"Cut the pies, Adam Jones" "Letter to the Editor" in Baltimore Sun of Saturday 8/2/2014

[Specman]

Boy, do I agree with today's letter to the editor, David Knowles of Severna Park. I have been on this bandwagon for months and I too am sick of seeing Adam Jones pieing an Oriole who is being interviewed post game.

To quote from his letter "....Adam Jones finds it necessary to steal their moment in the spotlight by throwing a pie in their face....He is making it about himself....it is a childish prank that was amusing the first few times..."

Congratulations to Mr. Knowles for telling it like it is even though it is sacrilege and absolutely not permitted to ever criticize Adam Jones in this town.

Nothing destroys an already weak argument more then hyperbole.

Op-ed or Letter to the editor? Which is it? They are not the same thing.

Nice Post Mr. Knowles of Severna Park.

Either way it isn't thread worthy.

You know all those stories we hear about how the Orioles clubhouse is one of the best, most relaxed places in baseball. how everyone seems to get a long and genuinely likes one another.

Did anyone stop to think that this is part of that.

And anyone who thinks Adam Jones has not been criticized in this town well is just not paying attention.

Why do you think it is "sacrilege" to criticize Jones?

Overall the pies are an enjoyable thing, I think for most. They are starting to become a bit too common place though. As long as it stays to exceptional moments or occasions, I'm all for it. Love that it is real pies now too, and not shaving cream towels.

If I was a player I'd be pretty happy if I got pied in the face every single home game.

I'm pretty sure the players realize what the symbolism behind the pie is.

Either way it isn't thread worthy.

Makes me wonder if David Knowles of Severna Park and Specman have ever been seen together.

Massive judgement based on location comment:

Wow, someone from Severna Park is a little uptight - I could never have foreseen this. Nope, not at all.

ahem...

Agree so much with the bolded part you said.

From his thoughts on fans on the field, bubble gum chewing, swinging out his <you know what> (his words), etc ... etc... Jones is plenty criticized

I like the pies. It's fun.

[mdbdotcom]

Chris Dickerson definitely did not like it. He stopped hitting after being pied. No big loss.

Damnit Weams, this is baseball - it is serious business. There is no fun allowed. I don't CARE THAT YOU ARE ONLY 12 BILLY NOW YOU TURN THAT DOUBLE PLAY OR SO HELP ME GOD I AM PUTTING YOUR DOG TO SLEEP!
