MacPhail: Deal is dead (p. 297), stop posting, go outside

For those who want to see how Orioles fans see this...

 

Link.

I've been trying to get on their the last couple of days but you now have to be a member. Any of their insiders saying anything?

 

 

Nothing really.

 

Of course, the consensus there is that they want Hill + Pie for Roberts. If it's Gallagher, they want Gallagher + Pie + Patterson.

 

I've learned since reading that board, that they expect a lot for their players.

 

For what reason do you have an account on an Orioles message board?

 

You don't usually have to. I think they shut down access to visitors to keep the load down on their servers.

It's interesting to get perspectives from other teams' fans.

A couple of legit insiders post there.

So you've learned what we already knew, that Baltimore sports fans are a largely delusional bunch? :-k

Yep. I haven't seen any of them chime in on this news yet. One of them said yesterday that Roberts wouldn't be traded.

I have accounts on lots of boards, but rarely post on them. It's times like these that it makes it nice to be able to check in on what's being said. Off the top of my head, I have accounts at a Cardinals board, Brewers board, Astros board, Rangers board, Yankees board, Braves board, Reds board, Marlins board, Orioles board, and Dodgers board. There may be a few others as well. I once had an account at White Sox Interactive, but I got banned.

Fans of every team are guilty of that. :D

 

Seems like a decent place. I already hang out on a couple of other boards as it is...

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'd like to see if we could pry both Tejada and Roberts in a mega deal.

 

We could possibly unload Dempster or Marquis on them to help offset some salary.

Speaking of delusional wishes from the fans! ;)

Yeah, I'm sure the Orioles would be all over that trade. :D

[Post Count Padder]

I won't give up Hill or Pie unless Bedard is involved.

 

Though, how much better will Bedard be in his prime than Hill?

[BigbadB]

Considering some of the other deals with the Orioles, I think it's about high time they get the short end of the stick.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I think y'all would enjoy this post about who the Orioles could use at 2b if they trade Roberts...

 

If we dont get anyone, I wouldnt mind trying Bynum at 2B. Do you think he could work there?

I might have to register there to warn them of the oncoming dangers!

Maybe i should too.......

 

*remembers all the times the Orioles bested us in trades*

 

.....on second thought.

it's like watching a lion attack a gazelle on a safari -- stay out of the way. you just need to let nature run it's course

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I thought everyone would like that one.

 

I guess it's nice to know someone appreciates the talents of Fast Freddy.

[TruffleShuffle]

hey remember how the tigers traded for a great hitter and a decent starting pitcher, and did so without subtracting much from their big league team? let's try that when we trade; i.e., don't trade Hill, Soto or any other young player big league player that other teams are interested in.

 

Pie I'd sell now if necessary, before he proves to suck once and for all.

[Outshined_One]

Remind me again who the Cubs have offloaded onto the Orioles and vice versa...

 

Sammy Sosa

Corey Patterson

Freddie "Boom Boom" Bynum

Steve Trachsel

 

I have a feeling I'm missing someone.

Maybe we need to trade them Jim Hendry, who is an expert on acquiring 2b's.

[Bruce Miles]

Lots of hurdles to overcome, but there could be something to this one. Cubs are interested. MacPhail will ask a lot for a guy with a 48.6 VORP. The owner loves this guy, so don't underestimate that. But it's not out of the question, either.

I'll bite first (sorry for bugging you Bruce), any guess as to timeframe if there is something to this? Are we talking something that could break tonight or might it be a while?
