This is a juice to squeeze before its too late.   Both Northern-born dominators of AA a half year at 23 with excellent hit suppression, and were 300-some innings deep into their pro careers when it ha

I just got to reminiscing on Bedard’s place in my Orioles fandom and my connection with OH. 2001 was a dark time to be an Orioles fan.   The O’s had let Mike Mussina get away that winter, and mos

First of all, I think I speak for a lot of posters when I say that I love your writing voice.    A lot of times I read posts without really looking first at who wrote them.   I’ll be reading one of yo

I have no idea what that means, and I have a college degree. Could you please explain and share please?

Wow, a college degree. 

Wow based offer-  Refers to the rumor that Angelos was offering a "Wow" offer that would convince Teixeira to sign with the Orioles.

Downfall clip-  In this context Downfall obviously refers to some form of video or audio clip. 

If were to google "Downfall parody" on Google you get a ton of various hits.

If you were to explore those links you should be able to figure out that someone used the available template to make a Downfall parody that had Hitler ranting about the O's wow offer to Teixeira.

 

I figure you went to college before Google was a thing but this is really basic stuff.

Philip, no reason it would mean anything to you unless you were posting here in 2008.  It relates to a fictitious movie clip in German where Hitler is yelling angrily at his staff and is clearly going out of his mind.    I forget the movie it comes from.   In the parody, there are subtitles ranting about the Orioles’ failure to land Teixeira.    Someone here put it together and it was very funny.

The movie was Downfall.

Oh, yes I’m very familiar with that, my late stepdaughter was in law school, when somebody had put a Law school oriented script to that video. Boy it was funny. What I remember Hitler screaming is “I want a Mercedes!”

so funny.

edit: Just tried to find it, but apparently it’s been taken down, I guess because everybody who graduated SMU in 2013 got their Mercedes.

Its an evergreen institution by now, for virtually anything.   The Teixeira one unseated an Axis and Allies one as my favorite.

I would love to be able to post the original, but don't know if it is still here.  I admit I have once or twice tried search strings here on OH like Teixeira Hitler but without success.

Depending on one's level of historical nerdiness a person may come across at different moments.  Literally in the last year, my mother-in-law and wife found it for something else, sharing enthusiastically with the regular Breaking News thrill, like seeing The Sixth Sense or Scream for the first time.

I think here I'm at a highwater mark for the Rogers Hornsby winter policy of staring out window waiting for baseball to return.

I've still got a ways to go.  January is by far the longest month.

Y'all can expect more music finds over on the appropriate forum as I tend to have extra spare time around now.

You shoulda been here for the Tejada/Javy not Pudge/Vlad breaking our heart/Palmeiro 2/Ponson 2 sequence 17 years ago.   Those were more lurker days for me, but the four weeks we hoped Tejada's coattails could catch Vlad were spirited.   

I found the OH with the first Vlad signing attempt.   Stayed up until 3am with dejected hope reading everything I could until I gave up and realized he was Angel to be.   
 

But lurked and read here for many years before posting anything at all.   Not sure I even “joined” those first few years.

Favorite Bedard moment off the field is when he told the media he was limiting them to three questions. One of them asked, “Why three questions?”

”That’s one.”

That's an old Irish trick I saw again recently in an old 50s flick with Sean Connery, Darby O'Gill and the Little People, where the king of the leprechauns uses it with the three wishes he grants Darby.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Hallas · Posted

      Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.

      Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role.

      It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.

      Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.

      I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.

      In the market and $$$ for SP = Mets, Cubs, BOS, WAS and SFG (depending on Snell opt-out).  That’s enough chairs when music stops for Burnes and Fried to cash in, and still ample for second tier Eovaldi, Manea, Kikuchi, Flaherty.
