ESPN says the Orioles are no longer in the running for Teixeira

I just saw on ESPN that the Orioles are not going to upgrade their bid on Mark Teixeira, effectively putting them out of the running unless he is willing to accept significantly less than the offers from other teams to play for them. Personally, I don't think that's very likely to happen. I really wish it would. I really wish the Orioles would throw a boatload of cash at him and Dunn, but I also wish I could eat chocolate cake and lose weight as well.

Which is a crying shame.

As much as I like Luke

I’d be glad to dump Luke if we could replace him with Dunn, defensive liability and all. Although come to think of it, even though Dunn is a wildly better hitter, maybe the price difference doesn’t justify the production difference when we’re not contending.
