The Teixeira Watch: Part V - AM says the O's "have flexibility" on Tex

[oriolesfanatic9]

Wow...Textalk sure is dying down, isn't it. Kinda makes one wonder.... :scratchchinhmm:

I think everyone is burnt out on all of the Tex talk or as I like to call it, "The Tex Watch." I know for one I sure as hell am.

that we:

- Signed Him?

- Working on signing him?

- Hung ourselves from our nearest ceiling fan?

- Gave up?

- Got a nasty case of clicker finger from spontaneous F5 refreshing?

I just found this bit of news on RotoWorld ...

Report: Red Sox, Angels offering Tex $180 mil

The source thinks the Nationals are closer to $200 million. Still, the Nats would seem to be right there with the Orioles as long shots in the race. It will probably come down to the Red Sox and Angels, unless the Yankees jump in with a bid to match the top ones on the table. December 18 - 3:34 p.m. ET

I didn't see this in this thread so hopefully, I didn't over look this information if it was already posted.

[Elon Os Fan]

Projected line-up (note: Order subject to change):

1. B-Rob 2B

2. Adam Jones CF

3. Nick Markakis RF

4. Mark Teixeira 1B

5. Aubrey Huff DH

6. Matt Wieters C

7. Luke Scott LF

8. Melvin Mora 3B

Boras wants the Yanks to drive up the price for the Sox. Unless Mark is feeling particularly sentimental, I don't know if we are really in this. You don't want any part of a Yanks v. Sox bidding war.

That's just the Heyman report saying we are 25 to 1 odds of landing him.

It's just the mainstream media recycling the same propoganda.

Angelos still owns the team, and they will still have a losing record in 2009. I know it is painful, but it is better to pull the band-aid off fast as opposed to slow.

I love the Orioles, but we won't be contenders until someone else owns the team.

[crossfadecold]

every team has exactly the same chance of signing Tex: 50%.

Because there are four teams, wouldn't there be a 25% chance?

haha wish I could find the We may be trapped scene from Big Trouble in Little China

Anyone else find it odd that the "story" ESPN had yesterday of the O's dropping out of the Tex race is gone off of the MLB main page? Precursor to something big coming down the pipe???? hmm.... :scratchchinhmm:

[raypetty]

Would Adam Dunn be a nice consilation prize if we can't sign Tex?

Well, because nobody knows. The media, the national media especially will never think we are serious because of our owner and lack of success. We are an afterthought for them. If we do pull this off, to see the likes of Olney and Gammons talk about this will make for some good TV.
