If we end up with Ned Colletti or Omar Minaya...

THAT'S what would send you over the edge? SMH

It wouldn't send me over the edge, I'll never stop following the Orioles... but that would be just awful. It feels like the O's have made so much progress over the last three years and hiring Omara Minaya would be, like, ten steps backwards.

The leap from the owners box to the dugout is quite extreme.

I believe Ted Turner did it once in his early days as owner of the Braves, made himself manager for some short period of time.

And of course ****ing Irsay was on the sideline in the early 70s telling Colt coaches what plays to call.

What's wrong with Colletti? I don't know anything about him but seems to have had a good track record as assistant with the Giants and GM of the Dodgers. He would have to be a war criminal or child molester to get me to stop rooting for the O's.

Or a WAR criminal?

It would be fun to see PA in uniform. He could have Eddie Gaedel's old number: 1/8.

There is no chance that you will need to. In either case, they would just be there to handle the stuff while Brady gets up to speed.

Is that supposed to make anyone feel better?

I think it would be fun to see PA try to leap from the owners box to the dugout. :mwahaha:

He's not Dan Akroyd... I mean Ray Zalinsky... I mean Dan Duquette.

Seconded. Why should we have any faith in Brady's ability to be a good GM?

[El Gordo]

Buck the man so it realy doesn't matter who they get. Either Minaya or Ned would be coming here with that understanding. I'd prefer Colleti but Buck may prefer Omar.

[Tx Oriole]

...I will probably start following another team. And that's almost not a joke.

And I've been following the Orioles my whole life. They're the only sports team I've ever rooted for.

At the very least, the day I read that headline would be the single most negative day of my life as a sports fan.

I sure wish we could put this to bed. I don't see DD leaving. ST starts in a month and a half. That would put the O's in a bad way. IMO

[Slappy]

Colletti is a respectable replacement. But I hope this all ends with DD staying.

If it isn't resolved by then, it will become an extreme distraction.

[byrdz]

Maybe the writers are just putting these names out there just to point out how truly bad the options are if we lose DD. Making it abundantly clear that we are in for more patented downward spirals shall we go down that path. I like to think that's their master plan anyway.
