PrintIt's Sunday. There's not much going on now in Orioles Village, so talk amongst yourselves.
I'm shakin' the dust of this crummy little Open Thread off my feet and I'm gonna see the world. Italy, Greece, the Parthenon, the Colosseum. Then, I'm comin' back here to go to college and see what they know. And then I'm gonna build things. I'm gonna build airfields, I'm gonna build skyscrapers a hundred stories high, I'm gonna build bridges a mile long...

Rainy day JJ Highlights
Not as smooth as Cesar, but the dude can range. They play at similar depth, too, so it should be an easy transition for Brian. Offensive highlights at SS? Wha? Liking this alot. I’m ignoring the error clips and, ouch, the CS clip (out…by…2 miles).

Reynolds the Recruiter
Read on twitter this morning that Reynolds is trying to recruit Laroche to join him on the O’s, and that the hangup could be a 3rd year on the contract….
I wanted a 1 year deal too
but, I figured it would take 3. I’m hoping he’s willing to take a 2 year deal, if not a 1 year deal.

Hopefully
Adam LaRoche is entering his age 31 season in 2011, and has a career OPS+ of 114. He was once traded for Mike Gonzalez.
He doesn’t scream 3 year worthy to me.

If we land a deal with someone big (Fielder)
just shedding the money would be top priority, maybe getting a prospect or two out of it would be ok

Fielder is the guy I would target
Still young, 27 in 2011, career OPS+ of 139. I know he is a big man, but I think with the 2 big teams out of the bidding due to Teixeira and Adrian Gonzalez, the Orioles have a chance. I think the Cubs are going to be the big competition for him.

Buster Olney
has a post up about changing divisoins, citing the Orioles and Jays as reasons why.
I don’t have Insider, but for those of you who do…. here’s the link.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
*by which I meant overhauling baseball's divisions
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
the gist of it
is that Olney thinks (and I totally agree) that baseball should go division-less and let the 4 best teams from each league go to the playoffs, and I assume that it would get rid of the unbalanced schedule, too. Nothing groundbreaking there, just Buster’s opinion working.
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 like the old division setup
2 divisions per league with 2 wild cards, making it possible for Boston, New York and Tampa to all make the playoffs. There can still be a form of unbalanced schedule, though pretty light (10 per against non divisional opponents, 15 against divisional opponents (eliminate interleague play).
It would be nice to interesting to see divisional revenue sharing, but that won’t solve the confederate money issue either. I would also like media contracts to be split up but not gate receipts.
If you look at those UZR ratings or whatever
Can you explain the confederate money issue

THat's exactly what I believe in
Go back to the “first” and “second” division.

….or are you looking at the wrong week…
three people took oakland, two took buffalo, and five picked washington.

that's a serious misuse of the word "literally"

