[JohnKleeb]

5. A cardinal is a bird too

:evilgrin:

[ofrfxsk]

11. Hey! No logic allowed.

[HEyHEY]

4. If I'm ever down your way

We seriously gotta go to an Orioles game

[JohnKleeb]

6. for sure

I'll be on my on a lot more once I graduate. I still don't drive though heh. Yeah have you ever been to the Yard? it's awesome.

[HEyHEY]

7. Never been to any major league park

I could have seen the Mariners once, but a friend came to visit at a last minnute notice.

[JohnKleeb]

10. You'll love it

Check your PM btw. Really this team with pitching and luck will be a good team.

16. Camden Yards is 1st class

I love Camden yards. Built right next to the Old Baltimore and Ohio railroad station.
I used to love Memorial Stadium too, it was in a really nice part of town. Saw my first baseball games there, as well as old Canadian Football league games which had a Baltimore team. But camden Yards is a way better stadium.

[JohnKleeb]

18. It's the best isn't it

Just love the city of Balitmore, Sox fans and Yanks fans should kiss our ass :D, our town raised the Bambino.

[Zuni]

23. Baltimore gets a bad rap.

My whole family has either grown up in or lived in Baltimore at one point. My dad grew up there. I lived there several times. My mom has lived in Baltimore when she was younger and when she was married. My brother just moved out of Baltimore.

I think Baltimore gets a bad rap just because it has a 'high murder rate' and the worst 'rate of STD infections'. Liberal crap.

[JohnKleeb]

28. Oh Baltimore is my favorite city

Just a great city with a lot of history, nice diversity of people, the inner harbor rocks, the aquairum, etc.

[Zuni]

19. Have you ever been to the MandT bank staduim (formerly PSINET)

I don't like it all that much.

[JohnKleeb]

20. You mean the Ravens park?

No, I haven't, I've never been to a single NFL game ever, and if I did go to one it would be at Heinz field since I am a Steelers fan but Ive seen that stadium before sure.

[Zuni]

26. yeah, Ravens stadium

Driving by, the stadium is all futuristic looking. Kind of garish. Don't like all that purple neon.
I like the old fashioned style from the Yard, and the design with the train station on the edge.

8. um . . . Kleeb . . . it's generally polite to preface humorous posts . . .

with the word "Joke" . . . remember that next time . . .

they may, however, win the award for the nicest ballpark . . . :)

[JohnKleeb]

9. oh to hell with you

:shrug: you didn't expect to blow a 3-0 lead to the Sox but it happened, watch you guys get your asses kicked by the O's next year, it can happen.

[Zuni]

13. Don't listen to them, Kleeb

they don't know any better. sad.

[JohnKleeb]

29. I know

:)
wrong once and wrong again :).

[Zuni]

12. This is what I like to see here

This kid's got good instincts.

The Os will devour the AL next year, Devour.

[JohnKleeb]

15. Hey you know what

I thought the sox still had a chance in the ACLS, I predicted a breakout performance by Schill in game 6, and a breakout of the sox bats in game 7, hopefully my election prediction will be right and this one too. I hope this happens, at the least I want an 80 game win season and at the most I want to go all the way.

[Zuni]

25. sounds good.

[camero]

14. I would love that

They need pitching. I wonder when Moose's contract is up?

[JohnKleeb]

17. I dont know

It's funny about moose, I think he left the team partially I know not totally but I think he wanted a championship, hell look at our past few the year he left, three straight fourth place finishes in the AL East and the Yanks three straight world championships, where's an ambitious guy like Moose gonna go, New York, the ironic thing though is :shrug: he still hasn't got one yet in 4 years as a yankee nor has he got a Cy Young or 20 games, his seasons with the orioles were actually better than his ones with the yankees. If the 1995 season had been 162, he would have won 20 at least and yes the Cy Young.

[camero]

21. He is always that close to 20

I think that was the reason too. He was really all they had the last 2 years before he left. With Ponson having a better year next year and the pitching that they have now, he might just be the one they need to get over the hump.

[JohnKleeb]

22. two 19 game winning seasons with us

We still need to improve our pitching for sure. It would be ironic if he came back with no world series rings from the yankees. I guess I can forgive him for leaving knowing some of the circumances, it just bites, because he should know he was a fan favorite, at least he was my favorite starter :shrug:.

[camero]

24. Mine too

Next to Jim Palmer all time. It would be good to have him back.

[JohnKleeb]

30. yep though I like McNally a lot

since he was a lefty like me.

[Zuni]

27. Not just pitching

but all round. The team was sorely lacking in cohesiveness this last season. New leadership.

[camero]

31. Chemistry takes time

But the pieces of the puzzle are there. But I don't think Palmiero will be there much longer due to age.

[JohnKleeb]

32. Shame

Raffy is a good guy though, maybe keep him as like a coach.

[camero]

33. He would be good for that

I just can't see him producing like he has in years past. He would make a good coach or manager.

[JohnKleeb]

34. I like Maz as manager but please keep Raffy when he retires as a coach

I think he's hall of fame caliber honestly.

[camero]

35. He would make a great hitting coach n/t

[JohnKleeb]

36. After the Crow leaves perhaps
