Baltimore Orioles @ Texas Rangers


 

Scan0056-1_medium Kason_medium

 

Adam Loewen, LH (0-0, 7.71/1.50) v. Kason Gabbard, LH (1-0, 0.00/1.29)

This is tentatively scheduled to start at 8:05, but we'll see.

I don't know what happened in game one! I am currently scheduling this to post, and it is 4:14 eastern. Game one hasn't even HAPPENED.

Lookit Adam when he was just a little guy. Kason Gabbard approves, I think. He's happy. I think.

Don't worry

We're still in first, on pace to win 120.5 games and our magic number is only 153

I'm actually fine with Buck...

except for his habit of making all of our pitchers to be of Cy Young caliber. Hunter makes me pine for Rick Dempsey in the booth, at least he'll say something crazy.

Quiroz

If I was Roch, I'd make a hilarious comment about him and sandwiches...because the names are vaguely close.

they'll figure out who pitches Monday, Jim

Teams have played double headers before. It has happened.

Maybe they'll let Albers spot start.

Since Buck is talking about the fact backup catchers being an endanger species...

I saw Paul Bako drive in a run with a single today. Brought back some fond memory.

btw

Diamond Dave made some comments about giving Loewen a mulligan to start the season since he is coming off an injury. I guess the first few games of last year also count as a mulligan.

DID YOU KNOW

Burres' birthday was also Guthrie's birthday.

Loewen's birthday (yesterday) was also Dennis Sarfate's.

MLB's in-game Gameday video highlights?

Cool. But not Birdland until it's one of OUR homeruns.

TELL ME that second pitch was a pitchout

because it looked like it was 2 feet high and 2 feet outside on GameDay

Dear God....

There are several things an 11-year-old can’t comprehend -- world politics, global economy, the fact that "spin the bottle" is always rigged. Preteens simply aren’t big thinkers, and perhaps that’s why my recollection of the 1990 Marion Barry scandal is weird at best. As a bucked-tooth 11-year-old, I remember watching the news and seeing that notorious video of the mayor of Washington, D.C., smoking crack with a hooker. The hooker part of the story confused me because we’d only gotten to Chapter 2 in Mr. Watson’s sexual education class.

Oh. My. God.
