fire trembley

So I have to wonder... is Anonymous actually DT asking for his release??

Well,Pete,sadly enough my 100 loss prediction is looking more and more plausible,and my theory that Trembley was just another yes man to the front office has proven to be true.My interest in the Orioles has dwindled to an occasional lukewarm comment and that's sad.Not sure that next year will be much better.Pie has looked alot better and worked very hard but Adam Jones struggled down the stretch and Jim Johnson as our closer inspires no confidence in me at all.We got very little out of any of our last 7 trades in my opinion,going back to Chad Bradford,and including Miguel Tejada,sad to say.The good news is we should get a high draft pick,the bad news is we are still 2 or 3 years away from even reaching .500.GO RAVENS and MD.

Pete's reply: Name me a manager who isn't a yes man to the front office.

Pete, are you drinking the negativity Kool-Aid here? j/k

Do NOT fire Smuck - we NEED Smuck!!

Burt, given the stated organizational goals-which were laid out in plain sight for all to see-what exactly should AM and DT in particular have done this year that would have won this team enough games to put your consistent boring ragging to rest? Perhaps DT should have thrown a tantrum , cursing out AM and PA, screaming at players, berating the ballboys. He KNEW what the deal was, and reupped for the job. And doing the dirty work that someone needs to do is not so pretty, but there is no way around it.

It's one thing to disagree with the long-term strategy of the club, and harp on that. It's another thing to beat the same drum every night when you are supposedly smart enough to know what the deal is, knowing the deal wasn't going to produce your satisfactory result.

By the way, if you think the lack of return for Chad Bradford has any importance at all on the long term health of this franchise, then I guess I know all I need to know about you and your views about building a baseball franchise.
You're not in charge, thankfully. And let it go already.

Any chance Harbaugh and Rosburg asked Katula to snap it low in the 4th to see how Hauschka would react to a non perfect lineup (i.e. would he rush his kick or keep his head)?

.............................................................................................
Pete's reply: No, because you could read Harbaugh's lips when he was asking what happened with the first low snap. He wasn't happy.

Isn't that interesting.

A coach holding his players to a high standard in a MEANINGLESS game.

Me thinks our baseball manager should take notes.

Hey Mark,

You're so right. Flacco was held to a very high standard last night. I hear his baseball had had to be perfectly centered at all times and his pads had to be neatly stored in his locker or he'd face fines and the Kangaroo Court after the game.
