30, 3, Life and Stuff
Disclaimer: This post may contain bad language, unethical remarks and a reference to how much I hate Canada….. So please read at your own risk.
First off: F@#K Peter Angelos….
Well I haven’t published much on this blog lately because my life has been really uneventful and well I just haven’t felt like it. Today is just one of those days where I needed to vent.
As I have posted I am an Orioles fan. I was born in Baltimore and bleed orange and black when my cuts are infected anyways. I use to cry as a kid when Baltimore would lose but if I did that now I would have to explain to the rental office how my apartment remains flooded. Now I just sit back and complain…. ALOT!
I was getting pretty angry at the whole Matt Wieters fiasco but the Orioles resolved it and I decided against killing myself and sending the video to Peter Angelos’s office. I may just do it anyways today.
Yesterday afternoon I read an article that says the Orioles decided to give Dave Trembley the coaching job next year…. I thought this was premature. I figured the team may want to interview a few candidates at the end of the year and then make a decision. Obviously in the short time he has been manager the team has played better. I just don’t think he “Deserved” the job right away.
Look at the previous managers.
Lee Mazzilli, I actually think he did well and should’ve been given a better chance. When the Orioles were healthy we were winning. The problem was injuries and well he got fired.
Sam Perlozzo was given the job midway through the 2005 season because he “deserved” it. Before even evaluating at the end of the season how well he did(and he didn’t do great) they gave him the job for 2006… Perlozzo was fired in the middle of the season this year.
Joe Girardi turned the job down(can’t blame him).
Dave Trembley was given the job on an interim basis and hasn’t done really bad up until yesterday. He still hasn’t proved that he should be given the job full time but maybe I’m just cynical because his minor league record of 1369-1413 in twenty years. The orioles should’ve waited till the end of the season.
So now onto yesterday’s double header… The orioles lost the first game 30 to 3 and the second one 9 to 7(figured they would lose it because of momentum). Tell me why Trembley didn’t have a pitcher plunk one of the Texas batters at 20-3??? Where the hell is your balls? I know people say that is bad sportsmanship but you wonder why a baseball team hasn’t scored thirty runs in 100 years?? because the other team would plunk a batter. Doesn’t have to be hurtful or injure the player… just send a message…. Was it good sportsmanship for them to continue to run up the score when the game was well in hand? It was in bad taste for them to continue to play as they did and Trembley had a chance to send a message and he didn’t.
To make matters worse, my job is to watch the news…. EVERY(even political and financial) show had to discuss the game. I’m glad my blood pressure hasn’t been checked today…. I would probably end up in the hospital.
I decided to start wearing a paper bag over my head when I identify myself as an Orioles fan. I also didn’t cut out any holes in the bag because I’m hoping I suffocate…(yes I have always been this hardcore :p )
And the only reason I hate Canada today is…. Erik Bedard can’t pitch every single game for the Orioles.
PLEASE BRING BACK DAVEY JOHNSON!!!!!!
Other then that life is good!

I was wondering when you were going to post again and I was sure that this would inspire you. 30 unaswered points is hard to recover from for a FOOTBALL team, let alone baseball. And yea, I checked right away to see that not since the 1897 has one team scored more than 30 runs.
Angelis has been the worst thing that happened to that team. I know someone who’s family cancelled their season tickets when the Nationals started in D.C (worth the commute from Baltimore just to not give Angelis their money anymore).
And don’t hurt yourself. Though it you must, plastic is much more effective than paper. That’s how I felt when the Red Sox got swept in a 5 game series by the Yankees last year.
I hadn’t even thought about the fact that you have to watch the news for work and couldn’t hide from this no matter how hard you tried. Sorry hon.

I know it was a joke, thus the recommendation for plastic vs. paper (it holds a seal much better and will work faster) ;-p
