PrintA couple weeks ago when the orioles finally broke their loosing streak on Sundays ESPN interviewed Trembley aout how they won. For some strange reason they acted like it was so funny that Trembley had never somked a cigar before and just kept laughing at him. I don't think it's to funny that the Orioles lost 16 straight on sundays and are last place in the division. The Espn reporters were more interested in Trembley having his first cigar than how he is going to get the Orioles on the winning track. The Baltimore Orioles might not be the best team in the leauge but we are the future and ESPN looks at us like we are the jokers of MLB. It just makes me mad that they couldnt ask how he plans on making the Orioles a contender again. Don't get me wrong I think what Trembley is doing a fantastic job with the orioles and hopefully peter the bum will keep him around, but dosent bother anyone else that ESPN and Trembley were joking around about a huge loosing streak and somthing about a cigar?????

Then again
I’m laughing at ESPN. Because they stopped resembling a journalistic sports channel a loooooooong time ago.
Their cavalier attitdue towards small- and mid-market teams betrays their tunnel-vision loyalties to the “ratings producers”. And baseball certainly suffers as a result.
Absolutely
I can’t remember the last time I heard any real analysis on Baseball Tonight beyond Manny Ramirez’s hairstyle. Friday night after showing the Rangers/O’s highlights, the prick who filled in for the fat-faced douchebag said, “Well, someone had to win.”
That’s a team four game under .500 and a team three over .500, not the Royals vs. the Mariners, just two of the better offensive teams in the AL.

I don’t think anyone at ESPN is aware that the Rangers are having a pretty successful season, all things considered.

But, but, but, Josh Hamilton!
He did drugs! Now he hits homeruns! And tattoos are bad!
Seriously, TEX is putting together a better season than they have a right to with that pitching. Kinda like us. But then again, they didn’t know enough to pay attention to the Rays until late May…when most of us noticed last year they had a chance to be REALLY good this year…

I don't think ESPN is aware
of what happens outside of the I-95 corridor between NY and Boston.

It wasn’t technically a huge losing streak, though. It was freaky that they couldn’t win on a specific day. It was like voodoo shit.
I can’t say as though any of this bothered me at all. What were they supposed to do, put on very serious faces and speak as though someone just died?

I thought Trembley played it just right
I thought he was poking fun at how much importance the media was attaching to it and have a bit of fun at their expense, as well as blowing off some steam.

honestly
I thought the organization as a whole did well with it. “We win, you win” was a cool promotion. I mean it was just freakin’ silly at some point.

Kinda like Fan Appreciation Night in '88
I mean, they had a sell-out (50k+) for a team that had lost 21 in a row to start the season and was 1-23 at the time. That’s a baseball town, folks.
