this is a good pre-release thread...

This is ALWAYS a good thread. This thread is the only thread I ever read the actually caused tears to flow from laughter. I still, to this day, picture some taxi doing doughnuts in the middle of some city.

The Wolf · 06-16-2008, 11:14 PM

I hadn't read it before. Thanks for dragging it out of the archives, it was too funny.

Bishop · 06-17-2008, 01:02 AM

I can't believe I missed this the first time around.

Man, I'd love to know how his career ended.

Yeah, that GM is liable to be shot in 2008 what with the gas prices.

He was sent up and down so many times that he got caught in an inifinite probability loop and was squirted into another dimension like a watermelon seed.

Bump, because you can never bump Curtis Borkholder enough.

CecilCooper · 07-29-2008, 02:09 PM

Awesome read

t_wil1 · 07-30-2008, 07:58 AM

Sounds like something Peter Angelos would do. He did say orioles right. lol

Solonor · 07-30-2008, 12:05 PM

I heard that Borkholder retired then showed up in the locker room the next day to play. So, they sent him to AAA and un-retired Stanek.

After that, the Orioles asked him to be their first base coach, then switched him to third the next day.

Eventually, he became the manager. After 14 daily firings/re-hirings, he hung himself from the left field foul pole.

They moved the body to right field the next day...
