I don't think that would be appropriate on Valentine's Day.

Saw Springsteen for the first time in 1981.  Saw him play at a NJ club half a dozen times in the '80s. Sometimes I was so close I had to lean back not to get hit by his guitar.  Met my wife

He's not a youngster, but I'll bet he still packs the house.  I've never liked him since he left his wife and kid in Baltimore.  What a dick move.

He's alright, voice is kind of whiny.  But I'm pretty sure all of these guys, including Bruce, fall under the broad singer/songwriter umbrella.  

Yeah, Zach is really talented.  I'd heard him before but not much.  Checking him out again now.  For those of us on this site who like to talk music maybe we should start a thread in one of the other boards that's not O's specific.

I don’t like talking music on here because that means I have to pay attention to @Can_of_corn

Well that ruined my weekend.  Get well soon Bruce!!   See you next year at Camden.  

That's a bummer.  Even though I could never stand "Born in the USA" nor most of his stuff since the 90s I'm a big fan of his early albums from the 70s and into the early 80s -- Greetings from Asbury Park all the way to Nebraska. 

I don't understand why people make fun of old rock stars still performing.  Does anyone make fun of Willie Nelson still performing -- or Tony Bennett before he died?  Like these rockers are supposed to move to Florida and take up golf and pickleball?  They'll all be dead and gone sooner than you know it, and we will miss them.  Who knows if Jimmy Buffett's fan base will ever get over him passing away.

Saw him play at a NJ club half a dozen times in the '80s. Sometimes I was so close I had to lean back not to get hit by his guitar. 

Met my wife at a show in NJ during the '99 - '00 Reunion tour. 

I saw my 100th Bruce show on the same tour. 

I requested "Lion's Den" at Penn State early in 2000, and he opened the show with it. He hadn't played the song in eight months, and I had to explain the whole Nittany Lions thing to him. That still cracks me up. 

I requested "The Promise" at Madison Square Garden on the penultimate show of that tour, and he played it by himself on the piano for the first encore. 

(He was big on requests back then. Not so much these days). 

Got married in Australia on a day sandwiched between shows in Sydney and Brisbane. Bruce sent us a nice card for the occasion. 

The night our son was born he was playing solo in Columbus, OH and dedicated "Valentine's Day" to my wife. 

After kids come along they become the priority. We'd see one or two shows a tour rather than twenty or thirty. 

Saw him at CFG in April, same day we opened against the Yankees. Still a good show after all these years. Hard to believe he can still rock a place at his age. 

Won't see him at Camden Yards (or any stadium). Too expensive. Too far away from the stage. 

The Orioles and Bruce have been my touchstones for most of my life. 

Hope he gets better soon.

Wow, that’s a serious fan.

I was at that Penn State show when he opened with Lion’s Den.  Saw they CFG show.  That was number 58 for me.  The man still does 3 hour balls to the wall energetic shows.  He will be back next year to do this one.

Make up date is 9-13-2024.

They rescheduled all the Sept-December postponements in the US and the one at Oriole Park is the last reschedule date.   So it could very well be the last performance ever of Bruce and the E Street Band.    Typically they take 2 or 3 years off between tours, and given all the health issues this time around, they will likely be too old to do this again.

There are some Canada dates that still need to be rescheduled but I think those will be earlier.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Hallas · Posted

      Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.

      Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role.

      O's target? Roki Sasaki

      It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.

      Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.

      I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.

      In the market and $$$ for SP = Mets, Cubs, BOS, WAS and SFG (depending on Snell opt-out).  That’s enough chairs when music stops for Burnes and Fried to cash in, and still ample for second tier Eovaldi, Manea, Kikuchi, Flaherty.
