Gameday Thread: Nationals (18-26) @ O's (23-19)

Washington Nationals @ Baltimore Orioles
| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | BB | K | W-L | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
John Lannan - LH | 8 | 45.2 | 3.74 | 1.55 | .288 | 18 | 29 | 3-4 |
 |
Jeremy Guthrie - RH | 9 | 56.0 | 4.18 | 1.29 | .248 | 17 | 39 | 2-3 |
Lannan has been lucky. What more do you want than that? He's been really lucky to maintain that ERA with that WHIP and that BAA.
Guthrie has been about as good as one could expect. Is he an ace like you would want to define "an ace"? Not really. But the man has pitched well and done a good job. Congratulation! to him.

Go O's!!!
Today is a big day for the Birds. I hope they can keep this streak alive and get some help from the Cards and Brewers. Then its one day off before we get a chance to hammer the Yankees deeper into the basement!! Who know, maybe they’ll find another Red Sox jersey down there. Who wants to bet the Royals fail to score a win against the Sox next week, too? GO O’S!!!!!!!

This 4 games over .500 thing, given our hitting, is not just Birdland...
it’s Voodoo Economics Birdland, it’s Hillary Wins the Nomination Math Birdland, it’s Custer Whomps the Indians Birdland. Don’t get me wrong, I love the winning; it’s the doing-it-with-mirrors stuff that makes me nervous. A win is a win is a win, as Gertie put it, but we could really use a blowout about now, something 11-3ish, wouldn’t you say?
How great would it be to see Guts coast through one? Go O’s, everybody hits!

4-2 at the end of the 2nd period. Great stuff-- and correct outcome (so far).
Russian announcers are the world’s most shameless homers, but these two guys are relatively restrained: “The whole country, from Kalliningrad to Kamchatka, is living and dying with this game!”
Um, feel free to die, fellas.

watch what the announcers to with their “non-microphone” hand. hunter’s is twitching. palmer keeps putting it in his pocket and then taking it out. sutton grabs a newspaper with it and hides it behind his back.

I liked the early days of satellite, when they didn't carry local ads during away games-- and the mike was sometimes left on...
You used to hear these scinitllating conversations about what Brooksie wanted on his chili dog (onions? cheese? a lot?), which away stadiums had good press/broadcasting facilities (“You like these cheap chairs? I’m gonna bring my own next time.”), where they were having dinner that night (“Is there good Mexican here?”)—straight out of “Fargo.”

Of course we know this doesn;t have a happy ending, but it is neat to see the original broadcast at old Memorial.

mlb extra innings doesnt give any info other than rain delay, does anyone have an estimated playing time or is it looking bad??

This sucks
the game is starting just as Celtics-Cavs and Pens-Flyers are underway. Another reason why the NHL sucks at getting ratings: they could have started the Pens-Flyers game at 1:00, and it wouldn’t have had much crossover with Celtics-Cavs, but the NHL would really never think to do that.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Beckett's given up 4 HR
He’s winning the game, but he’s not looking like the pitcher they paid all that $$$ for in the last 2 weeks.
