Ol' Flat Breezy is worried he'd become stuck in the minors if he accepted an assignment. Um, George? Unemployment doesn't pay very well. You think anyone will sign you in the off-season if you take the rest of this season off, waiting for an offer that never comes?

I lived closer to Susquehannock High School than the high school I actually went to
but thankfully I lived just over the line in Maryland and was spared the Pennsyltucky high school experience.
hey now
them’s fightin’ words. Some of the best teachers I have ever met anywhere taught in that school. I’ll never be able to learn half as much about chemistry as I did there.

oh god yes
he’s retired now, though. Heck, I think half the teachers I had are gone, and I wasn’t there that long ago.

It has been a topic discussed widely on this site
and I do think Britt should of at least acknowledged the situation even if Nolan refused to comment. To pretend it has had no bearing on his current woes seems a bit Pollyannish.

But in this case, the "gossip" IS affecting his "baseball"
"Overdrive the sound and make it sound pretty rude." - Jimmy Page
Exactly
Everyone interviewed in the article seems to give the impression he’s a total headcase. Left Norfolk a couple times for personal reasons. Cant seem to get the fact that he got demoted out of his head… its eating him up when other guys are getting called up and it seems he’s more worried about that stuff than getting his swing fixed. It said he is pressing and switching up his stance almost every other day.
Like I said, sounds like he’s got ‘alot on his mind’.
So why not use it as an excuse to get a little juicey gossip back in the airwaves. lol
by Wieters Wieners on Jul 16, 2010 9:31 AM EDT up reply actions
Wow Duck
After reading that article about that chick, its no wonder the guy can’t hit.
Thats a script right out of a movie.
Poor high school kid said they did “it” more than 200 times (alot of which in her Hondo Odyssey), but that after his father passed he became very distraught to learn she was sleeping with another man WHILE still sleeping with her husband. Poor kid thought they “had something special”.
I would love to hear how Reimold got mixed up with her in the first place.
by Wieters Wieners on Jul 16, 2010 9:57 AM EDT up reply actions
I'm sure he didn't know any of that
Sees a cute blonde at a bar, and away we go…. probably didn’t Google her, and certainly didn’t Google her under her previous name, that he probably didn’t know. So his cute 20-something girlfriend turns out to be a 30-something who slept with a student with a complicated relationship with her ex. And she’s pregnant. Hope he got a paternity test….

Well, it isn't important really
It is just another hobby – some people like football, some people like art.
But if you’d like to learn more, the Baltimore Museum of Art has a nice collection, and the National Gallery in DC has an amazing collection and loads of free tours and lectures you can go to.

from BA
Craig (Lake View Terrace, CA): After Zach Britton’s outstanding first half of the season and impressive turn in the Futures Game a few days ago, what is his short-term value to the 2010 Orioles and where does he rank long-term in Baltimore’s deep corps of pitching prospects? What (if any) holes does he have in his repetoire, and what’s the outlook for him to sustain his incredible groundball/flyball ratio in the Major Leagues?
Jim Callis: Not sure what you mean by short-term value . . . they could call him up, but what would be the point. He has the best sinkers in the minors, and he’s a lefty who touches 96 mph with his four-seamer, and his slider is improved. I’ve underrated him in the past but won’t any longer. He, Matusz and Tillman will form the heart of future Orioles rotations.

Well, I follow a handicapper (tout) who calls himself ‘Baseball Prophet’. He has really done a superb job handicapping baseball this year. Has done nothing but pick winners and make his “clients” gobs of money. He isn’t a BSer or anything like that and doesn’t change his records after the fact. I’ve been policing every pick. In any case, he’s lost two in a row… Not that that means his next pick will be any more reliable but psychologically for some reason, I like jumping on a guy after a cold streak.
His pick tonight: Baltimore/Toronto OVER 8.5 runs.

Don't say, by the way, that I didn't warn you.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
An outside-of-the-box idea
I’m not normally the kind of guy to make these kinds of suggestions, but whatever:
why don’t the Orioles offer the Phillies some low level minor leaguer (like, say, Brandon Waring perhaps) for Raul Ibanez and some prospect like Aumont or (someone fill in with some other name in their system who could provide a reasonable upgrade in the Oriole system)?
It seems like the strength of the Orioles’ position right now is their financial flexibility, especially relative to a lot of the competing teams looking to get out of bad contracts. Why don’t the Orioles utilize that advantage and willing take on an albatross like Ibanez in order to pick up some good prospect(s)?
Hang onto me, baby, and let's hope the roof stays on
I hear what you're saying, and I think it's probably a good thought.
But not for Aumont, I wouldn’t trade Waring for Aumont straight up, although I’m not sure who else they have in their system other than Domonic Brown.
Well, it is a good idea
Although Aumont is way too small of a return. But I’m sure it won’t happen.
I mean, if the Orioles really valued prospects that highly, why not spend more in the draft instead of taking on, what, $18 million owed to Ibanez? It is just more creative than our front office seems to be, and I can’t shake the feeling that most of that financial flexibility is just going into someone’s bank account.
But even so, what does $18 million in prospects look like?

Screw Raul Ibanez
