Couple years ago the O's went out a drafted Matt Wieters out of Georgia Tech and threw all kinds of money at him. He could be the most over hyped player in Oriole history. It's going to be awefully hard to live up to what fans are expecting out of him.

This is hilarious!

love it...

this is what the Twins did with Joe Mauer... turns out they may not have been exaggerating. I remember people being pissed we didn't take Mark Prior... they have all been forced to sing the "I'm very sorry song" from parking garage that overlooks Target Field while Joe and Justin Morneau take bp... the ones who survive will be sent to live on the south side of chicago, a fate worse than death

that said, the Twins promised the same thing with:

Rich Becker
Marty Cordova
Frankie Rodriguez
Willie Banks
JT Bruett
Chip Hale
Scott Stahoviak
Dave McCarty
Michael Cuddyer

of course, O's fans have too i suspect
Melvin Mora
Larry Bigbie
i'm sure there's others...

I like the tag line:

"Facts so good they make Chuck Norris cry like a girl!"

This guy had 27 HR's in 578 AB's. He's barely Geovoni Soto right now, let alone Johnny Bench or Mike Piazza. :lol: :lol:

Andy hit this one outta the park. Worse yet for Orioles fans is that Wieters isn't even living upto expectations of a 20th round pick :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
