I'll let them speak for me. <br /><br />On another note, lots of bile in the local AM paper for an owner who moved his pointy ball team and died this week. Also talk about how the local baseball team is not spending enough and that their skipper, while not a bad guy, may have to take the fall this season. Can you guess where I am? :-)natsfan1ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540238101124316529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-7746276355850123342012-09-09T08:45:50.618-04:002012-09-09T08:45:50.618-04:00i keep hearing my father's voice saying, "...i keep hearing my father's voice saying, "someday you'll thank me for this."<br /><br />waddu eye nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03901442022655205900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-21842272246281362092012-09-09T05:41:49.020-04:002012-09-09T05:41:49.020-04:00Get over it 'Burg, or go cry in your soup with...Get over it 'Burg, or go cry in your soup with another team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-1576210103789773422012-09-08T23:19:58.458-04:002012-09-08T23:19:58.458-04:00Maybe they'll let him pinch hit.

I am hoping there is way that MASN can allow Bobby C and FP to cover the playoffs. I really do not want to listen to MLB networks buffoons' nonsense. <br /><br />DC does not deserve this, we have waited a long time for this and now it appears it will be soiled by the loud mouths of MLB network.

A young 2b with the O's was part of the a 109 win club and best DP combo's in baseball, his name Davey Johnson. <br /><br />Yes, this young lad was excited for the future, only to have Bob Short destroy this and many other young fans dreams.
