The Orioles will not win the 2023 WS, and may not make the playoffs...and that is Ok

But so so sooooooooo true. 

 

It took about 3 weeks for my prediction to come true.....but coming true it is.

 

And I take no pleasure in this.  You are talking about a guy who celebrated with 1000s of other O's fans last week in Anaheim.

 

But reality is reality.  They have given us a great season.  Hopefully this late season swoon convinces the Os brass they need to make some big additions this off season.

Chest thumping about how you’re right about the Orioles being bad is weird. 
 

You constantly saying that you “take no pleasure in this” is a lie. You absolutely are, or else you wouldn’t be taking victory laps about it.  You’re more worried about your “prediction coming true” and telling everyone about what an impressive alpha male you are than anything else. 
 

It’s sad, it’s pathetic and it’s probably narcissism.

Either way, real troll nutrition comes from attention so I suggest we all move on from this train wreck of a thread.

For what’s it’s worth I think Orioles can clinch playoff spot tonight. 
 

Win plus SEA and TEX loss. 
 

SEA/TEX play each other 7 times. TEX has 65 losses and SEA has 66. One team at best losses 4 games. BAL win tonight is 92 wins. 92-70 gets it done. Hope we do our part.

Ok. NOW he's trolling haha.  OOO, you've been told by about 15 people why you're wrong about the playoffs, if you choose to ignore the facts then enjoy.  

You're right that they likely won't win the World Series, which is the same for every other team in baseball. 

Alright, I’m going on the record. The Orioles won’t win back-to-back-to-back-to-back World Series. And when I’m right you guys need to worship at the throne.

I already said the other day that they will 99% make the playoffs.  My post heading was WILL NOT win the WS, and MAY NOT make the playoffs.  And that was  a month ago when I made it.  Obviously barring a complete collapse they are making the playoffs.

WILL NOT and MAY NOT are 2 very different things.  I also said if they don't do either?  That is ok.  This has been a great experience for them heading into next year.

I am pretty sure you were of the many people on this board who said the O's would be foolish to resign Nelson Cruz after the 2014 season for what he would be asking for.....were you not?

 

I recall reading that back then and thinking "these guys are absolutely crazy...Cruz is a great hitter and worth every penny".    Turns out not resigning him may go down as one of the worst front office moves in O's history.    This board hated the idea of doing so though.

That was Angelos. He signed Chris Davis instead.

In this example, may not and will not are equally awful thoughts.

You seem to have a really difficult time picking up sarcasm and then using the red button all of the time, which nobody really cares about, it's just baffling. Feel free to use it again now, I'm just pointing out that you should have probably figured out that was sarcasm. I know your trigger finger is itching for the downvote, pull it!
