Some links for you to peruse while waiting for tonight's 7:05 game at Boston.....
• On the rumor front: Jeff Zrebiec discusses current trade scenarios in today's Baltimore Sun. Shocker: there's not much market for Melmo. The Chicago Tribune says the Cubs are the latest team to look at Sherrill.
• Lots of reactions to the Orioles' deal to move spring training to Sarasota. The Charlotte Sun gives 10 reasons for Florida residents to jump on the Orioles train, while an angry old man sounds off in the Herald Tribune about the "second rate" team. Meanwhile, local officials are worried about the O's renaming Ed Smith stadium.
• Tonight's opponents, the Boston Red Sox, have actually kind of sucked since the AS break. They are in a team-wide slump, detailed here in the Union Leader.
• Check THIS out! The O's are having a cook-off event next Tuesday, July 28 at the ESPN Zone: Guthrie, ZAUN, and Roberts will go all Top Chef on each other, with a panel of judges (including their wives) to declare the winner, whose dish will be added to the ESPN Zone menu. Proceeds benefit the Maryland Food Bank.

I'll correct my own mistake
here is a write up by the sun on the latest trade news
"We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow." ~ Earl Weaver
I've stopped by, I'm saying hi, but I'm also awfully confused.
Hi!
"He's a gazelle." -Adam Jones on Nolan Reimold.
Oops. Pressed post too early. I meant to elaborate on my confusion.
So in this thread, we talk about whatever we want? And then game thread?
"He's a gazelle." -Adam Jones on Nolan Reimold.
I think its just an open thread
and a game thread will come closer to start time

You are correct, sir!
Imagine me saying that in an Ed McMahon voice and it’s pretty funny. Trust me.

Other SBN sites have a daily "off-topic" thread
I was contemplating suggesting something like this, and I’m glad we’re giving it a try. Although not that sports logos are off the topic of the Orioles, but this seems to be a catch-all for random O’s and non-O’s thoughts, experiences, and anecdotes.
Here, I’ll add something: I hate shaving. I try to do it as little as possible. Fortunately my girlfriend tolerates the huge beard that has resulted:
Cal doesn’t seem to mind, either. Although it’s looking a bit scraggly after million sweaty hours in the car, stuck in traffic.
My eyes!
But seriously, I think all of us would have been fine with the logos fanpost if it had been well constructed and had some thought put into it.
I think the underlying issue is that the overall quality of posts has somewhat declined with so many new users. That being said, duck and Stacey have been great in SC’s absence.

Koji
Anyone have any info on when he might return? I know this would be fairly easy info to research, but I’m going to take advantage of the open thread, as I’m sure some of you know the answer off the top of your head. And I’m lazy, and I have “real work” to do.
When he returns…bullpen or rotation? With the possibilities of Tillman in the rotation and Sherill and Baez gone, and Koji’s punctuated stamina – the bullpen almost seems more logical. Thoughts?
Not due back before September
…and most definiitely slated for the bullpen, according to Kranitz.

Cook-off!!!!
I would go to that in a heartbeat if I didn’t have, y’know, work. But what’s with the wives being on the judging panel? That doesn’t seem fair! We need totally impartial people to judge the cooking abilities of professional baseball players!!!
The Guthrie/Zaun/Roberts showdown can be the first episode
but if it’s Iron Chef, Koji has to be in Episode 2.
I have no idea
but I’m thinking of the Japanese Iron Chef — the original. And as our lone Japanese player… it’s television gold!!
Or maybe not.
hmm if any of them can cook, i'll judge

