I recommend James "The Beaaaaar Jew" Shields

Anything but Big Game.

This PostseasonTV thing is kind of cool I've decided

the third base camera is focusing on James Shield pacing around the dugout, and he looks really, really pissed. He was talking to someone else, very animated and saying “Fuck” a lot, although you couldn’t hear it, lip-read it.

And as I type this, the Rangers hit a home run and a bunch of guys in the Rangers dugout are very audibly yelling “Fuck yeah! Fuck yeah!”

"Fuck Yeah" was also clearly audible on the TBS broadcast.

I have mixed feelings about that

I don’t blame people for not going to Orioles games. Everyone has to deal in their own way. When the O’s start winning again, yeah there will be bandwagon fans, but I don’t really consider people who were run off by this team and who return to be bandwagon. Besides that, do you want no so-called bandwagon fans and a half empty stadium for a first place team? I don’t.

I agree

but as I’ve been a “true believer” for so damn long, I just get pissed knowing how hard a ticket it is going to be when they do start winning.

Although – it occured to me last night when listening to the awful callers on 105.7 (debating Cal v Ray for bigger Baltimore icon), shit – this team sold out all those games when the Ravens were a novelty/not very good. Is there going to be that kind of hardcore market again for this team when they do become respectable?

We might not get 81 straight sellouts.

I would bet we can average 30k+ instead of just over 20k for a season, though. Sellouts for most of the summer and on weekends, maybe still lighter attendance (20k instead of 10k or less) on weeknights in April, May and September against bad teams. That’s respectable and a lot of extra revenue, and a more enjoyable experience for all fans.

That's probably a pretty reasonable number.

It will be interesting to see exactly who comes back (new v old fans) since a lot of the hate the past decade has been directed at ownership, which we know isn’t going to be changing any time soon. I know a lot of people that have sworn that they won’t come back until Angelos is gone.

by TerroristFistJab on Oct 7, 2010 5:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think much of the Angelos hate crowd will be lured back by winning baseball.

Especially if there’s a period of sustained winning baseball.

The WNST crowd might never be happy until someone not named Angelos is owning the Orioles, but I would guess that most of the people who are mad at Angelos are just really mad about the losing and they see him, deservedly so, as a big factor for why things got so bad for so long.

I think winning again will blunt the anger for the losing, though.

My only issue with bandwagon fans

is that it makes it tough to buy the cheap tickets and sit in the good seats.

I’ve always said to myself (and to anyone who would listen) that when we’re back in contention and going to the playoffs, that I’ll be driving the bandwagon. And everyone and anyone is welcome aboard. You can ride shotgun, too.

Whoever was just explaining his idea on replay, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Guy says they shouldn’t allow replay “unless a run would have scored” or something.

Come on – baseball is a game of situations. Replay is ultimately a must to preserve the integrity of the situations. The team that actually made the play deserves to have the favorable situation their play earned. Stick a 5th ump in the booth. Close call, the four umps on the field conference, the 5th guy calls down and says, “Hey guys, you blew that one,” call’s reversed, the end.

Is "Jeter'd" an entry in Urban Dictionary? If not, it should be.

I don’t know exactly how the definition would read, but I’m sure it could be applicable to many situations other than baseball.

i.e. “Did you get that girl’s number?”
“I totally Jeter’d that shit!”

In that context, Jetering that shit means you invited her to your penthouse, scored, and didn't validate her parking.

Or, in this context...

“How’d you do on the SAT?”
“Man, I didn’t know any of the answers. I just filled in random circles. I totally Jeter’d that shit!”

I guess the definition could entail something along the lines of...

“To succeed in spite of douchiness” or something….

Hebrew vulgarity!

My department. When I was bored in Hebrew class I used to look through the Hebrew-English dictionary for Hebrew curse words.

Ways to curse out Derek Jeter in Hebrew (transliteration):

Ben Zonah – son of a bitch/whore
KuSemek – motherf-er (perfect for a Yankees player)
Mamzer – bastard
Shak Li Batahat! – kiss my ass!
Or, to keep it PG: Stom Tapeh – SHUT UP!

Sorry if that was too much cursing, but hey, you wanted to know!

(I pulled out my dictionary for this…)

I'm back. YAY SUMMER!

I feel like that should Wieters doing all of that, not him.

Which reminds me: why doesn’t a two-player organization like the Pujols-Halladay League have to qualify by defeating the Japanese Central League champs in order to play the AL winners?
