Man. Who else is on your O’s banished Mount Rushmore? I count Cal, Mussina, excuse me, Mu$$ina and Guthrie. Who else?

Sidney Ponson?

What's with the Aubrey Huff hate?

I recall him being kind of disappointing while he was here, but I don't remember him doing anything egregious, like calling Baltimore a s***hole or kicking a puppy or anything. 

Because the guy is a racist, sexist, homophobic nut bag who also cheats on his wife. That’s on top of calling Baltimore a horse-s* town. He’s easily the worst to ever play in Baltimore, but a very close second is Schilling. 

All that said, somebody spill the tea on Britt and Guthrie. I always thought Guthrie was a class act. Don’t care about the shirt.

Worse than Albert Bell or Delmon Young?  Folks here love Delmon and he's been charged with a hate crime.

Lots of ballplayers aren't good people.

Delmon is a dirtbag, too. Belle was crazy.

Huff still is the worst and it’s not even close.

Steve Kline, although an Orioles only for a short time, certainly gets an honorable mention.

What’d he do aside from being absolutely awful?

The Royals record this season was 74-75 when not playing the White Sox. This is a mediocre team and agreed it will be a disappointing season if the Orioles can't take care of business in the the wildcard.

Bobby Witt jr elevates any team above the mediocre. He may not be Skubal, but he will be scary. And we can’t just walk him every time. Burnes can’t be bothered to hold runners, so Witt could steal his way around every time.

10 years ago, it's not forgotten.  Royal PITAs.

 

Was just thinking about this..with much annoyance.

Amazing that Salvador Perez was in that series, and will be in this one.

I still wear around my 2014 ALDS hat (Division Champs). It's my preferred O's hat. But it's sweaty, well-worn, and it wants a rest. It wants to be carefully cleaned and preserved, and hung up on a nail in the wall in the basement den.

I'll be able to hang it up if we win the ALDS this year. I'm hoping for more, but I'll update it to a 2024 ALDS Champs hat as soon as they're available. So come on, beat KC, and beat the MFYs.

Maybe I should be, but I’m not worried about the Yankees.

I mean, if he’s on yours, fine. I don’t think he’d be on Tony’s but he can clarify that. 

He wouldn’t be close to being on mine.

Why not? He broke my heart. He was one of my favorite players, and he shook his finger, and although his excuse for failing that test is possible, it’s not probable.

He broke a lot of hearts, because a lot of people believed in him.

Sounds like getting your heart broken by big league ballplayers is a personal problem. Learn and adjust accordingly.

These guys usually aren’t trying to be role models and he played in an era where a lot of players were on the gas. Was I surprised? Yeah, a little bit. 

No one likes to admit Jose Canseco was the most honest one up there that day and was telling the truth the entire time.

I was a lot younger back then, but that betrayal hit really hard because he had been painting himself as literally holier than thou, and shook his finger to a congressional committee and then barely 2 weeks later failed the test.
