The 2008 Oriole SS Exodus Continues

For all of those looking for a brief, amusing distraction from the Mark Teixeira madness, Dean Jones, Jr. reports that Eider Torres (White Sox) and Freddie "Boom Boom" Bynum (Nationals) have found new homes. As near as I can tell, both were inked to minor league deals. Man, the Nats would look awesome with Danny Cabrera on the mound and Freddie at SS next year!

This of course means that of the six horrifying creatures that started at shortstop for the Birds in 2008, only Brandon Fahey (who played an inexcusable 248 innings there) still remains with the organization. When the apocalypse comes, only Brandon Fahey, the cockroaches, and Waffle Crisp cereal will remain.

Of all the guys

I would’ve liked to keep Freddy the most. Not that he’s any better than the rest of them. But I liked him better.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

Jon Leicester is going to Japan. Woohoo.

I never understood

how they got ‘Lester’ out of ‘Leicester’. I also never understood how they got ‘pitcher’ out of ‘Leicester’ either for that matter.

WHAT ain't no country I ever heard of. Do they speak english in WHAT?

Square

Ever heard of Leicester Square in London? It’s a British thing. The “ice” is silent. Wait, that sounds like something we should have told Vanilla Ice in 1991…..

Was born in Leicestershire, England

Less-ta-sha.

Not much to do there.

yes

I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.

I really like Waffle Crisp.

Don’t be talkin’ trash about Waffle Crisp.

You open the box, and out wafts the delightful aroma of maple syrup. What’s not to like?

Plus, if you position the box midway between 2nd base and 3rd base, it’s sure to stop a few ground balls from getting through.

It's cost-effective too

$3, $4 tops. I know Cesar Izturis was a bargain by baseball-playing human standards, but does he keep his flavor in milk?

I'll pay attention when we get rid of Fahey

Wouldn't it be fun

to keep him around for awhile, if for nothing else than the humor factor? I mean, the guy isn’t really holding us back from contention or anything. Let Brandon shine!!

I don't Freel like it

We have Farney now. Let Mr. .586 career OPS go.

The Yankees get Sabathia, the Mets get K-rod, and the Orioles get Ryan Freel.

sort of the inverse...

stop w/ the tim redding, already. if he’s the answer, what in god’s green earth is the question?

Agreed

I’d rather have Cormier back. Redding posted a 9 ERA for SD. 7 HR in 29.2 IP. Esteban Yan could do better.

+1 for a Yan ref

I'll one-up you

Russ Ortiz and Jim Brower could do better. Oh! BURN on Mark Redding!
