ESPN's Ravech: Teixeira has "enormous attraction to the Orioles" Close to signing

[DuffMan]

Some people here need to step away from the ledge.

I can't believe people are genuinely concerned because Belkast didn't use enough smiley faces or exclamation points.

Spot on. I'm really excited/eager/etc. , too, but...just...wow.

Right...Nothing Belkast said should be looked at as negative.

Agreed, just because "X" amount of minutes have gone by with out a post from the guy doesn't mean something bad has happen.

So then, that would be bad news for me...ummm...what is Big Pete's terminal and how does it know Tex is an Oriole?

I think it's a computer joke. Terminal is a command window and echo is a command.

[Earl of Tomato]

I have bet with a very obnoxious RS fan over where Tex will end up. Boy, every drop of that Pepsi is going to be savored!

[ChaosLex]

Amazing sir... great news.

So, was that good news?

[Odenton O]

I think he's implying he's got a 'tap' on either PA's computer or telephone. And yeah, it was a joke.

Yeah I get it now. :laughlol:

If this doesn't happen....where do we go for counseling?

Whereever you go, realize you'll probably have to wait a month and a half for an appointment. GRRR.

Joke news. I think he's playing off of everybodys "edge of their seat" reactions.

I know where I'm going..

You are acting negative today. Why?

Preparing myself for the jump to the Red Sux.

[JTrea81]

Gotta wonder if the O's are just waiting for the 6:00 news to come around or if it will be later this evening...

[Moose Milligan]

I'll tell you who will be relieved - Nick Markakis.

The guy probably feels like an ant underneath a magnifying glass with the sun shining down on him.

Something tells me playing in Baltimore is playing baseball cloaked in anonymity.

I don't think Nick sweats it.

I think Tex signing will be bittersweet for him, though. It'll be nice to have him in the lineup, but how come they couldn't pony up a few million for him?

Personally I don't think he was anywhere close to the Orioles #. I think the Tex signing would bring his $ back down a bit because he'd see the club is comitted to winning.

The ECHO Virtual Terminal is a secure, browser-based interface that enables businesses to process credit card and electronic check transactions from any Best I could come up with. Maybe he hacked PA bank account.:laughlol:

Anybody seen if the Brinks trucks have backed up to Angelos' money bin in Monkton yet? :laughlol:
