PrintLots of information, if not actual news, out of yesterday's FanFest activities and availabilities.
Strong turnout for Orioles FanFest - Carroll County Times: Local
Adam Jones on the city's passion for the Ravens this weekend: "This just shows that this city is loyal and if we were to win, I think this whole damn place would be full."
School of Roch: Johnson expects to be in bullpen in 2012
"Johnson knew what was coming. Is he going to be a starter or reliever this season? "You guys probably know more than I do," he said. "I'll be in the bullpen. I'm pretty sure about that." As the closer? "We'll figure that out in the spring," he replied."
Steve Melewski: Jones on trade and contract talks
"I like Baltimore. I've planted some roots here and I like working in the city. If I am fortunate enough to be here a long time, I can build trees from those roots. I'm from California, but that doesn't mean anything about my career. I just live in California," he said.
Baltimore Orioles right-fielder Nick Markakis looks to be ready for Opening Day | MLB.com: News
"This could be a good thing," Markakis said of allowing his body time to heal. "I've never actually taken off a full offseason to rest. I talked to Aubrey [Huff] before I had my surgery, and he came off his best year after the surgery, and he was kind of on the same routine I'm on. He rested the whole offseason, and he got back in the swing of things after he had his surgery in January. I'm not saying I'm expecting to go out there and have my best year, but we'll see how things play out, and we'll go from there."
Dan Duquette and the Baltimore Orioles address 2012 team at Orioles FanFest | MLB.com: News
"We should be able to sign a few more players to supplement our roster, players we can at least take a look at in camp," Duquette said. "We'll continue to work on improving our roster. That never stops, really, but I think there's a good opportunity to add a few more players here in the next couple of weeks."
School of Roch: Orioles' international efforts return to Korea
"Anyway, the Orioles apparently signed a 17-year-old high school pitcher from Korea who's rated as its top amateur. And unlike Chong Tae-Hyon, he won't change his mind."
Orioles hope to make inroads in city that’s gone crazy over NFL’s Ravens - The Washington Post
"The Orioles on Saturday held an event designed to create a buzz about the club before spring training begins next month. Unfortunately, the timing couldn’t have been much worse. Not only was city awash in purple on the eve of the Ravens’ appearance in the AFC championship game, but it also snowed overnight."
Arrieta eager to show Orioles that elbow problems are in the past - baltimoresun.com
"Orioles right-hander Jake Arrieta said he's progressing well from August surgery to remove a ping-pong ball-sized bone chip from his right elbow."

Adam Jones’ comments are encouraging. Has he ever said anything to that effect before? I don’t think he has. Put me in the “pay the man” camp!

Wayward, it's the first time I can remember where he went beyond just "I like Baltimore"
Jones was one of the few players where I didn’t go over for the gaggle. I was trying to catch up on the last few interviews. Looks like that was a bad decision as he actually said something interesting.

I'm encouraged by Nick Markakis' comments
If he had his best year yet this season, it could really lift the rest of the team. Outside of Brian Roberts, Nick has been the core to build from, but we’ll see I guess.
I remain optimistic!

I'd put it this way; if an offense is a sugar cookie, on base percentage is the pastry part of the cookie, power is the icing, and baserunning is like the jimmies that they sprinkle onto the icing. - Bill James
Jake's bone chip was the size of a ping pong ball?
Jesus, that’s a helluva thing to be pitching around. Good riddance.
"End of season like this, to make Boston go home sad, crying, I’ll take it all day."—Robert Andino
Jake seemed to be the most excited for the upcoming season out of all of the players.
After the group of reporters around him broke up, he was chatting with Melewski about some of the specific mechanical improvements he feels like he’s been able to make, raising his release point, keeping it more consistent, better velocity. If all that stuff is going to show up in games then I think he is poised to take a step forward.

I don't really know about the atmosphere.
I didn’t get a lot of free time to roam, except for before things were underway and after things were already winding down. They said the attendance was about 9,000 and apparently it’s usually about 10,000. I don’t know if weather kept 1,000 people away.
The people who were at the panels are clearly excited about Orioles baseball though. All day any time somebody brought up game 162 in a question or a response, everybody started clapping and whooping.

I wonder if Arizona Cardinals fans
fondly remember knocking out the Minnesota Vikings on the last day of the 2003 season.
I was excited as anybody when the ninth inning rally happened, but I’m honestly uncomfortable with celebrating that as a great Orioles moment.
"Tragedy is what happens to me. Comedy is what happens to you." -Mel Brooks
It was just last season, though
When there’s more baseball, it’ll probably fade into its place. Of course, its legacy partly depends on whether the Red Sox go another 86 years before winning the World Series.
by perpetualstudent on Jan 22, 2012 12:33 PM EST up reply actions
The many dynamics at play on Sept. 28, 2011 can't ever be duplicated by the NFL.
I don’t think there’s any point in trying to compare. The steady collapse of the Red Sox on a near-daily basis over a whole month, the culmination of that in two series with the Orioles, and on the night itself, the rain delay in Baltimore during which the Rays were surging in Tampa, the near-simultaneous walk-offs, the fact that it was hated rivals for the Orioles, and the Sox fans were in the stands being obnoxious… the sheer improbability of the comeback and the win being a result of Davis, Reimold and Andino.
Really though, I hope the O’s start winning again so we can all be like, “Man, remember when the best thing that happened was knocking out the Red Sox in 2011? Glad those days are gone!”

