Post-Game Trembley - MASNsports.com
"I thought there were four at-bats in the game that were key for me - the two guys that walked, and after the wild pitch, the two productive outs." Great. Now he's gonna think sacrifices and hit and runs are good again. There's no such thing as a productive out, Dave. You only get 27. Don't give them away. -duck

Dave Trembley Managerial Situation - Schmuck
Schmuck returns to being an idiot. "[B]ringing a big-time manager into this competitive environment at this particular point in time would be problematic for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it's going to be very hard to find one to take the job under the current circumstances. The Orioles have 115 games left and whoever takes over the team is likely to lose a lot more of them than he'll win, which creates the likely prospect of going into 2011 as the returning manager of one of the worst teams in baseball. Um, Peter? Last I checked, manager openings rarely come up for teams that aren't among the worst teams in baseball. You'd have to think that when there are only 6 or 7 managerial changes per year, it's not that hard to find high-profile guys who want to get back in to the game. -zk
