Orioles Insider: Roberts reacts to going on 60-day DL
"Even if I started tomorrow and I really started getting ready to go, it would still take me at least three weeks to be ready," said Brian Roberts, who hasn't done any baseball activities since playing in his last game April 9. "We talked a lot about it yesterday, and the best-case scenario is I might be back seven days before that. But that’s with everything. So this gives us a little bit of extra time to make sure I don’t rush anything. Hopefully, by that time, I’ll be ready." -duck

I really should fix this,
especially since I’ve helped write the page, but… it’s still funny.

yes we all know how you feel.
You don’t have to repeat the same exact thing every single morning
by Stacey on May 13, 2010 7:57 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
actually, no
Repeating the same exact thing every single day isn’t ok. If you want to talk specifically about Trembley has done to deserve being fired, that’s cool. But just saying “he needs to he fired” every single morning without fail is close to trolling. WE ALL KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. In fact that’s the our thing we know about you since it’s the only thing you ever say.

I'll put it even more succinctly
1. Read the Community Guidelines
2. See the part about “Relentless negativity will not be tolerated.” Yeah, that’s you.
3. Stop doing it or you’ll be warned then banned.

It's not necessarily even about the negativity
He could be in here every day saying how Trembley should get manager of the year but just saying things for the sake of saying them with no additional original thoughts annoys the crap out of me.
Imagine going into work every day and the first thing that happens is your coworker saying the same thing? I’d tell that guy to cool it also.
by Stacey on May 13, 2010 9:02 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
i have two of them
lady rides a bike. I GET IT. and every morning – “i rode my bike last night…”
or
the guy in a band that thinks he is going to “make it” and claims to be a rock star EVERY DAY and actually says “…thats what happens when you are a rock star”. NO you are not an F-ing rock star. You are an environmental engineer that plays bass for a band that has a myspace music page. NO. you will not be a rock star. EVER!
sorry i vented on your post stacey. But I see where you are coming from.
The lady about the bike is annoying, but the rock star dude sounds awesome
I think I would find him hysterical.

no i find it funny too
i count how many times he says “rock star” in the same conversation. his personal best is 8 times over a 10 minute conversation.
that sounds like a fantastic game

personal favorites
someone said he looked tired-
“I had a gig last night. But that’s the life of a rock star.”
someone commented on him wearing all black and a purple tie to work-
“I have a gig after work and this is my rock star outfit.”
I can’t even make this shit up.
oh yeah!
He is dead serious. He was talking about how they are going to record an album and was contemplating quitting because some dude said they were good enough to tour.
you should be all,
yeah! you ARE good enough to tour! I think you should quit tomorrow!

fantastic
Please get video evidence of this somehow if it happens. So cruel but so funny.

he actually says "rock star" in talking about himself???
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
that's awesome
I wouldn’t even know how to react to that. I feel like the first time he said it you’d have to say, “I’m sorry, but did you just refer to yourself as a rockstar???”
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
no way
then he would stop knowing i was making fun of him. the other dude he talks to says it too like this guy is his idol. and then the old ladies think it’s cute. all the while i sit in my cube trying not to laugh to loud.
dude back off.....i'm a rock star!
i play guitar in my basement!

Late to the party, but love this thread
A good friend of mine used to refer to his band in conversation all the time. Dude couldn’t even play guitar. His buddy taught him a few chords and they “rocked out” in his garage. This wasn’t a teenage thing, either. I’m talking post-college.
Good way to destroy her knees.
Exercise is good, but eight miles every morning?
"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
Yup
Then we’re in a meeting and she’s eating something and says, “Sorry about eating, I didn’t have time after running 8 miles this morning.” or “I was thinking about this issue as I was running 8 miles this morning,” or “I have to stop at the dry cleaner after work. Thank goodness I already ran 8 miles this morning so I don’t have to worry about working out.”
That's like when people have to refer to their posessions by the name brand
Like “Oh, I must have left it in the Audi” or “Aren’t these new Gucci’s so adorable?”. Adding the “8 miles” to the sentence automatically makes you a douchebag. You can say “Do you like these new sunglasses?” or “I didn’t have time to eat after my run this morning” and you’d have alot less docuhiness dripping off of you.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
is it like "My Nikes"?
If so that’s much better than like “I have to go pick up my gucci’s”
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
worse
“it’s finally spring so I can wear my [white] Steve Maddens”
“my Aldos are getting scuffed”
“I need to talk to Kenneth about my Kenneth Coles falling apart”
its gotten bad.
My buddies get on me when I say:
“Has someone seen my IPhone”…. but I think everyone who has one says it… thats just what its called. It would feel weird saying “Has anyone seen my phone”.
I dunno…
Im not trying to be pompous about it or anything.
by Wieters Wieners on May 13, 2010 11:32 AM EDT up reply actions
no, you're right.
it’s not just a phone. And it’s distinctive and famous enough that if you’ve misplaced it, it makes sense to describe it accurately, since pretty much everyone knows what one looks like.
what would not be cool would be to say, “I was talking to my friend on my iPhone yesterday and……” (unless you were then going on to tout some feature unique to it).
"I doubt he could reach [second base]...mostly cuz his fucking arm was in Aybar's nuts." – twistedlogic