You didn't capitalize the first word of the sentence or add a period at the end.
Are we writing essays here?
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
pet peeve of mine
no offense intended. :)
there’s a rampant plague of people misusing literally these days, e.g., “i literally died laughing.” really? so how are you alive to type your post, then?
i withdraw.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
I'm with you on that
That word is literally my number one misuse pet peeve.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
But that's not at all the way I used it. Please clarify the problem with my usage.
I said he was literally the worst kicker I’ve ever seen – he is.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
really?
you have never, in your entire life, seen a worse kicker than gano? I find that hard to believe.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
Maybe I should have added "NFL" after "a worse"
but no I’ve actually never seen a worse NFL kicker.
Regardless though my usage is not at all comparable to the example you posted above about laughing so hard that I died. I think what happened is you just assumed that I had seen a worse kicker (not sure why since Gano is fucking awful) and so I MUST be using the word incorrectly.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
if you had added NFL, i'd have had no problem
your original statement basically said to me that you’d never watched a pop warner, HS, or college football game in your life, since invariably Gano would be better than 90% of those kickers.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
Ehhhhh
I think you got a little overexcited about correcting somebody’s language. It’s not even close to a “serious misuse.” If my seemingly obvious (since we’re watching the NFL afterall – if I said Daniel Cabrera was the worst pitcher I’d ever seen nobody would assume I was including fucking little league would they???) exclusion of the word NFL was the problem then your “serious misuse” was just as much of an exaggeration.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
not if you said DCab was the worst pitcher ever
the problem is if you say he’s literally the worst pitcher ever.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
lol
I think this is a problem with your interpretation of the word. Nobody else in the world would assume I was including pee wee kickers in my statement. We’re watching NFL football.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
it's not an interpretation
that’s what the word means. when you use it, you have to choose your words carefully, as you’re highlighting an absolute.
you can assert nobody else would assume you were including pee wee kickers, and you’re probably right. those folks would, like me, assume you were just using the word incorrectly.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
It's all about context.
But again I just think you were super excited to put on your professor hat and correct somebody’s writing. It’s cool – some people get off on that. I’m just saying I don’t think it was a “serious misuse” like you said.
Again I absolutely meant to highlight an absolute and I think most people would just assume I excluded “NFL” because it was unnecessary due to the context. Evidently those people don’t include you.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
ahahaha
But again I just think you were super excited to put on your professor hat and correct somebody’s writing.
talk about making assumptions!
I often point out stuff in published stories on this blog (which should be proofread), but I rarely correct stuff in gamethread posts. As I noted above, it’s a pet peeve of mine.

as long as it’s not constant and unthinking.
by Joltin Joe Orsulak on Dec 12, 2010 2:30 PM EST up reply actions
but the whole point of the word "literally"
is that it says, “this is not hyperbole…..i’m serious about this.”
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
only if you either qualify with "NFL", or have never seen an amateur football game
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
So you can make all kinds of assumptions about what I meant
except for the obvious one?
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
dude, it's not about making an assumption. it's about what the word means.
saying he’s literally the worst kicker you’ve ever seen is very different from saying he’s literally the worst NFL kicker you’ve ever seen. again, by using the word, you are by definition calling attention to what it modifies. you’re saying, “this may seem like exaggeration, but it’s not.”
i’m not going to continue this, it’s a bore. if you want to misuse the word, be my guest.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
You're literally the most nitpicking grammar nazi I've ever seen
gotta side with O’sFan on this one. I have many grammar pet peeves as well, but you’re going too far on this one, in my opinion.
which you are certainly entitled to.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
I still think
that it’s legitimate as a purposeful misuse for effect … like, it’s funny, and meant to be funny, when someone says “my head literally exploded” because it’s obviously not true but conveys the intended meaning with a nice dose of irony.
The problem is that it’s become so common that people are no longer using it intentionally for effect … many don’t even realize what it means (I actually see this in papers by upper-level college students, where this kind of usage is obviously not appropriate) and thus becomes annoying.
by Joltin Joe Orsulak on Dec 12, 2010 2:43 PM EST up reply actions
see, i don't think it's a purposeful misuse
when someone says, “my head literally exploded”, to me they’re showing they don’t know the meaning of the word. I don’t know anyone who intentionally does that to be “ironic” or whatever.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott

I would NEVER argue that Brady isn't an incredible QB
Both in reality AND fantasy. That was NEVER the point.
The point was since I had BOTH Brady and Vick, and Vick was going to be a gamble for me, I would roll the dice and go with my gut and get rid of the “big-named” QB (at the time) Brady and then move Vick into my QB1 role and get a couple of assets in return for Brady. I’d be more than pleased to have either of them as my QB, but I’d hate to have one on my bench while I could upgrade at a couple other positions.
You just despise Vick for stuff that has nothing to do with football, but its not debatable he’s been a total stud this year…. not debatable at all.

