Jen Royle gets it

[JTrea81]

Except of course that they offered him an 8 year contract. Must not have been interested at all.

That offer was said to be completely bogus.

The Orioles kicked the tires IIRC, but never made an offer.

Saw this article from Jen Royle, but it was this comment that had me LOL.

Melky Cabrera, thank God your not the G.M.!!!!!!!!!!

Now Melky's not exactly a huge upgrade in LF, but good for her to call out those Orioles fans who ridiculously overrate Pie...

Jen Royle had quite a day on twitter today.

[weams]

Money is part of that. You've got to pick up the whole check, not just part of it...

Wining and dining is the whole thing - the recruitment, sales pitch and offer. And MacPhail has been abysmal at it because he hasn't landed anybody of significance.

Most free agents never speak to the potential suitors. They never meet with them. They never eat with them. They do not like them in a house, they do not like them with a mouse.

Not in a box.

Not with a fox.

Not here or there.

They do not meet them.

Anywhere.

I bet she does. I bet she does. I bet she does. Know what I mean? Nudge nudge.

I'm sorry, I don't quite follow you.

Follow me. Follow me. I like that. That's good. A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh?

Are you trying to sell something?

Selling, selling. Very good. Very good. Oh, wicked. Wicked. You're wicked. Eh? Know what I mean. Know what I mean? Nudge nudge. Know what I mean? Nudge nudge. Nudge nudge. Say...no...more. Jen is she, eh... is she a sport. Eh?

She likes sport, yes!

I bet she does, I bet she does!

She is very fond of baseball, as a matter of fact.

Who isn't, eh? Know what I mean. Likes games, likes games. Knew she would. Knew she would. Knew she would. Likes games, eh? She's been around, eh? Been around?

She's traveled. She's from Boston

Oh...oh. Say no more, say no more. Say no more - Boston, say no more. Boston, eh? Know what I mean, know what I mean. Say no more.

I followed her on twitter for about 3 days during the winter meetings.

It was like reading a diary of a teenager. Maybe she gets it but I certainly do not get her. Seems like a nice enough young lady but I am probably too old to understand her reporting style.

Yes. We need more uninformed belittling of our players. Good on her.

She calls out Oriole fans for overrating a player who shows promise. Then overrates another player who'll be lucky to ever play in the big leagues again.

Yeah hilarious...

Oh wait, she says in an earlier comment that the reason he's a good player is because he has a WS ring, brilliant let's get him!!

DOOD!!! Don't you get it!?!?1/1/11?!?!?! MELKY IS A WINNAR!

Only Jen Royle can understand such a concept since we are nothing but lowly Orioles fans. Did you know that she used to cover the Yankees? Yeah, that's right, The Yankees. Capital T. The Big Winners. Kings of Baseball. The Champs Even When They're Not Champs. The Bronx Bombers. The Greatest Team Ever.

Jen Royle knows more about winning the any of us can even comprehend. No doubt she was sent down from the Yankee heavens to teach us an important lesson about what it takes to be winners, but most of us will never understand.

Guys, watch this video. Could you make it past the first minute and a half? Neither could I, but that's because I'm a loser! Jen Royle f'n get's it. Pffft, look at her deft analysis of the 2009 Yankees. Did they win the World Series cause they spent a quarter of a billion dollars? NO. WRONG. They won cause they were gritty. They won cause they were having fun. They won because the looked like kids out there!!!! Did you know the Yankees had multiple Nick Swisher's and multiple CC Sabathia's? No? That's because you're a loser.

Need I say anymore? I say fire AM--he came from the Cubs, losers of the first degree! Who want's a loser running this team? Not me! I want a winner. Jen Royle is that winner. Jen Royle for GM! Jen Royle for President! Viva Jen Royle! Bring in Scott Brosius (winner). Bring in Roger Clemens (winner). Bring in that mediocre utility infielder who ran over a woman (winner). Bring 'em all in Jen! They're winners! Winners just like you.

Guys, Jen Royle gets it.

MacPhail never asked Roberts to talk to Holliday. Roberts was having a futile conversation as it was clear the Orioles weren't interested in Holliday.

The ultimate downfall of Andy MacPhail will be his unwillingness to take players the Orioles don't want to five star restaurants.

Wowzer, due to my distance impediment I have never heard of Jen Royle untill now. I could not believe what I was hearing on that video, plain loopy.

She made the groundbreaking revelation that teams who have won the World Series dit it and had fun in the progress, no kidding?

Not a single bad apple on the Yankee's 09 Roster huh? DUI Joba and Honest Arod were clubhouse saints I guess. Whatever shred of respect I had for her was engulfed in flames of rage when she had the audacity to call Randy Johnson a "bad apple".

I'll take Jen Royle 100 times over Anita Marks, but:

"They think that team chemistry has gotten them where they are today."

Right, it had nothing to do with the half a billion dollars they spent in the offseason.

Thankfully, I still have a few Ravens game to work before retirement. I will make sure to call her out on the whole Melky Cabrera thing if I see her. Holy crap, Melky Cabrera? I might make a scene.

[DuffMan]

I'll take Jen Royle 100 times over Anita Marks, but:

I don't know they're both pretty terrible. Not sure who was listening to the Scott Garceau show during the winter meetings last week, but her insider info was outdated. She was talking about us being in the running for Bartlett a day after it pretty much had been shot down as possibly happening.
