No Lombardi Trophy, no Stanley Cup, and likely no Commissioner's Trophy. Hopefully the Celtics get knocked out of the playoffs and then there'll be no Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy.

Just punishment for being such an annoying city. I'd probably put my complete hatred of them on the wayside if that all pans out.

On a side note, I am seriously annoyed that the first Google autofill result for "World Series" is "of Poker".

It has gotten even worse.

While Papelbon is out blowing the save against the most hated New York Yankees, Epstein is sleeping at a concert. Tsk tsk tsk

Maybe he was blinking when the shot was taken? I can't believe they're given him a hard time over going to a concert.

I see nothing wrong with Theo taking a few hours off, but that is a heinous fake mustache. How long do you suppose his wife (the blond next to him) argued with him before leaving the house like that? He looks like someone who should be lurking in the parking lot of a truck stop on I-80.

Meanwhile the Sox are now 30-23, only 5 games out of 1st. So much for me gloating about their misfortunes.

Every year someone posts something about the Yankees or Red Sox struggling in April or early May. And every year the team mentioned gets hot and finishes the year contending for the playoffs.

I think some people around here forgot that good teams play an entire 162 game schedule of meaningful games and not 20-40 like the Orioles do before they are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

Thankfully, both NY and Boston are going to have to overtake Tampa, or one of the two will miss the playoffs. And "close" won't make them happy. God knows, I'd settle for "close" as an O's fan right now. At this point, "close to 4th" sounds good.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
