I know...I was being sarcastic. yeah i know. If Tex wasn't from here the O's wouldn't have gone after him. He had a chance to be a hometown hero like Ripken was. He will be an afterthought in NY by the end of the year. I hope the extra few mil was worth it. I love the Wigginton signing btw...so cheap and he is very productive. Might get up to 30 HR this year. Probably only 25 but you never know.

They didn't go out and sign f'n Giambi or Abreu though! lol ohh wait...The Rays and Phillies didn't do shit like that either and look how they ended up. there is literally no comparison between the way the phillies and orioles operate. and the phillies, when they had baltimore's youth, did go out and get a lot of serious ML talent. hey, did you forget that they dealt for thome way back when? it's funny, because didn't the rays go get burrell this offseason? it doesn't take a genius to know that the orioles have nowhere near the future either of those teams had. the orioles were willing to spend huge on a prize 1b, but didn't care to get very good bats in their lineup at cheaper prices, when it would in no way interfere with their future. they've sucked for 12 seasons now, right? you're kidding if you think they're doing a good job being patient just because they have good prospects. if i were a fan of that team, that'd be the last thing i'd want to see. why struggle another season when you could get one or two legitimate bats around markakis and try to win games? I think a guy that hit .285 with 25 HR that is only 31 isn't a bad FA pickup. How is that worse than Burrell or Giambi? Tex is f'n from Baltimore. Did you not know that? That is why they went after him. If he wasn't from Baltimore they wouldn't have gone after him. The pitching staff is a year away. We know that. The offense is very good though. The O's also locked up all their core guys before they became FAs. Any team in baseball would give up anyone in their minor league system to get Weiters also. He is THE BEST prospect in baseball. There is no waiting he will be up this year. He tore it up in ST and he will make an imediate impact. SP is the one area where we have to wait a year.

Pirates history > Buccaneers history. No debate there. Considering the Buccaneers are a relatively "new" franchise compared to other franchises no shit dumbass.

what cracks me up the most about jah's logic is the fact the rays are in the same division as the orioles. they have a ridiculously steep hill to climb to be back, and if wieters is ready to produce this year, why wouldn't you want to try to establish a formidable 3-4-5? there were a lot of good bats out there this offseason, and they chose to go for broke on tex and not even try to snag any of the other good bats out there. first off, the fans deserve a decent product. second, the organization needs to show it gives a shit about winning. it's fine to clear room for prospects and build through your farm system, but what the hell, dealing for pie is the best they can show of this offseason? that's awful. the phillies won the ws and signed ibanez. it's no coincidence that they won the year they acquired street and blanton. the rays developed a ridiculous roster, but they dealt for garza, and were willing to spend on burrell or giambi. you act like all these teams do is sit on their prospects. no, that's what the orioles do, and you're a delusional fan because you're willing to wait and wait and pat them on the back for having good young players.
