Baseball can't market the Orioles and baseball is despondent over
that fact, they're excited that a low payroll team
is winning. They're upset that no one cares,
Mike. Why are you making faces at that?
Well, why can't they market the Orioles? The
Orioles used to be a, a big in the
nineties. They used to be a big time rating
. I know, I know cal used to be
a part of that, but that's a big media
market down there. They can't market the Orioles someone
new, someone exciting. Can you name five players
? They're all Austin Hayes, they all look like
Austin Hayes. And if you ask me to name
five, I'll say Roman, I'll give you so
much information on the rays if you want it because
the rays are all great. I think I could
do, I could look at you. I bore
you to tears. Really? Don't talk about Siri
. Uh no, I don't think that BJ Surhoff
, I think the Orioles are like the Stepford wives
of baseball, but it seems to work and it
is working and it is exciting and if you are
the owner of the Yankees or the Red Sox you
are truly despondent beyond repair. Watching the Orioles and
Rays be the dominant players in that division and that's
what leads to firing. Like Ken Bloom gets fired
. That's what's gonna lead to changes with the Yankees
because it is so bad to go to an owner
meeting and look at Angelos or look at ST and
realize that they're taking revenue sharing money from you and
then kicking your ass. But uh yeah, you
mentioned you, you gave us a revelation that Peter
Angelos is not dead but also not alive somewhere in
the in-between. And Dan mentioned that they're going to
be good for 10 years. So if they have
young players when I was growing up and even throughout
the, the 20 teens, the Orioles would still
spend dumb money. They, they usually had the
financial means to at least be accused of being able
to keep the guys that'll come up. Angelo's forgive
me on his history. Uh An Asbestos King was
very rich at one time, the Orioles mattered.
They were spenders. They built what the most modern
of parks a million years ago. And since then
, they have lost and lost money. And Angels
, what's happened to his money because he's not a
big player in this division or hasn't been financially David
and this division is turned upside down to me.
The most fascinating thing about the A L East is
that the Yankees and Red Sox aren't actually that bad
. They have all the money advantages. They're not
that bad this year. What it is though is
that Toronto Baltimore and the rays are a good deal
better and cheaper and getting paid for it.
