Teixeira Watch: Part VIII- Decisions, Decisions

[Lester Freamon]

As always, thanks for passing along the info Belkast. I have no idea how this is going to play out. But, in a way, I'm glad that this could be coming to a head - at least as far as the O's are concerned.

fingers crossed.

This whole situation reminds me of an obscure exchange from the movie "Kingpin":

"How's life?"

"Takin' forever!!"

[BeerIsFood]

We very likely will.

FWIW, Part VIII: The Ocho finished a close second for the thread title.

How dare you use FWIW without following it up with something Tex related! The audacity!

Just kidding...

[BillySmith]

Nothing much happening at SOSH. Some good posts over there talking about how they probably are actually not in this anymore.

[Mackus]

You're fed up with the media, not with Tex, who obviously isn't doing anything wrong.

[alexei606]

Well, decision time for Tex and hope the O's are the choice! Whatever, this has been a real ride and we did hang on!

[OsandRavens787]

It's also not a negative sign, which at least three posters pointed out it looked bad for the Orioles. I don't see that logic.

Someone should merge all 7 threads when this is over and then archive it.

I think the fact it seems so close to the end and Belkast said "we will see where we stand," which I don't necessarily see as a good sign..

[SoBo]

Sounds like the Sox were eliminated last night and Tex is weighing his other options today. He said he wanted a decision by Xmas. I just hope the Nats offer isn't out of the O's reach.

[OsEatAlEast]

Well...something needs to happen. This is insane! We need to devote attention elsewhere, like who is going to be SP #2-5. Get this over with and move on please!

Yeah supposedly the Rangers are the only team that has really expressed interest in Ben Sheets so far.

[jcroemer]

Was there a particular specific reason we changed threads? Like new news?

[oriolesfanatic9]

I am hoping that it gets announced at 3 this afternoon. Which, if that's the case, we only got 50 something minutes left.

[L.D.Blair]

Im sorry folks and fellow Oriole fans but this has gone on long enough. I was all for the Orioles signing this guy. Hometown savior , next Baltimore Icon.. whatever you want to say , now I don't care where he goes. For one guy to hold up the free agent market for I don't know 10-15 days is ridiculous. Going to Boston, no going LA..no back to the east coast, mystery team... at this point just go somewhere and let the chips fall when they may. He's nice to have but we ( Orioles ) still have a ways to go anyway..

This is good news. eddie-eddie has dropped out. Now it's down to Baltimore, Boston, Los Angeles, and Washington.

We're finally getting somewhere!

[J.D.]

That lays it out pretty well... Seems to be that the final countdown has begun on Tex's decision.

[G.O.A.T.]

I've been positvie from the beginning so there's no looking back now. We will finish this today and we will all be happy about the outcome. There's no guarded optimism here, it's way too late for that.

Let's do this AM and PA!

[jcroemer]

I see a lot of folks speculating that something will happen at 3 o'clock this afternoon? Is there a particular reason we've settled on three?
