PrintMy apologies for the lateness of the open thread today. I was out late watching the Ravens lose and just woke up. Funny story, the lovely 2632 and I were enjoying a pre-game meal at Abbey Bistro Burger and we saw on the ESPN crawl a headline that said, "Man denied restraining order request for Tim Tebow, President Obama, and Jesus." We decided we also wouldn't mind a restraining order against Tim Tebow, and also Ben Roethlisberger.
Voting for the Mobbies ends today at 5 p.m., so today is the last day you'll have to deal with me mentioning it. Thanks to everyone who voted and don't forget to vote again today!
Question of the Day: I've heard our fearlessly sweatered leader mention a few times that he'd like to add a veteran starter to continue the mentoring work left unfinished by Mr. Kevin Millwod. Now I personally disagree with that sentiment, and you might, too. And I know I'm just asking for a barrage of "Cliff Lee" here, but if you absolutely had to bring in a new veteran starter for the 2011 Orioles, who would it be (besides the obvious)? -Andrew

Is it really already time for a "chill out, Andy's working on it" article?
Who out there is genuinely upset the Orioles haven’t already signed any free agents?
I don't know, man
I’m pretty pissed that Carl Crawford hasn’t been signed yet.

Your question is up, guys-who-already-here-at-the-crack-of-dawn
it is “How many times can you say Cliff Lee before I get irritated?”
I’m betting it is a lot.
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
I could tolerate a Freddy Garcia signing.
I also wouldn’t be upset if the O’s kicked the tires on Brad Penny or Brandon Webb. I’ve read mentions of Jon Garland and Aaron Harang, but I don’t really foresee either of them being worth the O’s trouble.

Garcia I do not want
actually, I’m looking at all of these guys and I’m getting a little blegh in my throat. I think Webb is in a different category, since he’s not going to be pitching until mid-season. But, really, Freddy Garcia? Jon Garland? Aaron Harang? They’re so meh I can’t even bring myself to say meh to them.
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
harang...

The real problem is that
the only guys who I’d entertain on here – Kuroda and de la Rosa – are almost certain to get multiyear deals. Do we want a veteran on a multiyear deal?
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
I def wouldn't want Kuroda on a multiyear deal
He’s already 35. De la Rosa will be 30 next year, which is relatively young for a Mentor, but I don’t know that I’d want to give him more than one year anyway.

unless you're were talking about Kuroda
in which case I don’t want to sign a 36 year old to a two year deal either.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990

are they trading a young gun for a bat? assuming no – then no. assuming yes – then you would probably have to look into it. Really I think I am fine without a “mentor”, “innings eater”, “etc.” next season. It just screams crap all over again to me.

He spent 8 years with the White Sox.
He has shown he can pitch in the AL. Face it, we aren’t going to sign Cliff Lee. We have to settle for the second tier guys. We can’t not sign pitchers just because they won’t dominate the AL east. There are only a handful of players that can do that. We’d be left with nothing. I think everyone is living in some fantasy land where all of our young starters are going to be Roy Halladay’s and such. I don’t have that much faith in them and think this team would benefit from having two dependable starters.

Except he only played in about 100 games I think. But he was the only DH better than Luke. His OBP was over 400 and his SLG was over 600.

And he was actually worth more fWAR than Luke or Ortiz,
despite playing in significantly fewer games.

I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
I would have been all for signing Pavano last year
but this year he might cost a bit more. He wouldn’t bother me. I still don’t understand the whole “we need to sign a vet pitcher” thing though. We have good options 1-5 already and a pretty veteran pitcher in Guthrie. What am I missing?
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
the thinking is that we need the depth to have at least 7 viable starters
because of injuries or ineffectiveness. But of course, if you sign a vet like Millwood and HE is ineffective, he’ll just sit around and eat up a roster spot all year, lest you look like some ungrateful monster for his mentoring and good personality.
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
I get that
but I also think Britton isnt far off. Also, i’m most afraid that we’d sign a vet and push Tillman or Arrieta back down to AAA because of it. If we want some depth, fine, but i’d like to see these guys actually be playing at the MLB level at this point. Sign a rehab guy like Bedard or Ducshererererer if we need depth for down the road.

that isn't really depth

We should sign Jamie Moyer, the most mentorial mentor of them all.

Oh, did I mention I dated Sigourney Weaver in college?
OK, maybe “dated” is too strong a word. I meant “knew who she was”— but then forgot about her til I was watching “Alien” in a movie theatre in 1980 or something and had this “Hey, wait a minute…” moment just about the time the creature jumped out of John Hurt’s chest.

