"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."

More Luis adventures at shortstop. It was a tough play and everything, but it boggles the mind that nobody is calling him out on his arm. That was in the hole, but it was a slow bouncer. His range isn’t even what everyone pretends it is.

You know, I don’t know where today’s O’s middle infield lineup ranks in the history of all-time middle infields, but I have to guess it’s somewhere near being the absolute greatest ever. Is there really any question? These guys can rake.
by SC on May 7, 2008 3:50 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
At what point
does his arm not being able to throw a runner out on rather routine plays start to become errors, just for fuck’s sake, and not infield hits.

It's a twist on the ol' "hit 'em where they ain't" strategy.
It’s called “Hit ‘em wherever that scrub Luis Hernandez happens to be standing, that MFer couldn’t throw out my grandmother if first base was 100 yards away.”
I think it’s pretty catchy, actually. Definitely catching on.

Luis is terrible, but he does seem to find his way on base more than you would expect

I've never seen anything like this.
That wasn’t even aggressive base running. That was just retard base running.

Aggressive
That’s not being aggressive, that’s just making bad decisions….

Even I can’t keep this up.

So, do we win ONE in KC?
Or is it 6 more in a row with KC and BOS?

Yeah
And because they’re actually rebuilding (or trying to), I want to be more supportive of them this year, but god damn, is this hard to keep watching.

If they were just losing it would be one thing.
But these tight games with all the fuck ups (like little league fuck ups too, not normal fuck ups) it’s so annoying.

An early morning Orioles limerick
There once were some Birds from Nantucket
Whose antics could make say “F*ck it.”
Don’t lose it in 9,
When the game’s on the line:
Get our hopes up and THEN really suck it.
