Just to bring us up to date, that means the O’s have been turned down by Baird, Jerry Dipoto, Tony LaCava and DeJon Watson.

And Craig Calcaterra! Don’t yet read Craig’s Lair? Geez….

I got a call and a job offer from the Orioiles this morning but I had to turn it down. The suck to bad for me to be the GM and I can’t stand those damn ppl up north.

If only us fans had our way…He’d he sent back to Pittsburgh, where he came from. Cal, Cuban, somebody give this man an offer he can’t refuse!

Along with Radcliff(he declined, just had the Twins say it instead), the White Sox guy (Hahn comes to mind), Friedman. Sad….

Don’t forget that Angelos wanted Andy to stay on and he declined. So you can add his name to the turned down list.

Can you spell A-N-G-E-L-O-S? Or is it A-N-G-E—–L-O-S-E?

Please Mr. Angelose, SELL THIS TEAM.

Let them become winners again.

Isn’t it about time for the Orioles to give Kevin Malone a call?

My buddy, who is a MAJOR Twins fan, got me into Gleeman’s writing years ago. It was such a pleasant surprise when he cropped up here on HBT, I only wish he would write a bit more.

Give the job to Gleeman. Actually, don’t. I keep hoping he’ll take over for Bill Smith.

The Orioles are reaching to the barren depths to find somebody to take the job. Duquette hasn’t held a MLB job since 2002.

Nah, just Minaya and Phillips. The homeless guy was offered the job last week and turned it down..

This is getting ridiculous. I have no more jokes for the Orioles.

This is fascinating- once worked in an industry where everybody (a finite number of qualified applicants) knew the pecadillos of every company and made it impossible for certain positions to be filled.
Guess it’s easier to work for the Steinbrenners after all.
