So what was more of a crap sandwich? Povich's start or the pitiful ineptitude of driving in runners in the top of the first? Both were equally crapola.

I go with Walk-Walk-Weaver to start the game.

It's not even close.

I like that the As don’t have any stupid advertising on their shoulders. Instead they pay homage to the elephant.

much prefer that to T Rowe Price.

Wait until they get to Las Vegas.  You will see some ungodly casino monstrosity on that arm patch.

Cade BBovich, eh? 

How'd I do, @Malike?  Not quite as good as when I used to call Daniel Cabrera "Daniel CaBBrera" many years ago, but I feel like it does a good job of highlighting my gripe with BBovich not beign able to find the zone.

You did fine, but if you really want to insult him, call him by his middle name.

    • Ah yes, Fever Pitch. It was entertaining, I liked it. Especially the pals gathering when the season tickets arrived. And yes, real BoSox fans were far less fun than that after they ended the curse. As for the O’s not giving us much, again, I understand the sentiment (like Moose’s take about abandonment). Maybe it is an abusive relationship of sorts, but I still get 6-7 months of baseball a year, several winning seasons, which despite the play-off torture zone, I do like the team being far more competitive than when they were stacking losing seasons. I love baseball, it really is my favorite sport. I think maybe I give them more room to fail because I live far from home and the O’s are the biggest part of my Maryland identity. Sounds weird maybe, but I do think that’s why I am already looking forward to the Hot Stove season where the O’s start adding the ‘nuggets’ that get them over the top. I also realize being hopeful during the off-season can be considered quite delusional by other O’s fans.  
    • Refsnyder is another guy to look at as a RH OF. He mashed LHP last year too. 
    • Mind you I don't live in Maryland so I don't have a pulse on the State or the city of Baltimore. Is what I see at the OH actually representational of the average fan?  My inclination is to think it isn't.    As to your other point, I'm sure they have an AAR at the conclusion of every season. My guess is the underlying numbers that they base things off of don't change much and they just tweak a few things.
    • Yeah he mostly played against LHP. Either way I think that’s deserving of more than his mutual option. Of course there seems to have been something in that Arizona water this year. 
    • All the unhappiness expressed by O’s fans here over the last few days — that’s from unmet expectations. I think the 101 wins from the year before made most Baltimore fans expect more this season.  I definitely didn’t anticipate another winless, quick departure from the post-season.  As for the Elias post-mortem, I thought it was some industry speak and yet, I do believe him when he says they are going to take a hard look at the things not going well (and hopefully that means adding pitchers and better pitcher development and finding an old school playbook on small ball to move runners once in a while).
