Rangers top Yankees in Game 6, advance to first ever World Series | HardballTalk
"Colby Lewis pitched the proverbial "game of his life," allowing just three hits over eight innings of one-run ball. The only run scored on a blown wild pitch call by home plate umpire Brian Gorman in the top of the fifth inning. Otherwise, the Yankees couldn’t touch him."

Bill Simmons: October mailbag - ESPN
A fan wishes Dexter from the Showtime series could take his show on the road and off GMs and owners. Here's a concocted e-mail Bill thinks would be a good episode: "Hi, I've been an Orioles fan since the Brooks Robinson days. My son is 9 years old and doesn't have a single positive Orioles memory. He wants to start rooting for the Red Sox; I don't know how to stop him. Do you think Dexter could kill Peter Angelos on this week's episode? I'm begging you. Please. Do this for me."
Orioles Insider: Random Orioles news and notes
"The Orioles opted against having organizational meetings last year, but MacPhail felt it was important to have them this offseason. These meetings will include Showalter, his coaching staff, the front office and all the organization’s scouts."
Steve Melewski: Building the model franchise
"What makes a good franchise? Is it one that produces a steady stream of talent through its farm system? Is it simply completely about wins, no matter what method you get them? Is about consistent winning or the ability to produce a potential World Champion every, say, five to ten years?"
School of Roch: Should Orioles consider Mark Reynolds?
"I bring up his name because I'm told that one of the talk shows on sports-radio KTAR in Phoenix devoted significant air time to the idea of the Arizona Diamondbacks trading Reynolds to the Orioles for some pitching help." Right....because no one locally has ever brought it up. Certainly not the winner of the 2009 Mobbies for Best Orioles Blog.

If the O's were to somehow get the 2008 versions of Quentin and Floyd I'd be inclined to listen
but that can’t happen since it’s 2010 and neither Quentin or Floyd have looked particularly overwhelming of late. No thanks.

Hobgood
It is a commentary on Hobgood that no other team would part with a prospect for him. Basebell people were mystified when we took him. Only Joe Jordan was enthsiastic about the pick. Hobgood over 1 and a fraction season is demonstrating the consensus view of him as a round 3-5 pick. He wasn’t among the top 20 players in his league. Every time I hear his name I become upset. So, please don’t mention Hobgood again.
I probably shouldn't open this can of worms, but fuck it....
Why is there a rapid obsession amongst some O’s fans for Hobgood to be a bust? It almost seems as if some are actively hoping he does fail, just so they can pat themselves on the back and say ‘I told you so’. The kid just finished his 1st year of pro ball. He’s 1 year out of High School. Sure, he didn’t set the minors on fire, but any opinion to the effect that he is already a failure is ridiculous. Was he an overdraft? Sure. So what? It’s not like he was a projected 3rd rounder that we mysteriously took with our 1st overall pick. The kid was projected as a 1st round talent from what I remember. Lay off with the Hobgood hate. Let the effing kid develop.

he isn't a bust but he's looking crappy so far.
but there’s plenty of time for him to turn it around.

More on H
I don’t want him to fail. The reward for a bad year is hope engendered by a bright, shining draft pick. Matusz and Wieters were excellent picks. Our organization can’t afford to pick badly. We can’t afford mistakes. I hope that Hobgood turns out to be a good selection, but he seems to be the most visible face on a very bad draft year.
jealousy is the only emotion I feel now
that and a sudden desire to see the Giants win it all.

and I quote:
“Bruce Miles of the Chicago Daily Harold suggests that the White Sox trade Carlos Quentin and Gavin Floyd to the White Sox for Nick Markakis. What say you?”
So the Orioles don’t figure into this deal? Seriously, though, I say no way. Quentin is too volatile and inconsistent, too poor a defender, and too often injured. Floyd I like, but he’s no Lester or Lee. I keep Markakis here. Why trade one of our best and most consistent players for two with so many questions?
Wait, does this mean that if the White Sox don’t trade Markakis, we have to keep Quentin and Floyd? Wouldn’t it be less confusing just to trade Ferd Manfraud for Bruce Miles and a bag of doorknobs? Or just the bag, actually.

Requests to be guilty of falsification of public and private writing, breach of trust and criminal conspiracy to Edwin Baquero Alvarez, against whom orders 20 years in prison, and Luis Manuel Ruiz Méndez two years.
While lawyers for the player, Carlos Olivares and Edwin Terrero, asked to be sentenced to a refund of the RD $ 50 million allegedly defrauded and compensation of RD $ 125 million as just compensation for damages caused. The company owns the land INESME is represented in court by lawyers Phidias Aristy and Victor Juan Herrera.

