PrintToday is my dad's birthday. Happy birthday, dad! -Stacey
Recaps from the last game of the year can be found at Orioles.com, The Sun, MLive.com, and MASNsports (w/post-game Buck).
Orioles Insider: Roberts talks about headaches; hit himself in helmet with bat
"I just have some lack of balance and some headaches, and just stuff that hasn’t been a whole lot of fun," Roberts said. "So unfortunately I haven’t been able to obviously get out there and play, but we’re still working on trying to get all the results and figure out what’s going on."
School of Roch: The Buck really stops here
"Like I told the players, you need to get away from it," he said. "We're so close to it every day. It's right there in your face every day. Sometimes, you've got to back off and take a breath and look at things realistically. I've been very fortunate to have some players who helped, who played real well while I was here. Pitched better. And like I said before, I think the same thing would have happened regardless. They've had an impact. We hope it continues."
Orioles Insider: Attendance low reached at Camden Yards
"The 2010 final attendance for 80 home dates (Friday’s doubleheader is counted as one admission) was 1,733,019. That's the lowest since the 1988 Orioles, who lost a franchise-record 107 games, drew 1,660,738 at Memorial Stadium."
Orioles Insider: MacPhail won't approach Angelos about extension
"I don’t think it’s fair to put him in that position. The deal was the deal and we’ll talk about it, as far as I’m concerned, when it’s over," MacPhail said.

Where's article about
the fans being disoriented by an unfamiliar feeling — being sad to see the exciting, hope-filled September games come to an end?
It’s the most surprising thing to happen in Orioles baseball in a decade.
Has there ever been a cooler Oriole than Eddie Murray? I mean, just straight up cool. Like a bad, suave dude. You know what I'm sayin'. COOL. SC 7/24/08
Happy Birthday, Stacey's dad!

Haha...well it was only a matter of time for Jay Cutler
He was bound to realize he isn’t a real quarterback at some point. Worked out well in the CC pool with all but like 3 people picking CHI over NYG.

Yeah, I realized I was rolling the dice starting Cutler. But my alternative was Schaub, sans Andre Johnson.
Wouldn’t have matter much anyway. We play individual defensive players in my league and my opponent started some LB from Car named James Anderson. Never even heard of the dude before. So what does he do? He get multiple sacks, a fumble recovery, and a shit-ton of tackles, resulting in some ungodly amount of points.

But I had Tomlinson on the bench yesterday. Oops. I still won but those 30 points would have been nice to have.

I picked CHI out of a lack of confidence in the giants
I never lost sight of the fact that Cutler sucks.
They outplayed Tennessee last week
They just have this guy….let’s call him Eli Manning……who still hasn’t discovered that interceptions != touchdowns. Other than that, they could have won that game. Giants pass rush was fuckin deadly last nite.

Game 7 of the ALCS is scheduled
for Oct. 23rd and game 1 of the WS is scheduled for Oct. 27th. Am I the only one that thinks that is moronic? It’s MLB, not the NBA… get out there and play baseball! And then they wonder why games are delayed by freezing drizzle… um maybe the Boys of Summer aren’t supposed to be playing in November?
It'd be great if all of this was occuring in Minneapolis.
Remind me again why they play outside?

Well, with next season's schedule they've moved Opening Day up a bit to keep the WS out of November.
However, that could be more easily accomplished by, y’know, not having such a ludicrous number of off days for the duration of the postseason. Which they probably do because they want to set up games for nights where more people will watch them or something – whatever. Baseball fans will watch the fucking games. But I guess that’s not the fan they’re targeting.

