the main scoreboard is unchanged, but the difference in quality is noticeable, and the clearer and brighter display will feature enhanced statistics and graphics.

      Westburg exceeded rookie eligibility limits last year exceeding 130 at bats and more than 45 days on the active roster. On the plus side he might qualify as a super sophomore or at the very least avoid the sophomore slump.
