A Cooked Bird: The Orioles Turkeys of 2007…

Well, being that we are in the holiday season, and Thanksgiving is around along corner with Black Friday, where everyday sane people go all psychotic for deals on toys and stuff that they will use for a week and forget about, the Baltimore Orioles have been a source of entertainment along with a lot of pain.

That being said, I want us all here to pick the 'Oriole Turkey' of the year. Yes, being that the organization was bad once again in 2007 and brought us infamous moments such as the Mother's Day Massacre, the 30-3 game, and the national press that our players have gotten (obviously for nothing good), we might was honor infamy and general badness.

Here are my eleven choices...

***

Now, let's get started:

Our First Entry; Sam Perlozzo's Management Decisions and the Mother's Day Massacre: Yes, we all remember this day and there's no need to go over it.

Our Second Entry: Danys Baez, simply ineffective and a complete waste of money. He was just bad and now will probably miss 2008 due to elbow surgery.

Our Third Entry: Jay Gibbons. After a promising start to his career, he's forgotten how to hit. Um, steroids are supposed to make you better, aren't they?

Our Fourth Entry: The 30-3 Game. No need for the details. Furthermore, this happened on Dave Trembley's first day on the job...

Our Fifth Entry: Brian Roberts calling out the Oriole fans for not coming to Camden Yards and supporting the Orioles; Entry 5A:Peter Angelos welcoming Yankee & Red Sox fans to Baltimore...

Our Sixth Entry: Daniel Cabrera throwing at the Red Sox's Dustin Pedroia's head and nearly causing a brawl...

Our Seventh Entry: Melvin Mora for this statement: “I’m one of the best third basemen in the American League and in baseball. If you are going to move me, you have to make the team more competitive.”

Our Eighth Entry: Kevin Millar and his homerism of the Red Sox...

Our Ninth Entry: Aubrey Huff besmirching Baltimore, his love for porn stars, women, and his stupidity...

Our Tenth Entry: Our former two-head GM outfit for not realizing what we all knew -- this team is not good and is in trouble. Not to forget, spending $42 million on a BULLPEN!

Our Eleventh Entry, Just For A Cheap Pop: Peter Angelos and the Tenth Losing Season in Baltimore...

Ok, so here are my eleven choices. Alas, I am probably missing a few more, but you all more than free to chime in and post whatever infamous moments or people we can think of.
