Quotes signs "Saverna Park hates you" and "we hate you"

Colin says "there's a big difference between being passionate and saying 'I hate you'"

Says sarcastically that Tex would be a better person if he took less money and went to work every day with no hope of making the post season.

One fan calls in and says "Yeah O's fans boo Teixeira but when the Yanks show up and he sits out, they feel like they've been ripped off" Colin agrees O's fans are selective.

Another fan calls in and refers to the Tex relationship as him "dumping" the Orioles. Colin can't see it at all. "You never had him in the first place... how could he dump you?"

Another fan calls in and says we (Orioles) have been waiting for a winning team for a long time and we're overdoing it with the booing. Colin says good call "Passion is no excuse for hate. Get a life haters."

I don't think he has a problem with the booing just the hating. He feels some fans crossed the line. I don't.

It's just a game but a very emotional one for a lot of us and we take things personal. That's just the way it is.

I'll stand on the side of the haters. :). Wrong or not, we have to stand for something. Had we been given a chance to beat the offer and couldn't, maybe things would be different. Hating him may bring as much life to Baltimore as loving him would have... at least when the Yankees are in town.

Maybe the "hates" thing is a little extreme, but who cares. Is Tex gonna go home and cry himself to sleep because of it? Professional athletes with over $100 mill should know they need to have some thick skin. The fans will do as they want.

Your mistake was listening to that moronic imbecile in the first place. Why bother listening to an angry, bitter, know-nothing? If you pay attention to the lowest common denominator of sports talk, expect to hear LCD-level content.

You can boo a guy all you want and talk about how you hate him all you want, but directing those types of insults at a guy is crossing the line. Booing is part of sports past, present, and future. Personal insults have no place in the game.

Just more confirmation that me not listening to, nor watching, ESPN has been the correct choice for me over the past few years. Since when did having a passionate crowd at a sporting event become a bad thing? I expected nothing less, and loved hearing it on the TV.

These "journalists" are making more out of this than the players are. Then again, ESPN needs to step up to the plate and be the Yankee apologists that they typically are.

I didn't read this but I sort of agree that it is possible to go over the top. Do I want Tex to be ashamed? Sure. Do I want him to regret choosing the Yankees? Yes. But some people on here are talking about stuff like "haha I bet his family is miserable" and stuff like that. I get passion, but that's a bit bizarre. I don't really want him to suffer.

      Cease vs everyone else

      By forphase1 · Posted

      Works for me,  as long as the first piece is a Norby type!  Only one of Ortiz/Westburg/Cowser/Kjerstad should be traded for Cease.  Let them pick one of them and a couple in the 8-15 range then a lottery pick or two if needed.  But giving up 2 of those is to pricy for the return.  I like Cease, but personally value him as a very solid #3 starter.  Sure, he COULD perform better than that,  but I wouldn't bet on it.  Maybe he reverts back to his 2022 form, but I think it more likely that what we get is what we saw from him in 2023, with an improvement in numbers due to the defense behind him.

      Exited about this kid and the future of our international signings. We have to remember the initial reporting don’t mean a whole lot. We’ve had success in the 100-500 k range too.

      Downtown restaurants should like this too.  Much better for any local entertainment venues.

      Cease vs everyone else

      By Number5 · Posted

      Cease is a solid MLB starting pitcher with 2 years of control  who's team has clearly made it known that he's available.  Of course there is a lot of interest.  There is a lot of interest in the Orioles' prospects, as well.  Fans of both teams are hopeful that their team will get maximum value for their assets in any trade.  I'm sure that it is sometimes difficult for GMs to reach a meeting of the minds on a player's value, in which case they need to work out a restructure of the discussed deal that may not include that player.  I think Elias' opinion on Ortiz is likely to be pretty close to what posters on this site are telling you.  If the White Sox GM views Ortiz as you do, it would seem that a deal between the two teams would most likely not have Ortiz included.  I'm sure that isn't all that unusual and the GMs just turn the page and look at working out a trade involving other players/prospects.  What confuses me is that you seem to rate Ortiz lower than we do and lower than the various sites rate him, but would like a trade of Cease for Cowser and Ortiz.  I'm against that deal because I think 2 prospects rated that highly would be an overpay.  It seems to me, you agree.  You simply rate Ortiz lower.  Seems to me that the answer in such an impasse that would make both parties happy would be to replace Ortiz with another prospect that is lower rated than Ortiz -- which would be of equal value in your mind, since you rate Ortiz lower and still think the proposed trade is a fair one.  Make sense?  Maybe replace Ortiz with Norby.

      100% agree with you.  Especially when you haves waves of prospects coming up behind these guys.
