Remember that time he threw a no-hitter to win his 20th game of the season? That was awesome.

I remember the one where Sandy Alomar hit the ball JUST foul with one out in the ninth, then Moose got pissed and struck him and the last guy out.

Man, that was a great night :P

Man, do I HAVE to post the "Curse of the Moose" again...:P

EDIT: Hell, I'll just link it :D

Entertaining (and I guess since I'm still kinda new, I haven't seen it before), and I realize it was all in good fun, so consider this to be a friendly debate.

I'm not sure how it can be said that Mussina has never won a critical playoff game. As for any "penchant for failing in important games," I guess people see what they want to see. He's had more successes than failures.

Here's what I mean when I say people see what they want to see: Remember when the Yanks blew the 3-0 lead in the ALCS to the Sox? Mussina really let them down! Keeping the Sox scoreless through the first 6 innings in Game 1 while big-time gamer Schilling got shelled wasn't "critical"! Handing his bullpen a 4-2 lead in game 5 against Pedro wasn't good enough!

(Yes, you can put me in the camp of those who cheers against Mussina because I 'hate' the Yanks, but who still likes Mussina and doesn't blame him for being a Yank.)

I also remember the year when Daniel CaBBrera led the league in K/BB ratio. He was absolutely pinpoint that year :rolleyes:

He's the greatest pitcher to wear an O's uniform of the last 25 or so years....and we all hate him. Makes sense...

You do know he left us for the YANKEES, right? If he went to, say, the Braves, I'm sure we would hate him less.

      Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.

      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

      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.

      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.
