PrintAre the Orioles worse off today than they were four years ago? - baltimoresun.com
"Four years ago, on August 22, 2007 -- the same day the team announced that manager Dave Trembley would return for the 2008 season -- the Orioles endured one of the lowest points in franchise history when the Rangers scored 30 runs on them at Camden Yards. That August 22 was rough, for sure, but four years later, are these Orioles better off than that bunch?" In scoring those 30 runs on 29 hits, the Rangers became the first MLB team in 110 years to score 30 runs in a game. It was also an American League record. To make things worse, the Orioles, who led the last-place Rangers, 3-0, before giving up 30 unanswered runs, lost the second half of the doubleheader later that day.

Is Matt Wieters Tired at the Plate? - Dempsey's Army

"Two men whose stories began in a fashion so similar that they could both be described by the same paragraph have ridden different narrative arcs ever since. One has become a story of stability featuring great individual success, the other an itinerant tale including the ultimate in team achievement."
Davis not damaged goods in trade, Orioles say - Star-Telegram
"The Baltimore Orioles do not believe the Texas Rangers knowingly traded them damaged goods when they included Chris Davis in a package to acquire right-hander Koji Uehara."

I like it. 12 teams, 3 WR, 2 RB, and flex. People’s WR3’s and flex options are gonna be weak. Should encourage trading and waiver wire action if people are paying attention

Standard yahoo options.
I love the extra flex position since it normally means you’re getting a third wideout or a backup running back.

On the Aug. 22, 2007 game one thread, when we pulled ahead 3-0, I posted "Ball game" and signed off to go fishing
OK, I didn’t actually do that, but it makes a good story. I don’t remember what I posted, and that’s doubtless for the best. I have gone on to live a rich and productive life since that day — unlike the Orioles, sniffle — and intend to continue doing so. We may yet save Social Security — and we will certainly keep Baconnaise!
So, 2-nite we got Rhy-mone Simon going against the egg-sucking lefthander Brian Duensing, who got his college experience as a Nebraska Cornholer and has never defeated the Baltimore Orioles. We’re looking at TWO STRAIGHT here, peeps.
In other news, politically-astute blogger and Ben Affleck fan Zknower posted a nice headline yesterday:
Obama: 2

D. Letterman should draw some comfort here. Al Qaeda tries to mess with him — big trouble.

Ahaha, couldn't resist.
Palmer made a nice in-passing remark last night about BA — that he was (allegedly) banned from Fenway for interfering w/ a foul ball in play, and “not for his movies” — to which several peeps responded that his movies had actually improved of late. This was news to me (I don’t see a lot of ‘em in Moscow), and I simply responded “Be sure to tell Zknower.” Figuring they prolly wouldn’t, I slipped the above in just to get your attention.
So I’m appealing the ban. I’ll be represented at the hearing by j.q., if my damn ruble retainer check ever clears.

there's certainly been no improvement that i've seen
the latest being his mediocre performance in The Town last year, an overrated film if there ever was one. Although Melissa Leo and Amy Adams were sensational. Oh wait, that was the other irritating film about Boston townies from last year.

my wife and i watched the wire straight through and then deadwood straight thru
I place Deadwood as the best thing on TV ever, and The Wire as a close second
She is has them 1 and 2 as well, but in the opposite order.

I picked up seasons 2 and 3 of Deadwood and the rest of The Wire as well
but I’m saving them to watch in Moscow during the winter— and trying not to listen to/read any more about either in case there’s a spoiler or two lurking out there.
(How I’m gonna get a column out of The Wire remains unclear, but there’s gotta be a way. I mean, Russians certainly have their own Easterns, so to speak, but so far I can’t think of a good hook, a la Nikita Mikhalkov making a Russian Western.)

The best episode ever was the second to last of last season.
Where he’s texting the 9 year old girl all episode.
“No I don’t watch Wizards of Waverly Place. I”M AN ADULT!!!!"
and then at the end the doctor thinks he’s a child molester
“Don’t tell your mom I got you a new pen!”
I love the episodes where you know they’re setting up something for later, but you’re not sure how it’s going to work out.

Yeah it is, and it's wicked
I’m a bigger fan of the comic, but the show is damned good. Frank Darabont is the right level of obsessive when it comes to details for this show.

but the gray one one with the tortoise shell design is pretty awful. also, why is maryland deciding that they must have yellow jersey in all sports now? the basketball ones are atrocious and the football ones aren’t any better. i like the rest of the jerseys and pants though, although the red-on-red is a bit much. overall i give them a solid “meh”

much like oregon has become the lab for wacky nike design concepts, so shall it be w/ maryland under armour.

and they got new ones this season, but they’re not nearly as ridiculous as the UMD ones
carolina in my mind...
MD is now part of the Under Armour brand
Just as Oregon whores themselves out to the Nike brand.
The paper says this is to update the team’s brand. They have it flipped. Under Armour is promoting their brand through a compliant prostitute. I presume the money is good.
Meh
I don’t care what they’re wearing as long as they win. I like the turtle shell design on the helmet. Some of the color combos on the unis are a little weird, but I like the entire package because I believe the kids will like it and it could be just enough to entice some recruits to come here. We must utilize the UA juggernaut in any way possible.

5.9 could be the largest recorded earthquake ever to happen in the Central Virginia Seismic Zone. Until now, the largest “damaging” earthquake had been a 4.8 in 1875.

just in case anyone is confused/angry
the rockies had a higher priority waiver claim than Baltimore for Rodriguez (as do all NL teams for NL players), so if the O’s were interested, it never got farther than that. And I’d like to imagine the O’s were interested.
Alright, whatever.
and just because a team claims a player, it doesn't mean they'll get him
i’m surprised this is even news at all. players get claimed all the time on waivers. it’s not news until we know what the astros do. they’ll probably pull him unless they’re offered a good trade.

the astros only have two options here
1) give him to the rockies for whatever deal can be worked out
2) keep him until at least this winter
Alright, whatever.
if the Astros are in complete salary dump, yes.
i know they’re rebuilding, but i didn’t think they reached the point where they’re just giving away players? wandy has been worth his contract. he’s been 3-4 win player the last couple of years. $12M for 3 years sounds like what he would get in free agency.

according to jimbo bowden
the astros aren’t looking to dump him. they want an actual prospect in return for wandy. of course, that could be posturing.
