an illustrated guide tO disaster
a good friend and relative of wayward O, who is brilliant baseball mind, places fulcrum of disaster for team's last three years of futility squarely in weeks after miguel tejada signed big contract -- when star short stop along with rest team FAILED TO ENTICE star expos free agent right-fielder to come to crabtown.
vladdy g. in those days was not shy about reason for snub:
NOT ENOUGH LATINO CULTURE IN LAND OF PLEASANT LIVING!!!
to wit:
fig. a.
fig. b
at top please see fig. a.: scrumptious crabcake sandwich. oh my it makes wayward O's mouth water! to be found in abundant quantities all along shores of chesapeake bay region! beneath, please see fig. b.: fish tacos. no less sublime in level of deliciousness! but very abundant in land of southern california, where angels play the baseball!
it's not like vladdy is alone. no less a player than aubrey huff thinks baltimore is a "horsesh*t town," albeit for different reasons. wayward O says every person will have opinions about every city; and each comes from a different place. that is what human diverse-city is all about! nevertheless, we are about to say goodbye to most talented oriole to take field since roberto alomar!
say what you will about tejada's mental states, or leadership skills ... to wayward O it makes no difference! it was great to watch miguel go to work everyday. and it's sad to see him on the way out. he put up huge numbers in baltimore, even during off year.
more nauseating still is concept of watching miggy beat crap out of Orioles for next two years as a yankee. disgusting. it will be hard pill to swallow for Wayward O, whose loyalties to team have been battered and beaten.
many Os fans on blogs and elsewhere seem to regard tejada and melvin mora as SAME PERSON. wayward O would love to see mora traded, if possible, to another team. but tejada and mora are vastly different. losing mora would mean little, whereas losing tejada, especially within confines of AL EAST, would likely cement team inside tomb of losing for at least three more years.
so wayward O asks team with most utmost of fervor: Please, if you ship Mr. Tejada out of town, please make sure he goes far, far away!
as for integrating latin cultures in land of pleasant living, well, this is a start. or is it? in the meantime, think of how many things would be different had team managed to sign guerrero:
1) young savior would be in LEFT FIELD
2) team would have been in playoffs at least once since '05
3) team would have been able to sign top-line pitching; though this might have been disastrous, as yankees have learned with kevin brown, cory lidle, randy johnson and mike mussina
4) entire FO would probably still be intact
well, no sense crying in one's leche derramada. let's move on to another dreary offseason for once-proud franchise.

The crunchy fish and chips at Red Lobster in Columbia is really good. Think the Os could sign Beckham?
