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.

there are many bad lawyers, but few that actually value the study and practice of the law over the attendant pecuniary benefits!

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.

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.

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…

Yup. And with the exception of Aki's bonehead play at 2nd this inning, the Rays have looked darn good

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.”
