"In the case of 28 year old Mark Teixeira....Baltimore, you are NOT the father...." :laughlol:

Oh no you didn't!

:eektf:

Slap!

My eyes are starting to play tricks on me. I could have sworn I read something about Oswalt in this thread, only to double check and the word in question was Orioles. I need a nap.

I mentioned Oswalt in an earlier post, in regards to the Astros current situation.

Would love for the Orioles to trade for him to, but that's another topic.

I've got to head out for most of the day. Is there anyone who is planning on monitoring the board who could be kind enough to text me any somewhat significant updates that are posted? I can PM you my number...

lol I can if you want.

I just can't understand how Ravech can say, "The interesting thing is, when one team ups their offer, all the other teams do" one day. The next day Buster says, "The Orioles haven't upped their offer." Someone has to be wrong.

Number of posts means nothing, other than perceived credibility. If number of posts really mattered, we should ignore your opinion because of your postcount

opinion and fact are two different things....one of the accounts doesnt exist anymore (redsoxexpert) and the other one was made today.....so no, number of posts has nothing to do with an opinion's credibility, but if you genuinely believe them, you may be a little too trusting

Anybody think we will know what our final offer was IF we don't get Tex?

[AZOriole]

Oh no you didn't!

:eektf:

Slap!

:rofl:

"I told you!!! I told you!! Whattcha gonna say now?!?!"

There will be a lot of that going on, regardless of how this Teixeira "thing" plays out. :laughlol:

[S'GOS]

Any thoughts on Boras or the Players Union trying to talk him out of / force him from signing with Baltimore?

The Sun now has a "What they're saying about Mark Teixeira" link. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/baseball/bal-teixeiraroundup1217,0,6031986.story

This needs to get done.

My mailman said he knows for a fact that Tex will be an Oriole. I believe him, he's predicted that Christmas will fall on the 25th for 15 straight years

I just blew chocolate that was in my mouth all over my laptop screen....

ESPN has all of their bases covered. They won't be wrong regardless of the outcome.

Neither would care where he plays as long as he gets at least 8 years and 20 plus a year.

Has there been any word on the Ponson vs Angelos hearing? Could this be slowing down our interaction with the Teixeira negotiations? Is Angelos available during the hearing to make responses to MacPhail?