Manager of the Angels floated that as one of his ideas
That, a 156 game schedule, and scheduled doubleheaders, but most of all, get rid of so many off days in the playoffs.
"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 off days are stupid
Part of baseball is getting through the grind of playing every day, then suddenly they get to the playoffs and they can basically set their rotations because there are so many off days. It’s ridic.

seriously... when did this all start?
It’s ridiculous because it allows teams to go into the playoffs with a 3-man rotation. You play all year with a 5-man rotation then suddenly that doesnt matter in the playoffs? Give guys too many days off, and it just really isn’t baseball anymore.
And, yes, I really am just still bitter that the Yankees won last year.
Anyone who isn't bitter the Yankees won last year is an asshole.

Hey guys
baseball is over and I am sad. I listened to the end of the season in a Wegman’s parking lot in Williamsport, PA while terrifyingly hungover. Then I came into work this morning and had to drink two glasses of champagne. This has helped ease the burden of the offseason considerably.
"There's going to be a general lack of toast in the neighbourhood this morning. Many many bewildered breakfast faces."
Jeez...I wish I HAD to drink two glasses of champagne every day at work.

I’m not saying you can’t. I was talking about my personal values, and I don’t want to get drunk or high or whatever. It’s not my philosophy—I may do it when I’m older, but I actually like focusing on studies, homework, and other ways to spend my time. Sorry if that’s “self-righteous” to you.
And by the way, when someone says “no offense intended” then they’re clearly insulting someone and the obvious reaction is to be offended.

I really, really don't mean to insult
and I do apologize regardless of whether or not you took offense.

implies that you thinking drinking is immoral. Its a perfectly acceptable decision to make (especially since you’re still in high school), but it doesnt mean that theres anything wrong with choosing to.

I work 2 blocks from Cigar City Brewing Company
which makes Jai Alai and Humidor, amongst others… and their ‘tasting room’ is really just a bar connected to the brewery with like 12 varietals that they change weekly on tap. It brings new meaning to happy hour.
I miss Jai Alai on draft.
That’s some good-ass beer. I didn’t like much about Tampa, but the beer scene is awesome.
Agreed...
There are so many spots that do the craft beer thing around here. It makes a man wonder how he survived on Natty Ice in college. It’s funny when someone shows up at World of Beer in Westchase and orders a Bud Light, and then gets angry when they don’t carry it. Try ordering a real beer…

Oh and here you go:
“In Western culture, the practice of assigning pink to an individual gender began in the 1920s13 or earlier14. From then until the 1940s, pink was considered appropriate for boys because being related to red it was the more masculine and decided color, while blue was considered appropriate for girls because it was the more delicate and dainty color, or related to the Virgin Mary.151617 Since the 1940s, the societal norm was inverted; pink became considered appropriate for girls and blue appropriate for boys, a practice that has continued into the 21st century.

One of my favorite stories...
In kindergarten we had coloring time every day. The teacher had a rule that if you used one color too much, she’d take away all of the other colors and that’s all you’d get for the day. Now I was always the good kid, but one day she came up to me and said I was using too much purple and if I didn’t stop she’d take away my other crayons. I looked up at her and defiantly said “go right ahead. I don’t want them anyway.”. It was probably the most awesome thing i’ve ever done.

my first car was a 77 Volvo
there was some weird material prickly in the seats l that would occasionally sting you.. wtf? There was no AC, and even worse you HAD to leave the heat on or the engine would over heat. The speedometer just stopped once you got to 50mph. Although, my sister had decked it out many cool-at-the-time Grateful Dead stickers.
Having a shitty first car is one of the great parts of growing up
I drove a 1988 Dodge Omni for several years after it had been passed down from my mother to my brother to me. It had 80ish horsepower, was a five-speed manual, and was just an all-around awesome car. I drove it into the ground and it never left me anywhere.
I had a 93 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4
slightly more than 80hp…….

Didn't get to post all weekend,
but I just wanted to say that I got to see the O’s win twice in one day. Weird, huh? I wonder when that last happened.
During the second game, with the 2-0 score, I was all excited to start/join the “KO-JI!” chants, and got my dad to join in. But then that dude hit a homer, and the next guy got a hit, and the drunk guys in front of us told us to stop the chant and just clap, since the former obviously wasn’t working. (Oh, baseball superstition…) So we reluctantly switched to clapping, not wanting to piss off a group of drunks, and Koji thankfully got a strikeout for the save.

