At the end of the day, the other thread got deleted, this thread got opened, and the O's won 2 straight games.

COINCIDENCE? ;)

Well. It appears I have saved the Orioles' season.

I'm sure you all would like to express your gratitude to me. In lieu of thank you cards, please send cash.

I told you guys a week ago that the Orioles would win this division. That's still true. I got ripped and negative repped out the wazoo. And why? Because some of you are so simple-minded in believing in such things as "baseball gods". News flash.....there's no such thing. There just isn't.

The reason the Orioles sucked for 14 years is that they weren't very good. It had nothing to do with an internet thread. Neither does the fact that they will win their division this year. They will win because they are a good team.....better than the other teams in their division. It's not up to the "gods of baseball". What a bunch of crap!

So go ahead, rip a lifelong Orioles lover with your garbage about some sort of a curse related to being confident about your own team. I guess a "real fan" simply does the losers limp and blames some unnamed "god" when things don't go right.

And for the record....don't get your panties all in a twist if I suggest the Orioles might not have the best fans in baseball. Way to rip a true Orioles fan. Really. Good job. I'm embarrassed by you. Your belief in things unseen and your willingness to ignore actual results in favor of shredding a fellow Orioles fan are eye-opening. Now I know what I'm dealing with. Thank you.

I don't believe I posted at all in your other thread. And this thread is just completely unnecessary. You can have confidence in the team, but confidence and gloating over as-yet-unearned milestones are two different things.

All threads here are completely unnecessary....to be honest about it. And you are one of the sheep unwilling to say the O's will win this division? No faith. Sad. Balls-up people! Stop doing the Losers Limp!

I participated in that thread because it was bad on many levels. Other than predicting that a team with a 9 game division lead would win the division, your post offered nothing of substance. And taking a "victory lap" before you actually win anything is poor sportsmanship and a character fail. Your post was just a bunch of self-centered fluff……much like this thread. That never goes over well. And neither does calling other posters losers for that matter.

Dude, your thread caused a 3 game sweep by the Cubs! Thankfully the jinx was cancelled. Why don't you wait until one of our pitchers has a no hitter after 7 and come on and start a thread about he he's going to throw a no hitter. There are some things you just don't do. You did one of them.

Do you really think my thread caused a 3-game losing streak? How dumb! That's the height of stupidity. Think about that for a minute.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      2024 NFL Draft Discussion

      By Hallas · Posted

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.

      I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.

      My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
