The Orioles' Braille uniforms are among the stupidest things ever.

 

Really? I kind of like it.

You know blind people can't see Braille, right?

I'm aware. They're just recognizing the 40 year anniversary of the National Federation of the Blind moving to Baltimore. And they auctioned off the unis to raise money for that organization.

 

Why do you hate blind people?

If I'd known that background I'd have shut my yap...and not come here to make the following joke:

 

"<span><span><span><span><span>At this time we would like to invite all of our visually-impaired fans down onto the field to touch the Orioles."</span></span></span></span></span>

[Butcher]

I'm glad you shared it.

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

He doesn't hate blind people; he's jealous of all the touching that braille gets.

[AlexV]

Bob Brenly. Word.

[AlexV]

Btw, fuck Joe West to oblivion.

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

That makes me like Brenly a little again.

I'll be happy for Ross if he gets the job, but also sad.

[Butcher]

It would be nice if the Cubs could find a spot for him in the organization. But if he gets an offer to manage, then he should obviously jump at it.

It would be nice if the Cubs could find a spot for him in the organization.

 

On top of his work for ESPN, etc., he is also a special assistant to the front office.

I forgot about that.

I was hoping he'd replace Maddon post-2019.

Really? If he rode the "special assistant" pine for another year, you'd welcome a guy with no coaching or managing experience?

[funkster]

I like Ross, but I'm not sure he's shown anything that would make me think he'd be a good manager?

He dances better than Tommy Lasorda ever did.

There's Cub life after 2019.  Who would have thunk it?
