Such a great photo. I am rooting for these guys. Hope Mikey is having fun playing with his prospect cards, while thinking of new ways to fire long-tenured employees to make the operation "better"

Agreed, although I wouldn't put it past this front office to trot out some more retreads who are supposedly "hitters first" and then can't hit or play the outfield. They are forever trying to put infielders in the outfield without regard to defense.

I feel the exact same way about the outfield. If he tries to run it back with Taveras and any other combination of castoffs and retreads to start the season (while Cowser rides the pine), I truly believe that my head will explode.

But, but, but genius ME got such a good return for him. Playing 8D chess, he is.

For Christsakes, the last time I saw this many Yankee errors, Little Georgie McClellan was hiding behind Antietam creek with more than half his troops in reserve, while allowing Bobby Lee to roll up his left flank and then skeedaddle back to old Virginny.

And he has done this for years. Hearing Harold Reynolds talk about Palmer giving him tips that helped him twenty years ago. He really cares about his organization and it shows.

And he is convinced that Brian Baker nailing his save while facing the MFY up 1-0, is an anomoly. I mean, what does a team need with reliable relievers when there are prospects to be had?

Yes indeed. Gives him the freedom to call it like it is despite what the Front Office is saying. Bless him.

He is the only one related to the franchise who will tell it like it is. He's got zero fucks left to give at his age and experience. What a refreshing thing to have amongst a huge pile of yes men.

It's because ME loves those draft picks and prospect, but has no idea how to develop them into every day MLB players.

Great day whenever the MFY lose. Even sweeter when they only get 1 hit and a TOOTBLAN.

He’s boycotting Walmart because they’re selling Obama jackets. Ohana is the Hawaiian word for family. He’s one of the people who didn’t know there’s a “B” in dumb.

Had my first Fajitas in San Antonio in 1982, while visiting my cousins. They were homemade and absolutely spectacular. Still chasing the taste and smoky goodness of that intial encounter.

But come on, we have a ME chosen catcher who is hitting a sparkling .162, AND playing every day. 8D chess, that's what ME's playing, 8D chess.

LA Confidential. Young Russel Crowe and Guy Pearce. Excellent Kim Basinger (won Oscar for her role). One of the best Noir films of the last 50 years.

Thanks for the great coverage. Loved reading your insight and reporting. Looking forward to what you will have to say during the off season.

Solid fan base? Yes indeed. Really good talent? I will give the O's the benefit of the doubt with one eye closed on that one because of Pete. Well, two out of four ain't too bad.

He didn't care enough to not sell when there was a chance to make the playoffs.

Bird from Afar @farsideotworld.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Agreed. And I absolutely love Pete. Great deal. But where is the support for Pete? You run out guys batting under the Mendoza line every freakin' day because you can't find anyone decent enough to replace the guys you traded or run out relievers that suck.

Bird from Afar @farsideotworld.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Even when the whole AL was crap, he decided to sell,when there was still a reasonable chance to make the playoffs. 8 freaking years. It's nice to have those prospects, but that's little comfort while watching the the teams we dealt to in the playoffs.

But, but, but, high level, brand new, prospects.

Bird from Afar @farsideotworld.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
ME can collect all the quality prospects he wants, but the question remains is if he can develop them into major league quality players. Give up on the season for unproven prospects? 8 years have been more than enough. I certainly don't want to give him "just a few more years" to prove himself.

Bird from Afar @farsideotworld.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Not to mention trading away a quality relief (like we didn't need one of thoses) pitcher who has an ERA of 1.50 with his new team. ME gave up and killed any chance of the playoffs when he decided to sell in order to collect lots more of his shiny prospects. Ohhhh, my precious prospects!!!
