So I've never met the guy, but I used to see PA every morning on North Charles St. during my elementary school commute.  Like clockwork, he would retrieve his newspaper when we were stuck in nearby traffic or a light.  He certainly didn't hide the gun he always had on him.  

If I was a billionaire I'd carry a gun too.

I was not able to reach my source in the warehouse yesterday. The person I know is a friend and speaks to the very important people inside that building.  I am one of the few on here who has spoken to Peter Angelos before face to face and used his law firm. I've said this before. I'm guessing there are others on here that can say the same thing.  All I'm trying to do is get quotes from someone who might say something as simple as we have two offers out right now to starting pitchers and hope to reach a decision with them by early this week and we have something in the works for adding a left handed hitter. Manny info would be nice. Signing him for this season yesterday allows the team trying to obtain him to have a better idea what their final payroll is going to look like. Every team trying to trade for him does not have the money the NYY and Dodgers have.  I will try again on Monday. Maybe something small or big will happen over the weekend after the signings yesterday.

Who are the pitchers? .

If I was stopping anywhere in the city, I would too.

I thought you did as a cop. Or has that changed to make the police department and the city look nicer. "Come to Baltimore City! If you rob one of our stores, our cops won't shoot you. They'll just taze you and then beat you until they feel better! Those smiles on their faces, that's just our cops showing how happy they are in using non lethal force to bash your head in, and because you deserve service with a smile!"

He just looks.....off. I don't like him looking like a mountain man. Maybe that's just me. 

It's in right now. Iike those stupid tight jeans that only an anorexic can pull off, and the silly Woody Woodpecker haircuts.

I'd hate to be a  police officer. You have to put up with a lot of crap from people. But God bless all those that are.

Was that intended to be a tip of the cap to the movie "Kingpin"? 

If it was, then that was well-played, sir.

No.

It was in regard to the the Amish's ability to function entirely without public electric grid, and with only with a nominal of it (electricity) through their own creative ways (such as battery-powered and gas-powered lighting.)

 

I admire their way(s) of life in many ways, though I'm not sure if I myself would be able to successfully adapt to it if I ever had the courage to try.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I mean Adley’s attempted hit vs Witt is a good example. Adley hit it harder…but missed for a few feet. That happens. But even softly hit balls find green…the Os aren’t..others are…like Detroit..like KC vs us. They win on an IF hit, Westburg’s ball is a homer in 28 of 30 parks.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      If they were going to get rid of Fuller they should have done it a month and a half ago. The issues with our hitting were apparent the whole second half of the season. Maybe a firing or two would have sent a message to the players prior to their postseason fizzle. .

      What does Eflin and Jimenez signify? It was a very small addition to the payroll. John Angelos would have approved that, if he needed to approve anything at all.

      I'm not sure that's quite it.  Well, more importantly, I'm not sure that's quite it for me. I absolutely want to win more in the playoffs.  At this point there's no question that for me I'd live through some lousy seasons if it guaranteed a World Series trophy.  I'd give up a lot for that. But unfortunately it's the weird paradox, especially in baseball, where the games that mean so much in terms of perception actually mean very little.   Just look at some the threads posted on this board in recent weeks. "Do the Orioles need more experience"?  (studies have shown this is not the case) "Maybe they need a certain type of hitter/approach!" (no, studies have shown that's not it either) "They must need to build their bullpen a certain way." (nope) "Well you have to be playing well in September to have a chance in October!"  (very much not true) "It must be those nice white boys need somebody to be a jerk" (OK, no real way to quantify that one :)) The Astros must have the secret sauce, they went to the ALCS a lot of times in a row!  Oh, they lost in the 1st round this year. Study after study after study shows that there is no pattern.  There is no "right" way to do it.  There's no way to predict from year to year which teams will or will not go on the run. If for that crazy 8-9th inning on the day after the season the Mets may not have even made the playoffs.  Now they're the example of guys that can "get it done". It's not an excuse, and frankly it's not really my opinion.  It's reality. I do 100% agree with your last 2 sentences.  I don't know what we've done to so displease the baseball gods.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      It's definitely a possibility, but I wonder if there is actually something going on between Hyde and some players, would it be smart to bring his potential replacement in and subject him to the problem?    The fans, mostly here are the main source of BB being a manager. He's definitely had some MiL success so it's not unreasonable to assume he will be a manager someday.

      I think this is spot on in every way.  But I think the fanbase is somewhat divided on how important playoff success is. Put another way, for you, me, and a lot of folks, the playoffs mean a ton.  41 years with no championship or even a pennant is a real long time, and the narrative of the Orioles since 1983 has gotten extremely old. Even the narrative of this winless recent edition of the Os has gotten old. For other fans, the regular season means much more and winning/losing in the playoffs doesn't carry much weight because of the nature of the tournament.   There is no right or wrong way to be a fan of a team. But I can say that if you told me the next 10 years would involve 9 seasons where we lose 90+ games and 1 season where we win the World Series, I will gladly sign up for that.  I am definitely at that point where that title means everything to me and yes 29 teams go home without the ring each year, but 1 team does get it and that needs to be us. And if we get "lucky" like the Tigers on the path there, then bring it on! If the playoffs are a crapshoot, I am tired of that crapshoot rewarding everyone else.
