PrintPretty ho-hum chat. He pretty much gives stock answers to all of the questions. But one of his answers was rather disturbing.
AJC (West Warwick, Rhode Island): What was your favorite team growing up?
Nick Markakis: (11:51 AM ET ) Red Sox.
I'll pretend that I didn't read that.

Hey, kids are stupid
I used to root for the Miami Dolphins. I thank God every day that the Ravens showed up.

When I was in middle school
I had the biggest crush on this kid who wore a giant dolphins starter jacket. He was the shit. Way better than the tools wearing the Raiders starter jackets.
Oh man, Starter jackets
I had a giant Orioles one…it’s still in the closet. I’ve actually got a lightweight Orioles one as well, still fits.

I don't mind this at all
The man just signed away six of his prime productive years to stay in Baltimore.
Ever since the whole Teixeira “fiasco”, the whole concept of “favorite team” has really lost it’s luster with me. Teix turned out to be a huge douchebag, so I’m glad he’s distancing himself from the Orioles. He’s much better suited as a Yankee.
The whole concept of “favorite team” has never ever meant anything at all. Besides Teixeira was a Yankees fan so of course he’s a doofy-looking a-hole.

You're right
but sometimes it’s easy to let yourself be spoonfed shit and call it ice cream. I bought into the whole Karl Ravech “e”http://www.camdenchat.com/2008/12/16/694796/espn-s-ravech-teixeira-has" >normous attraction to the Orioles" nonsense hook, line, and sinker, and looking back on it, it’s kind of embarrassing. Hopefully I’ve learned my lesson.
wonderful

I'd have to think
if I was a pro baseball player, my favorite team would be the one offering me the most money.
As I tell my students when they figure out I went to a rival high school as a kid. “I had to go there as a student. They PAY me to come here and teach. Where do you think my loyalty lies?”

Just to be clear
I was being a sarcastic. Nick is the still the man even if he grew up rooting for PHN.

Seriously, for all I care.Nick could have rooted for the Russians growing up.

That was my chant whenever I played war as a kid.

The best part of this interview was def...
Andrew (Baltimore): Hey Nick, you can choose one player on any other team in MLB to join the Orioles. Who’s your pick?
Nick Markakis: I’d have to say Tim Lincecum…he’s young and really good.
translation: WTF Billy Rowell.

The Chat
was boring. Cool to see Nick put in a little time to do one, though. Hope he’s wrong about Villanova.
athlete chats usually are
today’s athletes are trained from a pretty young age to avoid controversy.
Nick is extreme
with his dryness though. I really don’t remember seeing him smile too often, and I have met him like 8 times. Oh well, so long as the boy hits…

wht about his juggling tricks and such?

+1
We’ve been railing on guys that are “character” guys, good in the clubhouse, etc. and can’t hit, field, or even run around the bases. I will take dry, uncontroversial emerging superstars over the alternative any day.
How could he be doing his job when he didn't throw me out of the game after the things I called him?

Hopefully PHN don’t win the WS for a while, I’d hate to see Nick throwing out a first pitch in Fenway.

I say sure it's nice if the BoSox don't win
But we’re pretty close to doing a whole decade without the Yankees winning a championship. Now that would nice to see.

Dry
The guy is blane. Just let him hit in the 3 hole for the next 6 years. Then Scott Bore-Ass will sign him and steer him the the Yanks or RedSox.
Florida is Killing the Orioles Pitching Staff
MacPhails pitching staff could be the worst in Baseball history. 12-2 now.
Dude
Please know that when I say this, I’m not trying to be harsh, but I think it needs to be said.
We are all Orioles fans. We all know how bad the pitching sucks. You don’t need to bring it up in EVERY SINGLE THREAD on this entire blog, you really don’t. Especially ones that have nothing to do with pitching, like this pleasant one about Nick Markakis.
WE KNOW.
If the conversation warrants pitching, then by all means, go on and on about its suckitude. But don’t just put it in every single comment you make, IT’S A MAJOR DOWNER.

bringing it all back home...
nick markakis was a great college pitcher, but the o’s drafted him to play oufield, which he also did well in college.
now let us never mention pitching in this thread again!

Matt Wieters closed in college
Just sayin’.

Kevbo can pitch, oh wait, he plays for the Jays now.

The same Kevbo
that throws off the wrong foot when returning the ball to the pitcher from first base?!

doesn't matter
He’s a sidearm knuckler as a pitcher.