"There's only one cure for what's wrong with all of us pitchers, and that's to take a year off. Then, after you've gone a year without throwing, quit altogether." -Jim Palmer
So some people are upset that the Orioles can rename Ed Smith stadium
While the agreement calls for historic plaques, including one for Smith, to be in the new stadium, that does not make the change more palatable, said Thaxton, who worried that the park would be named after Jack Daniels whiskey or Miller High Life beer.
“I would just like to call to the ownership of the Orioles’ attention that your home park, Orioles Park at Camden Yards, you did not put the name up for sale there,” said Thaxton, who chairs the commission, but is the only one of its five members who voted against the $31.2 million deal.
“I would plead with you not to take away the historic names of this stadium in Sarasota and give it to the highest bidder,” Thaxton said.
I wonder if he knows something that we don’t. Why would he mention Jack Daniels and Miller High Life?
If they named it Miller High Life
then we’d be the most redneck baseball team in the world. Boh Staium has a much nicer ring to it.
Matt Wieters can get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop in under one lick.
I dunno, there's something real comfy about Miller High Life Stadium.
Like on old, soft flannel that smells faintly of my grandfather’s pipe.
But who, at this point in time, needs it pointed out to them that Jack Daniels is whiskey or Miller High Life is beer?

Is JD whiskey if it's not from Scotland?
"There's only one cure for what's wrong with all of us pitchers, and that's to take a year off. Then, after you've gone a year without throwing, quit altogether." -Jim Palmer
That is scotch you are thinking of
I think JD is bourbon which is just a different type of whiskey, much like you can have Canadian whiskey (Crown Royal) or Irish Whiskey (Jameson).
Now i can’t remember if scotch is just a style that all the distilleries in Scotland use or that it also has to be distilled in Scotland to really be scotch whiskey.

More
It will not be Phillip Morris Field or Peter Pan Peanut Butter Park. But Ed Smith Stadium’s new tenants will be able to change the name to almost anything else as long as it is not overly embarrassing to the county.
Ed Smith is credited with wooing the Chicago White Sox to Sarasota in 1960 and getting the city to build what opened as Ed Smith Stadium in 1989. Smith died in 2006.
One of the least-popular facets of the tentative agreement with the Baltimore Orioles is that the team gets the naming rights to the new stadium, although certain sponsorships are barred, including tobacco companies.
I think Ben & Jerry’s should sponsor a stadium. I’d totally go to Chunky Monkey Field all the time.

Lately I’ve been drinking a lot of Loose Cannon, which is a tasty IPA from Clipper City’s Heavy Seas craft line. It’s probably my favorite beer at the moment.

Magic Hat #9 is about as fruity as hoppy beers get
It’s not bad, I guess. If it’s a choice between #9 and a macrobrew, I’ll take #9 every time. Otherwise I don’t bother.
Have you ever had Leinenkugel (sp?) beers?
Those things taste fruity as hell. Their Berry Weis taste like drinking fruity pebbles in beer form. Nasty.
I’ve never had Magic Hat #9. I should try that one out too.
by John Stephens on Jul 24, 2009 11:32 AM EDT up reply actions
Leinenkugel is terrible
I lump them into the “macrobrew” category and don’t really give them much thought. Although the Berry Weis sounds a lot like how Sam Adams’ Cherry Wheat tastes – like someone dumped a ton of cherry syrup into an otherwise decent beer.
Ehh..
I think Berry Weis would be terrible either way. I think Leinenkugel and to a lesser extent Pyramid, brews shit in a bottle.
Do you brew anything yourself?

Well
My friend and I actually brewed a batch about a month ago. Was my first time, but he’s done it before and already owned all the supplies needed. But apparently something went wrong and the beer is literally the worst beer I’ve ever tasted. I think he said he set something up wrong. We’re going to try again soon, I think.
I have been saving up for the idea
Just haven’t had the gall to go through with the purchase. I always thought it would be cool to try to get the perfect taste for my palette.

I mean, we just bought a kit that included all the ingredients
I think I’m a long, long way from understanding how to actually construct a beer. But at least I know what I like.
My friend brews his own beer and is really into it. They taste really good too. Really pure, if that makes sense. I don’t know anything about it, or you, but you should do it!
Yeah
I heard once you get it going the total costs comes out to like a dollar or two for your own six pack of beer. Definitely worth it.

