I thought @Frobbywould look like a more handsome Robert DeNiro and he didn't disappoint when I met him in person.  

Haha, I’m pretty sure DeNiro would beg to differ.   

Funny, for some inexplicable reason I always imagined you’d look like Fred McGriff or Randy Milligan.  I was greatly disappointed!

For some reason, I’ve always envisioned @Sports Guy as looking like a cross between Napoleon Dynamite and Roger Daltrey.  😇

Sometimes when I read your guys posts, especially the regulars, I wonder what you all look like and who you are.  Like, I picture @Can_of_cornresembling John Popper from Blues Traveler.  I thought @Frobbywould look like a more handsome Robert DeNiro and he didn't disappoint when I met him in person.  

@sportsfan8703 IMO, is like, a 12 year old kid who hacked the password to the family computer after his parents went to bed and has had too much sugar and caffeine.  

In case you're wondering who I resemble, here's a semi accurate portrayal.

I didn't know you were a redhead.

I'm not sure what's more concerning - That this was your go-to picture or that no one bats an eye that this was your go-to pic?

I kind of do hate this matchup even if we miss Cole. The Yankees hit Kremer very well (I think Judge has 3 HR off him alone), Cortes absolutely owns us up, down, and sideways, and by game 3 we'll be hoping to just avoid the sweep. 

This is not my favorite opening schedule. Starting in the cold in Boston and opening at home vs the Yanks. Classic MLB scheduling. Meanwhile the Rays are 6-0 after facing Detroit, Washington, and Oakland. Sure, okay.

So if I understand you correctly, you think that the MLB scheduler is, to borrow a phrase from Earl Weaver, "is here just to **** us?"

Though after this series we play 22 straight games against teams that were .500 or below last year.

    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in. 
    • WE GOT US ONE - JD5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
