Wednesday Bird Droppings & Winter Meetings Updates

PrintWe're going to try something new today. With the rumors and news floating about, yesterday we ended up with one story and two fan shots with people commenting on the same topics in all of them, and I got confused. So today we're going to start your morning with Bird Droppings as always, and as the news comes in we'll update this page and put a note in the comments that we have updated. That should keep everything nice and tidy, don't you think?
Update, 4:00 PM: My dream of the All Fat Bullpen is in jeopardy as the Braves are reportedly closing in on a deal for George Sherrill. Don't worry, Andy, Bobby Jenks is still out there!
Update, 3:30 PM: Kelsie Smith, who covers the Minnesota Twins, tweeted that a Hardy to Baltimore trade is unlikely to be completed today, so everyone can relax for a bit. Also, according to several sources, Cliff Lee's agent has left the winter meetings so any chance of him signing before the week is out is now gone.
Update, 2:00 PM: Dan Connolly tweets that the Orioles are in serious negotiations for J.J. Hardy and that two minor league pitchers, including Brett Jacobson (who was sent to the Orioles from the Tigers in the Aubrey Huff trade). I've always preferred Hardy to Bartlett, and if he can be traded here with little of value going to the Twins, I'm for it.
Update, 11:10 AM: Roch Kubatko just posted a blog entry chock full of O's information. The highlights:
- They were never interested in Kenshin Kawakami. The Braves are trying to dump him and approached a ton of teams, and the Orioles listened.
- The O's want to re-sign Cesar Izturis to be a backup middle infielder (acceptable) or their starting shortstop (unacceptable).
- Jason Bartlett trade talks are 100% dead.
- The O's won't trade Brian Matusz or Jake Arrieta, but they will still move Chris Tillman if the right deal comes along.
Update, 10:53 AM: Per Jon Heyman, Paul Konerko and the White Sox have agreed on a three year, $37.5M contract. Konerko had been a target of the Orioles and was even offered a contract, so this is good news as far as I'm concerned. An aging, Type A 1B who is coming off of a career year he won't repeat is not what the Orioles need. So now it appears that if the Orioles do sign a FA 1B, it'll probably be Adam LaRoche or Derrek Lee.
Update, 10:34 AM: Per Steve Melewski, the Orioles have offered Kevin Gregg a 2-year deal worth between 8 and 10 million. Also, it's possible Gregg has a little bit of a 'tude that the O's might not like.

When asked about a competition between Chris Tillman and Zach Britton, Buck says, "I wouldn't throw that out of the realm of possibility." Concrete answer, there. He also says he's impressed with Matt Wieters, and "he makes about 100 to 200 decisions a night behind the plate and he gets four at bats. You do the math."

Answer Man: Luke Scott talks Nugent, hunting and Obama origin | Big League Stew This article is probably going to make you hate Luke Scott. I'm just saying. So if you don't want to hate Luke Scott, maybe you shouldn't read it. Luke Scott believes that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. This is a lie that has been proven wrong. I don't care about his beliefs on guns or the size of the government or any of that. His belief in a lie that was created in hate is what makes me think less of him, so let's please not make today a giant political argument. And also maybe don't take the things I say like that seriously so much. I don't HATE Luke Scott. Sheesh, people.

It doesn't matter what party you belong to...
it’s a fact that President Obama was born in the United States. It’s not a matter of opinion. Taxation rates, how we should handle Iran, gun control legislation…those are are legitimate topics for political debate (although this is not the right forum for that debate).
That said, Luke Scott can subscribe to flat earth philosophy for all I care, as long as he can hit a baseball I’m happy to have him on my team.

I HATE LUKE SCOTT!!!
Not really. I already came to peace with the fact that Luke was a wing nut last spring when I saw him being interviewed at his locker and there was a sign hanging from it that said “I’ll keep my guns and my money and you keep the CHANGE”.
Yes, it’s my opinion that he’s a wacko but he seems pretty harmless (unless you’re a deer).
Check out more of my highlights at dailymotion.com/gatecitycanes
I don't think that sign
qualifies one as a “wing nut” by any means.

Lol, I see your point that if enough cars exist with that slogan, it cannot, by definition, be fringe.
I also hold true to the belief that the anger exhibited on the fringes has a way of permeating the rest of the electorate by snappy catch phrases.

