o's get bud Norris for lj hoes? oshii also hammel on the dl

Just get Gonzales out of here....Bring back Gausman or something. Jesus.

this team sucks lol no way we keep up with the rays

This is probably the worst game I've seen all year. That Hardy error followed by the GS pretty much epitomizes this game.



I hate to say it, but if the O's don't get their shit together, they'll be stuck fighting for a wildcard (going to fall way short at this rate). Doesn't help that the Rays are playing unbelievable baseball right now.

Lol wtf orioles? 11-0 really?

TAMPA, Fla. -- The way Buck Showalter sees it, Alex Rodriguez's possible suspension would mean that the New York Yankees would end up with Baltimore Orioles catcher Matt Wieters in two years.

If Rodriguez is suspended for all of next season, the Yankees would not have to pay the embattled slugger's $25 million salary for 2014. The unpaid money would not count against the luxury tax and revenue sharing, which would make it much easier for the Yankees to fall under team owner Hal Steinbrenner's goal of a $189 million payroll for 2014.

The 27-year-old Wieters, who will be eligible for free agency after the 2015 season, is batting .239 with 14 home runs and 49 RBIs this year.

The Yankees will have several free agents this offseason, as they are expected to reshape their roster. Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Hiroki Kuroda, Andy Pettitte, Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain are among the players eligible to test the market.

After Rodriguez opted out of his previous record contract following the 2007 season, the Yankees signed the three-time MVP to a new 10-year, $275 million deal that included a possible $30 million in home run bonuses.

Whatever the length of Rodriguez's deal, Showalter thinks it is unfair the Yankees will receive salary relief from a suspension.

"They're the ones who signed him to that contract," Showalter said.

Rodriguez, 38, will play in a simulated game Thursday in Tampa as he tries to return from offseason hip surgery and a strained quad. ESPN's "Outside The Lines" reported Wednesday that Rodriguez's lawyers are in talks with MLB about the length of a possible suspension as a result of the Biogenesis investigation.


wieters in pinstripes gross lol

Sounds sexy to me.

Yeah, but maybe Peter Angelos would actually like to win something before he croaks... something to make up for decades of shittiness and mediocrity... maybe he will actually shell out some cash to win before he's gone and retain our young players.

you know we can't keep up with that kind of $$$ flow. they aren't paying 2.8 mil per win for no reason lol. they will always be able to offer moreeven if they don't void arod's contract, wieters has to want to stay in bmore.

I just want to keep all of our own talent, like Davis, Weiters, and whatever pitchers emerge down the line... but I know there is no competing with NY/Bos/LA's insanely wealthy markets if they want someone.
