Hardball times says:

Last year, from September 1 onward, the Baltimore Orioles posted a team ERA of 6.89, which is the single worst September/October ERA baseball in the last half century. It's almost certainly the worst since the 1930s.

And they didn't just sneak over the border with this one—the second worst score was 6.55. Among all months in which a team played at least 20 games, it's the seventh-highest ERA. (Worst of them all? April 1994, by the Minnesota Twins, with an ERA of 7.34). Most months topping Baltimore are mid-summer ones, so factor in the game's annual temperature curve, and it's even worse for them.

Bubba: "Now Aubrey, do you jack off a lot on the road, like when you're not with your wife."

Huff: "It's all I do. It's all I do. You guys have no idea how much downtime there is in baseball. You wake up from a hangover about 1 o'clock."

Producer shouts: "In the afternoon?"

Huff: "Oh, yeah! Lemme tell you this. When you are hung over, how horny are you? I'm horny, when I'm hungover, I'm horny. So I'm just gonna beat off. And that's all I do."

THE OVERLORD

BALTIMORE -- Leo Mazzone was fired as pitching coach of the Baltimore Orioles on Friday, less than a month after completing his second season with a struggling staff.

GREAT IDEA!

Mazzone was proud of the work he did with starters Erik Bedard, Adam Loewen and Jeremy Guthrie, who have developed into solid major league pitchers. But he never could get through to Daniel Cabrera and some of the other pitchers on the youthful staff.

So he helped out all the young talent, and couldn't help Rick Vaughn not hit fans in alphabetical order by last name. GOOD LUCK O's Kiddies!

Washington Post article

But 15 minutes later, at the end of a wide-ranging interview with reporters, a cheerful Angelos had said: He would not sell the Orioles anytime soon, the Washington Nationals have cut into his team's profits, he broke up trade talks involving Brian Roberts, he has asked for a salary cap to curb escalating salaries and he has been unfairly criticized by fans and media.

HAHAHAHAHAH, Sorry.

"I just thought that Brian should stay an Oriole, not that the front office didn't think so, they were looking at it from a standpoint of improving the ballclub," Angelos said. "And they may have been totally right. I looked on it as the retention of a player that came through our system and who is of such great value to the club for all the things that he does out there with the public. . . .

PRICELESS.

"...Clearly, we need a cap in baseball just like there is in all the other sports."

You Douche. Didn't you steal part of the National's broadcasting money? OH MAN, I'M SO BROKE. Jenkins? Could you get me that 100$ bill to light my Cuban cigar and bring me one of the 13 year old Bangcock children to molest?
