Siani can flat out hit! On my way home from the salt mines as we speak…..cruising along at 83 and I’m still being passed like I’m standing still. Who says there’s only one Autobahn? Love the B. Oriole memories, TD, KeepComingBack and BicycleMike. Just off the top of my head….Elrod Hendricks catching…..Boog at 1st….Davey Johnson at 2nd…..the aforementioned Mark Belanger at SS…..Brooks at 3rd……Paulie Blair in center……Merv Rettenmund out there too…….of course the Fearsome Foresome who won 20 games each for Baltimore in the same season way back when…..Palmer, Cuellar, McNally & Dobson.
Yeah, Frank was in a class all his own. He remains the only player to win an MVP in both leagues and he eclipses both Mays and Aaron in regards to being the only one of the three to have won a TC.
I kind of like those city connect uni’s. They are better than a lot of those I have seen. The Rockies have a “license plate”’style city connect, that is green and white like our tags out here. But the state is going to new boring black and white plates. Supposedly they are easier to pick out the numbers for law enforcement.
I like the style of the unis, but I would like them to be a little more different. I also don’t like The Lou. Pardon me I’m going to the loo(u).
Yeah, those Oriole teams from 1966 to 1971 were something. Four pennants in six years. Earl Weaver, a dynamic manager. Great defense, pitching and real good offense. Put that together and you will win a lot.
Comparing that to the current day Cardinals – let’s see, we have decent pitching, decent defense, not much offense, and a manager who couldn’t carry Weaver’s scorecard.

I hate it when people refer to it as the Lou.
It is so maddening. 1st and 3rd, no outs, and Gorman cannot even put it in play. But if he hits a homer a week all is forgotten.
Gorman K, one out.
Winn doubles in Burly, risp at 2nd and 3rd, 2-0.
Siani, 3run tater!
5-0 (crooked number!)Siani is really coming around. His confidence is growing with each game. With his defense, if he can hit anywhere close to what he has been doing he is a valuable player.
I’m really beginning to enjoy watching the Cardinal SS. He’s performing well with both the bat and the mitt. And pardon me for saying so, but if the season ended today he’d be a frontrunner for a GG. He’s got a chance to be a good one for a long time.
Over the past week you could see that Siani was on the precipice of sending one downtown. Now that he has his first dinger out of the way, don’t be surprised if he starts clubbing one or two a week.