I’ve only seen what you’ve seen (e.g., WBC from ‘06). Don’t like that style of swing unless a player is a plus or better runner, but he’s not. Sounds like he probably moves to 2b over here. Some scouts think he’ll continue to hit for average, some don’t. I’m more in the latter camp, and without power or plus speed he’ll have to maintain that high walk rate to be an everyday guy.

but if you absolutely had to bring in a new veteran starter for the 2011 Orioles, who would it be?
Jeff Francis?
Librarians are hiding something
The trouble
having thought about it….why on earth would any respectable veteran pitcher come to the toughest place to pitch in all of baseball for one year? They’re more likely to wreck their reputation than improve it, so they’d want multiple years at least – and probably enough money to dull the pain. And when is the last time a decent free agent starting pitcher came to Baltimore from elsewhere?
Uhh…not counting Sir Sidney Ponson? Would you buy Pat Hentgen in 2001? He wasn’t all that great, but before him it’s Jimmy effing Key.
Nope, if we’re looking for someone to eat 150-200 innings, we’re gonna need to trade for him. There ain’t nobody coming to pitch in Baltimore – especially on a short contract – unless he doesn’t have any say in the matter.
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.

Ah, so you are warming on Javy Vazquez, i see?
I think Francis could be had, frankly. I think the issue is to figure out what the Orioles are looking for in this situation:
a) a guy to simply eat 200 innings, effectiveness be damned
b) a mentor
c) a guy who has some upside, though this might come at the risk of not being able to throw 150 innings (Harden, Duchscherer, Bedard, and now Francis)
d) a bulldog

Dude i understand.
I did not say anything on here but i went out and payed my respect to our veterans. I really don’t care how you show respect to the veterans as long as you do. The people i do have a problem with are the people who go to school and refuse to not only say the pledge but to show respect to the people fighting for the world to experience what we have. Now i don’t want to start some political argument but i feel that if you don’t want to say the pledge then at least show your respect to our veterans. Many of my relatives have been in the Marine Corp and maybe i will too but it just pisses me off when people sit there and make fun off the speech, refuse to say it, and are cruel to the people who have friends and family who are currently in the Middle East or in another active military location.
"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
Don't say the Pledge of Allegiance?
It’s called Freedom of Speech, and also the freedom to stay silent. Have you heard of the case in which the teacher forced an atheist student to say the pledge despite the fact that “Under God” directly contradicted her world view?
I care about the vets but I don’t think anyone should be ridiculed or hated because they don’t want to say the fricking Pledge of Allegiance.
Where are my shoelaces?
And further
The men and women who are fighting now are supposedly fighting for the ideals of this country, and Freedom of Speech is one of the core ideals. If we’re really fighting on behalf of our country (whatever you may believe), then preserving Freedom of Speech should be hailed, not hated.
Where are my shoelaces?
I understand.
Have you ever heard an atheist go on a rant about veterans? I have. Every fucking day. Its not bout not saying the pledge. If you don’t want to say it fine but at least stand up. At least show your respect. You don’t have to say the pledge, you don’t have to say Under God, all i ask is that you show respect to those who wish to say it, those who want to express their love of their country.
"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
And its entirely within your rights to stay seated as well
It has nothing to do with disrespecting veterans. And i fail to see what someone being an atheist has to do with ‘a rant about veterans’
if anything
it was those assholes that went to all those funerals for dead veterans and held up signs like “God hates fags.” they came to our school a couple of years ago because we had a gay kid in our musical. not a good scene…

But that's infringing even more on the freedoms that we fought for in the Revolutionary War.
You should let other people show their respect but it is completely your right to stay seated.
Where are my shoelaces?
I am sorry that i went on this little rant.
My point is that if you want to sit then shut up and let others say the pledge. I guess i might be a little bias since generation after generation of my family have been involved in all types of military activity. I just feel like every time someone is disrespectful during the pledge that their deeds are being forgotten.
Not all of the Freedoms we have today were fought for during the Revolutionary War. For example yes we fought for Freedom of Speech but originally it was only for political views. Every year it seems that people manage to make Freedom of Speech a much bigger topic then it really is.
So if we have truly have Freedom of Speech can i go up to a Federal Officer and curse them out and not get arrested?
"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
Yes, but you said they shouldn't sit.
Make up your mind.
No, we do not make Freedom of Speech a bigger topic than it is, sorry. It is in the first amendment of the US Constitution and CANNOT be ignored. Freedom of Speech is an ideal on which our country is based, and it can’t just be thrown aside. No freedom of speech, no America, sorry.
When is the last US history course you took? Freedom of Speech was created because under the British monarchy we had none. And what does “political reasons” even mean?
Where are my shoelaces?
My point is that if you want to sit then shut up and let others say the pledge.
Separation of church and state, dude. Nobody should have to say “under god” at their school in the morning, and no one should be forced, at that age, to go against their entire peer group to avoid saying it.
“Under god” didn’t even exist in the pledge until the McCarthy era.

