Nais, did you apologize to Saratoga for "dressing down" the wrong guy?

On another note, it's Day 2 for pitchers and catchers at Orioles camp. Got my tickets for their season opener with the D-Rays.

CC,
Went back and reread a few posts. Are you talking about CS' flair for making fashion statements?

I thought Saratoga hit me with a very nice response...witty and funny.....sort of like your style

Actually, I tend to agree with Saratoga on the discipline and dress code ...until I remember how long my hair was and how sloppily I dressed at their age...lol

I can show you a pic of me on the links squad that you wouldn't recognize....even I don't recognize myself.

Naismith: His act needs to be cleaned up both on & off the court & you can take that to the bank. Forget the racetrack for now...if he doesn't get his crap together & soon, he'll be doing what his last name implies in the stables for a living. What...not GQ...so the Armani & VanCleef & Arpels was all for naught...can't trust any of those CV reporters these days. By the way...Kings by 4. Still working on the Scranton/Lyco line

By the way, if Saratoga bets the horses as well as he makes lines....I'd like to sponsor him in Vegas for a few handicapping tournaments. An acquaintance of mine...Mr. Mel Moser of Pittsburgh finished 3rd this year in the World Series of Handicapping losing the title on the very last bet.

Cold-Case,
My condolences on scoring such tickets.

I guess nothing says quality like the Sammy Sosa-less, Tony Batista-less, Brady Anderson-less Orioles taking on the zero-time defending AL East Champion Devil Rays. "My advice to you is to start drinking. Heavily."

C'mon now, CJ.

You just have to sell it right. Think of it more as a motocross event.

BASEBALL FANS!!! Comedown to Camden Yards for experience of a life time

(Feel the rush!)

They'll be thrills...chills...and Javy Lopez

(Kids get in free!)

But that's not all...the first 2000 fans get a free Melvin Mora Bobblehead...and Carzilla will throw out the first pitch!

(BREATHES...REAL...FIRE!!!)

See? Now it's exciting.

Now that King's has beaten Drew, I'll drop a little more Bracket-ology on you.

King's and Scranton are currently tied at 10-3. Should they remain tied after Saturday (be it 11-3 OR 10-4), Scranton gets the #1 seed, pending the Apocalypse scenario below. UofS wins the tiebreaker by virtue of having split with King's and then having a better record vs. Lycoming. For the sake of completeness, Wilkes is the only other possible #3 seed, and both King's and Scranton split with Wilkes.

Apocalypse Scenario:
DeSales beats Scranton AT Scranton (having previously lost at home)
Delaware Valley beats Lycoming AT Lycoming (having previously lost at home)
FDU-Florham beats King's
Drew beats Wilkes

This scenario generates a tie for first at 10-4, and a 3-way tie for 3rd at 8-6. Given those 4 staggering upsets all occurring simultaneously, King's gets the #1 seed. Then, on Wednesday Night, it's:
Lycoming at King's
Wilkes at Scranton

DeSales gets eliminated with last night's King's win / Drew loss. That messes with the third tie-breaker for 1st place, in the Apocalypse Scenario. Trust me. DeSales is now done.

Assuming four "chalk" outcomes on Saturday, Wilkes wins a tie-breaker over Lycoming. (Split against each other, both split against King's, Wilkes beat Scranton, Lycoming didn't.) Thus, Wednesday night will be:
#4 Lycoming at #1 Scranton
#3 Wilkes at #2 King's

Any questions??

Yeah, when do you break the egg into the frying pan?

Don't drink, sorry. I didn't think mentioning the O's would subject me to such an ambush.
You did forget to mention the Jim "Don't call me Bob" Dwyer-less Orioles.
Speaking of the latter, where is Nais?

Sitting in the corner after being scolded Jerry "Stringer" of Old Forge fame.

Actually, Nais has a day job other than being your sparring partner.
Absorbed enough jabs the last couple of days ........and the Kings-Drew was a sleeper.....and they had no chile at Senunas.......and I couldn't locate Leo the Lion to buy him his brew (75 cent drafts at Senunas Thurs.).....

So, nothing to report......

But I did have a question for the all knowing CC .....the Sultan of Scranton......the Wizard of Wilke-Barre .....the Mayor of Monarchdom.........
Your humbleness........Met a pair of avid and knowledgeable Scranton fans last nite.
How familiar are you with D3 posters of that persuasion.
One related the Hal Danzig story I read here so I thought....perhaps...I was chatting with a fellow d3 forum member.

And as you know Mr. CC Scooter Libby Cheney Rove, it is always nice to meet your comrades in posting even if they 'out' your indentity.

Naismith....who never played for the Orioles...

Nais, I tried to unravel the logistics of your post. Can't do it. I guess my dad was right, "sometimes you make me wonder if your antenna stops at all the channels."
E-mail me with a heads-up on what you are saying, if you wish.

NEPAFAN · February 17, 2006, 01:51:34 PM

N,

YOu were in enemy territory last night? Where did you meet these Royal fans?

naismith · February 17, 2006, 02:00:17 PM

Sitting up in the rafters opposite the player's benches.
I was sitting with a local high school zebra who schooled me on the fine art of officiating.

It was interesting to hear his comments and point of view.

cold_case · February 17, 2006, 02:10:00 PM

Nais, that's all well and good but the only thing I can from your post is that you're calling me out about something?

ColdCase: Another Oriole fan in Northeast Pa....I thought my family & I were the only ones...and to think we even admit it after enduring 8 years of Peter Angelos! Still longing for the return of "The Oriole Way"...not the current version. We were fortunate to see the Phils, Cleveland, WhiteSox & Red Sox last year at the greatest park in America. Of course we saw the Red Sox in Sept. so there were 40,000 members of RedSox Nation & only about 3,000 O's fans @ the games but we still had fun. I have tickets so far for the Nats visit so I was hoping Doping Sammy would have signed with them but no such luck...I guess he just can't pee when Congress is watching. Back to B-ball...what a great honor for Coach Danzig's dad...that's a tough one to miss. Scranton had a very gutsy comeback vs. Lyco...hope they bring their A game against an always tough Desales club. Just a suggestion regarding the conflict should the Royals be fortunate to be in the Freedom title game...since his dad is being inducted prior to the Bucknell/Army game Sat. evening...why couldn't the Royals play that game @ 2:00 so he could coach his team & still have time to make it down to Lewisburg for the festivities? Lyco will have a cakewalk vs. DVC but Kings & Wilkes better watch out in Jersey...strange things have happened to very good teams down there at the end of the season. Where have you gone "Wild Bill Hagey"

cold_case · February 17, 2006, 02:32:50 PM

Nais, no, I don't get it.

Saratoga, we'll never see the Oriole way again. The days of Earl Weaver, Hank Peters and others are long gone. Now we're stuck with a cheap skate owner and a bafoon as GM in Flanagan.
Gotta love those Boog's Bar-B-Q's. Only problem is, the juice soaks through the bun and it leaves your hands all sticky. Big mistake> I rubbed my eye while the sauce was still coated on my finger. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
