Baltimore Orioles at Kansas City Royals, May 11, 2008 2:10 PM EDT
| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | BB | K | W-L | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Brian Burres - LH | 6 (7) | 36.2 | 3.19 | 1.34 | .254 | 14 | 20 | 3-3 |
 |
Brian Bannister - RH | 7 | 42.1 | 4.46 | 1.25 | .259 | 10 | 24 | 3-4 |
Game time is 2:10 on MASN2.
Burres has probably been pitching above his head, but I'll take it. Bannister started the year red-hot, but has cooled some. Still, he's a good young pitcher that any team would love to have. Perhaps a team such as the New York Mets.
We look to continue our ridiculous winning streak against the poor Royals. I mostly just feel bad for them at this point. I mean, it's cool that we always beat them, but come on. Even a crappy team like the Orioles wins two of three against the Yankees sometime.

Cintron has been called up
I would expect him and Boom Boom in the starting line-up today.

TB v. LAA: Santana gives up 3, *just* making it out of the 1st.
Y’know, the Raze look, well, pretty good. Like No More Last Place For Us, shmucks. They’re prolly right, too.
Amd speaking of shmucks, Sid starts for TX in an hour. This blimp is flyin’.

3 up, 3 down.
Gotta like that.

Today's MLB.com audio is slightly ahead of the video-- so you get to hear that Huff strikes out before he actually does, as in visually.
Thanks, guys. It’s bad enough with the other-side-of-the-world delay I already have.
That’s OK, Titov, just keep commenting—like we care! Yers truly, MLB.com
OK, d-bags, I will. MLB.com sucks.
Ha-ha, lump it! Why don’t you try the other online baseball providers, hee-hee.

Well, $15 for a season of all games audio
is kinda a sweet deal, since I can’t get O’s games on the radio in Salisbury.

I'm guessing he hurt his shoulder.
Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if he slightly separated it.

Luke Scott's gotta be from New Jersey or LI
I’ll look it up, but I’d be surprised at anything else with that hair.

Florida?
He had to do time in Jersey or da Island.

Florida is basically the same as LI and Jersey.

Depends where in FL
Atlantic side yes, absolutely. Gulf side not so much. That’s mostly where Midwesterners & Canadians go to retire.
Middle of the state (other than Orlando) & the panhandle? That’s “Yew look jes’ like a hawg!” territory.
You can't fix stupid. Stupid is forever.

Did boom boom's missed catch go as an error?
because it should have.

That ball was fair by 4 inches.

This isn't going very well this inning.

Safe to say
with 1 already in, 0 out and bases loaded

First two on were flukes
Last two on show Burres doesn’t have it today.

I think if that first ball is caught it changes the whole dynamic of the inning.
Really annoying as a pitcher.

Worry about the batter
Can’t worry about plays that weren’t made – worry about the batter

what happened?
I’m working with the game on in one corner of my computer screen and missed the original offense.
"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."

melmo questioned a strike on the outside corner...
and the ump flipped the fuck out.

On the bright side...
Sid has reverted to the form we knew and loved.

That's the Sid I know: a 424 ft. HR, down 4 in the 1st

Are WAY too excited about a strikeout (Jesus nicK) and a guy getting tagged out.

What’s the deal?

B-Rob is out with another ouchie today.

Nah
He leads the majors in “boo-boos and ouchies”.

You really sound stupid whenever you talk about him.
Since he’s played in all 38 games this year.
Also he had hits in his last two ABs which is as many hits as we have in the game…

Notice
They did not mention last year’s Mother’s Day meltdown.

was that the game that Gomez hit a grand slam?

Wow. Adam Jones finally made an out.
How surprising. He hasn’t done that in a while.

He did get Gathrighted earlier
He crushed a ball to the gap in the second.

The Royals are letting Burres hang around an awful long time...
Y’know, this could turn into another snake-bite…

I really hope these runs don't score..
Burres has been pitching pretty well for what he is.
On a side note, Mora’s wife is pretty good lookin’

The SidWatch: 4-4 in the 4th. Unbelievably, he may get out of this relatively unscathed.

Up 5-4 now, through 5-- qualifying for the WIN. Just shoot me.

OK, you don't have to shoot me: he walked 3 in the 6th, including the tieing run-- and got hooked.
Now primed for the L with the A’s up 6-5.
