I have faith Elias too, but the baseball playoffs are always a complete crapshoot. I think Elias has what it takes to get the Orioles in position to have a chance by getting into the playoffs. 

The issue for the last 29 years has been ownership, and will they stay out of the way and let the baseball people do their jobs. 

I think John Angelos heard all the stuff in the national press about how Angelos was the worst owner in North American sport.   Now that Peter Angelos is in a semi vegatitive state he wants to turn that idea around.   I think John wont mess with Elias until his father dies then the mom probably begins the process of selling the club.   We got a little time.   

The next ownership will be a mystery.   We have no idea what they will do.

The runner is not forced to advance.  Where do those unwritten rules take over in a blowout game when you just advance one base at a time?

Sort of on par with stealing a base in a blowout.

Mounty with another walk?  What's the world coming to?

The folks behind the plate are wildly enthusiastic considering the score in the bottom of the 9th and two outs.

Definitely the worst most embarrassing loss of the season.  It's one thing to get beat down 11 0 like TB did to TOR last week it's entirely new level of suck to have the tigers do it to you

For the record, in the middle of the thread we started discussing Grayson Rodriguez.   In 3 or 4 posts in a row, his name was repeatedly misspelled as Greyson. 

Let's, as a board, get this nipped in the bud so we can show the kind of fans we really are, right? 

I mean, this group of posters - and I have a feeling there were quite a few lurkers as well - waded through that miserable loss last night.  That wouldn't be happening if there wasn't a LOT of hope for the future. 

Grayson Rodriguez is key to that future.

Greyson is his nickname.
