PrintBaltimore Orioles at New York Yankees, May 20, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
I'm sick of playing these bottomfeeding teams. Can we get some competition around here already?
| 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.

I'm sick too... damn cold hit the entire east coast.
And of course I have tons of work to do.. Love how that works.
goddamn do i hate the yankees
just wanted to get that out before we start
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

Getting lit up would have happened sooner or later.

I love how Jeter keeps staring at Cano
And how YES keeps inferring it was Robinson’s fault. How the hell did Cano make Jeter throw that ball high???

so i quit my job..
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.

DUDES!!!
when was the last time you saw the o’s bat around? knock a dude out int he first inning?
foghat goes with everything--birdman, 5/16/08
actually Jetes kind of save him
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.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
Screw that
Anyone who is so morally deficient that they would sign with the Yankees or Sox as a Free Ageant will never get my pity.

My only fear is
that we’re using up all our offensive power in this inning right here & have nothing left the next two games.
That would be very 1998-2007 Orioles of us.

Hope all that sitting around
didn’t affect Danny.

This is a bit random
But why did Melmo throw it to Bynum after he made the catch?
I know it’s been done a million times, but why?
Kinds of the infield defense equivilent
of a trhow-around after a strikeout, maybe?

Problem is....
the 6th inning can’t get here fast enough, because you just KNOW if there’s two drops of rain in the next 30 minutes, Steinbreener will force the umps to call it and we start all over again.
And you KNOW the umps would do that for the MFY..

He was talking about
his man-servant, Daniel Cabrera.
Apparently Danny follows him around like a lost puppy, and they get along pretty well.

Aside from the obvious benefits
of having a 10 run lead, this is the best thing that has happened to Danny, he is being forced to throw strikes and his stuff isn’t too hittable.

Then I realized it was the Orioles that had the 10. I got to say, that shocked the hell out of me…

in other games..
lackey pitched a gem versus toronto.. yields to scott shields who proceeds to load the bases immediately with 0 outs. Angels up 3-1.. not for long, i’m expecting.
boston up 2-1 in 8th on KC.. KC has bases loaded, but with 2 outs.. so that means that they’ll be going into the 9th inning shortly…
so i was just wondering . . .
Do you get suspended for throwin’ at heads or what? I know the Q is posed late but really.

Yes
Joba got a couple of games earlier this year

i thought so . . .
what a dumb ass yankee move, i’m watching the YES network and those guys acted like it was ok to throw twice at a guy and that his bush league move would be a wake up call for the skanks

Blame Fox
Saturday rule – can’t show a game until 7 p.m. to keep their exclusivity. They have 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. starts, so they get a 3 hour window for each game. And TB isn’t moving the game back, apparently, so we miss an hour of it.

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude this was RIGHT after MLB.com posted the video of the bench clearing.. I was watching that when he just hit that homer… awesome.
To hit a homer when the ball is thrown that low
You have to cover every single inch of the ball with the bat head, especially if it goes upper reserves.
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
poor kid
He’s up there rockin’ an A-Rod jersey in the upperdeck and almost gets a home run, which he could not have expected, but it hits a fat guy and bounces to Abreu.
STOP THAT!

Danny looks confused

sportin a 3.48 ERA. Quality starts delivered vs. Red Sox and Yankees…
I don’t give a shit. I’m sold.
+1
Rodriguez homered hard off Cabs tonight but he stayed in it after – Same thing after plonking Jeter and seeing Luke almost get plonked. last year these would have been the cue for a meltdown.

Of all the friggin nights to be taking a test!
But this is some kinda sweet news to come home too! Now I’m fantasizing how much fun I’d have had if I could have made it out to Yankee Stadium tonight-would have made up for all the times I was surrounded by those broom-wielding Neanderthals. Nows the time to kick ‘em when they’re down, boys-their bullpen is so depleted they brought Rivera in for what was most certainly not a save situation (or did he just need to put in an inning, since save situations ahve been a little hard to come by). Who’s pitching tomorrow? Gotta get to him early, and then it’s a free ride.
Hey Yerkees: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you douchebags.
Man was this score cool to find on the laptop over breakfast. Wish I coulda watched it, of course, but it was probably blacked out in Moscow. I hope you don’t think that was a joke.
Daniel rules! Zero walks, the single best indicator for him. Moose got douched all right, but hey, breaks o’ the game, pal. No doubt enjoying the action on the bench in a bittersweet kind of way was Guts. Who wants to bet he Didn’t Say Anything about, y’know, the r…u…n…s…u…p…p…o…r…t issue.
