You might want to close down this thread, my friend. The mods don't appreciate new threads being opened on the same topic, when they've already closed an old thread on the same subject.

It might be in your best interest to swing the idea by them first.

That won't be enough. The Orioles aren't offering more per year, but they are offering more $ and more years.

Konerko settled for less from what we were offering.

Konerko settled for less.

Konerko went back to the White Sox where he won a WS. Tex didn't win a WS with the Sux.

The reality of that is more likely going to Boston than here.

I agree. I believe it will take at least 8 years but I just wanted to post that since I saw it. If that is all they are willing to go they may be out of it IMO.

Maybe in the next couple of years, but who knows after that? Tex is just using Boston to get more from the Orioles IMO...

How do I delete it?

I would not worry about it. If they want it closed they will close it.

I think the other threads got way off topic and out of control so they had to be closed.

Or he's using the Os to get more money from Boston...If he's looking to win, Charm City probably isn't his most likely destination.

I really I'm starting to think the media ang bigbird are right.

This is stolen from another thread.

This morning on Mike & Mike, Buster Olney said the Red Sox, Angels and Nats were in on Tex and that he expected the Orioles to drop out this week.

Hey at least we are still mentioned.

I really think Tex comes to a decision by next week since he has stated he wants to know where he is going to play by christmas.

Hopefully we at least stay in it to the end. Its hard to tell which offers are actually on the table from the other teams.
