PrintBaltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox, Apr 25, 2008 8:11 PM EDT
LET'S PLAY TWO! Last night's game is now a 1:05 start (ok, continuation). So continuing using this thread, and we'll have a new one for the 7:05 EST start tonight.
Ain't baseball grand?

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| White Sox | AB | AVG | OBP | HR | RBI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nick Swisher - RF | 69 | .232 | .393 | 2 | 5 |
| 2 | Orlando Cabrera - SS | 80 | .263 | .359 | 1 | 5 |

| 6 | Joe Crede - 3B | 75 | .293 | .341 | 6 | 21 |
| 7 | Alexei Ramirez - CF | 24 | .167 | .200 | 0 | 1 |
| 8 | Juan Uribe - 2B | 67 | .164 | .222 | 1 | 8 |
| 9 | Toby Hall - C | 13 | .154 | .154 | 0 | 0 |
Game time is 8:11 on MASN2. I'll probably be out since it's Friday and I can't actually watch the game anyway.
Buehrle has dominated the the Orioles in his career, putting up a 2.27 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. His season hasn't been as bad as it looks. He was hideous in his first outing (1.2 IP, 7 ER) but has gone seven innings in all three starts afterward. He had a bad second inning against Tampa Bay last time out (3 ER) and gave up five earned on the day. Dude can still pitch, though.
Burres' ERA is a lot of luck. A whole lot of luck. But I'll take a lucky good ERA over a bad one that makes all the sense in the world, believe me. Hopefully Bri Bri can give us a good six tonight.

congratulations, higgy
though why you would actually, you know, want to be a lawyer is beyond me. there’s too damn many of them (i work for a firm in DC in my other life).
THIS is Birdland?!?

THAT'S why, dave...
there are many bad lawyers, but few that actually value the study and practice of the law over the attendant pecuniary benefits!
(thanks!)

Not if he's smart enough to post here
And where in the HELL do you find those lineups you post on Gameday threads with ABs and such? I can’t find them anywhere!

I just make them
It doesn’t take long since I just use the template from the first time I did it.

career lines v. LHP
Payton: .288/.347/.460
Scott: .250/.364/.406
2007 lines v. LHP:
Payton: .285/.353/.423
Scott: .271/.358/.492
So, like, whatever.
But, uhh…the real problem is that Huff could be starting at 1B and Millar could take a day off and Scott could DH. Millar isn’t hitting.

Did I just hear a "Jokajima" from Diamond Dave?
Did he mean Jojima?

Wouldn’t be bad to get a rainout tonight

Thunder, lightning and lots of rain
Yeah, this ain’t gonna last long…

I'm really worried about that, too

Hey, we got ONE WHOLE OUT in!

Completely OT...
anyone around here use Ubuntu, the Linux based GUI OS?
Improving the ballclub: Not one of Peter Angelos' concerns.-SC Wed Jan 30, 2008
Actually, yes
I was never interested in LINUX until about a week ago. It always seemed nerdy to me, but I was sick of WIndows, and Ubuntu was free and promised to be easy.
I’m pretty impressed. I had some issues with my video card that required some pretty in-depth workarounds, but it’s running smooth as butter now.
In my opinion, Ubuntu is not quite there yet for the mainstream crowd, but it’s not far off. I would not be able to use it at work, but it has everything I need for my home computer. I haven’t booted into XP for days.
I have MLB.tv working, and that’s all I really need.
So what does the weather look like?
I am watching the Sixers WIN WIN WIN right now

Still on Rain Delay
Radio is still broadcasting filler. Hard-hitting stuff about repairs needed to OPACY.

I hope the rain stops
I want to see AJ Perzinskiii play 2night

latest
they just said the rain is expected to go about another hour. They figure the game might resume at 11pm.

Dammit, I thought we were down with late starts!
At least I don’t have to be to work tomorrow and there’s ONE MORE BEER in the fridge…

j.q.: Congrats, bud, this Stoly's for you! Get out there and be, y'know, all principled and stuff.
Abe Lincoln was a lawyer to remember. Richard Nixon was one to forget. More recently, David Addington and John Yoo are fine examples of bad examples. But I’ve got a nephew and a cousin who are Good Lawyers, as I’m sure you’ll be. Excelsior!
Rain delay. RAIN DELAY??? This is a Big Deal for me. I get up at 4:30 (OK, I went to bed early, really shagged), make myself a nice omelet, fire up the laptop to watch, ahem, Cy Burres do his thing - I mean, is this Loyalty or what?- and the Almighty decides No, you have to watch Tampa Bay hand the Sawx their lunch at sh*tass Tropicana.
No fair, Big Guy.

The rain delay
gave me the chance to re-watch HEAVY: The Story of Metal on VH1 Classic, and hear Jani Lane of Warrant utter the line I’ve been waiting 20 years to hear…
“The album’s Cherry Pie, the single’s Cherry Pie, I’m the Cherry Pie guy, my legacy’s Cherry Pie. I could shoot myself in the f—-ing head for writing that song.”
About time he apologized…

Word. I mean, this is not Connery saying I hate James Bond or Lennon disowning the Beatles. Cherry Pie SUCKED, always and everywhere. It's one of the last convincing arguments for lobotomy.

Boston Game
Wheeler Just Struck out Ramirez on 4 pitches – 3 whiffs and a ball. I’m liking Wheeler a lot. Great slider.

Yup. And with the exception of Aki's bonehead play at 2nd this inning, the Rays have looked darn good
Almost too good. Like not basement too good. Gulp.

Rays to Sawx: Suck eggs, Bozos! 5-4 in 11! Yee-hah!
Nathan Haynes strokes game winning RBI single, gets mobbed by team. Then in post-game interview, maybe the best moment: “With all the Boston fans here tonight, it was important to send them home angry.”
Amen, bother.

Thanks for the rain...

Good
to see that we aren’t tiring Buehrle out to much to start the game…21 pitches in two innings..while Little Jim Palmer has 22 in 1 IP.

The audio for this game is really low on MLB.com
Which has its good side: The Hawk is less obnoxious the less you can hear him.

Payton
Has been hitting the past couple games. Not enough to justify sitting Scott, but I’m not in charge.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
Payton's not a bad player or anything
But I don’t like seeing Scott out the way he’s been hitting. Can Payton play anything else?
Not bad?
A corner OF’er with a 667 OPS last year and lifetime 750? That’s kind of bad.

I mean you wouldnt want him as an everday guy
But off the bench I dont think hes bad
All right, Hawk's into his "He gone!" mode. What a douche.

Good thing Luis Hernandez is still starting. I hate picking up RBIs with a man on 3B.

Do you bring Burres back out for the 8th?
He’s only thrown 91 pitches.