The Obama birth certificate stuff is ridiculous and you can’t help people when confronted with facts refuse to believe them. I am in agreement with all of you on that.

A baseball player claiming that the President isn’t a natural born citizen based on what he heard through wingnut media from some nutjob lawyer is just stupid. And it’s not flat-earth stupid, either. It’s dangerous rhetoric stupid. That shit can’t be pointed out enough, IMO.

Mostly because his birth certificate said he was born in Hawaii.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate.asp
Where are my shoelaces?
Well, I'd imagine he's saying that since nobody has actually seen that birth certificate
Just a scanned copy. Some people (myself included to a certain extent) have a bit of an issue with John McCain being forced to provide his real birth certificate proving his parents were citizens (he was born in the Panama Canal zone) when he was sued (Goldwater too!) and not just a scanned copy. Granted, they probably didn’t have scanners way back then.
I’m okay with the copy as long as it has been proven (and I believe it was) that it’s real.

Because I am a big fan of this team and I don’t need to mix my sports fandom with my disdain for ignorance, particularly political ignorance where people can’t see past their face on how they’re being played like a cheap fiddle in furtherance of the interests of others.
But the most moronic thing that I’m getting from this is that Luke Scott, an athlete, is talking politics – and not just politics, abrasive politics that he should know are bound to alienate a lot of his fans. That is nothing more than selfishness and vanity.

Of course I’m still searching for that line in the Bill of Rights. You know, the one about freedom from being offended.
As for political ignorance – do you really believe one party has a monopoly on that over another? If so, you may as well count yourself as one of the ignorant.
Speaking about the President – one of my favorite comments from him was the one about Kanye West – “What a jackass.” And to think people felt he needed to apologize for that.

Just because...
…you have a right to say or do something doesn’t mean it’s the smart or responsible thing to do. This is especially true when what you’re doing is blatantly lying, like Luke is, at the cost of someone else’s reputation.
It’s also illegal. If the President so chose, he could take Luke Scott and however many other Birthers out there to court, right now and win, hands down, in a civil suit for slander. Fortunately the President – who frankly I’m surprised I’m even defending this week given current events – is not as petty and small as his critics.
If you are expecting that everyone will act and speak responsibly ...
… then at least don’t hold your breath while you wait.
What i am referring to are those folks who complain because they feel offended, or even worse, are not personally offended but think it is their duty to be protector of the easily offended. That’s where I call BS.
I would also challenge you on your statement that Scott is blatantly lying. Lacking any proof on that score, your statement is as slanderous or even more so than Scott stating that the President is not a US citizen.Can it be said that Luke Scott is not informed on the topic? Most certainly. Can it be implied that he is either naieve or even an idiot for holding onto an opinion that a little bit of independant checking can contradict? I think so. But show me where it is obvious he is lying.
I know it is politically incorrect to qoute Jesus these days, but maybe we would do well to remember the one about who is qualified to throw the first stone.

He’s a right handed bat with some pop. I guess the Warehouse is just checking in on anyone available that somewhat meets that description.
I’d rather we just throw some money at Vladdy, let him DH, and stick Luke at 1B.

LUKE!!!
I’m glad the Orioles pay him to hit a baseball and not for his expert political analysis.
Yes, it’s a free country and Luke Scott has just as much right to be a dumb ass as the next person. I think what bothered me about reading the article—even more than the birther nonsense—is that Luke clearly has a very narrow idea of what it means to be an “American.” It makes total sense that he wouldn’t believe Obama was born in the U.S.A. because in Luke Scott’s worldview “real” Americans don’t look, think or act anything like President Obama.
It’s a big country and there’s room for all of us Luke.

The deer hunting laws are awful.

It’s a shame the bambi effect held so long, but now that deer are jumping into people’s windshields, they’re starting to get the picture that we need to control these deer and let people hunt them.

Well, if you're going to get all worried about kids & pets & stuff...
never mind then.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
It's not about kids and pets.
That’s the argument a lot of people make when in fact, these predatory animals are much more afraid of humans than we should be of them. How rare is it that a coyote kills a human? Or a wolf? It’s very rare. The point is deer are very dangerous. As the population of deer increases, naturally the accidents caused by dumb deer go up. They’re more likely to kill or paralyze someone than any coyote.

