"The Rangers secured their position in baseball's version of the Final Four by putting away the Rays, 5-1, in the decisive Game 5 of the AL Division Series on Tuesday night at Tropicana Field. The Rangers have finally erased the stigma of being the only Major League franchise never to have advanced to the League Championship Series."
Cliff Lee is still the coolest — and best — pitcher in the playoffs - Big League Stew
Here's to a few more Cliff Lee starts before he signs with the Yankees and we have to start hating him.

School of Roch: A second look at second base
"Where's Jeff Reboulet when you need him? Actually, Jerry Hairston's out there and he plays a variety of positions, including second base, where he once started for the Orioles. I'm just saying..." Don't say that, Roch.
Steve Melewski: Talking with Buck about the minor leagues
"We have certain things that we should be able to assume when a guy comes through our system. I can tell you that. That will be an expectation I'll have of the people that have them. I think there will be a real clear picture of what I expect to be able to assume when a guy comes through our system," Buck Showalter said.
Orioles Insider: All quiet on coaching front
Buck Showalter is undergoing knee surgery today, so there's little to no chance any changes to the coaching staff will be announced today.

YouTube - Baltimore Orioles Earl Weaver in his last game in 1982 as described by Howard Cosell

Dear Rays,
Hey, way to embarrass us AL Easters. You are lucky we even let you play in this division. Next year you better get your shit together. Even Izzy can take Lee yard. Paa-thetic.
Even Josh Bell can go yard on Lee
twice over!

How about this:
Dear Rays,
Thanks for helping the Yankees take the next series by making Lee pitch tonight. You could have just lost 2 games ago and saved us all the trouble. I hope you suck to high heaven next year as the O’s are in the same divison as you.

I don't think that
the second best team in the Majors according to Baseball Prospectus’s final hit list is “lucky” to play in this division. And since two of the teams in the division are total fuckers, I don’t have much pride in the AL East anyway.
If Hairston comes back
The circle of suckitude will be complete. I don’t want to start over in 2000. I can’t handle it anymore.
The stache is back!

4 yr / $100 mil
is what the o’s will offer as my guess.
clearly he is looking long term with a no trade. thus the O’s will fall short even though they will offer a tad more per year.
with that said, Lee will be in an O’s uni next year and MFY can suck it.
Lee next year would help get the O's to .500
but we still need a 1B/3B/SS and there’s no easy answers in FA this year. Boog Powell ain’t walking through that door. Brooks Robinson ain’t walking through that door. Cal Ripken might walk through that door, but only to get to the post-game buffet. Geez, Cal, would a salad hurt ya?
"Walk not down that road, I cannot tell you where it goes. Ask me no more questions - some things you're not meant to know." - The Sword
Cliff Lee on the 2010 Orioles will help the O's get to .500
I fully expect at least some of Matusz, Tillman, Arrieta, Bergy, etc., to be better than 2010.
And yeah, they need offense, no doubt. But if there is any chance in hell you can get Cliff Lee (there isn’t, I know, but if there is) you do it.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
I just made a bet wtih my phn friend
he gets a lunch on me if Lee signs with the MFY. anywhere else it’s on him. Not feeling the Lee/MFY love. not sure why.
Pretty good bet for you
But never underestimate the dark side of the force. Remember when Douchera was definitely not signing in New York?

If I could be reasonably assured
that $110 million given to Lee this winter will NOT preclude them for shopping for a bat next off-season, I’m all for it. My point is, between the two, I’ll take the power hitter for this team over a pitcher. We have adequate to good pitching, with the potential for it to be great. We have NOTHING on the horizon for 1B/3B, and an 18-year-old hope at SS.
"Walk not down that road, I cannot tell you where it goes. Ask me no more questions - some things you're not meant to know." - The Sword
i agree
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
I would say that signing Cliff Lee frees the Orioles to trade a young pitcher or Guthrie
for positional talent. I heard rumors of Stephen Drew being on the block. Imagine Guthrie pitching for the Diamondbacks? He’d be so good for them.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
true
Also from what I’ve gathered the reason they might trade him is salary. They’ll both be FA in 2013 and Guts made just $0.4M less than Drew in 2010, so they would probably want someone cheaper.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
You put Guts in the NL West
and he’s a Cy Young candidate

You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
He was 7-16 with a 5.00 ERA and a .304 BAA
But damn if he didn’t throw exactly 200 IP
"Walk not down that road, I cannot tell you where it goes. Ask me no more questions - some things you're not meant to know." - The Sword
The D-Backs are ridic
Kris Benson made some starts for them this year!
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
I don't have faith they will
For some reason, I think Andy overvalues his young pitcher and will not move them except for an astronomical price no one else will pay
"Walk not down that road, I cannot tell you where it goes. Ask me no more questions - some things you're not meant to know." - The Sword
I think everyone overvalues...
young pitching to some extent. Even a team like the Yankees balked at using Hughes/Joba/Kennedy as bait for a number of years.
The problem for the Orioles is that they can’t afford to ship off young arms in the AL East and be wrong about who they send.