But I hear it’s awesome

Relentless negativity?
Really? I’ve commented on this site maybe 4-5 times – the first of which was a praise to all its authors. If you want all of your audience to drink the kool-aide, then ban me now. I’ve been an Orioles’ fan, as have most of you, a long time. It’s hard to be positive about a team, especially one with so much prestige, that’s fallen so far. I will continue to criticize when it’s warranted, which is often. However, to please Stacey, I will make every attempt to find time during work to elaborate more on my early morning critiques.
It's not about being negative
and if you think it is then I can only assume you’ve never read anything on this site. We are negative constantly. If you don’t get it, I don’t know what to tell you.
And I quote:
I’ll put it even more succinctly
1. Read the Community Guidelines
2. See the part about "Relentless negativity will not be tolerated." Yeah, that’s you.
3. Stop doing it or you’ll be warned then banned.
And I don’t read the opinions on this site. I read the news updates and links.
Well first of all
duck said that, not me. I followed it up with something different.
You don’t read the opinions and yet you feel free to drop in with your “fire trembley” all the time? If you don’t care about our opinions why do you suppose anyone would care about yours?
I was referring to the site not the threads
And I could care less if anyone values my opinions. I simply view the threads as a place to talk Orioles; somethings that’s hard for me to do living in DC.
Hey Duck
it just means that Bedard managed to get first pitch flyouts or groundouts from every batter. Just 3 more pitches than the minimum for a perfect game.
in all honesty I was gonna try and explain what a simulated game, but I felt unable to do it justice. So I found Craig Calterra’s article about simulated games http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/04/just-what-the-heck-is-a-simulated-game-anyway.html.php
Wigglypuff uses Walk Off. Papelbon faints. -Jakattak88
Calling 30 pitches a simulated game just seems stupid
That’s 2 innings, not a simulated game. It’s structured pitching practice, that’s all.
"Oh, and Joe? If Brian hits any of your delicate millionaires, know that he meant it." - Stacey
With Bedard?
It’s more like 1 and a half.
but yeah I agree. There should be another name for the type of structured pitching practice. But hey simulated game is catchy.

Ahhhhhhhhhh.......
The O’s win and the sun comes out! Coincidence? I think not…

Yea, but...
the fucking Flyers won. I guess losing in 7 will be much sweeter. Give them hope and then snatch it away.

I HATE the Flyers
I can root for the Bruins to lose in the next round.

If somebody wants to poison Felix Hernandez’s pre-start steak, they should go ahead and do that. I give you permission.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Maybe his back will stiffen up again
It happened once this season and he imploded. Had to get mid game adjustments from a chiropractor.

So, monsieur duck
yesterday you berated me for not clipping the philly thing. then i clip it, and you don’t post it.

so...
i think corey patterson can be a fine defensive replacement/4th for this team, but seeing the glaring need for obp at the top of the order and the presence of lou montanez, does anyone know why fio was discarded? that .297 SLG was brutal, but i could live w/ .350 OBP.

Get it straightened out...
So as the trade deadline nears, at best we’ll see a Sherrill trade. The trade was lauded, but Bell and Synder are going to be role players at best. If so, that’s nothing to sneeze at, but trading Millwood for something similar is like moving the furniture around. I’m looking forward to the draft moreso than any furniture shuffling during the trade season. And then we’re all waiting to see if the plan is to build up over another five years via the draft, or whatever. What’s the time estimate for this ‘straightening out’ Andy?
If you are completely pessemistic

But it’s an absolute time suck for me. Users create and submit timed quizzes on every subject under the sun, and you can play them for free. You can also sign up for a free account, but that’s only necessary if you want to track your scores and/or create quizzes.
Anycrap, I just created my first quiz, and if anyone wants to take it for a spin and maybe give it a rating, go nuts. Tell your friends. It’s the top ten Maryland-born career leaders in home runs. There are a couple surprises on the list, I feel.
