Your Off-Season O of the Day: Adam Jones

Phils' season in Pedro's practiced hands
The Phillies put all of their hope into Pedro Martinez for game 6 while the Yankees go with Andy Pettitte on short rest. -Stacey

Iwamura Traded to Pirates for Reliever
The Pirates pick up 2B Akinori Iwamura from the Rays in exchange for reliever Jesse Chavez. Aki became expendable with the emergence of Ben Zobrist. -Stacey

New Jays' GM not prepared to stand pat
Alex Anthopoulos has a tough road ahead of him as the new GM of the Blue Jays. That team is a hot mess. -Stacey

O's on Deck: Arizona Fall League recap -- Nov. 3
Josh Bell had a hit and a walk, and Eddie Gamboa pitched two innings allowing two hits, throwing just 18 pitches. Josh Perrault took the loss as he gave up three hits, a walk, and a run in the 11th inning. -Stacey

AFL Rising Stars Rosters
The AFL Rising Stars game will be aired this Saturday night at 8:15 PM on MLB Network. Brandon Erbe and Brandon Snyder will represent the O's prospects. -Stacey

Snyder ready for the big stage in 2010
Brandon Snyder continues to talk up his desire to be an O in 2010. Also, he seems like sort of a hoot with his Strasburg impersonation. -Stacey

Ravens sing a different tune at senior center
I know, this isn't a Ravens blog, but before you decide you can't take it anymore, just read the article. Derrick Mason and some back up Ravens visited the Oak Crest Retirement Community and sang karaoke with the residents for two hours. -Stacey

This is smores stuff. First you take the graham. You stick the chocolate on the graham. Then, you roast the mallow. When the mallows flaming, you stick it on the chocolate and cover it with the Open Thread. Then, you scarf.

Anybody watch the Lakers / Thunder last night on NBA tv? I’m not a huge bball fan but have casually followed the Thunder since their arrival. Gave LA all they wanted last night but of course Gasol was out. This team could be really competitive in another year or two.

Pedro

The MLB Channel rated Pedro’s 2000 as the best ever season by a pitcher. His ERA was 1/3 of the league average.

I'm so pissed that I'm going to miss Pedro tonight.

Vizzini: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Man in Black: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons.

I've got to much time on my hands

I just spent an hour of my childhood on who should back up Wieters.

Girardi really messed his rotation up, didn’t he?

By using guys on short rest instead of just sucking it up and using a 4th guy, it’s really seemed to set the matchups to favor the Phils.

I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.

I’m guessing it has something to do with “Who’s your Daddy?”/“Yankees are my Daddy” comments between Pedro and Yankee fans dating back to (I think) ’03.
