The Orioles are idiotic if they're going after offense instead of pitching. 867246[/snapback] Have you seen the scores they have been losing by? Replace Ponson and Kline and the pitching is good.

Who's out there? Griffey? I don't think Dunn's available (I read the Reds are asking for way too much). 867476[/snapback] The Reds sure do want too much for Dunn, they told the Orioles the asking price started with Erik Bedard.

ESPNEWS just said that the 3 team deal with the Marlins, Orioles and Pirates will be completed as soon as Burnett agrees to a contract extension. He is asked for a 4 year $36 million deal. So, why can't we give this to him? 866071[/snapback] The Washington Post now says Burnetts wants something in the range of 50-55 million over 4 years. Juanky, my guess is management doesn't want AJ. Maybe its personal, maybe they fear his arm..who knows. 866112[/snapback]

He probably isn't starting because he hits under .250 against righties, and BJ Surhoff hits them at a near .300 clip. That's my guess though. 865664[/snapback] Probably has more to do than anything. We locals haven't heard a peep about any injury. And Julio threw 2 innings last night. And Burnett and Lowell are both in the lineup tonight. It's just Mazzilli juggling the lineup. 866019[/snapback] Probably doesnt matter but Bigbie is pinch hitting.

i live in Baltimore, so this is the first ive heard him...who woulda thought

this guy Boog is good, he rips on the callers

I will provide details and anything new when the show starts. Stay tuned. 864907[/snapback] Is there a link where we can listen to it on the web?

the o's are in a very tight playoff race and it boggels my mind that that's all there willing to give us....... Hayden Penn? 2-2 with a 6.75 ERA, im not going through a Jermey Bonderman experince from 03 just to get what the tiger got from bonderman this year....... Bigbie 27 years old 257 AVG 4 bombs and 19 RBI's EWWWWWWW Julio i like this kid, hasnt given up a run all month but makes 2.5 mil a year and we cant so much better if dont offer lowell...... give me Julio, Ryan, and Chris Ray........ and ill be fine with that if not look somewhere else and lowell is getting is swing back incase people aren't seeein it 864892[/snapback] It would take what benderorbot posted to make most of you happy...

If we're going to have to pay for a lot of Mikeys salary we might as well keep him. 864838[/snapback] Theres a big difference between $3-5 million and $22 million

The Washington Post? That is a credible baseball paper. 864192[/snapback] It is actually a lot more credible than the Baltimore Sun.

Enlighten me...why do the Pirates want Lowell? What do they gain out of this? 864137[/snapback] Getting Lowell without his whole contract for 2 free agents to be.

Steve Kline: a left handed specialist that cant get out lefties :lol :lol

I read an article today saying how so many teams are after bullpen help. Maybe 1-2 of those is to trade away??? 863807[/snapback] Hell, you can do whatever you want with them. Make them race around the warning track in the middle of the 6th inning for all I care, just take them!!! :o 863833[/snapback] They could dress up like bratwursts sausages like they do in Pittsburgh. 863853[/snapback] Hmmm, and there could be a contest to whack them with a bat like Randall Simon a couple years ago. We might be getting somewhere here! (oh and it's Milwaukee that does the sausage race, Pittsburgh has its own offshoot called The Perogie race, though). 863868[/snapback] Oh yeah, I think it was Randall Simon being on the Pirates that made me think that. But if there is any hitting with bats than that should be there farewell tour in Camden yards.

When someone reports that the O's are asking for Billy the Marlin for a macot to be named later as part of this, I'll know it's time to go to sleep! 863852[/snapback] Would the mascot to be named later come with his super soaker?

3 bullpen arms?? WTF? 863776[/snapback] 2...Reed and Kline combined equal about 1...AWFUL

Has anybody heard anything about if Burnett will start or not tomarrow or who might start in his place?

much better dont see why we cant get daniel now since O's dont have to take lowell 862473[/snapback] Good point, as I feel much better about Cabrera then Hyden Penn 862503[/snapback] The Marlins wont get Cabrera regardless...

Where does he rate in their system? Does anyone know if they have many other arms in their system, or would he be regarded less highly in a pitching strong system like our own? 862315[/snapback] There are other arms, overall the farm is somewhat weak but pitching is strong. Adam Loewen a high 1st round pick froma couple years ago is on his way, another is JOh Maine who is doing very well in triple A , just to name a couple.

He is right where he should be, he was dominating in double A before being called up.

Bigbie cant hit lefties? As an Orioles fan you should know that he is batting over .300 vs. lefties.

According to ken rosenthal a deal could be done by this afternoon..Oh and imo that yankees deal sounds pretty sweet Pavano,Rodriguez,and prospects :mischief 861708[/snapback] Dont see it happening, they have no prospects except Duncan and Pavano is injured.