And people were saying to stop after the homer too, because it clearly wasn’t working. I really love baseball superstitions. They’re so silly, and yet so perfect.

Former Orioles in the playoffs
a comprehensive list: to potentially modify your rooting interests:
Chad Moeller is on the Yankees, but almost certainly not on their LDS roster.
Lance Cormier is in the Tampa Bay bullpen.
Aubrey Huff, Chris Ray, Eli Whiteside, Mike Fontenot, and Javy Lopez are on the Giants.
Birdland savior EOF is on the Braves.
Jayson Werth and Danyz Baez is on the Phillies, so you know they have my fan support.
Arthur Rhodes is on the Reds, which totally blows my mind. What team does Leo Gomez still play for?

Stacy's Mom
I’ve heard that song a million times. I kinda like it because my daughter’s name is Stacey, but I had no clue who sang it or if there was a video. So you got me curious, and I just You Tubed the music video. Why didn’t anyone ever tell me Rachel Hunter was in it, looking hot as hell? I’ve been in love with her forever. Had several fist fights with Rod Stewart over her, in fact.
I've also heard that song a million times
Because my name is Stacey and people think it’s funny to sing a song to me about my mom having it going on.

Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
Remember...
I’m still coming out of the Zorn/Cerratto/Gibbs2.0 mind-set where “good” and “servicable” are the same.
I thought Kolb didn’t force things in a game that was close, he checked down after going through all of his reads and made several nice plays to avoid being sacked.
In other words – he looked good for a guy that was concussed week one and was told he was worthless by all the Vick-lovers after two games.

Troy Aikman was just ripping into him during the broadcast.
Honestly I thought he looked like an obvious backup. Never took a shot down the field, always looking for the check down, got out of the pocket earlier than he needed to every time, etc.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
Sure...
it’s easy to throw deep when you have Michael Irvin and Alvin Harper. Troy just ignored that the Skins had bodies on Jackson and Maclin all day. He thought that the way the clock started in that delay of game debacle was “wrong”. His judgement = whack.

There were numerous replays that showed Maclin and Jackson open downfield
And Kolb threw a short completion. He throws those balls to an open Maclin or Jackson, the game goes to the Eagles because those guys are FAST.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
Open is relative..
isn’t it? Many of those check downs came with Orakpo and Carter bearing down on him.
I think its important to be able to throw downfield, obv, but if Reid doesn’t fuck up a 4th and 1ft we’re not even talking about this.

He still could have tried.

I'll dig through the numbers again when I get home...
but I suspect that Kolb was making a good read the majority of the time. Schmidtt was killing every time he touched the ball and McCoy looked like Brian Westbrook out there until he coughed the ball up.
Throwing deep is kinda overrated IMHO – do it to keep ‘em honest, but you can’t up and heave the ball in that cold rainy wind and expect good things to happen all of the time.

He needed to throw deep when they were behind with limited time left
But he kept eating the clock with those short completions. In the beginning—OK, there’s still time left, let him throw some short passes, but as we were nearing the end he still was too afraid to throw the ball deep. They needed big plays and they needed them FAST.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
You do realize that if they...
had scored the TD before half (which they would have done) those short passes had them in range for a FG down the stretch to win.
I favor a more conservative approach to passing anyways, so I doubt I’d ever come around, but hey – we can both enjoy the win!

True, but that was Andy Reid being incompetent
And thank god for that. Still, they didn’t get that TD, so the short passes weren’t very smart.
There’s an Eagles fan in my grade who was arguing that Kolb beat McNabb because he completed more passes and had a higher passer rating, but those completions were only because he was throwing short passes. At least D-Mac threw it downfield and gave the Redskins a shot.
I still said fuck it, look at the scoreboard, man.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
You tell 'em!
Especially since the Eagles used short, easier to complete passes in lieu of running the ball much when McCoy got hurt and they needed to move down field with the option of a long play/clock stoppage.

