Gameday Thread: O's (23-20) @ Yankees (20-24)
Baltimore @ New York
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.

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

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???

I almost feel bad....
From about 1991 to 2003, Mike Mussina was my second favorite baseball player.

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.

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.

I didn’t even have the game on (some reason thought it would be delayed) and got a text message from my Yankee fan friend. Heh.

A DCab QS would be great.
Hope he doesn’t take it easy with all this breathing room.

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.
