Phils rock Dodgers, take 2-1 series lead
I'm pretty sure the Dodgers gave up a run on the ceremonial first pitch. -duck
Another Canadian blog says the O's want John McDonald
"At short, there are the likes of Orlando Cabrera, Alex Cora, Bobby Crosby, Adam Everett, Alex Gonzalez, Khalil Greene, Miguel Tejada, Jack Wilson and the Jays' own John McDonald, whom both the Baltimore Orioles and the Philadelphia Phillies have an interest in." Say it with me - We don't want John McDonald. -duck
Yankees' Hairston right at home at game's end
Jerry Hairston Jr., playing in the postseason for the first time in his career, likes the playoffs. Who could have seen that coming? -duck
Astros take 2nd look at Garner
Phil Garner wants a second chance in Houston. He was fired there two years ago. Some guys are just gluttons for punishment. -duck
Look, Buttermaker, you're not my father and I'll not move an inch to play baseball for you any more. So why don't you get back into that sardine can of yours and go, go vacuum the bottom of the Pacific Ocean? I've got business to take care of. You're blocking my customers with your Open Thread.

Oops
You’re right….hmmm I copied and pasted right from my browser window as I was reading the article. If you want to read this guy’s Oriole all time team (and some funny comments), just go to DugoutCentral.com and it’s right there on the main page….

i’d probably take him over almost all of those aforementioned guys. i thought he had a nice little year/ did everything we asked him to.

I have no idea what's going on with this John McDonald talk
I do not like it.

I don't buy it
Why would Andy MacPhail start his offseason with targeting a backup infielder when he is by all accounts happy with Robert Andino. And – oh yeah – there are some real fucking pressing issues to deal with on the roster?
So, it’s gibberish. And I’m not buying it.
"I like baseball, movies, good clothes, whiskey, fast cars ... and you. What else you need to know?"
why ?
Why in the world would we want John McDonald? He is 35-36 with a career .237 average.
Why would he be an upgrade from Izzy?
i know nothing about the guy,
but maybe they’re thinking he’s better than Andino, not Izzy.
"I think my motivation is to see the other guys in the clubhouse. They’re contending for the playoffs, and when I see that it gets into my body. I play like it’s the playoffs too" —Memlo
I dont think I like that either
Dino is still young and could still surpise us a bit. I’d take Dino 100% of the time over McDonald.
Oriole Cap
So these are some pretty funny guys on YouTube (this particular skit i’m linking to isn’t that good, though :-( ), but I think the guy on the ground is wearing an Oriole cap….check it out:

Whoa...
Roar from 34 just said we won the Mobbies for Most Outstanding Sports Blog….how did that not get announced on here? Did I miss it?
check the side bar on the main page
and I dont think thats accurate. We won most outstanding Orioles blog, not sports blog.
Yeah
actually I went to the awards party thing and got a little certificate. I started to write it up but I guess fell asleep or something and never did. Perhaps I’ll do that today.
We won most Outstanding Orioles blog. Testudo Times won sports blog. You can see all the winners here: http://www.baltimoresun.com/mobbies/

ha I'm reading part one now
In which I said
1) Hendo is the reliever that makes me turn off the television, and
2) Brian Matusz won’t even be in the rotation in 2010.

I knew how it was going to end and I was still shocked by the ending
Cry havoc and unleash the Esskay hot dogs of war! - The Wayward Oriole, Opening Day 2008

From the WaPo article
He thought of his own career trajectory — from a young second baseman considered a future star, to a lowly utility man forced to carry four gloves to every game — and the 12 big league seasons he played without sniffing the postseason, until this year.
Future star? Ha! Hairston was never considered a hot prospect. Like Brian Roberts, he was considered to be a so so prospect that projected to be a solid regular AT BEST.
"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap."
But he's a Yankee now
and that means one thing: rewrite history to fit a more dramatically fitting narrative!
