I'll get her on it. Or find the photo in question.
"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."
I don't know if that's a "cougar", per se...
...I think she’s just old.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
woo!
Torres with a leadoff single that any left fielder in the league would have caught, but thankfully they have Jack Cust.
Damn, that DD...
He’s a god damn genious!
Improving the ballclub: Not one of Peter Angelos' concerns.-SC Wed Jan 30, 2008
what's weird to me
is that this is Dave doing the Dusty Baker thing I always hate. “Well, Brian needs a day off. Second base bats leadoff, though…”
I’d have expected he would hit Payton leadoff, not that that’s any huge upgrade.
Lowest OBP in A's lineup: .310
4th-highest OBP in O’s lineup: .310
oh, god
Buck: “They’ve never had any real high averages. They’ve had some home run hitters, but never any real high averages.”
What a detriment it’s been.
new rule for MASN
everytime Buck says something inane, they have to cut to a reaction shot of Amber.

ha! ha, ha, ha!
Until it’s 3-2, you hang on n’ wait! Ha! The A’s are run by an idiot that puts contending teams on the field with no money! Fuckin’ losers! This shit doesn’t work!
awesome
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.
I predicted Luis would be my main source of rage this year
And so far I haven’t been wrong. Which is crazy considering all the shitty things about this team.
man
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.
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.
Improving the ballclub: Not one of Peter Angelos' concerns.-SC Wed Jan 30, 2008
BTW...
thanks for calling me out…
Papa Shango lunatics that believe in voodoo magic via the power of web logs or TV commentators saying “no-hitter” think it’s my fault
But that doesn’t make it any less true.

and here's 20-RBI Bobby Crosby, too
Thankfully he can’t pick up an RBI on an out. Well he could run into an out.
Shouldn't there be a mercy rule....
that kicks in as soon as the other team scores?
Why the Hell Not?
Very frustrating series
The A’s have 19(!) singles so far, and zero XBH.
In fact, Mora’s double in game 1 is the only XBH either team has hit.
jesus christ
You have got to be kidding.
Payton lines out to Blanton who throws Scott out at third. I mean that’s just shitty.
good graphic
Most times caught stealing, picked off, or out trying to advance.
Baltimore Orioles
NUMBER ONE!
Baltimore Orioles
NUMBER ONE!
"lines" is awfully generous.
He lobbed it out to the pitcher with a little arc on it. How the fuck is Luke not back at 3rd?????
it happens very fast
I really don’t blame Luke on that one, really. That’s just bad timing for that to happen. Awful, actually.
Very fast???
Your taught to freeze on a line – that ball was barely lined. No excuse for not getting back on that horseshit.
"that ball was barely lined"
and since you’re not taught to freeze on a ground ball, you can understand Luke moving
Nick Markakis: The Actual Greek God of Walks
I saw it
and it didn’t entirely look like a line drive coming off the bat
Nick Markakis: The Actual Greek God of Walks
So wait..
I didn’t realize that BOTH A’s hits were to our muscle armed SS. Hey Soos Christo!

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.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
Peace out...
time to go home and cut grass. Fucking Orioles!

I'm starting to hate this team
With Markakis and Jones doing shit, Roberts being fairly shitty, people like Ramon and Millar still around, and terrible, terrible Luis Hernandez giving away singles every night, they are really crushing me. Again. Good thing the pitching has really been impressive so far.
so let me understand this
we had runners on first and third with no one out?
Ouch.
Orioles Magic, Feel It Happen.
I have tickets for the B-more premiere of “Young At heart” tonight, which is supposed to be great. Anyone here seen it?

Was 93, according to Gameday.

Blech
Its going to be another pitchers game. Guthrie’s going to pitch like crazy, and no one’s going to hit.
Trembley's just talking crap with Gary
He sounds like you’d expect him to sound, not a cliche machine. It’s kinda fun to listen to.

and then ground out weakly

Why is the game on now
Shit what inning?
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
This team WILL NOT TAKE YES FOR AN ANSWER.
Load ‘em up, we’ll get you out of it.

