Putting the 2009 Season to Bed

PrintThe New York Yankees are the World Champions for 2009, their 27th World Series win. Yup, they were the best team money could buy all right. Congrats to Jerry Hairston, Jr. at any rate.
With the 2009 season officially over we can now turn our attention to the Hot Stove and what Andy MacPhail will do to improve the Orioles for the 2010 season. I find the off season to be great and frustrating at the same time. The idea of trades and free agents and building a team is exciting, but sometimes it all seems so slow as we wait for Spring Training.
2010 is going to be a very big year for the Orioles development into a contender. The youngsters will have to show improvement and the front office will have to find ways to fill the holes. Next year is the time for getting better. Much better.
So let's get started! There are just 152 days until Opening Day.

I love the
off-season and all the rumors. Gives me something to research during these crappy winter months :-(

Phase 2
It’ll be interesting to see what “phase 2” actually means. I suppose this means trying to sign free agents, but why would the good ones want to come here?
Librarians are hiding something
All I know
John Lackey’s a free agent and he’s not coming to Baltimore. Despite what Andy’s saying, I see this winter’s hot stove season being alot like last winter’s hot stove season.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Man in Black: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons.
but not for the Moose.

Da Woild See-reeze is ovuh-- tank cripes fuh dat!
New flash: The Phuddies are not a very imposing team. Well, they won 10 more games than the ’06 Cardinals, another World Champeen of great whomping anomaly status.
But to reiterate: as long as Pretend Commissioner Bud insists on keeping their the league both weak and isolated, NPL champs should have to qualify for a WS spot by dispensing with the Japanese champion— if they can. That playoff would be a lot more exciting than the intra-NPL nonsense we are annually asked to pretend is a real qualifier.
WS MVP: Nice to see Matsui win this, as a .600 average is, um, actually rather good. Also, he seems like a good candidate for Least Loathable Yerkee (in a very small field). Sorry I didn’t get to hear Suzyn Wombat interview him after the award. Ahahahahahahaha, I’m really not.
Now, on to the ouch-ouch-ouch Hot Stoves!

yeah
our sitemeter tracks how people got here including their searches. There were a few yesterday that had the words “Teixeira douche” in them, and probably about 25 that were some variation of “Yankees bought the world series.” I check it every now and then when I’m bored. We get a lot of hits that are either “brian roberts wife” or “nick markakis wife” usually.

Heh... er...
That may actually be one of the first times I came to CC… when I found out Brian Roberts got married I was, um, kind of upset. I frantically tried to find more information and I think I found SC’s post with her pictures. I didn’t remember that I’d seen her photos on CC until I read it again on your CC 2009 post. But then a month or so later I for reals found CC (maybe linked from the Sun or something? I forget) and began to follow it for its insightful and thorough Orioles commentary, and not merely for finding pics of Mrs. Roberts.
ha ha
and here I thought it was just pervy guys ;-)

All is right
again with the world of baseball. Thank goodness the Yanks ended their “drought”. Now I can go back to enjoying things like eating and sleeping.
Seriously though, it feels good to be able to properly hate New York again. I had grown tired of insulting the Pinkies. With all of their choking and pathetic efforts, the Yankees had become almost a joke to me.
I forced myself to watch about five minutes of the postgame celebration…just so that I could let the loathing set in. It really worked too! Yep, I am back into full pinstripe hatred.
Join me, Birdland. Join me in my efforts to make them pay!!!!
Oh man
Now we all have to hear about ‘history’, ‘legacy’, and how the ‘ghosts’ have transferred to the new ballpark. BAH! I turned the game off in like the 7th inning….I certainly didn’t want to see any celebration. I loathe the Yankees enough already….
COUGH COUGH!!!! HELLO
The only good thing about the yankees winning is it mike kick the Orioles in the A** and say HELLO WE NEED TO SPEND MONEY.
I was sickend once again last night to see the orioles win and for Texeria in his post game interview to say how much he loves New York, but i don’t blame him.
You’ve got to start spending SMART money, not just money. We’ve seen what spending money on aging high-priced free agents has done to this team. I think this team IS ready to spend money…let’s just see what happens in the off-season.
PS You can tone down the rhetoric here. If you weren’t so inflammatory you might get some more respect……

spending money doesn't always work
ask the Mets.

Yeah...
That’s what I was trying to say. If you’re going to spend money, spend smart.
