Squawking Baseball: The Best and Worst GMs of the Aughties
Baseball Prospectus looks at the 10 best and 10 worst GMs of the 2000s. The bad news for the Orioles is that Flanagan/Beattie came in at 6th worst. The good news for the Orioles? Bill Bavasi came in 2nd. -Stacey
MASN releases broadcast schedule for the O's and Nats
All games will be in HD this year, hooray! In addition to their games on MASN and MASN2, the O's will have 20 games broadcast on WJZ and three televised nationally. Am I the only one who thinks it would make sense that if you have two teams and two HD channels, there should just be one for each? -Stacey

Please, please
tell me that I am not the only person considering starting a Brian Matusz Facts site. Please.
Fact:
Brian Matusz’s birthday is February 11th.
I’m good at this.

Fact:
Brian Matusz is left handed.
Me too!!

“Is it wrong that I burst out laughing when I see Wiggy’s face in that picture?”
It’s bloody hilarious.

ahaha I know
I almost said something about it but then figured I’d let everyone notice it on their own.

I know she’s had a little cosmetic work done since then, but that’s harsh.

Also,
the White Sox signed Daniel Cabrera to a minor league deal. Good for him! Now we can start taking bets on how long he sticks around in their system!

Yeah, I say this a few times a day.

it's probably a private school.
Vizzini: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Man in Black: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons.
Or a public school with a grant

Or the Hebrew Academy in Silver Spring
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.

A study hall magazine confiscation that'll make you think: Archie Comix? Nah. Playboy? Predictable (and hey...)
But how about Guns and Ammo?

He's in Hotlanta.
My Braves fan friend is all defending him. I just told him he better hope we don’t play interleague again anytime soon b/c EO’F is our best relief pitcher.
Don't let the sunshine fool ya. - Townes Van Zandt
Oh I know
I went to a Phillies game last year vs the Braves and they brought him in to pitch. I was so excited. I told my friend that E O’F is the Patron Saint of Birdland. To my disappointment he didn’t give up any runs.

WTF!?
I can’t believe the Jets did this! I mean, really guys? Are you that sure you are going to beat the Colts? You know, that team that you have to get through to become the AFC champs, that just happens to have one of the greatest QB’s of all time? I may order one just to wave around town if the Jets lose.
Colts have done the same thing already.
But Rex Ryan isn’t their coach, so no one cares.
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
I looked on their site
I couldnt find it, but whatever. I really like Rex. I just think it’s a bit much for a team that hasn’t even sniffer a super bowl in the past 40 years.
Heard it on ESPN Radio this morning
It’s my least hated alternative now that Screamin’ A. Smith is on Fox Sports Radio. I do miss me some Steve Czaban.
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
If you liked Czaban in the morning
his drivetime show with Andy Pollin is even better.
Its funny with me and Czabe, we agree on nothing politically, yet I agree with him on just about every sports issue.

I want to say something random...I hope that's what these things are for.
I recently began posting here, and I have to say I really like it. You guys know a lot about baseball, and although I am a bit lost at times, I really enjoy frittering away valuable homework time on CC. Thanks :)
Do your work, young man!
Sorry, it’s the HS teacher in me.
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
Young lady!
And the rules are the rules from the first bell to the last.
Yeah, I’ve had this conversation a few times.
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
That must be the first time
that anyone has said “bell” on CC and not meant the prospect. Interesting to note that…
Grrrr
Teachers are the bane of my existence…
JUST KIDDING. I actually like most of my teachers. What do you teach?
As little as possible
World History, 9th grade.
Kudos for using ‘bane’ correctly.
On the other hand, we’ve tripled the amount of known teens on here since Westie showed up a few years ago…
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
That's cool.
I have yet to meet very many teens who speak coherently—ahem, type coherently—on the internet. World History was my favorite class, by the way. History is my favorite subject. So, yay you!
he's buttering you up duck
"I like baseball, movies, good clothes, whiskey, fast cars ... and you. What else you need to know?"
And this is where I exit the conversation
because I REALLY like my job, and not living in a homeless shelter.
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
Oh, teachers have been fired for less
There’s a case in Florida where a HS teacher put vacation photos of herself wearing a bikini on her personal FB page and her district fired her for violating the morals clause of her contract.
Now, the teacher in question made some, well, questionable career choices after being fired, but still.
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal

dont put up any bikini pics duck :-)

Male teacher + underage female student + conversing on internet = looks bad
And I phrase it like that because that’s what a State’s Attorney would do in front of a grand jury looking for an indictment. Nothing personal.
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
jesus, what a ridiculous world
"I doubt he could reach [second base]...mostly cuz his fucking arm was in Aybar's nuts." – twistedlogic
But you gotta admit..
when I word it that way, makes sense why teachers are paranoid on the internet, yes?
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
One of the teachers at my high school
just got arrested on a few account of sex with a student. I just graduated and I knew that teacher. Effing creepy.
The guy I replaced as wrestling coach?
4 to 7 with good behavior. He served 7.
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
OK, I totally missed that
And I’m old enough to not be too proud to ask for an explanation.
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
he's saying
once you’re in jail, no reason to leave early. do it right.
and i’m older than you.

I’ve already got my question developed, it goes something like this… Why the hell didn’t you fire Juan Samuel?

there is now internet in outer space
so next time you’re floatin around up there….you can still keep up with the kardashians on twitter!
I just clipped this for tomorrow's Bird Droppings
But I want to share now also. Adam Jones was filming a commercial for this season and BirdlandInsider on Twitter (aka the Orioles Communications Department) posted some pics. They say Wieters is shooting his commercial now and they’ll post pics of him later.
If you guys are on twitter and don’t follow @birdlandinsider you definitely should. They have lots of good stuff. That’s where I learned about emailing for an O magnet, for example.

Adam Jones is looking kind of skinny
He needs to get his punk ass to the gym. Look at his toothpick arms, for christs sake!
I think he looks perfect
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry
Wow
there sure are alot more females on this site than I remember there ever being. If 2632 ever shows up around here again it might get crazy.
Creepy.
Seriously, I just opened my laptop, this thread was up, and I pressed the ole Z key and soon came to that comment. Hehehehhee
Wait, I thought that meant he would be flabby...
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
Just me, or is anyone else not getting images?
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
Looks like they are "time-limited links" that refresh when viewed on the twitpic page
But expire when hotlinked. Crazy stuff.
I almost understood some of that.
"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
Have any of you guys seen the commercial with Bergesen?
I saw it during 24 last week. I rewound at the end to watch it again. It made me excited for the season to start.
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry
No. :(
Dammit. Somehow, whenever I end up stuck watching commercials, they’re always shitty ones.
"He's a gazelle." -Adam Jones on Nolan Reimold.
I'm lucky I saw it
I hardly ever watch anything in real time so I always FF through the commercials.

Grant Desme
so this guy is the A’s #4 ranked prospect and he decides to become a priest. Whatever floats your boat, but I sure am glad he wasn’t OUR 4th best prospect.
That's pretty crazy.
But kudos to the guy for knowing what he wants to do with his life and not being deluded by millions and millions of dollars that he could have potentially earned and donated to support charities.
In other words, I’m not sure where I stand on this.
Can I just say...
that I love AM? In this (http://masnsports.com/2010/01/cornering-macphail.html) interview with Roch, he talks about Tejada’s durability by referencing his place apperances over several seasons. Not at-bats, but plate appearances. It doesn’t really mean much in this context, but I’m just glad that AM prefers PAs to ABs.