Weren't we supposed to hopefully trade a bunch of these guys
Huff, Millar, Ramon, Payton?
At this rate no-one will want any of them.

Last month, we would pull off a late inning comeback in this game to win.
This month, not so much.

So, my favourite miracle comeback this season was...
when Trax stunk up the place, leaving during the third inning, we’re down by 6, and then Jay Payton hits a home run, leading us to come back to win it.
That was awesome.
And SC called it as soon as JayPay hit it
"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
but he clearly needs to be booed more
Maybe we should have imported some Raiders fans into the audience to juice up his performance.
i can't do this today
i had to pop in to see all the hand wringing, but i just can’t sit through it. the O’s-and you guys-are going to have to lose this one without me.
ugh.
THIS is Birdland?!?

On the bright side
Luke definitely appears to be improving again. It’d be nice if he returns to mid-April form.
Another nobody we're making into Cy Young
5 of 6 first batters on. 1 lousy run.
I just hope we actually score more with 1st and 2nd with only 1 out, but I know better – we’ll run our way out of this, too.

Well....Ramon got a hit in a clutch situation
wow. I guess what they say about broken clocks is true, huh?

hey guys.. i just discovered something
the less i follow a game, the less it affects my mood for the rest of the day.
Talk about investing myself a bit much to a baseball team eh
I pretty much took 2006 off.
I get extra pissed off about Oakland though because I’m friends with the most obnoxious A’s fan ever, and they always kill the Orioles (like most teams).
Why the Hell Not?
see? that foul out barely hurts me. I didn't watch the game.
And I’m going to go right back to not watching this brady bunch of losers
Nice try, Nick
Kid laid out, folks. Someone’s not packing it in yet.
"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
see...
i don’t think anyone’s packing it in. packing it in suggest they’re holding something in reserve. i think there are just a lot of dudes on that team that have nothing to pack!
ronnie's a dillweed.
Tell me Razor hasn't packed it in
He’s not even trying anymore. BRob’s freelancing on the bases, Mora’s letting catchers throw BRob out, and Millar, well, the sad part is I think Millar IS trying and he’s just this bad.
Hell, when AUBREY HUFF is your best player in April, your offense is in deep doo-doo.

and some of the most bone-headed defensive moves possible…
and an unwarranted inflated ego….
the guy makes some great plays on the field sometimes.. and delivers clutch hits.

Unless Sarfate grew a mustache and suddenly became a submariner.
Why the Hell Not?
Bradford
I love how after I have trashed him the past couple days on forums and message boards about how he drops the ball every time we need him (along with Walker) he goes and drops the ball when we need him. Thanks Chad for making me right, but I didn’t want to be right you dumbass.

Congratulations to CareFirst on the K’s for Kids foundation? I don’t get it. It’s a commerical about their cause, and Palmer says “congratuations on the foundation”...That’s like saying “Congratulations to McDonald’s on their…Ronald McDonald House…in their own commerical”

We all know his arm is dogshit so you have to shorten the god damn throw.
Didn't they
Have a guy running in front of him? What’s he supposed to do, charge it into the baseline?
Should still be 5-4
if we had a damn MLB shortstop.

I need this game for morale purposes.
I’m sure the O’s and all of you do too.
I need a dominating, no conspicuous problems, I can pretend the Orioles are good kind of win
Not THIS shit. This is depressing, win or lose.
I think a 30-3 win would do it.

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….
I don’t want to hear about “fundamentals anymore”
It's Lance Cormier to the resc....ah, screw it
we’re doomed.
Even I can’t keep this up.

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.
Why the Hell Not?
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.
Hit the pole = Homerun

an Orioles haiku
the orioles suck
suck suck suckity suck suck
they really do suck
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.
Rah Rah Rasputin / Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that / Really loved Birds. -- Boney M
