It's like Roch didn't watch Perlozzo wreck the pen's arms last year, or has never before encountered the year-to-year subtleties of the game of Base Ball, wherein guys that got worked too hard one year just might break down the next if you keep pushing them.

Just not against us. I hope Adam Jones bombs one off of him.

No one ever said Luis Hernandez can't make outs.

If he doesn't run Walker's arm into the ground after Walker pitched in 81 games last season, then great. But if he's going to uselessly pitch him in five-run games, that's a problem.

There were a lot of people that thought Sam Perlozzo was King Shit of Turd Mountain after he took over for Mazzilli, too. "Oh, man, at least the manager knows what's what now!" Perlozzo actively lost fucking baseball games by himself. Sure, they were going to be a losing team anyway, but his moronic bullpen management was a murderer.

Let's not call Trembley a good manager just yet for Christ's sake.

He got Trachsel out at the right time. I wouldn't call it brilliant, I'd call it logical. We all know Trachsel is a five-inning pitcher. If I know and you know and Jonny Pops knows, the manager should.

This shit about it being April doesn't matter. Just like, "Aw, it's only the first month, we're workin' it all out" is ridiculous. These games count as much in the W-L standings as the ones in August.

Also, let's please can the lazy sportswriter bullshit about how the team is motivated and playin' scrappy ball and dadgum, they sure love to play together! Let's see what they do in July and August, when every other Oriole team in the last decade has rolled over and died because every single one of them has lacked balls. I don't give a fuck about button-pushing. These guys weren't playing inspired ball for Trembley last season when they were losing, let's see if they do it this year. I'm supposed to look past him playing hot potato with the bullpen arms because it's three games in, but take it seriously that they're playing with a spring in their step?

I have never for one minute thought Dave Trembley should have been hired as the manager full time. I'm not going to suddenly become a Dave Trembley mega fan just because. I'm glad he seems like a motivated guy and that he buys into the rebuilding.

3)his commitment to playing the game the right way

What the fuck does this even mean? I hate this phrase.

You said my way of thinking -- and anyone that agreed -- was "retarded."

I don't know what "productive discussion" was going to come from you posting and one of the following happening:

1. Me going, "Yes! You are right!"
2. Me not responding.

I'm sorry I continue to disagree with you? I also don't think you have to agree with me. By all means, disagree with me. Even call me retarded if you're going to continue to discuss. But how about don't even bother if you're just going to cry injustice when someone bothers to further disagree with you.

And it is "my rules," sort of, but believe me, plenty of people disagree with me on a regular basis. They are more than welcome to.

You took a subject that I wasn't being aggressive about, really, put words into my mouth, called me retarded, and expected nothing else? Sorry, dude. You're right. Trembley's great. I'm mean.

In all seriousness, I do hope you stick around. I really don't mind people disagreeing with me -- honest! I wouldn't even mind continuing the discussion we were having, but maybe starting it over without being so fiery about it.
