That’s great! Would you be able to be here if we make the playoffs?

Probably not.  I was thinking I'd head to Arlington if we faced Texas but that's looking less likely; I won't even think of trying Safeco Field.

What's all this talk in the Santander thread about trading Tony in the offseason?  Crazy talk if you ask me.

Either trade him at his highest value or the following year when he is a free agent.  They are not going to sign him.

This team as that "it" factor. You just know in the later innings if the game is tied the Orioles are taking the lead and if the opposing team has a one run lead it's not going to last for long.

I dunno, a few people said earlier in the thread this team isn't as good as their record, smoke and mirrors, man. Smoke and mirrors.

Got my flights lined up for the final weekend of the season, to use up the last of my Birdland Member tix, the ones weams and I had since 2008.  Great seats for my needs, tho @SteveA didn't seem too impressed by them 😆

I'm so excited about being there, especially to help overwhelm the damn Red Sox fans who always invade OPACY. 

I may still have to cancel, but hoping it works out and can't wait to be there!

Hey I liked those seats!

I think it comes from articles in the paper where our owner brags on how the Orioles cant keep their good young players.  Tony will start to cost money and I really dont see Angelos paying the freight.  Especially when they have TWO players in AAA that will likely be at least league average next year.   

Only way this changes is if the Orioles win the World Series and Tony is the MVP of it.   Then he might pay up because he seems to be touchy with people calling him cheap.

    • 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. 
    • Definitely leave the flag up. 
    • 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.
