Well, you totally outdid me. Very funny. Still, the steak looked pretty damn good on my blog. Thanks for the shoutout. Loved it.
The steak did look pretty good. A little too rare for my taste, but nonetheless juicy. I've been to Mickey Mantle's and Mariano's steak houses! Mo's was much better, but also much pricier.
I don't think I outdid your post! Yours was thought out. All I did was search for HBO's "The Wire" images and had a field day.
I think you should do "Los Angeles of Anaheim" next, since Sabathia/Manny/Teixeira/Somebody could end up there. Plenty to make fun of.
anonymous is a positive person... but in all seriousness Tex should consider NY
Anonymous, if you want to take issue with a post, than write what you don't like about it. Name calling is for 13 year olds who think it sounds cool and tough to throw names around. You could of just as easily said "you can find just as many bad pictures of New York as you can of Baltimore", and you know what? You're right. But resorting to name calling is juvenile and I suspect you're smart enough to express yourself beyond that.
Baltimore lost its charm when the Moose was gone.
Fernando, you're absolutely right, but the post was so biased on so many levels I didn't want to take the time to write much. Just a gut reaction. The fact is, not only are pictures like those available from any US city, but a guy with a multi-million dollar contract is going to live in a very upscale suburb and only see the city from his limo ride to the park.
Anonymous, I can appreciate that kind of critique. You're absolutely right, but this website is devoted to the Yankees, so the slant was definitely going to be in their favor. During the season we wrote a whole article about Jason Veritek's off season training regimen, which consisted of him clubbing baby seals with baby panda's. We're not unbiased source for baseball information. I mean, my main source for those pictures was The Wire, which is a great show, but is based in some of the bad areas of Baltimore. But on another note, you have to admit Baltimore is a rough city.
Either way, I appreciate you coming back and posting. I think the Orioles have a ways to go to build their team back up, but they have some promise there. Markakis and Roberts are two excellent pieces to build around. The rotation's a mess though. Is there any promise in the minors there? I'm not too familiar with the Orioles farm system.