I used to use that one years ago
except I exchange the hut for whatever fit at the moment. i also enjoyed calling any friends “Ray Ray” if their name could reasonably fit (from the Winona Ryder eppy).
Spewing negativity.
I was surprised tflach got it
I thought I’d have to wait for you to show for anyone to notice the reference. Not too many Friends aficionados around these parts.
The other day I made reference to there being enough room on one side of the bed for a giant penguin. My bf didn’t get it and it made me sad.

I can spot a Friends reference a mile away,
though it’s starting to disappear from reruns, I don’t even think that it’s shown daily where I live anymore…so it goes.
My wife was really into that show, ergo I am also able to quote it religiously. I have also seen every episode of Sex and the City and Gilmore Girls, and am not afraid to admit it. On the flip side, she has been to many Orioles games, and allowed me to stay to the end, regardless of score or traffic… It’s all about the give and take.
"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.."

I have all of the friends seasons on DVD
I often pop them in when I’m cleaning the house or folding laundry or something like that. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen them. Also love SATC but never got into Gilmore Girls. I haven’t subjected the bf to any of that, though. I’ll let him get a little more settled in, first :) Although I did start watching the Amazing Race with him so he owes me one.

I've been threatened by the gf several times with Desperate Housewives recently
so far though, she hasn’t followed through.
We stick to the comedies
Community, 30 Rock, Modern Family, It’s Always Sunny, those we can watch together. The others I just keep to myself, although when he’s looking through my DVR he judges my TV choices aloud.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
I liked the first season
then I thought the show declined in quality so I stopped watching. Then I randomly starting watching the show again around season 4 or 5. For whatever reason, I became addicted. I would watch one or two old episodes on TBS or Fox per day and then the new eppy on Thursdays. And then I watched Joey after Friends ended. It was the most horrible show ever. Shortly after Joey, I stopped watching reruns of Friends and I haven’t seen an episode since then. But I have an encyclopedic knowledge of that show. That and It’s a Wonderful Life.
Also, I should mention my friends made fun of me a lot for watching Friends.
Spewing negativity.
Joey was the WORST
I think I watched maybe three episodes.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
We watched a bunch more waiting for it to become good
I don’t think we made it to the end, though. It was pretty brutal.
"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.."
I made it to the end
And it was awful. The cliff hanger was predictable and uninteresting. I think Joey even lasted a few seasons into season 2 before it was finally canceled. Matt LeBlanc is reportedly looking for work.
Spewing negativity.
But he was so good in Ed!

Yes, that would be wonderful.
And then she could shoot the remaining two wolves from planes.

I don't really know what I'm talking about here
but the aerial hunting thing? That sounds like the coolest damn thing ever. Is that wrong?
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.
Well, here's how it works.
The hunter is up in a plane with the wolf on the ground. The wolf sees the plane and tries to run away, but of course the plane is faster than the wolf. So, the wolf eventually gets tired and the hunter shoots him/her from the plane. The wolf is completely defenseless.
I don’t mind hunting as long as it’s humane, and that type of hunting is cowardly and inhumane.
Where are my shoelaces?
well, if youre wolf hunting
the wolf is basically defenseless anyway once you find it, right?
(I’m not a hunter, by the way, and don’t particularly care one way or t’other, but its something to talk about)
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.
At least when you're hunting on the ground you give the wolf a chance to get away.
This is completely unfair and in my mind, cheating. At least give the wolf a chance.
Where are my shoelaces?
We should give the wolves guns, then it'll be fair!
(I have no opinion on hunting)

Don Cherry
Why should hunting be fair?
I don’t see how it can be. One creature (man) is much smarter and has a gun. No way to make that a fair fight, IMO. You want fair, maybe step in the ring with bear with a Bowie knife. Something where both animals have something like a 50/50 shot of coming out alive.
How fair is it for cattle or chickens who are kept in a pen their whole lives and slaughtered? How is keeping animals penned up in tiny, filthy cages their entire lives, so their flesh can be shrink wrapped and put on sale in a supermarket more humane than shooting at an animal from an airplane?
I’m not a hunter myself, but as long as I eat chicken or beef (which I do), I’m not going to criticize anyone who hunts for being inhumane or unfair. No animals have worst lives than those bred to be food.

