I was trying to find ways to honor my dear friend and longtime managing editor Michael "weams" Williams when I thought what better way to honor him then to create a poster hall of fame after him? 

Afterall, Michael was a longtime poster before I asked him to join our staff so why not only name the HoF after him, but also make him the first member?

To become a member of the Hall of Fame, a poster must have the following qualities:

1. Post informative information and opinions backed by facts and statistics over at least a ten year period of time.
2. Be well mannered and treat everyone with respect
3. Be well thought of and respected by the community

It is clear Michael has accomplished all three of these things and with that, I officially announce him as the first honoree to be inducted into the Orioles Hangout Community Michael "weams" Williams Hall of Fame!

I will soon add the HoF to the right panel of the message board.

Congratulations Michael. You will forever by associated with great posters here at the Hangout!

Great idea. Thank you for establishing this.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Philip · Posted

      I get your point, but the issue isn’t losing a few games, but that two of our pitchers(Suarez and Irwin) have apparently regressed to their mediocre mean, and are no longer dependable, leaving us with two useable starters and huge question marks in Kremer and Povich, AND still one short. The bullpen, despite lofty MLB Rankings, isn’t reliable, and we have nothing, nothing, in the minors. Will we pray that McDermott is the second coming of Nolan Ryan, who walked everyone in sight but was ok anyway? We have already lost 14-11 and 10-8. We have excellent offense, and can have better if Mike would end his love affair with Hays and Mullins, but Mike seems reluctant to make any major trades, and Burnes trade aside, that’s been his MO since we got over .500. The fear is that unless he does something significant, we will slowly sink. The question is whether Mike thinks we won’t sink enough to miss October.

      I thought the 4-32 was 2008 so I went it looked it up, looks like that one was “only” 6-28 after being 62-65 on Aug 20. No shortage of late season collapses for this club.

      Other teams know exactly what we need. Mike does too. The idea he needs to wait another month to decide what he needs is pretty silly. And the idea that the price will be better a month from now instead of today is also pretty silly. The price will probably be higher, but it won’t be lower. waiting does nothing except minimize the impact of anyone we pickup.

      The Orioles had clawed their way back to a .500 record preceding the 4-32 collapse in 2002. I went to the first game that kicked off the losing streak. Looking back at it now it was clearly fool's gold with that roster expecting them to be a good team. But after several down year's O's fans were hungry for a winning team. Little did we know the wait last another decade.

      Understood, but I wasn’t referring to your comment, but to his. He failed to get anyone useful.

      Yeah that was pretty epic, even for an already losing season. Or were they barely in contention? I conveniently can't remember. 2017? Nope, but that was pretty bad too. After a 7-game win streak to the end of August, they were 8 games back, but then lost 22 of 29 to finish 18 games out.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Westburg has the potential to have a Jeff Kent like career offensively with his ability shown so far to hit for good batting average and home run power.