You said that you won your fantasy league even though I said “it was an awful decision to put my stock in Vick.”
1) That isn’t what I said at all. I just said it wasn’t worth the gamble.
2) If you won the league with Vick, you’d have won the league with Brady too since you traded him for Jackson who has only had a couple of big games.

"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott

everyone needs to have followed my exact path to rooting for my sports teams or i can’t accept it.
i.e., i didn’t even follow the NFL until the Ravens came to town, still don’t follow the NBA or NHL, but have loved the O’s from the get-go.
i’m with Duck, though. what is it like rooting for the Orioles AND the Redskins? that must be hell. don’t tell me you’re a wizards fan too, or I might break down crying for your sport’s soul.
in my lifetime of rooting for the Orioles and Skins,
….I have seen two World Series (the team went 1-1, and I attended one of the playoff games in ‘83), and four Super Bowl appearances (three of them won). Sure, it’s been a while, but all things are cyclical.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
yeah, but, um...
playoff appearances aren’t usually THIS cyclical. the level of ineptitude from those two franchises boggles. yeah, the skins have made the playoffs in the last decade, but it’s easier in the NFL, and it’s not like they won anything. even a single game. i’m thinking of the doug collins year here.
oh, yeah, they've been inept
the point is, i’ve watched both teams make multiple championship appearances. it’s much easier for me to stay loyal than for someone who was born after all that happened.

Holy crap.
33-0 at half???
I don’t have much tolerance for stupid. Or cheese on food that doesn’t need it. -duck
Too much of a blowout to remain on TV, I guess
The good news is, I need but two more points to win the O/U for this game. The Vegas folks apparently thought that two teams used to playing in cold weather would not be able to play in cold weather.

Fortunately for me, figuratively

surely you don't literally mean it's figuratively fortunate!
Just because you know how to read, doesn't mean you'll like the book.

@Jason Campbell fans
Sorry, he was bad. Poor pocket presence, poor mechanics, poor performance. You can’t take a 7 step drop, hold the ball around your hip and wait 5s for someone to get open. That’s not how it works.

Eh he was fine.
And none of are actually fans of him really. We’d just prefer him and the draft picks to old ass McNabb.

i didn't see the game,
but O’sFan21 speaks the truth. None of us is saying he’s Tom Brady; but he’s certainly preferable to McNabb.

and Campbell + draft picks really make McNabb look bad

I hate when defenders pop up and start dancing after every tackle
but i’m all for a little gloating after a 91 yard touchdown
exactly
Because I love to watch D-Jax make a full of the cowboys on national TV and then go quietly to the sideline.
F. That. Who really cares what the hell what these guys do after a TD. If the defender has a problem with it, then don’t let him score or shut up and wipe your tears with your $100 bills. Players do more dumb shit on the field to hurt the team than a TD celebration and its 15 yd penalty all the time.
I didn't say it was the worst thing in the world. I just said I could do without it.
I think it makes your look like an immature asshole, which in reality most of them are.

yet another thing we agree on
when I see that shit, I want to kick the player in the balls.

that play earned me 15+ pts for my fantasy team
i felt like celebrating too. i’m just glad he held onto the ball before crossing the goal line this time.
Celebrating is fine. I just think taunting is unnecessary.
You don’t have to be a fucking douchebag asshole in order to celebrate.

We have to take a shot if this comes true....especially with the Yankees and Red Sox having recently locked up 1B long term
All good things come to an end and that could be the case for Albert Pujols and the Cardinals after 2011. The top end of baseball’s flesh market appears to be expanding upward again and, unless Pujols really will give the Cardinals a hometown discount as he has hinted at in the past, it may be impossible for a team in baseball’s 21st largest television market to hang onto him. The Cardinals are beginning to express concern for the first time about whether Pujols will fit their budget once the eight-year deal he signed before 2004 ends at the end of the season.
If Albert Pujols becomes a free agent,
then, yes, I agree, we absolutely have to go after him. But, even with Ryan Howard’s contract, I think Pujols will still be a Cardinal