Reid has always been a bad playcaller, and he really fucked up when they needed good playcalling.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
Yeah I have to agree - they were both open a lot
he just chose to check down instead. Never took any chances until the last play of the game.

You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990

Birdo was originally described thusly: “He thinks he’s a girl and he spits eggs from his mouth. He’d rather be called Birdetta”
"There's going to be a general lack of toast in the neighbourhood this morning. Many many bewildered breakfast faces."
WRONG
Birdo (Japanese: キャサリン Kyasarin) is a recurring character in the Mario series. In fact, there have been multiple characters known as “Birdo,” similar to the multiple Yoshis that have appeared throughout history. The concept of a Birdo character was not solidified until the same pink Birdo began appearing in various spin-off titles. The central Birdo character (that appears in the Mario Kart series, the Mario Party series and the various sports titles) wears a red bow and a diamond ring. She also has some sort of relationship with Yoshi, as they are the automatic partners in various competitions. She is a good friend of Daisy, Toadette, and Petey Piranha. Other Birdo characters have resided in Subcon, in Nimbus Land, and other locales.

It was in the Mario 2 handbook. Birdo, at least the Mario 2 version, was a boy.
Then again, Mario 2 was a dream. Why the fuck was Mario dreaming up cross-dressing, egg spitting dinosaur enemies?
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
'Cause it wasn't actually Super Mario 2.
Unlike the majority of other Mario titles, Super Mario Bros. 2 was not developed from the ground up. Rather, it is a redesign of the Japanese Family Computer Disk System game Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic. Nintendo’s original sequel to Super Mario Bros. was released in Japan as Super Mario Bros. 2 in 1986; however, because of that game’s difficulty and its close similarities to the original game, Nintendo decided not to release it in the West at that time. Because Super Mario Bros. 2 is a redesign of a non-Mario game, the game differs greatly from the original Super Mario Bros., though many elements from the game have since become part of the Mario series canon. The redesigned Western version of Super Mario Bros. 2 was released in Japan in 1992 under the title Super Mario USA (スーパーマリオUSA, Sūpā Mario Yū Esu Ē?), and in 1993 a 16-bit remake of the original Japanese version was released to the rest of the world as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels as part of Super Mario All-Stars.

there is this outstanding Angelos article in the sun
with this great tidbit (among many, many others):
When short-term buys, such as first baseman Garrett Atkins, have gone badly, MacPhail hasn’t heard rebukes from Angelos. “He has never called me and said, ‘Why the hell did you do that?’” he says.
I think that calls Angelos’ baseball acumen into as much question as anything else!

The phrase "Angelos' baseball acumen" is to sports what "the Jackie Chan oeuvre" is to cinema.

In case anyone wonders
I was just looking at the O’s wins breakdowns, they had non-losing records against:
BOS 9-9
CHW 4-3
CLE 3-3
DET 5-5
LAA 6-0
TEX 6-4
WSN 4-2
Record against the AL East: 24-48
Record against everyone else: 42-48

I'll be honest...
I forgot how bad we must have been in the time BB – I thought we easily had a .500 record out of the AL East after all this winning we’d been doing.

Can't wait to see The Social Network
and Never Let Me Go.
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.
saw the social network on Friday
Thought it was solid.

AHHH!!

I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
This why unless it's freaking hot, I always have a blanket around my legs when using my laptop.

I used to keep it on my legs
But my old computer was breaking down and it overheated way too much so I stopped. I always work on a desk now, even with a new computer.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
Stat nerd question
Is anyone here a member of SABR? Is it worth joining? Every year I think about giving it a go, but I always end up deciding not to.
