Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Gameday Thread: O's (19-18) @ Royals (15-21)

Baltimore Orioles at Kansas City Royals, May 11, 2008 2:10 PM EDT


Mn48vsgh_medium Vwbhb3sw_medium

 Today's Starting PitchersGSIPERAWHIPBAABBKW-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’.

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.

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.

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

Worry about the batter

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

take it the fuck easy, dude. that was sort of uncalled for.

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.

by O'sFan21 on May 11, 2008 3:16 PM EDT reply actions  

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

Royals fans

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

Too bad

B-Rob is out with another ouchie today.

by dtuck81 on May 11, 2008 3:55 PM EDT reply actions  

Nah

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

by dtuck81 on May 11, 2008 3:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

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…

by O'sFan21 on May 11, 2008 4:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

Notice

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

by dtuck81 on May 11, 2008 3:59 PM EDT reply actions  

Wow. Adam Jones finally made an out.

How surprising. He hasn’t done that in a while.

by Y Not on May 11, 2008 4:04 PM EDT reply actions  

Luke Scott

Looks like a garbage truck when he runs.

by dtuck81 on May 11, 2008 4:10 PM EDT reply actions  

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’

Millar

Prides himself on his defense.

by dtuck81 on May 11, 2008 4:16 PM EDT reply actions  

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.
