Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Gameday Thread: O's (24-24) @ Rays (29-20)

Baltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays, May 25, 2008 1:40 PM EDT


I know it's a good time watchin' a game with Daniel Cabrera and all that, but seriously, find something better to do today. Me, I'm going to get hellaciously drunk with my nerdy friends and play some softball.

that was real scary

i have lost all faith in this offense too… our best batting average seems to belong to freddie bynum

by Pack Man on May 25, 2008 2:06 PM EDT reply actions  

well, we got one.

once again thanks to Jay Payton taking an extra base, and a catcher driving him in.

by getxstoked on May 25, 2008 2:07 PM EDT reply actions  

run support is good. I think we are going to need it today.

Ramon

Is struggling because he has to hurry every single throw and amp up because the 6’9” guy is slow to the plate.

He also just balked on that pitchout but it wasn’t called.

Who thinks

When they do highlights in the game and someone hits a HR to left they need a slip of “That balls’ hit DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP to left”?

Buck

Great idea. “Try to get hot”.

Um, do you wonder who voted to keep Trax? AMA, perhaps?

Gee

I wonder if Upton will run here.

Of course, they will then just put Pena on intentionally.

stupid pena.

i’m beginning to hate the rays

Aubrey

I know it’s a lot to ask for you to run 90 feet down to first 3-4 times a game.

by dtuck81 on May 25, 2008 2:47 PM EDT reply actions  

It's gotten to the point with Nick

that I’m happy if he even puts the ball in play

What does Aaron Rowand have to do with this game?

One day soon-- maybe not tomorrow or the next day, but soon-- we're going to have one of those games...

when the team shows up and, y’know, forgets to suck.

It happens. We’re due.

Upton

Really should stop doing that.

yeah, I was dead certain that was going to result in a Rays lead

maybe Walker has something left in the tank.
