I voted at least 20 times, but I let my subscription to this wonderful place lapse. Hopefully this post will be seen and Tony will give me a couple days of leniency as I fully intend to re-up my subscription. I just gotta wait a couple days for money to trickle in.

What a silly thing to get riled up about. Guess it's the offseason, huh? Everyone should take it down a notch.

Actually though Tony and Scott will not say it, it is a significant award which may add to more sponsorships/opportunities and assure us that this fine place of ours is here for years to come.

Good Morning.

Good News,

Tony was up to number three this AM.

Thank you for everyone that has voted and please remember to vote EVERY day. We were cheated out of two days votes when Camden CHAT complained about our inclusion, so EVERY VOTE counts.

A reminder to log in to the SUN with as many different EMAIL addresses as you have and vote with each one of them for TONY"S TAKE.

Best overall AND Best Orioles site. Two votes...Tell your friends and family.

Go here today and VOTE before you do anything else.

Yes TONY, you can vote for yourself.

Stacey Major Leaguer Cup of Coffee

Unlike the Duck I am not a member of the staff.

I just hold a grudge.

Stacey Clipped ~d's photo of Aubrey Huff in his I Heart Baltimore shirt and used it as her own. When called on it she was evidently too embarrassed to even give ~d credit for it. When Stacey was given an opportunity to byline the photo properly, she chose not to to reply. It has been carried national and attributed to Stacey.

She evidently got caught here again with the Yankee blog and I won't stand for it.

It's On.

Ok this is just a straight up lie. I avoided this thread yesterday but hopped on this morning at work to see what was going on. When I posted that picture, I sent a PM to the person who took it and asked if it was ok and I got her blessing. Here is where I posted this pic on Camden Chat:

Note the caption. Also note this comment from the person who took the photo:

thanks :)

thanks for notifying me that you liked this and had posted it. like i told you privately, the end of last season, CC saved my sanity with its game threads...love the new changes.

anyway, i asked him to "smile for me with that beautiful shirt" and he sat back with this pose...i thought it showed a pretty good sense of humor. or something. lol

I'm generally immune to trash talk, but that is over the line. I have posted that pic a few more times on CC because I love it so much, but I have NEVER received an email requesting I give it any more attribution than I did when I got the photographer's blessing to post it.

I'll piggyback on this and say that Stacey has always asked for permission to use my photos at CC and has always given me credit.

I am curious why you feel it is ok to mention that OH isn't a blog but yet don't mention that yours isn't either?

Do you just feel you should have a double standard? Or, wait a mintue, let me guess...you are just kidding and this is meaningless to you anyway? :rolleyes:

I agree with that distinction. OH is mainly a general site, complimented by articles and a message board. CC is a traditional blog. But in the end, it's really semantics.

But I'm not taking sides here and voted for nobody. Both places rock, although for different reasons.

Whose main portion seems to be their message board.

They are no more of a traditional blog than OH is...just because they are smaller and not as popular doesn't make them more of a traditional blog.

End of the day, as I said, sites like Stoner's site is the real blog out of these 3 sites.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      Oh get real man. You said that they probably wouldn't even make the playoffs at a time when that was a nearly a statistical impossibility. You were right about nothing.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By ChuckS · Posted

      I would think MLB would like to see offense spike, given the current state of things.  But also, I don't see why anyone wouldn't want the game played with a true strike zone. It will benefit hitters more than pitchers, but ultimately the net impact on offense would be less than you might think after the pitchers adjust and target certain parts of the zone where they are more likely to get calls (possibly the high strike, as umps tend to miss more often off the plate).

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I'd say there's zippy chance of Basallo being up here this year.  I mean, maybe for a September call up and a few games in Baltimore but that all depends on the pennant race, etc.  No chance Basallo is on the postseason roster unless something unforseen happens.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Who did the Rangers bring up with there great pitching prospects?    The Astros won with a lot of low level international pitching guys they signed for very cheap.   The draft is such a crap shoot as is the international signing guys so you try to bring in as much talent as possible then figure out who you have.  Look at how many high draft picks never even touch the majors.  Do you think Elias thought Mayo was gonna be one of the best prospects in the game drafting him in the 4th round?   Do you think he knew Basillo was gonna turn out to be one of the best hitting prospects in the game yet other teams pretty much let him land in our lap by not going after him.  Every single team passed on Henderson, Westburg, Mayo(multiple times) so it isnt like these guys were sure things(not that anyone is).  If he knew Henderson was gonna be an MVP player, Westburg was gonna be an all star, Mayo one of the top power hitting prospects in baseball and all the other guys like rutschman, Cowser, Kjerstadt and Holliday were gonna succeed then maybe he would have looked more at pitching earlier but you don't know which players will succeed so lets blame him.  Druw Jones was the consesus top pick in the MLB draft going in and when we took Holliday everyone was kinda like what are they doing and so far it looks like we are the only one that knew what we were doing.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I think we should wait for the deadline.  We're a lock for a WC spot.  So why make a big trade unless it's for a Game 3 SP?  If it's a home game at OPACY then I want a LH SP.   The names that could be available are Snell, Montgomery, Quintana, Tyler Anderson, Reid Detmers, Manaea, and Kikuchi.   I know we've lost 5 in a row, but it's not that bad.  Look who we've lost to.