Magic Hat
I used to snowboard in vermont every year. Id go up for 4 or 5 days at a time and stay at one of the mountains. The LOVE that stuff up there. Some bars just had Hat or bud/miller/coors, so I started drinking Hat. Its not bad. Definitely hoppy, but not a bad beer.

Magic Hat
I like Magic Hat #9, wouldn’t call it fruity though, more just different. It doesn’t taste like a Berrywiess fruity is what I guess I mean.
Blue moon is the beer I get for people who dont drink beer, but I dont really care for it.
Dogfishhead 90 min is a classic, and the microbrew I wish I was near is the Lost Coast Brewery. Their Downtown Brown is definitely better than New Castle’s brown ale.

Plus it has too low of an ABV for a beer snob like me
If you’re gonna make a beer tough to drink, at least pack it with a wallop.
But you see
It’s not supposed to be tough to drink, thats just a product of mishandling the beer in transit or mis-pouring it or from the bottling process.

90 min isnt bad but the 60 min is more drinkable
their “restaurants” have the alehouse 75 which is a mix of the two. very good.

have you had the 120?
For me its practically undrinkable. I like a little hops in my beer, but i never understood this trend among american brewers to try to get as much hops as possible into a beer
yea me either
the 120 was ridiculous. plus it was expensive and only came in the small glass cuz of its alcohol content
by twistedlogic on Jul 24, 2009 12:19 PM EDT up reply actions
Seriously
My local store carried it once, and it was $9 for one bottle. If i’m spending $9 I want a decent 6 pack or even 4 pack, not one beer.

I had the 120 minute in the Dogfish Head Alehouse in Gaithersburg and I remember it being great. It also knocked me on my ass. But yeah, the 60-minute is good for any occasion.

I just realized that BERGESESESEN (5E, anyone) is pitching tonight. BRING IT ON, PINK HATS.
"He's a gazelle." -Adam Jones on Nolan Reimold.
I like the scrounging for reasons to hitch onto the O's
They pretty much mirror my reasons: They used to have good players way back when. Well that and the fact I actually grew up in Baltimore.
* Tradition. The Orioles are a once-proud franchise; they can be again. They have won three World Series championships, but the last came in 1983. Sure, the team has been in the dumps lately (16 games out of first place yesterday), but the laws of probability alone say they will improve. We can ride the wave up.
If only winning were probability game along the lines of flipping a coin. Or even slots. Those odds would have been better than counting on Angelos.
tell the cubs about probability.
Matt Wieters can get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop in under one lick.
I don't know if I want the Cubs to ever win.
Reason to root against: The fans have that general “our fandom is more special than yours because we’ve suffered” attitude. We’ve all seen that kind of arrogance before and the results if the team wins.
Reason to root for: Maybe the bandwagon effect will turn a bunch of the Baltimore area red hats to blue and the clowns will invade the Nats stadium.
yea
I always wanted the sox to win one so their fans would quit whining about curses and being “lovable losers” and the such. It turned out waaaaay worse than that. Now all of a sudden they are the greatest team of all time. Its amazing how quickly an entire fanbase can lose the perspective that 90 years of losing brings.
BTW, if any O’s fan gets like that when we win, I will shove this 12 year period down their throats so fast they wont know what hit em.

A little more HTML instruction
When you post a picture that big, you might want to size it down. It’s not hard, just follow these instructions when making your comment:
You inserted the picture. It generates a code that looks a lot like this:
< img src=“http://www.trumpets.org/images/faces/BrianRoberts09.jpg” >
I put some extra spaces before and after so it wouldn’t actually post the picture – ignore those.
Now, between the letters img and src is where you want to type width=“50%” – it doesn’t need to be in bold :)
It will look like this:
< img width=“50%” src=“http://www.trumpets.org/images/faces/BrianRoberts09.jpg” >
Now the picture will be half the size it was.
Use the PREVIEW button when you’re done typing to take a look – it will show you how it will appear without actually posting it yet.
If you need to change the size, just make the number bigger or smaller as needed. When you have it where you want it, then click POST.
