I would have thought the Dodgers and Braves would have known how to win in the postseason.

Nah, the Mets.  Steve Cohen bought all the "it" factor he could find.

Such a welcoming attitude.  Rag on a new member for months.  In every post directed to me telling me what an idiot I am.  And then get butt hurt when I finally say something back.

 

Just lol.

See the problem?

You can't have it both ways.  You can't say any team can get hot and then say you could be sure that the O's couldn't be that team.

Btw you made a big deal of telling me how wrong I was about this subject.

 

I respond with this...

"Well I mean, the Indianapolis Colts CAN GET HOT and CAN WIN the Super Bowl this year.

 

I am 100% sure they will not.  More than 100% if that is possible.  I would put every dime I have on that statement. 

So I can have it both ways.  I can say any team can get hot and then also say that IMO I  could be sure that the O's couldn't be that team this year.

Why?  Because it was my opinion.  I even just said a post ago I wish I had been wrong."

 

And you don't say a word.  Which is what I thought you would do when I made the post.   Ignore it.

I'm not on the welcoming committee, you've got me confused with someone else.

I know the playful avatar throws folks off.

Mike Schmidt. Maybe my all time favorite player.  My dad coached him at Ohio U in Athens....where I lived for the first 8 years of my life.

 

Our family used to spend a week at his summer place until I was 17 or so.

Was this before or after you tore your cerebral cortex?

Pretty pathetic to me how you guys, all in your little cliques, try and chase away legit Oriole fans just because you don't agree with them.

Seen it from you all a million times. 

Even sadder that you are all allowed to do it. 

You are some of the most negative people I have ever come across. 

Sad!

In the American League?  I would say Houston, the Rays, Toronto and especially Texas are the teams to worry about. 

Houston because they just win and have been there before....many times.  Kind of like how the Colts used to have issues with the Pats even though the Colts usually had more talent.  The Patriots were just winners. 

Toronto and the Rays because I think they are more talented right now.   Texas just because they are playing out of their freaking minds. 

Well I think I nailed that one.

 

And it really did come down to what I said in the OP of this thread.  The O's just were not talented enough.....yet. 

Texas was and is.

You’re a legend in your own mind.   You picked 4 teams and Texas was the hottest team in baseball at the time, winning 9 of their last 10.  I was feeling sorry for you when they started getting a little nasty with you but you must be a glutton for punishment.

When you posted the thread, Texas really was “playing out of their freaking minds,” as you said.   They were 70-47 at the time, and had won 8 games in a row.  So, seeing Texas as a top contender was a logical.  They had the second best record in the league at the time.  I don’t think it took a rocket scientist to see them as a threat.

The rest of the regular season, they went 20-25.   They lost 3 of their last 4 to blow a division that had been theirs for the taking.  So, I’m not sure it was so obvious that Texas was a top contender on October 1 as it had been on August 12 when you made your post.

The bottom line on Texas was they were a streaky team all year.  They had a great offense, which was close to unstoppable when they got on a roll.   They got hot at the right time, and they won the World Series.   Congrats to them.
