Baltimore Orioles at Los Angeles Angels, May 3, 2008 3:45 PM EDT
| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | BB | K | W-L | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Daniel Cabrera - RH | 6 | 37.0 | 4.14 | 1.41 | .223 | 21 | 21 | 2-0 |
 |
Jon Garland - RH | 6 | 36.1 | 5.94 | 1.73 | .340 | 12 | 9 | 3-3 |
Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
This is on at 3:45 on FOX, which just means that I ain't gon' see it.

Last game I saw Cabrera pitch in person was against LAAAOCCA
It was the good Danny in 2006. Two batters had solid contact in 7 innings. One a hit, the other a foul ball. Here’s hoping history repeats.
That was also the game when Newhan broke his leg.

He’s never gonna be perfect, so as long as runs don’t score, That’s good enough. 1 more out and no damage done.

not a good call but he didn’t say ‘base hit’
he said ‘line drive, center field.’

There hasn't been a single play this series
that the O’s have made an out on. Ramon isn’t even protecting the plate a little bit.

That wasn't his fault.
Roberts put the throw on the wrong side of the plate.
by O'sFan21 on May 3, 2008 5:51 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
It is a bunch of things
His average is horrendous and he cannot protect the plate for shit. He has been throwing the ball well though, it isn’t his fault that the runners are 75% to third by the time he has the ball because Cabrera is 9 feet tall. I’ve also noticed that on a pitch outside he slides across the box before the later part of the windup has begun and that gives the hitter time to react.

by PhilR8 on May 3, 2008 6:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The thing is, Sherrill is not so shutdown
With this 4.97 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. I say ship him if the O’s can find a buyer. Perhaps a team can use him in the role for which he’s suited. Would you rather have Sherrill or Walker? Ship either one. While this is sorted out, they’ll have to wean Johnson into the closer role and see if he can deal with the situation. Alternatively, I wonder if the O’s will try to get him a start.
by drj on May 3, 2008 6:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
rick kranitz said he is supremely comfortable with sherrill on the mound
Me? Not so much. But still, I like that he’s getting a ton of saves. Some bonehead GM will want him if he’s got twenty or so saves under his belt.
by PhilR8 on May 3, 2008 7:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Exactly
We know better, but that saves number is gonna make SOMEBODY bite. Get a decent to good 2B or SS prospect, and see ya, George.

The fact this game was so damn winnable
if we had a SEMBLANCE of a MLB offense is what’s so frustrating. If the O’s just had league average players at SS, C, 1B and DH, this team would be 4 games in front of the division.

Smellin' a lot of "if" comin' off that plan...
...I hear you. At the same time, it’s a lot to ask to suddenly have 4 better players at those positions. That being said, though, the failure to find a reasonable 1B or DH cannot continue; especially in the AL East. We’ve GOT to get offense out of those positions, damnit. Ramon looks to be falling off the table completely, Luis Luis is every bit as bad as we thought he’d be…and beyond Wieters I dunno if there is any help coming from the minors in the next two years.

so much to ask? Just give me .265 BA at all 4 positions and we’re leading the division right now by 4 games, easy.

autograph hunt
Too bad the O’s couldn’t score any damn runs today. I did manage to get Chad Bradford’s, Jeremy Guthrie’s, Dennis Sarfate’s, Steve Traschel’s, and Garrett Olson’s (?) autograph so that was fun. I almost got Luke Scott’s autograph but his punk ass said no .
Does anybody know if the O’s will take BP before Sunday’s game?

I was standing over by the O's dugout
Luke was taking BP. He finished and starting walking towards the dugout when some dude behind me starting yelling his name. He came over. The two obviously knew each well. They chatted for awhile while I politely kept my trap closed. Once they were done talking, I, along with a couple of other people, yelled, “Luke, can you sign my ball.” He yelled, “Sorry guys, need to get back to field.” I was kind of joking around earlier about Luke being a punk ass. I seriously don’t mind. It’s BP, not some santioned time for autographs. If the players want to sign a ball, cool, but I don’t hold against them. Shortly after, another dude was yelling for Burres. Brian walked over and these dudes obviously knew each well too. They were making after game plans. Brian inquired if some chick was coming but apparently she was off to Vegas. He laughed and ran off. The dude next to me started yelling for his autograph but he wasn’t having any of it. I then saw Guthrie step out of the dugout and asking for stuff to sign from fans. I obviously did a beeline towards Guts, got his sig on my ball, and told him he was shit. I later saw Chad Bradford just chatting up with random fans near the outfield. I excitedly got his autograph when some dude asked me who he was. I said, “That’s Chad Bradford.” Then he said, “Is he any good.” Now the stereotypical west coast fan doesn’t know crap about baseball, which is exactly what I thought when he asked me this. I may not be familiar with every reliever in the AL, but I know who the good ones are. So privately I was saying, “Yeah, he’s fucking awesome, you douche If you’re lucky, your team won’t have to face him today so he won’t have to clean up your sorry ass hitters like he did last night.” But I just said, “Yeah, he’s pretty good,” and walked away.

So I take a little vacation in Latvia. I know, I know. Still, it's not Latveria. Anyway, two incredible things happen while I'm gone:
1. Sid rules. Yes, he’s back, rising Phoenix-like (or Nixon-like) from the ashes of a funeral pyre of his own construction (with the help of his friends Jim Bean and Johnnie Walker), El Sid shuts down the powerful Kansas City Quarter-Pounders - and you thought he could only beat the Rays, didn’t you?- with a masterful 6H /8 IN 2-1 win. A lot of blathering afterwards, needless to say. C’mon, it’s Sid: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/recap?gid=280501113
2. But here’s the cool thing. I took off for Latveria—damn, now you’ve got ME doing it—Wed. night—and the 4 games I missed were ALL quality starts. Whoa!!! Nice to see Guts pick up a win, of course—which should happen more frequently than every 10 months, wouldn’t you agree?—but still, I’m amazed that this shall we say “unheralded” starting staff is pitching its collective brains out, ass off and like that.
If they promise to keep it up, I’ll go back to Latveria. Although I’ll take the laptop next time and watch some of the games.
Welp, frickin’ West Coast day game today doesn’t do me a lot o’ good time-wise, and it’s the Trashman anyway—so I’ll prolly watch Kazmir shut down the Pink Sawx (knock wood) and help get us back within 1. Great April people, let’s rock May.
Go O’s!

Toronto Blue Jays manager
It has been a tough start for the Toronto Blue Jays and manager John Gibbons, who is getting no slack no matter where he goes. He visited his 96-year-old grandmother last week, and he recounted this conversation.
“She asked me, ‘What’s wrong with your team?’ I said, ‘That’s a good question,’ ” Gibbons said. “Then she said, ‘Are you going to get fired?’ That’s another good question. I didn’t expect her to hammer me. I thought she’d give me a hug or something.”
That was pretty funny.
