What Teixeira said: "Finally [my wife] said, 'I want you to be a Yankee.' That's when it was done. Once we got the contract figured out, it was a no-brainer to me."
What Teixeira meant: "Yeah, once the Yankees offered me $180 million, I was more than happy to go along with my wife's wishes. Just yesterday, she said: 'Mark, I want you to take the trash out.' And I will just as soon as she pays me $180 million."

ESPN's Ravech: Teixeira Has "Enormous Attraction" to Orioles; Decision Near...
(Editor's noteāAlso, if you haven't seen the additional news, the Red Sox have made an offer believed to be for eight years. There's one report of it being for $175M, but that's probably just Boras whispering into someone's ear, as the Sox are notoriously tight-lipped about dollar amounts...-zk)

Olney's take on the O's interest in Tex
Maybe in three years, it would make sense for the Orioles to consider such an enormous contract. But not now, not when both teams are miles away from contending, not when they need a whole lot more than Teixeira.

What if in baseball history? A series of articles you may find interesting.
Brandon Isleib over at The Hardball Times has written a series of articles about what if there had always been two divisions in baseball since 1901. He has done a lot of research and put together on how the divisional play would've affected baseball from 1901 to 1968.
There are three articles and this article begins with links to the first two articles. It is interesting to see how some teams with divisional play may have gotten into the playoffs and how others went from just appearing into a dominance in their division. I found it to be a lot of fun to read, especially during the off-season when I am bored because there is no baseball.
Hope you find these articles as interesting as I did.

I'm wondering if I'm supposed to break my own fingers typing what I have in mind, but I sort of like how things are shaping up for the Orioles and their effort to more closely resemble a baseball team than Brian Roberts and Robertettes... it's obvious that we're at the dawning of the age of Matt Wieters. Put that on a team which might have Roberts and a real shortstop and Adam Jones up the middle, and damn straight it looks like a baseball team, one that might actually give Orioles fans something to feel good about, because it will at long last be a team that's fun to watch. It won't instantly gift them with pitching to make the game's tighter, but will at least translate into a better product on the field, and better still, one worth investing your hopes, cares, and dollars in.

Orioles Rule 5 Selections
From Peter Schmuck.
C Lou Palmisano from the Nashville Sounds (Milwaukee Brewers)
http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/P/lou-palmisano.shtml
SS Robert Valido from the Birmingham Barons (White Sox)
http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/v/robert-valido.shtml
I haven't looked closely at their histories yet, but this seems like good news.
UPDATE (from duck): We've already flipped Lou Palmisano. From The Sun:
"The Orioles selected catcher Lou Palmisano from the Milwaukee Brewers organization with the fifth pick of today's Rule 5 Draft, but then traded him to the Houston Astros for cash considerations."
