vs. RAYS, 9/01

[royalstillman]

Come on guys.They're just tired.

:rofl:

Embarrassed. To. Be. A. Fan.

At least when we sucked, we knew what the deal was and we could all just blame Angelos.

To me, this is far worse because there is no real answer for this horrendous turn of play and there appears to be no remedy forthcoming. Tough to stomach when you have hope and it's ripped away from you.

[osfanfrom70]

What are you talking about?

You realize Buck has been fired 3 times right? All for not being able to win the games that matter. Common theme? Remember last year when he got swept out of the ALCS?

1st to last in the division is a HARD pill to swallow. :slytf:

Davis will get hot again and the Orioles will go 7-3 or something. Unfortunately it will be too little and too late.

[Uli2001]

This is starting to look like the teams in New York, Arizona, and Texas that got Buck fired. This is a total and utter disaster.

Maybe we are finally seeing why he gets fired. He let his team quit on him. This would never have happened under a Lou Piniella or an Earl Weaver. Objects would be flying in the clubhouse long before that. Very disappointing.

[royalstillman]

Another great at bat Matt.

Ask the Red Sox.

[Aristotelian]

I am starting to come around to the no QO for Wieters school of thought. He just seems lost right now at the plate, nothing special defensively.

[TouchemAll]

Ask the Red Sox.

Don't have to ask them we're duplicating that feat quite well. :slytf:

Much different. Our playoff teams were massive overachievers with no expectations. O's fans expected to contend this year but to everyone else this is just us regressing to our talent level.

Yeah that's the kind of thing that happens to other teams, like the Red Sox, all the time.

You never think it will happen to you.
