    Jealous. You have an all-time elite play-by-play icon and we're stuck with, well, Monotone Mel. And look how classy Hoiles is. No bat flips. No pointing fingers. No jumping and skipping. No chest thumping. Man I miss those days.

    That is when I worked downtown and they went Wire to Wire, damn it was a good time to be an O's fan. Not sure what the hell happened over the last 25 years, oh wait...

    Not the first time I was banned. Once tried to make a funny quip about an O's player and evidently it wasn't funny.

    Baltimore Orioles' Chris Davis retires, citing hip injury :

    https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...ing-hip-injury

    " Davis, 35, was going to miss the entire 2021 season after surgery in May to repair the labrum in his left hip. He had not played since Baltimore's spring training opener in February. "

    Next year would have been the final season of Davis' seven-year, $161 million contract. OUCH!!!

    ... Bc

    Quite possibly the worst contract in the entire history of Major League Baseball. It's that freaking bad.

    It's so bad that it played a small part in the Orioles letting go of non-player employees this past off season. Announcers, hosts, ticket takers, what have you.

    It's the Heaven's Gate of baseball contracts. The most money ever paid to a below replacement player.

    The sabermetricians tried to warn the Orioles but Scott Boras worked his magic and fucked everybody except himself and Chris Davis.

    It’s never been made clear who exactly the O’s were bidding against when they gave Davis that moronic deal. Buck had them looking pretty good for a little while, and that Davis contract was the beginning of the fall. Crush was pretty awesome for a few years, best of luck to him for whatever is next. Should have plenty of money.
