Consuming Interests: Orioles to swap places with Southwest employees - Consumer news and tips on shopping, saving money, deals and credit - baltimoresun.com
"Orioles players Brian Roberts and Jake Fox, along with the Orioles mascot, are going to trade places with employees of Southwest Airlines around 11 a.m. at BWI. Southwest, which has partnered with the Orioles for the past 10 years and is the team's official airline, says the players and bird will be making gate announcements, boarding planes to welcome folks to Baltimore and even directing a plane into one of the Southwest's gates at BWI." Maybe one of the Southwest employees can play short stop tonight. Can't possible have a lower batting average than the one we're currently employing.

thats what i would think
i think the most glaring need is a power bat at 1st. I have a feeling buck gets one here next year one way or the other. just my gut.
Next year?
So are you saying we sign Pena/Lee/VMart or are you saying we trade for 1 year of Gonzalez or Fielder?
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
Im saying one way or the other
how do I know what they are going to do or what they can do – I just don’t see Buck starting the season with a question mark at 1st.
I guess what I meant was...
do you personally like either of those options?
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
I don't understand this line of thought at all
We already have Luke, who, by wOBA is the 10th best hitter in the majors this year. Better than Fielder or A-Gonz, who both hit in the NL, not the AL East. A lot better than V-Mart. And much, much better than Pena or Lee, who are both well into their decline.
Plus, I’m not ready to give up on Nolan, and although I’m not a huge believer in Snyder (power, vanishing BB-rate), Waring (K’s are scary), or Mahoney (huge BABIP, could be flukey), they will all probably be in AAA next year, and all deserve a shot before we go out and pay big money for the easiest position on the field.
well
Luke Scott is great right now, but really unlikely to be substanitally better than Gonzalez or Fielder even next year. This is a guy who most people wrote off as untradeable in May, remember. One career year does not make Luke Scott (who is on the wrong side of thirty) the first baseman of the future (setting aside the fact that the Orioles are obviously unhappy with his defense at first on a long-term basis, rightly or wrongly)
...a piece of V mail in which everything but the salutation "Dear Mary" had been blocked out and on which the censoring officer had written, "I long for you tragically. R. O. Shipman, Chaplain, U.S. Army."
I'm not saying he is the 1B of the future, I'm saying why would
we go out and pay for inferior options.
and all he said was we needed a bigger bat at first
we already have the 10th best bat in the league, I wish people would stop complaining and realize just how good that Luke has been this year.
but we're not talking about Luke Scott
we’re talking about how bad Ty Wigginton is. I wish people would start complaining and realize just how bad Ty has been this year.
...a piece of V mail in which everything but the salutation "Dear Mary" had been blocked out and on which the censoring officer had written, "I long for you tragically. R. O. Shipman, Chaplain, U.S. Army."
Are we?
Buck might be a lot more willing to try Luke at 1B than his predecessors were, especially if Wiggy isn’t even around next year. And honestly, I don’t think we need a big bat for 2011 unless we don’t think we can buy one for 2012 — we have Luke, Reimold, and prospects to take the 1B/DH slots, and we need to figure out who can be part of the future, right?
"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
luke isn't playing 1B
Luke is the DH and I have no problem with him staying here at DH. Our current 1B’s are Ty, Fox, and now Snyder
and Luke hasnt been playing 1B
so I’d be really shocked if the gameplan were to make him the everyday first bagger next year.
Then there’s still the fact that Luke is having a career year at age 32 in which his OPS+ is a good 20 points higher than his career number. You’d expect him to regress next year and beyond, and for the younger Fielder, etc. to be better than him at the plate.
...a piece of V mail in which everything but the salutation "Dear Mary" had been blocked out and on which the censoring officer had written, "I long for you tragically. R. O. Shipman, Chaplain, U.S. Army."
well, Prince's K's are up this year, his BB's are down
and his power has kind of fallen off a cliff, although his BB’s and power are both still above average. He has a horrible body type and it would take an enormous amount of money to sign him. Anything more than 4 years ~$80-90 million and I don’t want him. Meanwhile, Luke is still under team control and fairly cheap.
Switch off him and Nolan at 1st/DH with the occasional day in left. It’s not that difficult.
i see what u did there,
but we were talking about a first base power bat. Which means Luke Scott.
What if he hits in AAA next year? He's shown in the past that he's needed
extra time at each level to find his stroke. I’m not saying it’s likely, but he’s still only 23 years old, let’s not all give up on him yet.
The comment on that Southwest story is hilarious.