The eating while pooping debate was fantastic
Now, Harold, he's a friendly guy. He rambles on and on. He'll talk the balls off a rhino-saurus.~Primus, Harold of the Rocks
I never said that was fair.
And it’s not. One of the problems I have with hunting wolves vs. deer is that wolves are actually intelligent animals while deer are as dumb as rabbits.
Chickens and cows are not intelligent in the slightest. Wolves are. So are whales and that I have a huge problem with (eating them…). Whales are perhaps as smart as dogs. Would you eat dogs? I wouldn’t. Nor would I eat cats. And wolves are basically wild dogs. So in essence, we jail Michael Vick (quite rightly) for dog fighting while wolves are shot from airplanes. It seems hypocritical to me.
Vick certainly deserved prison time, I’m not arguing against that. And I’m not arguing that people who shoot wolves from airplanes should be jailed. I’m saying going forward it should be illegal.
Where are my shoelaces?
What does intelligence have to do with anything?
My neighbor’s daughter was born prematurely. She’s practically brain dead. Has to be fed through a tube. She shows very little evidence of cognitive function. You think it would be okay for me to eat her?
"If you know how to cheat, start now." - Earl Weaver
A human?
That’s different. That’s wrong. My mom is disabled. Would I eat her because she can’t see and has something wrong with her?
Intelligence has to do with what kind of animal you’re killing. I know someone who herded cattle for a year after high school and he says they don’t think about anything. At all. They aren’t intelligent and cannot understand what’s being done to them.
I’m not saying it’s right that they should be put in pens and slaughtered horribly. It’s just that animals are not all equal.
Where are my shoelaces?
How?
How on earth does your friend know what it’s like to be a cow, or what a cow thinks about or feels? The only way to know anything about what the experience of being a cow is like is to actually be a cow.
But even if we take take it as a fact that cows or deer are less intelligent than wolves or dogs or cats, why should their intelligence matter in how they’re treated by humans? Saying an animal is dumb seems like weak justification for treating it cruelly.
"If you know how to cheat, start now." - Earl Weaver
I'm not justifying treating it cruelly.
It is wrong that we treat food we eat in such a way. But I’m saying wolves and whales and cats and dogs have more right to be treated better than some dumb cow or chicken.
Where are my shoelaces?
Sure...
I understand where you are coming from, and I know you are not trying to justify cruelty to animals. What you haven’t articulated is why intelligence should be a criteria for how well an animal is treated.
If the earth were invaded by a super-intelligent alien species, would it be okay for them to pen humans up and use us as food just because they’re a lot smarter than us? They might look at the difference in intelligence between us and a cow as entirely inconsequential.
"If you know how to cheat, start now." - Earl Weaver

I lived in Alaska for about 15 years
At one point it was legal, then banned, and I’m not sure if they started doing it again. Some people regard it as an unfair advantage, others see it as thinning the herd.
It was only for wolves, though. Anything else was strictly forbidden, and the Alaska Fish and Wildlife folks have no sense of humor when it comes to poaching.

Have you seen the summary of the police report?
Taylor tried defending himself and his girlfriend. He didn’t stand a chance – the proverbial coming to a gun fight with a knife. His best bet might have been not to resist at all, but without any of us being in the room, that is speculation. I’ll agree it is also speculating to say he would be alive today had been armed with a firearm. But if he had the time to reach under his bed to grad the machette resist his assailents, his odds of success increase dramatically if he is on even terms with regard to being able to resort to deadly force.
Remember, it was not God who made all men equal in this life. It was Samuel Colt.

Anyone comfortable with letting those three cover 1B, LF and DH to start the year? Assuming we can find a decent shortstop I’m OK with that.
I'd be okay with that though..
If they have a chance, I’d rather have a stronger 1st baseman.. I’ve opened up to the idea of Laroche.. but if not, Luke at first, Reimold DHing, and Pie in LF would be okay.

sorta depends, though. i do agree w/ the sentiment that if they’re gonna get one type a, they might as well get more than one. so, say, if they were to get derrek lee, they should take a shot at vlad or thome.

