The only phrase we can use to describe our season is Orioles Magic. We've taken that song, which we used to make fun of and dread listening to, and now we look forward to hearing the flute as soon as that last out is made. We play for the flute. We play for Orioles Magic every single night, and the hats get ready to go up in tribute to George Sherrill. Guys want to see that video, and guys want to hear that song. It's a little weird, but don't sleep on Orioles Magic this year.
Um, okay. Number 1, it's not a flute. IT'S A FRENCH HORN. How many times must this be repeated?
Number 2, Millar wants the Orioles to be "buyers here and there", and not "sellers" at the trade deadline. Is he NUTS?

Millar just knows he's the first to go
If we can find a buyer.
"Whether your name is Gehrig or Ripken, DiMaggio or Robinson, or that of some youngster who picks up his bat or puts on his glove, you are challenged by the game of baseball to do your very best day in and day out. That's all I've ever tried to do."
The team is having fun
They genuinely like eachother, are exceeding expectations, have a manager who they all seem to respect, etc etc. In short, Millar doesn’t want to see anyone go because they’re having fun and a firesale would spoil that. It doesn’t mean that it’s smart baseball to hold on to these players, but players don’t just want to win, they want to like where they work.
I’d rather be a professor at a school where I got along with everyone than a professor at Harvard where I didn’t like my coworkers.
yeah, well
Kevin Millar won’t be on the next contending Orioles team, so I would vote that he doesn’t get a vote.

well, that's obvious
I’m just saying what Millar’s saying isn’t surprising, partly because the future of the Orioles isn’t a concern to him
We've been through this before with Millar
He believes in his team and in their abilities (or he puts on a good show). That’s how I want my players. I want them to want the team to be buyers so they can improve on what they already believe is a good thing. The reality is for the front office, not for Kevin Millar.

My favorite quote from this...

It's a clarinet
if the remake video is to be believed. I guess they couldn’t decide what the heck it was so they got whatever wind instrument was available.

The remake video is not to be believed.

Exactly.
Apart from the fact that these two instruments sound totally different (clarinet is more klezmer…think Woody Allen), the sync is totally off. The note starts while guthrie’s still putting the reed to his mouth.
If we're looking to be correct
it’s not a “french” horn either. just Horn. that’s all.
although, as a horn player myself, I’ll put up with “french” if the alternative is flute…

Joe Morgan's an idiot!
You heard it here first, folks…well, you’ve been hearing it for years but still.
This article is just great!
A rare hit for Rick Maese...
Though picking on Joe Morgan is like shooting fish in a barrel. Or, you know, like picking on Rick Maese.
A good zinger...
(And if anyone wants Aubrey Huff’s contract, the Orioles should offer to pay for his in-room movies the rest of his career.)
