I found these comments from Sherril pretty disparaging...

Sherrill, one of the Mariners' top relievers last season when he posted a 2-0 record and 2.36 ERA in 73 appearances, said Sunday night from his Salt Lake City home that he's not aware of any deal that includes him.

"I have not heard a thing," he said, "but am preparing myself for the worst."

Preparing himself for the worst, huh?

Dude, you totally forgot the last part...

"I have not heard a thing," he said, "but am preparing myself for the worst [team in the AL East]."

I've also read that Sherrill has a tremendous amount of loyalty to the Mariners for plucking him out of the independent leagues. I wouldn't think that is a slam against the Orioles, though he will be leaving a contender for a team that is not in a position to win.

The guy loves Seattle, can you blame him. Just remember Patton's comments. It's just a shock for him that's all...

There were other comments from Sherrill in the initial blog entry that started all this about how he wanted to be a Mariner for life because they were the organization that plucked him out of the independent leagues. That brief comment may be out of context. It'll take more than that for me to decide to hate the guy, and it doesn't take that much for me. ;)

Hope he doesn't have a gun. ;)

Maybe it was a droped called between the GM's so deal is not complete yet? DAMN DROP CALLS

Yeah, now there's a funny commercial for verizon- or whatever carrier does those DROPPED CALL COMMERCIALS

INT BAVASI'S OFFICE - MID AFTERNOON

Bill Bavasi picks up the phone and hits redial.

A voice on the other end picks up.

INT MACPHAIL'S OFFICE - MID AFTERNOON

Andy MacPhail

That you Bill? You decide on my offer yet?

Bill Bavasi

You got me by the balls Andy, you know I

need an ace.

Andy MacPhail

Good, so AJ, Sherrill, Triunfel, and Tillman...

Bill Bavasi

I'll agree to Sherrill and Tillman...

Suddenly the call drops, and all MacPhail hears is silence. He looks at the phone as if it's a joke.

Bill Bavasi is still naming players, in silence- as they fall on deaf ears.

Andy MacPhail

Yeah, I'm still listening Bill, who else? AJ,

Triunfel and who?

With no answer, Maphail slams the phone is disgust, then picks it up again, hitting the speed dial for the Anaheim Angels.

INT ANAHEIM ANGELS FRONT OFFICE

An arm outfitted in Angels gear picks the phone up, saying "hello.".

Andy Macphail

You were right Tony, bavasi is a real

douchebag. Now who you offering for Bedard

again?

Don't let a dropped call ruin a great deal for your struggling franchise. Switch to Singular and get the best nationwide coverage available.

CUT TO

INT BILL BAVASI'S OFFICE

Bill Bavasi

Andy, you still there? Come on

that's a great deal! Everybody hates

me!!

THE END

      Felix Bautista 2024 (Monitoring his injury rehab)

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      I would agree.  Not sure if he can pitch this season or not (probably not), but the way they do that surgery now along with the healing powers of platelet injections?    A pitcher can be back throwing and almost 100% within 8 months.  I have the exact same injury as Felix along with a bone chip in my right elbow and I was told if I have the surgery I will feel basically brand new after 6-8 months.   Granted I am not trying to throw 95 MPH 8 months later.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Ding ding ding. It’s the crab pot mentality. Most will drag you back to the bottom rather than allow others to climb out to freedom. It’s the old misery loves company.   Sadly for my Orioles fans, they have used this misery as a warm blanket and have even rationalized their sorrow by way of linking up with other sorrowful fans. It’s a sort of companionship in misery. Suddenly the orioles start to do well, as if this wasn’t the plan by Elias all along, and many orioles fans are still clinging to their long held beliefs that the shoe will drop, that the end is nigh, and that success will all come crashing down.   After all, failure is what they have grown accustomed to, it’s all they know, their world is an abject failure, so when the team they love suddenly starts doing well…they have no idea what to do. They lash out. They find fault where there is none, and their extreme uncomfort becomes full display to all those who might say “yeah but we’re good now, things are good now” but that simply can not be so. There must be something wrong. The shoe will drop. The loss will happen. My life is not fulfilled without the thumping of the chest from the loser Oriole who proclaims to his tribe, “see, I told you so!” sad sacks of shit, the lot of them!

      Ohtani's Interpreter Accused of Theft, Fired.

      By FlaO'sFan · Posted

      Another MLB player, once a teammate and friend of Ohtani, maybe tied to gambling. I didn't bother to try to understand the exact timeline or tie to Ohtani, which seems to be just as friends, but here it is for anyone interested. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40166891/angels-david-fletcher-bet-bookie

      Not for someone who has money riding on him winning the award.

      Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?