No to Luke at 1B
Luke and/or Moldy are not 1Bmen nor are they a stop gap for someone that we don’t have in the wings (that means you Snyder). As of now moldy is the 4th OF w/ Pie in LF. Luke is the DH. I have said it before and I will say it again – Buck will have a 1Bmen with experience playing the postion at the start of the season. He is not going to platoon Moldy or Luke. So no – I am not comfy with the inclusion of 1B in that statement.
By a trade?
I’m not convinced Konerko, Lee or LaRoche would sign. Maybe Lee, but I’m not sure what he would add to the situation.

It looks that way
but we cant forget the bullpen, its thinned a bit more and it wasnt great last year.
Bring Koji back and maybe a few cheap arms but I dont want to give up the 2nd rounder for a bullpen arm.
yeah i think that's the plan
I think that’s why they offered Kevin Gregg a deal, since he won’t cost anything but the money the throw at him.
What up?
doesn't matter to me
LaRoche is likely, Lee is an option and you can never rule out a trade until opening day. Konerko isn’t coming here and it is what it is.
Don't like Luke or Nolan at 1st
Just not a solid enough glove with either there. And it remains to be seen if Nolan can get back on track at the plate. If he can, I’m more inclined to have him come off the bench at DH or LF. My prediction (hope) is that Luke breaks out at DH this year and hopefully pushes past 90 RBIs and 30 HR at a minimum. I’m not sure Vlad should be much of a priority. I think the best we can do is Derek Lee for 2 years (hopefully he doesn’t break his hip) and hope Snyder either gets it together or gets out of the way for Mahoney.

I know the place is a landmark.
But holy fuck did they have some peppery-ass crabs. I ate there once with a buddy of mine and we both got these incredible headaches from all the pepper in their seasoning. I can’t believe they stayed in business so long.
They may have overdone it at the restaurant (and the crab quality has fallen off, too)
It’s pretty good in moderate amounts. Really good on other dishes, too (baked taters, steamed veggies, etc). Word is you’ll still be able to buy the seasoning and some other things online.

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.
my problem
looking at cots, I’m thinking the bullpen in 2010 was about 22% of the total payroll…and we’re taking out some of the cheapest parts of it and putting in expensive parts. It’s not a good way to build the roster.

From Roch
* Orioles were never interested in Kenshin Kawakami. The Braves are trying to dump him and approached a ton of teams, and the Orioles listened.
* The O’s want to re-sign Cesar Izturis to be a backup middle infielder (acceptable) or their starting shortstop (unacceptable).
* Jason Bartlett trade talks are 100% dead.
* The O’s won’t trade Brian Matusz or Jake Arrieta, but they will still move Chris Tillman if the right deal comes along.

There is a Calvin and Hobbes comic
in which Calvin asks Hobbes “If you could wish for anything at all, what would it be?”. Hobbes thinks for a moment and replies “A tuna fish sandwich”, which sets Calvin off on his best friend’s incredible lack of imagination. Calvin then says he’d wish for high powered rocket launchers and billions of dollars and so on. The punchline, though, is that Hobbes then makes himself a tuna fish sandwich and says “I got what I wished for”.

I know this may be blasphemous, but
perhaps what is happening with 1B is alright. I know people want action now, but perhaps the inaction is ok, for several reasons.
1. It gives a better chance for a Fielder trade, who of all the names discussed may be one of the only long term solutions, who we can build a team around.
2. There may be some decent options that will turn cheaper as other rosters fill. Out of Lee, Overbay, and Laroche, someone may need a home. Additionally if you consider the fact that Reynolds could play first or that Luke could that still puts Beltre in the mix as well as Damon, Thome, Vlad, etc. I believe Huff was jobless late last year and the Giants signed him on the cheap.
3. Worse comes to worse, Luke plays first and potentially Nolan (or whomever excels during spring training) fills in as DH.
Just a thought and certainly a Laroche or Lee make us better, but there may be more exciting options or better options available.

Hey, I'm not a Harry Potter nerd!
I read… most? all?… of the Narnia books a long time ago. The movies are pretty enjoyable, but they’re certainly making some changes that prevent Lewis’s messages from coming across intact. So I have mixed feelings.
"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
Like I said
I never read the books, so that benefits me as far as changes to the story are confirmed. Although I read that the plot changes that were made to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader were made because the plot had major holes in it and wouldn’t make sense as a movie otherwise. Lewis’ estate originally did not agree with any changes until they read the original plot and compared it with the final plot.

