Cal pulls a Favre

Tip of the cap to our friends at Rays Index for this horrible photo.

Cal and Ripken Baseball joined forces with the Rays to purchase a minor league team in Vero Beach that they'll be moving to Port Charlotte.

And he put on that uniform.

Disgusting.

It's the uniform that bugs me

That Ripken baseball wants to build an empire of minor league franchises, without regard to parent franchise, was clear with the last deal. And that’s fine — there’s only so many O’s farms and they won’t be on sale at any predictable timetable. He can seal the deal with a first pitch in any park he wants and I’m OK, but I don’t know why he wants to appear as anything other than an O.

If he’s interested in selling,he should think about that — It’s part of his brand.

If he cares about his lifelong fans, he should think about it. It’s part of our heart.

Has there ever been a cooler Oriole than Eddie Murray? I mean, just straight up cool. Like a bad, suave dude. You know what I'm sayin'. COOL. SC 7/24/08

no big deal

He threw out the first pitch. People that throw out the first pitch tend to wear the jersey of the home team. I really don’t see a big deal with this. Cal is an Oriole, went into the Hall of Fame as an Orioles, and will always be thought of as an Oriole. Nobody is going to remember this and it certainly won’t “taint” his image.

That's a Vero Beach Rays jersey

Not a Tampa Bay Rays jersey.

Yeah. So?

Turncoat!

The Rays are just as much a team in our division that beats us now. Cal’s a scoundrel.

But they don't have fans

Let alone obnoxious fans

by dkdc on Aug 28, 2008 5:15 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I beg to differ

Have you ever heard that douche at Rays games that heckles everybody… he probably heckles the urinal cake man.

Right

They have an obnoxious fan. Singular.

Not obnoxious fans.

They also have Dick Vitale

actually...Its a TB Rays jersey

The Vero Beach D-Rays still wear the green that the Tampa Bay Rays used to wear

Do you think

Cal could outrun Luke Scott today? Luke doesn’t seem to be all that fleet of foot to me. I think outrunning Millar or Huff is a given.

Cal has packed on some pounds

I don’t think he could beat Luke. Also, his head has gotten ginormous. He looks like Uncle Fester.

Honestly

He is buying another team so that he can get rich enough to buy the O’s. Do you really really think that he wore a Rays jersey because he doesn’t care for the Orioles anymore? Come on.

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

Waco

Texas? I was out in a Ft. Worth suburb about 15 miles from the Dallas/Ft. Worth/Arlington area but not Waco. I feel like I am missing some sarcasm, however.

I guess you don't remember the Branch Davidians?

Oh

I actually lived in Irving starting in 1991 and that was a huge deal as Waco wasn’t a few hours a way from where I resided and I had to go to the courthouse downtown a few times in Waco. It was always referred to here as the Mount Carmel raid, though; I guess I didn’t pick up on it because Waco was just another town that I would go to occasionally and wasn’t exclusively the town that housed the crazies like it probably is known as to the rest of Emerica. That was ignant of me, though.

Cal is the second coming of Jesus

If he’s wearing a Ray’s jersey, that just means y’all should get one too.

"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."

by spike2131 on Aug 28, 2008 9:21 PM EDT   0 recs

if it came to that

If it paid the rent, I’d wear a Rays jersey. Or others.

I don’t think Cal’s landlord is harping on him.

$$$$$$

If it gets him ownership of the big league team, he’d bend over backwards. Or forwards, as the case may be.
