Angelos hoped to sign a prospect out of nearby Morgan State the next day, only to discover they don't have a baseball team and the tip he heard about was actually a prank caller from the university's Computer Science department.

The Coach is KILLING Me! — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 12:59:15 EDT

I was at the game yesterday, and while some of the Padres fans thought that Tejada had injured himself running to first, I immediately realized what was going on. I said (too loudly), "That's the kind weak crap Lou Gehrig would pull," and waited for lightening to strike me down.

I would like them see Billy Ripken take a crack at managing them...as long as he would pull a Rod Smart and wear "Fuck Face" (which would probably look like f*ck Face or F**k Face) on the back of his jersey. It'd sure be a hot seller!

@Frank Pentangeli:

FWIW Gehrig even played shortstop and batted first in some visiting parks so he would get an at bat and be removed with the shortstop taking his place. Joe McCarthy did this a few times to keep the streak intact.

Because someone already said Joe Orsulak, I'm countering with Randy Milligan.

I'm with restoretheroar on this one. Cal's fielding declined and he gladly hurt his team's chances for his own ego, staying on the field long after he should have been a part-time player.

Well, Baltimore, take pride in the fact that you still lead the nation in Syphillis, illiteracy, and football teams stolen from Cleveland.

@Unsilent Majority: Cal Ripken enamored the fans with a reason to come to the games, thats all that that idiot angelos needed to sell tickets and not build up a farm system. I mean wasn't his successor Devi Cruz or something like that. Angelo's had a lets fill the roster with older veterans that can win now, like the greats, Mike Bordick, Will Clark, Delino Deshields, Albert Belle and BJ Surhoff. Stupid Angelos

What's the big deal, Ripken played in plenty of games where a manager should have played someone else.

Besides its not like he actually did it to get a record, like Nakisha Sales or something.