I’m not saying that we should get him, because I don’t want him, or really any available SP (not named Cliff Lee, of course). But he doesn’t stink. That’s unfair and an insult to him. Yes, he’s decent at best, but last season was not a showing of his true talent. His FIP and xFIP were respectable, but his BABIP went up 30 points and is LOB% dropped, causing his ERA to rise above 5. Again, I think he’s only a decent pitcher and the O’s shouldn’t get him, but I hate to see you guys unfairly trashing a player.

People who tell the truth, they’re very easy to … their actions prove it. Something as simple providing a birth certificate. Come on. If you’re born here, there’s plenty of documents. But you know what? There’s no documentation of him. No legal documentation of him. There’s been lie after lie after lie exposed, but people put it under the carpet. Hence, the problem we have in this country.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not
but you named only two instances separated by almost 50 years (after saying they’ve been used “many times”) and the 2nd one you named wasn’t ever a political or campaign issue.
From the Washington Post (I know – a liberal rag):
McCain, on the other hand, didn’t get to Arizona until 1981, a year before winning election to Congress, when he was 44. In 1986, after two terms in the House, McCain won the Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Barry Goldwater, the GOP’s presidential nominee in 1964. Ironically, Goldwater was born in Phoenix in 1909 – three years before Arizona became a state. But no one questioned whether he was a “natural-born citizen.”
I would also argue that the McCain citizenship issue was never used as a political argument either, when Obama’s citizenship obviously was. There’s a different between a journalist asking a legitimate question and a large subset of a political party rallying around the idea.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Goldwater did run for president....
And think the Post is wrong on that one. Goldwater was questioned, as was McCain.

No problem
A whopping 58 percent of Republicans either think Barack Obama wasn’t born in the US (28 percent) or aren’t sure (30 percent). A mere 42 percent think he was.
That means a majority of Republicans polled either don’t know about — or don’t believe the seemingly incontrovertible evidence Obama’s camp has presented over and over and over that he was born in Hawaii in ‘61.
It also explains why Republicans, including Roy Blunt, are playing footsie with the Birther fringe.
As far as “after having seen Obama’s birth certificate” I never said that.

DailyKOS’s polls have very little to do with reality or science. Their approval polls regularly track 10 points higher for Obama than every other published pull; this number is probably off too. They have no credibility.

Repeating an untrue defamatory statement is still defamation. Most of these statements, not just by Luke, are phrased as fact and not as opinion. And even then opinions aren’t protected by the first amendment when you imply a defamatory factual basis to the opinion.
Plus, I believe you would have to prove intentIntent to defame is not part of the law. Even for defamation of a public figure, all you have to prove is reckless disregard of the truth.

No...
If you read Daniel’s comment again:
now we’re telling grown men what they can and can’t say? especially when it wasn’t that earth-shattering in the first place?
He’s clearly suggesting that the assertion that the POTUS isn’t eligible to hold office is really not that big of a deal. When, in fact, it is. It would be the biggest story in a while actually.

Just as we have teh right to disagree with him and tell other people that the things he says are dumb and counter-factual.

Well I'm from his part of Florida
I can say it wouldn’t surprise me one bit to find out he holds racist beliefs dear to him. It’s rampant in Florida once you go mainland. Gun-toting bible thumper from backwoods Florida? It’s not that much of a stretch.

Yes, this comment isn't bathed in prejudice
The same people accusing Luke or being prejudiced think he’s a dumb gun-toting bible-loving hillbilly racist redneck….
The hypocrisy is totally maddening.

Although,
Luke Scott also probably thinks he’s a gun-toting bible-loving hillbilly redneck. We just disagree on the racist and dumb parts.
haha
I get ya’, but thats my whole point.
Just because you love guns and go to church (Duck) doesnt make you stupid, racist or trailer-trash. Different people from all over the place like all kinds of things so to put them in a box and then call them discriminatory when something like this happens, to me, is HYPOCRISY

I've always loved the irony in how the people who are usually ...
… the first to cry out racism, bigotry and prejudice are also the ones most likely to make derogatory comments and references about sotherners and christians.
Commenting on allegations on the use of torture against terrorost suspects: "If hooking up one raghead terrorist prisoner's testicles to a car battery to get the truth out of the lying little camel shagger will save just one Canadian life, then I have only three things to say:
Red is positive, black is negative, and make sure his nuts are wet"

Jussayin...I live where he's from & I've seen the prejudice
That runs rampant in the area. I didn’t say he was dumb. I think it, but didn’t say it. He is a gun toting bible thumper. That is a fact. One can draw conclusions from statements & other factors. Have you ever been to Ocala or Longwood or anywhere else where the KKK still has a stamp in the community? I don’t know if he’s racist, I just know that when you combine multiple factors, the probability increases.