god damn
I just had someone show up to my office hours and spend 20 minutes telling me how smart he was and how he was worried about how easy law school is. shut the fuck up.
He's been in law school for all of two weeks
Though I’m sure he’ll do well, he also told me how he doesnt need to brief cases because he has a photographic memory, and he already has a MBA which he slept through while still managing to finish at the top of his class.

Right...
As an aside – if I hear one more person talk about their MBA, I’m going to snap. I don’t care if you went to Wharton at Penn (hear that O’sFan21!) or the McDonough School at Georgetown, just take your MBA and stuff it. The value of that degree is completely watered-down since every Tom, Dick, and Harry decided to go to business school.

I have to say
those O’s auctions can be a great place to pick up items. I’m not huge on autographs, but I got an authentic BRob auto’d jersey on there once for 150. That’s less than an authentic BRob jersey costs by itself. It is the proud centerpiece of my livingroom now (at least for the next week or so. Stupid redecorationg…).

I bet they can figure out that the bat is meant for hitting and the glove is supposed to catch the ball. Something we seem to struggle with this year, though we are improving.
I still think the only hope for us is to lobby for human cloning so we can clone 5 or 6 copies of Felix Pie. That ought to do the trick, we might even be World Series contenders if that happens.

I had actually forgotten
SBNation is just the shiznit now. So many sites have awful commenting systems, it kind of blows my mind.
I used to use cbssports for my Rutgers football blogging
and it was pretty good… up until like a month ago when they went through this massive site renovation that just absolutely ruined everything. It went from something similar to SBNation with avatars and profiles and a cool interactive rating system to something similar to posting comments at the bottom of news stories on your local paper’s site circa 2004.

but I will be at Raymond James for the USF game… and I am trying to convince myself to pony up the dough to make it to the FIU game next week. It’s a bit of a drive and a night game means I have to get a hotel so we’ll see.
And yes I am looking forward to a lot
of 7 to 6. This is another one of those seasons when I wouldn’t be surprised by 6-6 or 11-1. We have the hard BE schedule with all the tough games on the road, so it will be difficult to make it to the BCS. We might be favorites heading into next season, though. There is a lot of young talent, let’s hope it materializes.

30 games left in the season...
4 wins and we match the last 30 games from ’02
6 wins and we beat the dreaded 1988 season total of 54
11 wins and we reach 60 wins; avoiding 4th full season in the 50’s since moving to B’more
12 wins and we have a winning 2010 record under Buck
14 wins and we avoid 100 losses
15 wins and we match 2009 record of 64-98
17 wins and Buck ends the season with the highest managerial win percentage in Orioles history with a minimum 50 games. (Earl Weaver .596)
21 wins and we reach 70 for the first time since 2006
30 wins and we tie our best record since going wire to wire in ’97
Oops, for the sake of accuracy:
Earl’s career winning percentage is .583, Buck’s is the one that would be .596 if we win 17 games
31 wins and the Al East is a Russian election
And we make the playoffs!

I don’t really have any love for the Blue Jays, but I just noticed they are five games behind the Red Sox in the standings. I would thoroughly enjoy if they ended the season in third place and knocked the Red Sox down to fourth. They play each other three more times.

Not only was it his next AB
but it came later in that same inning. Pretty rare that you get a chance to do that.
looks like a Yankee pitcher threw over his head, causing the benches to clear
and the next AB, Bautista hit a home run.
http://www.sbnation.com/2010/8/23/1638708/jose-bautista-home-run-blue-jays-yankees-recap
actually the timeline goes like this
3rd inning: Bautista hits home run.
6th inning (next AB): Yankee SP Nova throws over Bautista’s head, benches clear. Bautista flies out.
8th inning (next AB): Bautista hits home run.
fans may not even notice
