I may have to talk to my wife.  (Disclaimer:  If she reads this I'm dead.  I'll try to claim I was hacked.  If that fails you can auction off my autographed Manny Machado jersey.)  

OK, I can be serious.  Last night just as the game ended I checked our email and the results of my wife's PET scan were there.  Just less than two years ago she was diagnosed with stage 4-c cancer.  They suggested hospice care.  She had cancer in her lungs and throat.  The tumor in her throat was two large for radiology.  Three months later they couldn't find a tumor anywhere.  The PET scan showed the cancer hasn't returned.  

My wife said we should go out and celebrate.  

I said taking a series from the league leaders called for that.

My head still hurts.  You just can't figure out women.

That's great news about your wife.

Good stuff man. That’s fantastic.

Great news for you and your family about the tumor.  Hopefully it is gone for good. 

On another note - while the Os are idle,  you can take a look at what the Rays are doing to the Yankees today.  It really was a great series win for Baltimore over Tampa.

Very happy to hear about your wife. The Lord works in mysterious ways for sure and thankfully this time it worked in her favor! And it's always a good idea to celebrate a series win from a Divisional rival too! ;)

Thank you all for the good wishes.  It was a great night for me.

      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.

      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.
