I can tell that is photoshopped because Davis usually stares at strike three.

If you increase the font size, you get more pages.

Shrug.   If this drags out a few days I don’t care, so long as it happens.

@Rene88 is gonna be sitting with clenched butt cheeks for a few more days until it's on ESPN and official

The 21st century equivalent of Yogi Berra being asked whether he wanted the pizza cut into 6 slices or 8, and answering "6, I'm not sure I can eat 8".

All the info is from the Astro's side. The Warehouse is silent.

Update: Elias is the definite choice, but again, it’s not official. There hasn’t been an announcement and it could be delayed with the Angelos brothers attending the owners meetings in Atlanta.

Mejdal is expected to join Elias in Baltimore.

He can pull double duty GM and loogy.  Or maybe Elias prefers to be the opener.

Mike Elias, one of Jeff Luhnow’s original deputies who oversaw the Astros player development department and amateur scouting, will be named the new general manager of the Baltimore Orioles, a source confirmed to the Chronicle on Wednesday.

Just seal the deal.  Don’t wait for something to go wrong.

I'd like to know how Chris Davis can swing 2 bats in a single swing.  But knowing him, it would just be counted as 2 strikes, since he wouldn't make contact with either one.

To be clear, to me it’s not done until it’s done, so I’m not celebrating right now either.   But so long as it gets done, it doesn’t bother me if a few days elapse between the rumor getting out and the hiring bring official.    Just be sure it gets done.

When are the owner's meetings done? Hopefully they get done soon so the Orioles can make the announcement.