Come to Longwood & see the racism for yourself
Then you have a different perspective on the whole thing. I never said he was, I said it wouldn’t surprise me. You’re apologizing for him because he shares the beliefs of the fringe of the party you follow. Just say it. But thanks for trying to insinuate my comment was as stupid as Luke’s.

Luke Scott has prompted Greg Bader, the Director of Communications for the Orioles, to release a statement.
Luke Scott’s comments do not reflect the opinion of the Baltimore Orioles organization. The fact is that Barack Obama is our President, duly elected by the people of the United States. End of story.
Thanks Greg Bader. I was really worried that the entire Orioles organization though the country was being run by an ineligible president.

Oh dear God,
the Orioles Facebook page just posted a link to their article that Scott’s comments do not reflect their views, and it looks like most commenters agree with Scott. I’m just going to assume that only the crazies are bothering to comment, but, still, these are our fellow fans.
Pretty much
Only those with passionate views tend to comment on such things. And those with passionate views tend to not have mainstream views. How many people have you ever seen holding up signs saying “The End Isn’t Really That Close After All”

How about one of Jon’s signs when he announced the Rally:
“I’m not afraid of socialists, Nazis, communists, Tea Partiers, or Muslims.”
flip to the back
“But I am kind of afraid of spiders.”
Also, according to the crime rankings linked to in the Luke Scott interview,
the number one city is Camden, New Jersey. Coincidence? I think not.
Camden is one hell of a scary place
Nice aquarium, though.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
I bet the Baltimore aquarium is better.
I don’t want to go to New Jersey ever again, so I’ll never find out.
Thats not entirely fair
If it wasn’t for New Jersey, you’d have to drive much further to get to New York.

I have a whole new respect for Luke Scott
The man aint afraid to say whats on his mind and he’s right
everything he said is right
as for is the guy in office was actually born here or not
like Luke said go and prove it if there’s any question he hasn’t even tried to prove the people wrong, if he does, ok, but he hasn’t
he's not exactly trolling...
he’s just pointing out that he respects Luke. in a weird kind of way, you have to respect him for being able to speak his mind and not sell himself out, even if he makes himself look like an idiot in the process. he stuck to his guns, (literally and figuratively) which I admire.

Sounds good.
I used to support it, but my view has gradually shifted over time. Although I do admit that every so often I hear about some sick fuck that makes me think about volunteering to throw the switch myself.

It's a complicated issue.
I know Ted Kaczynski’s brother, and we’ve had some interesting conversations on the subject. For those of you who don’t know, Ted is also known as the Unibomber. Dave, his brother, figured it out and turned him in. He’s very anti-death penalty. In fact, he started New Yorkers against the Death Penalty…now that NY has outlawed it, I’m not sure what he’s doing…
He’s one of my dad’s closest friends.
Where are my shoelaces?
That's pretty much my view
There are some real sick fucks out there who definitely deserve to die IMO, but I worry about all the people who sure as hell seem like sick fucks and then after sitting on death row for 8 years a little DNA test comes along and tells us they weren’t so sick after all.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
My views are not based on the worry that they may execute an innocent man.
I tend to believe that is the exception.
It has more to do with whether or not it is in accordance to God’s will. Since I believe he is the final judge, executing someone seems rather redundant.
Now I have no objection to having incarcerated felons performing hard labor.

Of course it's the exception
but for that dude and his family that’s a pretty godawful exception to deal with. And even if it’s the exception it seems to happen much too frequently for my comfort level.
I’m an atheist so I certainly don’t care about god’s will.
I’m all for hard labor though.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
I agree with you.
Ever read The Innocent Man by John Grisham? It is one of the most moving, informative and sad non-fiction books I have ever read. It’s about three innocent men on death row and their fates. Definitely worth a recommendation.