the “frickin” pledge of allegiance is pretty much the most American thing out there, eventually can’t you just nut up and say it? it seems like a pretty trivial compromise that could end a lot of stupid debates. sure you can not say it, it’s your choice, but it seems like it’d be a whole lot easier to just go ahead and compromise. yes it’s the easy way out, no, it’s not Atheistic, but after all, it’s not like you have to stop being one, it’s something extremely petty that seems to be overplayed by people who are easily offended.

Theres lots of people who have perfectly legitimate reasons for not wanting to say it
and those reasons are far from trivial and should be respected just as much as the reasons for people to want to say the pledge.
hell they don't have to say it if they don't want to
but if you’re not going to say it, don’t make a big deal about it. there are just a lot of people who go right on with their conversations during the middle of the national anthem pledge of allegiance. now that pisses me off. I hate to be the perceived asshole about it but it just seems like such a small deal to me.

Don’t generalize in that way. Being an atheist doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t want to say the Pledge. There are Israelis at my school who do not sing the National Anthem, and I have no problem with that. Personally, I don’t sing Israel’s national anthem, either.
Forcing people to say the Pledge of Allegiance is un-American. Call it unpatriotic if you want, but in my mind it’s even less patriotic to infringe on someone’s natural born rights as an American.

I know you're one of the youngin's here...
so I won’t go full-torch on you – but look it up first. The original Pledge was written by Francis Bellamy (a pinko socialist integrationist) in 1892. It has been modified three more times since then, the last time in 1954 (the height of the Red Scare – those Godless Commies) to include the “under God” line.
It’s not “the most American thing out there”, which would actually be, you know, America. It might be one of the most patriotic things we essentially require minors to do in public schools, but I still prefer the Constitution (post 14th Amendment).

So, what,
the contest winner should be determined simply by which site has the largest and most active group of users? Isn’t being a useful source of information for non-team fans a lot more important than just having a ton of people who use your forums?
"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
yeah, exactly
The contest isn’t who has the largest Internet community. Nobody denies OH has more posters. The contest is who the public thinks is the best blog. CC won.
And, putting aside his high virtuous character, I have no clue why the Scottie character wanted to reach out to the Son of Sam Horns. They have nothing to gain by voting for OH because they’re not on the ballot. He should have reached out to blogs actually on the ballot. If You Give a Girl Cookie, for example.
Your mother.
Daniel is right
This wasn’t even a poll about who the public thinks is better – it was a contest about who the participants of a poll think is better. Voting multiple times was encouraged. OH wasn’t able to leverage their community to get the job done.
Maybe if they had reached out to the broader LocalSportsHangout community and used the ten LSH communities to influence the voting…. not sure why they didn’t do that. They had ten cities worth of knowledgeable, respectful sports fans to help them out. What gives?
Well, the Scottie character said that would violate his "standards and integrity"
but if he did reach out to say, Baltimore Sports and Life, who won under the Ravens and Terps categories, would that be such an immoral act. It seems like good marketing rather than shady behavior.
Your mother.
Exactly my point
Basically, once OH takes social networking seriously, they’ll have this thing in the bag. Until then, they’re pretty much like someone’s grandma who’s trying to understand the internet.
Ahahahaha.

I love old people.
Where are my shoelaces?
Also, reaching out the broader LocalSportsHangout community probably wouldn't work.
You need a quid pro quo approach. Other LocalSportsHangout could vote for OH but what would they get in return? They should have cross advertised with sites actually on the poll.

maybe because most of those links don't work and those communities don't exist. tee hee.

I liked it better when we basically ignored them for the past four days and let them work themselves into a lather
and CC still came out on top. I think I’d be content to let them have a huge pity party over there without any further encouragement.
Oh, allow me..
What’s an “Orioles Hangout?” Am I less of a person for not knowing stuff about it, or that it even existed before this whole kerfuffle?

I also didn't know that it existed
and now that the voting is over, I will go back to not caring that they exist. The writing here is informative, and the interaction is awesome. I am a more informed and happy Orioles fan because I found this place. If other people feel that way about Orioles Hangout, then more power to them.

I apologize ifmy above comment sounded wrong
I’ve just been in a really pissy mood lately and seem to bitch about everything… I didnt mean to imply what I’m sure I did. Sometimes I just get grumpy old man syndrome…
