• Having two functioning knees • my “Pistolero” era Frank Black & the Catholics t-shirt • $1 drafts

I’m still looking for proof that he’s the genius at drafting and development that people claim he is (and that I myself believed for a long time), because having highly ranked prospects isn’t proof of that—what players do *consistently* after they reach the majors is. And we have not seen that.

Doucet or GTFO

Embrace the liberating truth that you're not paid to be a sports executive or a political strategist, and you don't owe these people constructive criticism!

It’ll be all systems go for his April trip to the IL.

Glad someone asked that follow-up.

He will never have a goal to win a World Series. As long as he has his draft picks and prospects to keep things cheap, he’s happy. He can go.

he’s fucking doing the same thing over-and-over again, expecting different results. Isn’t that the definition of insanity? Compete for the division? You don’t want to win a World Series Mike?

honey can you please outline how this wasn’t a priority to announce

What he means is he’s gonna stand pat and make no meaningful acquisitions, because ✨look at my pretty little prospects✨

Remains to be seen if the move was a positive one.

they’re absolutely gonna goddamn retain him and nothing will change except the loss column getting heavier

Sports always hurts me. Like, goes out of its way to hurt me. This never hurts me. Not even when Jericho is getting too much camera time.

Don’t thank us. Apologize to us.

Orioles fans, read this article and tell me if it sounds familiar.

it’s a good day to fire the entire Orioles coaching staff

they’re gonna retain Mansolino, go back to the ornithologically correct loser bird and sign/trade for a grand total of nobody, and it’s gonna get worse in ‘26

179 days until it’s all going to hurt daily and nightly again because the bastards will do nothing to improve the on-field product.

I know that if the impossible ever happens, I would be the most insufferable winner. Every “congratulations” from other fan bases would be met with outright hostility because of years of being the punching bag.

I’m still so angry and bitter over baseball. This is what my Orioles fandom has become. It was pure at some point. Now I just hate so many people, so many teams, so many fan bases, and probably also myself. And I’m coming to terms with the anger, knowing it’s all I have left as a fan.

Elias desperately wants to re-tank.

May every AL East team crash out as soon as possible in the most embarrassing fashion. If I don’t get to be happy, no East fan gets to be happy.

So I have a lot of family members who are Yankees fans. Most of my friends are Cubs or Cardinals fans, with pockets of Red Sox, Yankees or other teams. I can safely say that *none of them deserve baseball joy more than I do or O’s Bluesky does*. When’s it ever gonna be our time? Where’s our joy?

Nobody in the front office or owner’s box cares, Westy. Their checks clear. Or their revenues are high enough to give them a nice ROI. Ws and Ls don’t matter to Rubenstein & co. as long as they’re operating deep enough in the black.

We deserve better than this ownership group and front office are willing to give us. #Birdland

*staring directly at the camera*

Oh yes they fucking can. And Elias will make sure they will.

101 wins in 2023. 75 wins in 2025. Un-fucking-acceptable.

You who follow me: You’re all lucky you don’t live among Yankees fans. They truly have no idea what having to earn success is. And they have *zero* grace. Just the absolute dregs of baseball fandom. They deserve nothing that they have.

butbutbut the draft order and my ✨prospects✨

this fucking team (both of them, derogatory)

You’re welcome. - Baltimore Orioles

Sixteen dingers, but he’ll finish below the Mendoza line. Brutal.

Dean Kremer bay bay

If THIS is still the list of choices at the beginning of Spring Training, Mike Elias needs to be arrested, not just fired. #Orioles #Birdland

WELP

welp

I got a bad feeling about the rest of this match. I hope I’m wrong. #FFC #COYW

You’ve gotta be kidding me. Clear trip, clear handball and somehow we walked away with a Josh King yellow

Jesus christ PGMOL is insane that's a blatant handball in the box on a shot. Why do we even have VAR. Look forward to the espn apology column allowing this travesty.

PGMOL having a rough go at it this weekend, thats the most blatant penalty for handball ive seen in a very long time #premierleague #fulham

AND HOW WAS THAT NOT A HANDBALL

That yellow is a JOKE! #FFC #COYW

well, hello there, nightmare scenario #FFC #COYW

For two decades we’ve overinflated the egos of digital engineers, coders, etc to the point where much of Silicon Valley (in my experience) is an echo chamber of misunderstanding sci-fi books, “big brain” nonsense, narcissism and confident idiots This guy is their king

so uh where is rodrigo muniz

Counterpoint: There are many wonderful soccer leagues to get you through winter’s slog as you wait for pitchers and catchers to report

look at my field of ✨prospects✨

to be clear, it's not a lawsuit — they are criminal charges, and only half of them have been dismissed (so far!)