"Walk not down that road, I cannot tell you where it goes. Ask me no more questions - some things you're not meant to know." - The Sword
I see where you are going
but thats not the same situation. Cliff Lee isn’t on the back end of his career.
But you can't make a Cliff Lee move and not be able to secure a hitter a year from now, also
You HAVE to think 3 years ahead, at least, as a GM.
"Walk not down that road, I cannot tell you where it goes. Ask me no more questions - some things you're not meant to know." - The Sword
isn't this the excuse every year
at some point you make the moves that will win games. End of the day it’s Lee’s decision. If he is willing to play here you sign him regardless of who is at 1b/3b/ss. Look what they did in august and september with who played there. Not sure Buck will let Lee pass by becasue Josh Bell is playing 3B.

Disagree
they make excellent dinners and really know how to clean a house, well when they aren’t talking about shopping and shoes during a baseball game.
I have this shirt that says, "I should be in the kitchen"
with a drawing of a 50s type housewife in her dress and apron. I was wearing it a few weeks ago when I was driving to the beach, and I stopped at Dunkin Donuts for a coffee and this older woman there says to me, “So, are you a good cook?” and I said, “What?” and she motions to my shirt, “You should be in the kitchen. Are you a good cook, then?” I didn’t know what to say, so I just said, “No.” and she then tells me about her daughter and how she’s always telling her that she needs to learn to be better in the kitchen.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990

poor granny’s daughter. You should have offered the shirt to her so she could give it to her daughter. I would have loved to see the daughter’s face when she got it.

That's because Johnny Depp can't sing
But Burton insists on using him in all of his films. Sweeney Todd is a very good musical. Sondheim is awesome, although I’m partial to Rodgers and Hammerstein because I grew up on Sound of Music and The King and I etc. etc.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
hey
lay off Depp. he can’t sing but he can act the hell out of Jack Sparrow.

And what about Spring Awakening? How about West Side Story? Its score was written by one of most respected composers of all time, Leonard Bernstein.
I will happily admit that most musicals are not serious works, but in essence that’s the fun. You would never call Mary Poppins serious film/theater, but Julie Andrews had (before her botched surgery) the best voice in Hollywood history. And lastly, The Wizard of Oz is a musical, and it’s amazing.
Johnny Depp doesn’t have that talent and he should not of been cast in Sweeney Todd. I’m not undermining his skills as an actor, but he can’t sing.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
I will die a happy man
if I die without having seen one minute of “Mary Poppins” or “The Sound of Music”.
I mean, world peace would be nice. But those two I have a shot at pulling off.

As with 1776, there's more to The Sound of Music than just the music
We enter as our hero, Capt. von Trapp (ret.) has just become a victim of Hitler’s “stop loss” program
Capt. V: (to the delivery boy) All right. You’ve delivered your message. Now get out!
Max: He’s just a boy.
Capt V: And I’m just an Austrian.
Max: What’s going to happen is going to happen. Just make sure it doesn’t happen to you.
Capt. V: Don’t ever let me hear you talk like that again!
Max: Oh, I have no politics. You know that. Can I help it if other people do?
Capt. V: You’re going to have to help it. Some day you’re going to have to.

"We are solidifying this team, not only on the field but I think the relationships that we have formed throughout the season is only going to help us going into next season. I feel like we are a close-knit family here. Everybody takes care of each other; everybody has got each other’s backs no matter what the situation is. And that’s good to have.
"You want to have that type of feeling in the clubhouse, knowing that when you take that field you’ve got eight other family members out there with you fighting to get a win. That’s a good feeling and it is something that comes with time. And we are starting to establish that."

Well, true, but the pressure is horrible
Luckily the PSAT does not count unless you’re trying to be a national merit semifinalist, which in Maryland means you have to get a 750 in all three subject, and I’m not going to get that.
Personally I prefer the ACT to the SAT but the PSAT will help me choose whether I want to one or both, depending on what kind of score I get.

I don't have good multiple choice luck.
They would always give you the practice tests where you didn’t even get a question, you were just guessing randomly, and it was supposed to show you the merits of narrowing down to two choices vs. three choices or even four.
Every time I ever did one of those, I guessed more correct with four choices than I did with three, and more correct with three choices than I did with two. It made no sense whatsoever, and yet it happened every time.

Thanks
There are a few reasons I like the ACT better:
1) They don’t take off for wrong answers. If you don’t know, guess!
2) It’s less of an intelligence test than it is a knowledge-based test. In other words, it’s more about what you learned in school rather than what you should just know. Honestly, I think that’s a better way for colleges to gauge how you’re going to do in college. If you can get a good grasp on stuff in high school, then you stand a chance of doing well in college. So why do I like it better? Sure, I have a decent vocabulary, but I like the way the ACT makes you think more than the SAT.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
A guessing penalty makes sense though
You shouldn’t be able to gain points when you really don’t know the answer.
I guess
I don’t really think about it that way because it benefits me to not have a guessing penalty. The point is if it’s a wild guess and you get the answer wrong, you’re not penalized, so you’re not gaining any points. It’s the same thing really if you guess on the SAT and get an answer right. You didn’t know the answer, and you still got it right. It’s not that you gain points on the ACT, you just don’t lose any.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
In theory, you don't actually lose points for guessing on the SAT
wrong guesses are weighted so that for every point you would gain from blindly guessing right you will lose for guessing wrong. Not penalizing rewards luck, not ability.
I still like it better
:P I don’t really have a good counter argument so you win.

