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

the game
I wouldn’t get to see it, but i think i’ll stop at beef o’ brady’s and see if they can put it on there.
History is best forgotten, even better rewritten
Since we can't forget it, lets remember it different ~ John Rueben
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.
why on earth is melvin mora in the 3 hole?
oh yea… because no one on this team (excluding the obvious) can hit. or maybe its the playoff experience.

Oh, look, they're runnging on D Cabs and Razor
WHAT a shock

things arent looking promising early...
"Don't worry, the fans don't start booing until July." - Earl Weaver
That K certainly helped
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.

i still get nervous when dcabs pitches
a few more quality starts and i’m sure i’ll calm down though…
"Don't worry, the fans don't start booing until July." - Earl Weaver
You'll never be completely calm
Any D Cabs start is guranateed to be a roller coaster – just keep getting out before they get runs, and I’m fine with it.

MELVIN MORA IS HITTING THIRD?
Are they on fucking crack cocaine? .664 OPS Melvin Mora? Jesus Mary and Joseph.
Roch had something on it
Diamond Dave though of it on the plane ride West. Hell, they weren’t hittin’ the way they are, shake ‘em up, right?
I think it’s called change for change’s sake.

Fuck, pop the corks. Season’s over, everybody. Y’all might as well pack it in. The Orioles have done it now.
Hey we won last night
and are winning now. What the hell. It’s not like ANYONE on this team is hitting well now, is there?

They had Garland at 37 pitches after two and now 45 after three

and elected to field for 2 straight half-innings in the interest of speeding up the game.

danny's line looks pretty good.
particularly after all the pitches in the first. how does he look? (ie, does anyone have extra innings?)
Looks OK
One of those boring games where you realize later, wow, he must’ve pitched pretty well.

Wieters can't get here fast enough.
Seriously, does anyone think Razor is actually better than him at this point? I doubt it. Matt would struggle, sure, but I think his end of season line would be better than Ramon’s.

MOTA!

This goes beyond Crow
Brian Roberts has been in this league long enough.
Anyone else think that that tame fly ball to RF...
...represented Luis Hernandez at the height of his powers? Hitting the ball absolutely as far as he was capable? Getting every bit of it that he can?

I was just thinking
if Brandon Fahey hits that same ball, the 2nd baseman has to charge it to make the out

or, like in the godfather, sometime it helps to cut off the prize horse’s head and put it in the owner’s bed while he’s sleeping.
in other words..
i don’t even know what i’m trying to say.
we should find something PGA loves...
...cut its head off, and stick it in his bed?
He loves B-Rob, right?

yea, i meant this inning tho
and i didnt think there’d be any way in hell that we’d get back around to him this inning

Fuck this offense
Honestly we are going to lose this 2-1. Bring back Tejoda.

Are we trying to lull them into a sense of complacency
only to spring our cunning plan in the 10th inning?
luis, brob, and honeybear
thats our next inning. lets hope one of them gets on base before kakes.
"Don't worry, the fans don't start booing until July." - Earl Weaver
Hmm... close game....
starting pitcher stays in…
puts on 2 men on base…
trembs calls bullpen…
bullpen gives up 2 hits to score runs.. then gets out of inning.. leaving their ERA untouched….
we lose another one…
are you projecting?
or did this just happen?
if Cabrera gave up a hit to lead off the 8th, why is he still in the game? He’s over 100 pitches.
no didn't happen this game..
predicting.. happened a few times .. recently.
I hate playing the Angels
They run on everything every time we play them.

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.

Adam Jones is the tits.
at least he's in great sha...
fuck it, i can’t even keep up that joke.
get that asshole off the team.
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.

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
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.
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.

I am so disgusted by this group of losers
You do this against Roy Halladay maybe I’ll understand…
But Garland? Really?
Disgusted, really?
This is not a good team. No one thinks it is. As long as we’re heading in the right direction long term, what else can you do?
I’ve taken a very Zen attitude towards the O’s this year.
Indeed
Plus, after ten years of being disgusted, this is a very easy loss to stomach. I’ve seen many many many many many many many worse.
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.
"If you're a fantasy baseball player, don't pick anybody from the Orioles. ... Nobody is going to pop your eyes out. But if you're in the American League East, bring your lunch, because you're going to need it." - Kevin Millar
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.

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?
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
You asked Scott for an autograph and he said NO?
What the hell?
Left to die with only freind
alone I clench my gun….
I’m all over the obscure song lyrics today, in case ya hadn’t noticed.

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.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
hahah.. I know this was a typo but...
“Guts, got his sig on my ball, and told him he was shit.“
“Thanks for the autograph, Guts. You are shit. then you run away
I HOPE NO ONE SCORES ANY RUNS FOR YOU EVER!!! TIME TO EBAY THIS BALL!!! You’ve been rick rolld!!!!”
by the way, good to know luke scott wasn’t as much of a douchebag as i originally thought when you wrote that.
NO BP IN ANAHEIM ON Sundays
fyi – get to the Doubletree Hotel (half mile south of the stadium in the City of Orange) lobby at 10 a.m. and you should catch most of your guys for autographs.
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!
p.s. Oh yeah, nice to see that the voters of Guam retained their sanity.

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.
So.. another one in the Cabrera Bowl
goes to Z, no? er. Doesn’t have to be a win… just a QS, right?
