I said during the offseason this was probably going to turn out like 2012 and 2013.  The team will be better the second year but will end up with fewer wins since it won't be as "lucky".

Thankfully these teams are better and won’t miss the playoffs like in 13.

The Orioles suck and I can't even post about how mad I feel.

That was sad. You think that's bad. Just came back from church. I'm wearing my O's jersey. A Cubs fan gets all up in my face. When it rains it pours.

It’s almost impossible to be that consistent back to back years. 

The Rays and Cardinals have rarely done anything but be consistent.

The Orioles as we all know didn’t get swept last year. This team is still on pace for 96 wins. 
 

I meant having back to back years with no real “down” period.

Oh God...why does he have to try to talk smack at church?

I wonder if there are some clubhouse issues. We haven’t seen these types of slumps since Adley came up.

Best performances yesterday and today...Smith and Nittoli.

If he does this I hope he gets fired. If we have 10 years of playoff appearances and people aren't satisfied with the job he's doing, they should pick another team to watch, preferably the one that is leading in the 9th in the clincher game of the World Series each year. 

The bolded part that you quoted was a little bit hyperbolic, of course I don’t think he’s gonna do all that. I think he could justify trading one or two of our big three but he has apparently decided that he’s not going to, although the people he’s talking to are demanding nothing less, and he can’t put together a package they want and they won’t take a package we offer, so we have an impasse. 
And rather than say, “dammit we really need X so I’m going to give in to this demand,” he will instead talk to his assistant and say “who’s on the waiver wire today.“

My point is that he is far likelier to do nothing significant than to do something significant. Even the price for Burnes wasn’t especially high, because he was buying only one season. If Burnes had two years remaining, I doubt Mike would have paid the additional cost.

Nittoli looks unimpressed by the Yankees

So predictable Elias to do nothing!!!!!

The 2 new additions to the bullpen look like they have potential. So far so good.

Nice to see the bench clearing incident lit something in the team.

Well, watching this game was a bad decision. I should have spent my time driving to the beach.