Also, a knowledge based test really isnt relevant.
Knowing raw intelligence is just as valuable since a lot of you do in high school may not be useful for what you learn in college. If a college wants subject tests, they can require SAT2 exams as well.

Oh shoot Vuff beat me to it
It’s out 2400 now because of the idiotic writing section. They’re really going to gauge how competent you are at writing by giving 20 minutes to write a one page essay (roughly)? It’s ridiculous. In fact, a lot of colleges are just throwing out the writing score because it’s so stupid to make students do that.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
Yeah, I think it's a terrible addition.
Writing under time pressure is perhaps the stupidest thing you do in high school, regardless of the class it’s for.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
I agree!
20 minutes? Really? I can sort of deal with an hour, but even then it’s bad. I’m glad colleges realize the stupidity of the writing section. I mean, I’m very good verbally but I can’t write a good essay in 20 minutes. I don’t know anyone who can. I got high scores in verbal on the practice tests, but my math scores were only slightly above average. I’m not good at math, but all I need to do is get really good verbal scores and a decent score in math and I’m OK. I have good grades, so that’s not a problem.
The best thing about being severely ADHD is extended time on standardized tests.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
Yeah, because college NEVER make you do that....
I thought the addition made perfect sense. I had to write timed essays in philosophy, English, history, psychology, sociology and numerous other classes all the time in college.

Nah, it's easy to write a good essay
Tell ‘em what your going to tell them: Write a solid thesis statement “The progressive policy of free silver held the most benefit for the overall economy in 1898” and list three reasons why that’s true and one reason why opponents of your thesis suck.
Tell ’em: Then write those paragraphs, using the sentences you wrote in the intro graf as your topic sentence for each body paragraph
Tell ’em what you told them: Write a conclusion paragraph that shows you proved what you said you would prove.
And never you “I think that.” Ever.

but if you want to point to an example of where kids with more money get an advantage in college admissions…
I can see one mulligan if you totally bomb, but taking it 5 times and bumping your score up ~20 points each time just shows you’re adjusting to the test, not that the higher score is your… true talent level.

let's put it this way
if Wieters were the Ovechkin of baseball, he’d have made the All-Star team and finished 3rd in the majors in home runs last year.

Hated that movie

How can you hate that?
Before the humans came in, it managed to tell a great story without any dialog other then “Walleeeeeee” and “Eveeee”

I do not know.
There was just something about it. Maybe it was the lack of dialog or maybe it was all the lazy massively fat humans.

Have not seen that in a long time.
"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
Agreed
All with the two other Toy Story movies tied for a close second. My number three is Up, no question. I’ve never heard of another animated movie that can make you cry within the first ten minutes. Brilliant.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
I saw all of the Pixar movies, except for Finding Nemo, this summer. My favorites were Toy Story(ies, I don’t want to rank any of them individually), Up, The Incredibles. I don’t understand all of the hoopla over Wall-E. I found the first 40 minutes boring and the “romance” between Wall-E and Eve uninteresting and, well, robotic. So my list goes:
Toy Stories
Up (very close with Toy Stories)
Incredibles
Ratatouille (3 and 4 are very close)
Monsters
Cars
Bug’s Life (equally enjoyed these three)
Wall-E (it’s ok)
I've been playing baseball since I was six years old, so that's 40 years I've been on a baseball field and around a baseball field, and so our opinions are formulated through facts, not fiction, not their little chat room jargon.
A Bug's Life was nice the second time around because I was a lot older
I watched it with my four year olds at camp. Pixar has so much to offer for adults, teenagers and kids, but I got some of the more “mature” jokes this time and it was entertaining. Of course, I was also covering a little girl’s eyes every time the grasshoppers came on.
The Toy Stories are just amazing and I personally think it will stand as one of the best trilogies in Hollywood history. Up is so emotional and beautiful. I think it’s Pixar’s most emotionally-charged and serious work yet, although Toy Story 3 was pretty damn close.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
Hm, my list...
Up
The Incredibles
Monsters, Inc.
Toy Stories (haven’t seen 3)
Finding Nemo / A Bug’s Life (tied)
Cars
Haven’t seen Wall-E or Ratatouille (just haven’t gotten around to them yet). I might’ve rated A Bug’s Life higher if it weren’t basically a remake of Seven Samurai.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
I hate Ratatouille
I cannot get over rats being chefs. I just can’t. It’s disgusting.

Vastly underrated then
In my Top 10 all-time regardless of genre. That movie is amazing.

what would you like us to talk about?
We have an entire post about shortstops, we’ve talked baseball in this thread. It’s October and the Orioles are sitting at home. No moves are being made, nothing is happening with the team.
