Baltimore Orioles Discussion

[mikehop05]

i really doubt girardi takes the job though, ol georgey boy up in NY is all over his nuts for next in line for the yankees job...

but then again if the yanks keep playing like this torre will have his job at the end of the year

[dcarey20]

All I can say is it's about time. Perlozzo is a nice guy but he was horrible this year.

[BigDawg819]

Perlozzo was a good/great 3rd base coach, as a manager he was a bum.

[jkpigskin]

finally....
i hope we can still have him as a bench coach or something

Eddie has been fired as a hitting instructor twice in the past 3 years and apparently has a bad rap with former players so I don't want him anywhere near the club.

We are the joke of the majors, it's sad.

This is truly rock bottom for what was once the pride of Major League Baseball.

i was lookin back at some of the games we missed... and we blew sooooooo many games

we blow

[mikehop05]

honestly i say we clean house

we keep markakis, ray, roberts and bedard.. maybe guthrie

then we trade anyone with value during the season for prospects... we get our prospects some PT, say **** the rest of the season and just let the kids play ball much like the marlins did

build up our farm system then hope to compete in a year or two

honestly i like this "lets win now" attitude that we have had now for 10 years... but obviously its not working, i would much rather goto a game and watch a bunch of kids play and have fun then watch these bums get embarrassed constantly

[Ravens1991]

a lot of ESPN people say the way the O's get back to a good level is to fire Peter Angelos. Do you agree?

i agree but rumors say we're frontrunners for Teixiera. If we do get him, I'd be mixed for he is a local but im all for the youth movement.

He's the owner so how is that possible?

of course i agree.. the only people that like angelos are the ones that are getting rich off him... and even they dont like him

he needs to just stick to his lawfirm and let this new guy come in and just hand him the keys to the team

its our best shot to win

ive heard this too, however, i believe he is signed through '08... so we would have to trade for him and the most recent trade rumor was for markakis and bedard, which is wayyy too much

i say we give them cabrera and mora

good read, especially the part about cal ripken evetually buying the team from angelos :)

[SuperKevin]

I miss going to Camden Yards. PetCo Park is really nice though too

[Ravens1991]

were you stationed in MD SuperKevin?



I really like the idea of a youth movment and build around Markakis.

Petco Park sucks for hitters.

[mikehop05]

[fischbowl]

this is momentous!

[mikehop05]

hopefully players like millar, more and huff start heating up, get their trade value up a little

tejada is set right now to go someplace...

we should do tejada for texeria straight up, then the rangers can trade tejada to the angels for a couple prospects