Jones is confused between
loyalty and fans flocking to a winner.
"I think not sucking is way more of an important thing to pay attention to first." -- Gabe Newell
And apparently people are going to throw around cliches at random.
"I think not sucking is way more of an important thing to pay attention to first." -- Gabe Newell
Don't see how
if you are loyal, and can afford it, you are going to the games regardless of the record. Pretty simple.
"I think not sucking is way more of an important thing to pay attention to first." -- Gabe Newell
Yeah but it's all subjective. You say they're flocking to a winner, they say they're loyal
and nobody has any way to “proove” anything
Is going to games a pre-requisite for being a loyal fan?
I don’t agree with that premise.

Frankly,
I don’t care to give Peter any more money than necessary. I watch about 90% of the games on TV but I’m not going to spend more than a few dollars to see a woeful sack of shit team run by a megalomaniac shithead owner.
Tommy hunter still sucks!
Not to mention that for anyone outside of the city...
… going to a game is guaranteed to be a fairly expensive night out. Even if you get a pair of $10 tickets, you’re going to pay another couple bucks for ticket charges most likely, transportation money, parking money (most likely), food, etc. Two people are likely to spend $50-$75. That’s not cheap to see a crappy team.
That number rises dramatically if you 1) want to sit anywhere in the lower deck or 2) drink booze.
by Tezcatlipoca on Jan 22, 2012 4:04 PM EST up reply actions
I spent $200 for my partial season tix plan ($15/per tix)
and it costs me approx $65 min to go to each game (gas, tolls, parking, beer & food). That shit adds up quick.

Gotta drink like a college freshman across the street before the game
and find one of those parking places for $10. I usually get away with only spending something on the order of $30
factored in. usually get 3 Natty Bohs, min. over at Pickles before each game.

Sec. 87 row 2 seat 1 (out in LF)
I thought about moving to the seats directly in front of the press boxes for this season, but there wasn’t anything available there. And, just decided that there is no point in spending extra coin when I can basically move wherever I want most games. Spent most of last year’s games sitting in various seats along the 1st base line

Hmmm
I talked to Aubrey [Huff] before I had my surgery, and he came off his best year after the surgery, and he was kind of on the same routine I’m on.
Do you guys read this as Huff was on the same routine he’s on post-surgery or that Huff had been on the same off-season routine as Nicky before they both had to get surgery?

Ah
so it’s not Nicky finally admitting that he doesn’t do shit in the offseason just like Huff.

after losing to the colts twice
the steelers twice, the epic collapse last year and big drops by boldin and housh, and this year lee evans and cundifff… it’s almost easy to believe in curses
Flacco came up big for the most part.
That’s something to take out of it, I guess. Try again with a real OC, and hope that they can actually score more points, ’cause the defense is probably about to start allowing more.

even if both Reed and Lewis retire
or fall off the cliff, still a lot of playmakers on the D. Suggs, Ngata, Webb are excellent. Pollard, Johnson, Kruger, McPhee, J Smith… all good players, the last two rookies that will only get better. I’m not too worried about the D longterm.
And it's not like the Steelers are getting any better.
The Bengals might be a concern though.

Steven Tyler would only like that from an underage girl.
(And according to my viewing of The Soup, that’s no the first time he’s leered at an underage girl.)
OK so two things
One is that Willie Randolph is no longer employed by the Orioles.
Two is that, I know it’s kind of beside the point, but is there really a guy on the Patriots named Antoine Moldin? Is it Anquan Boldin in a mustache?

Hey, everyone
been a while since I’ve posted on here, but I still follow along. I just lost all faith in the O’s…don’t know why I remained an optimist for so long, but this year was finally rock bottom for me and I had to take a break from O’s talk. Anyway, after the Ravens loss, I gotta move on from one disappointment to another. So, just gotta hope for a miracle (or ten) that the O’s can win back my trust a little.
Neither team seems interested in winning this game.

Oh, I'm sorry it wasn't as eloquent as you would have liked
I was just too busy celebrating last night to come up with much more than that

I love how according to the salty Redskins fans on this site
The Giants basically lucked their way to the Super Bowl. I suppose if they win it will be because Tom Brady handed it to them and Eli was crying like a baby so hard he couldn’t even see down the field but all of the Patriots defenders ran smack into each other and fell down, allowing the Giants to score.
I don’t have a horse in this race but I’m so tired of reading the same things every week.

Will Tom Brady go in to return punts and muff two in a row at the end of the game to allow the Giants to tie and then win?
If so you bet we’ll say he handed it to them.

Don't get me wrong
I know there are individual plays that can be disected like that. But I feel like I’ve been reading that for every game the Giants have won this entire year. That’s what makes it tiresome.
And also I obviously know what it’s like to hate a team. I have nothing against someone being all “Fuck the Giants, stupid fucking assholes.” It’s the constant explaining away that gets to me.

Of course you do. Everyone knows that Daveh is your favorite ;)
I'd put it this way; if an offense is a sugar cookie, on base percentage is the pastry part of the cookie, power is the icing, and baserunning is like the jimmies that they sprinkle onto the icing. - Bill James
