Gameday Thread: O's (23-20) @ Yankees (20-24)

Hansonbrothers_tiny by SC on Comment 541 comments

Baltimore Orioles @ New York Yankees


I'm sick of playing these bottomfeeding teams. Can we get some competition around here already?

Capt Capt

  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA BB K W-L
Daniel Cabrera - RH 9 60.1 3.58 1.23 .225 24 37 4-1
Mike Mussina - RH 9 49.2 3.99 1.17 .274 6 24 6-3

Rumors of Mike Mussina's demise have been a little bit exaggerated. He's throwing quite well this year. That doesn't make him any DANIEL CABRERA, however. Cabrera's control has been excellent lately, as he's walked just three in his last 23 1/3 innings. The strikeouts will never approach what they were at one point, but if he stops walking everyone for real, then he doesn't need them. He's done a good job this year pitching to his defense. And he's working on a streak of seven straight Quality Starts. Not bad at all.

I'm sicker than all get out with one of those lovely spring colds. I'll try to catch the game, but I might catch a nap instead.

According to weather.com, which is unreliable, rain should clear up after 9.

According to a friend in lower Manhattan and posters on a Yankees forum, rain supposed to let up around 7-8.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

quit my job last week assuming i was a shoe-in for a job with my father-in-law.. went for the physical this morning and failed because i have high blood pressure. so now i am jobless, and its been a real shitty day, but watching this first inning is putting all of that behind me

Blood Pressure is kind of BS

I got a checkup and was nearly put on medication; doctor gave me 6 weeks to see if I could get it down. Went back; and my pressure was under the ideal.

With the error, he’s only charged with 1 run. If Jetes makes the play, we would have lit up for 6 runs in the later innings and they would have been earned.

I like Abreu

shame that he has to be on the Yankees. Awful trade for Philly. 4 no name clowns for him.

From the 1st inniong on Pinstripe Alley
Jeter – What the hell is he staring down Cano for???? Make an accurate throw jackass.

Having said that, YES should give us an overhead shot so we can see where Cano was postioned and how quickly or not quickly he moved to cover the bag.

An overhead camera angle. Dude wants an overhead shot before he will blame Jeter for a bad throw. You GOTTA be kidding me.
