"Celebrating" an AL East Title

Enjoying the O's game and how about Ubaldo!

Thanks for the replies whether you agreed with me or not. My first O's game was in 1975 so I'm a little older than some, not all. Tomorrow morning in Dundalk I play in the Eastern Baltimore County Over 40 league and in an Oriole uniform. :thumbsup1:

Admittedly I did think that keeping the division champion logo on the outfield wall was a bit much, but considering all the hell we had to go through as fans for 14 years, I'll take commemorating anything significant and enjoying it as long as it lasts even if they don't make the playoffs this year. It should be expected they were going to recognize it, it was going to get a banner on Eutaw Street, even the Wild Card teams have gotten banners.

Life is short. Celebrate every moment you can. Live it up!

I wonder if they will take the logo off the fence after the first homestand?

I actually really like this "over-celebrating." Surround ourselves with positive thoughts - these guys are champs of a very tough division. I think Buck has something to do with this. I also think they'll take party favors down sooner rather than later. If not, I might say that's a little like living in the past. Time to go get another one! I think they have a puncher's chance.

I bet the OP is the type of person who does not shed a tear when the sarah mclachlan SPCA commercial comes on.

I usually mute the sound. Curmudgeons have lives too bro. But, the fact that you dissed me made me cry! :P

That - I love Buck and his street-smart patois makes me cry. However, while homeless and battered puppies don't necessarily bring a tear (I do dog sit for months at a time but don't want one), I love this battered product management puts on the field.

    • I know this isn’t the question that you asked, but my recollection is that you worked on the business side for the Orioles at some point, so I think you might be able to weigh in on this idea: do you think there are business reasons to extend a Gunnar or an Adley? I know you’re view is generally that extensions are overrated by the fanbase, but that largely seems related to the idea that you are paying for past-peak years (if I’m off base here, it wasn’t intentional—just my recollection). I tend to think that from a business standpoint, an extension for a young player would not make a material difference concerning the amount of tickets sold, revenue generated, etc. and would really just make some people on X happy, but I don’t really have anything to support that opinion.
    • The way he is pitching that's like throwing gas on a fire.
    • I don't think Elias will seriously entertain bringing back Santander.
    • Left the game with 1 run in and 2 on ,2 outs in the 6th and Akin gave up both runs. Bad luck tonight in my opinion but I'm sure there are many on here will say he sucks and should be replaced. 
    • Yeah, we're kind of getting off track here since this is a Jackson Holliday thread, but I will say I don't see how Mountcastle gets traded -- and even if he did it would be to unblock Mayo and not Kjerstad.  Both Mounty and Mayo are righties, and it doesn't look like Mayo will play third base anytime soon.  I think two of the prospects need to get traded -- maybe in the offseason or next season -- unless Hays, O'Hearn or Mounty are dealt.  I think there's a chance the O's bring back Santander, but that's a big wildcard too.
    • I was in favor of trading one of Mountcastle/Hays/Santander after last year to make room for prospects like Kjerstad. I see the main issue with trading one of the above or O'Hearn is those players will deliver more value in an Orioles uniform over the return in any trade. I'm leaning towards Elias taking a calculated risk and creating at bats for Kjerstad.