Interesting read regarding the Giants
http://www.slate.com/id/2272083
"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man." ~ The Dude
Good read
The Giants are an interesting team, for sure. However, on some level the team is built around Lincecum, Cain and Posey. The fact that those 3 are prolly among the 20 best players* in the NL stacks the deck in their favor. Of course, the idea that old players are becoming the new market inefficiency (in a good way) was bandied about by Fangraphs last winter. The Giants are a fun story, and I’m rooting for them for sure. Maybe it’s their color scheme.

let's compare the two; career track for Eminem right here
here’s old Eminem: cold, calculated lyrics, brutal and just really fucked up, but it still appeals to us. most importantly: NO FUCKING SINGING. the end of an era kind of came when D12 was formed.
after a bit of success: yeah he sounds a little whiny, but he still sounds like a BAMF doing it; kind of like Bone Thugs (who might just be my favorite group ever), he preaches that you be true to yourself which is one of the things that he’s failed to do, that struck a nerve with me, but I love the song. similar to Mockingbird, Like Toy Soldiers, and When I’m Gone; all songs that I love.
skipping a couple of steps, here’s modern Eminem: he’s got singing, pitiful lyrics, and probably worst of all, Rihanna. Would Rihanna have even been in the picture 10 years ago? this is what makes me mad, THAT’S NOT EMINEM, THAT’S SOME JASON DERULO BULLSHIT RIGHT THERE.

I wasn't aware
that there was a time Eminem didn’t whine…..besides the best rapper ever is Tech N9ne
Oh man Tech is great

The point was that Eminem has always been full of self pity, but he used to sound legit doing it, my example was Bone Thugs ’N Harmony; tough guys that could be straight about their feelings.

The realistic chance of us getting Adam Dunn free-agency is? Because if what I’ve heard is correct he will be a type-B free agent, so if we sign him, we won’t have to give the Nationals any compensation.

No, if he's type B,

I would rather stay with Wigginton at 1B than give Garrett Atkins another shot.

"You know how I get the safety? No safety so I went to hit Ray, and I lost...BAD" Chad Johnson on trying to block the great #52
true
But I think it was the result of a really low BABIP. My big concern about him is the drop in line drives.

If he batted .230 or so...that's an off year
but didn’t he hit .198 or something ridiculous?

222 BABIP

Still a 325 OBP despite 196 AVG. He’s not that bad.

pass
His defense at first mitigates his value.
And yes, the Nationals can offer him free agency, and receive compensation. (I believe he’s a Type B, so there would be no impact on the Orioles)
Librarians are hiding something
He'd most likely be a DH
with occasional starts at 1B, so I’ll take those few games of sub-par defense in exchange for 40 HR. Defense at 1B is probably the least important of any positional player anyway.
"You know how I get the safety? No safety so I went to hit Ray, and I lost...BAD" Chad Johnson on trying to block the great #52
I don't think he would sign to be a DH
If he was willing, I don’t think he signs with the Nationals 2 years ago. He is the perfect DH, but he wants to play defense.
Librarians are hiding something
I agree
but if we overpay and agree to give him a certain amount of 1B time, maybe he could be swayed.
"You know how I get the safety? No safety so I went to hit Ray, and I lost...BAD" Chad Johnson on trying to block the great #52
I'd be all for that.
40 homers in that lineup would look pretty sweet. I just think he would rather sign with a crappy team that will let him play first. Wait a minuter, the Orioles are a crappy team. Nevermind.
Librarians are hiding something
Although, his defense last year wasn't THAT bad. He may have learned something and adjusted.
I’m not too well versed on the numbers, but I see he had a .990 fielding % in over 1300 chances. The league average for 1Bmen was .993. He also sported a higher range factor per 9 and ranger factor per game than league average for 1B. It wouldn’t be ideal to have him as an everyday 1B, but I don’t think it would be nearly as bad as it may seem at first glance.
Although, I’ve been a hung Dunn honk for a long time. I love me some Big Donkey.

I was thinking of a potential trade
Adam Jones and Chris Tillman for Adrian Gonzalez. It would hurt to give those 2 up, but we could move Pie to CF, his more natural position, and hope Reimold’s season last year was an aberration and he’ll continue to improve on his rookie campaign. We could keep Corey Patterson as a 4th OF. I don’t even know if the Padres would want more than that or not, I’m sure we could throw in a lower level prospect.

I would be very reluctant to trade for either Adrian Gonzalez or Fielder
given that they will be free agents in 12 months. With or without either of those guys, the Orioles aren’t making the playoffs in 2011.

Someone is gonna have to go eventually
might as get some value for someone like Tillman before he turns into Hayden Penn or Daniel Cabrera and we get nothing. I know he’s only 21 and could turn out to be an ace, but he could just as easily go the other way.
"You know how I get the safety? No safety so I went to hit Ray, and I lost...BAD" Chad Johnson on trying to block the great #52
Eventually, yes, Britton is going to make his way into the rotation.
But he still needs to get some time in at AAA. Start the season off with Guts, Matusz, Arrieta, Tillman, & Bergesen. Maybe someone comes calling with an insane offer for Guts at the trade deadline? Or we can move Till or Jake for a positional prospect? The point being, I’d rather not see Britton start the year on the big league team. Give him some more time to hone his stuff. And there really isn’t any point in throwing $ at any of the FA pitchers unless their name is Cliff Lee because none of them are appreciably better than we the O’s already have ready to go barring injury.
