Excellent way to start the inning
you freaking idiot. At least throw some strikes
When you have a four run cushion
You gotta throw strikes. Let your defense make some outs.
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
that's what was worrying me..
looks like he couldn’t get the ball down for some reason
ouch...
i don’t like eddie coming on to talk about the awesomeness of manny ramirez.

in his defense..
that has the markings of one of the electronic signature pads. One of the early ones where you couldn’t really see what you were writing for a second and a half. Just my opinion.

Sorry to let you down
Not sure where SC is, I had a family dinner to celebrate report cards coming home.
Thanks, Nawlins, for posting a thread.
Go O’s!
As I told me wife, if this was last year, this game would have been 7-4 Red Sox last year when Bad Danny reared his head…

GOD DAMN IT
THE LORD IS A BOSTON RED SOX FAN.
I can just see ESPN now, “That’s what you get for hitting Pedroia.”
FUCK.
Welcome back, zknower.
FUCK.
I FUCKING HATE YOU CABRERA.
YOU’RE BACK ON MY SHITLIST.
Against the god damned fucking red sox. FUCK.
ARGH.
FUCK
I don't know, but you were slaughtering SC
This will be the 3rd straight sorry ass start by Cabs.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
in fact,
if you look at his last 6 starts, only two were bad at all. his last one against MN, and 5/25 @ TB.
Don't forget the hex key driver....
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
christ. the red sox are true gamers.
down by 3 runs, they fight their way back to take the lead against the hapless baltimore orioles. dustin pedroia PLOINKED by a Cabrera offering. JD Drew punishes Cabrera by taking him deep to right field. That’s what you get for plunking Pedroia. In fact, for good measure – RAMIREZ takes Cabrera deep as well – his 15th for the year. The Red Sox go on to win this game. It’s good times in Beantown, as the Boston Celtics are also reigning supreme. Might as well call it title town.
I just wrote the script for tomorrow’s ESPN segment.
Drop the "Christ"
And you could be pretty close

Maybe followed by a segment about how Manny's been hot since getting past 500
And at his current rate he should end the season with about 112 HR’s.

to danny's credit
he came right back and got the next 3. and his pitches looked decent. 95mph with movement.
it’s not a QS, but he’s not pitching badly either. boston has a pretty good offense after all.
he's had a reaaaaal tough time "sinking" his pitches today
he’s had a couple dominating sequences.. but most of the game he’s been pitching to an imaginary yao ming
Danny really may be a cold weather pitcher....
pitches don’t have as movement in humidity, after all…(which doesn’t bode well for summer in Baltimore)
It's not magic
It’s called a bad call by the ump. I hate NESN

Dear Pink Hat Nation,
You are at a baseball game, the Celtics are in Los Angeles, they do not hear your “beat LA” chant, so please, for the love of God, stop it.
in the grand scheme of things, the joke is on AMA
Seriously, how sad is it to waste your time at an Orioles blog when you claim to be a red sox fan?
But I thought he's in LA
and can’t hear me?

Eli Manning on line 1.
How does it feel to lose to Peyton’s less-talented little brother in the biggest game of the year?
You
You get the fuck out
at least until we have the lead again.
Then you’re welcome back.

TIE GOES TO THE RUNNER
Our announcers weren’t the least bit bothered by how iffy that call was because they were too busy shlobbing all over Pedroia’s nob.
That's what we get for beaning Pedroia.
No one hits a Red Sock and gets away with it. Not even Jesus.

Short version
1) Bad Danny showed up.
2) 1-0 PHN, but Danny gutted it out.
3) The O’s offense for the week showed up. 4-1 good guys
4) Bad Danny comes back. Boo, Bad Danny. Back to back by JD Drew and Manny. Boo PHN.
5) The O’s offense for NEXT week showed up early as Oki came in. I’m guessing Terry lost a bet and the pay off was he had to bring Oki in against us. 7-6 good guys.
6) Sarfate is dealin’.
That’s where we are…

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
None went long
How many outs did Sarfate piotch?
ChadBrad and Walker were, what, 1 batter each? Still available tomorrow.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Yeah they are still available
But any time you use a reliever you take a little bit out of him for the next day. They are in the mindset of only going 2-3 outs at most anyways, so when you get them up and have them warm up for half an inning then go on the mound and then pitch the inning it takes a little bit out of them.

Was wondering what the hell you were doing
when I realizes my TiVo was 2 minutes behind…

They're all on their way home
to watch the 2nd half of the basketball game.

Ballpark's supposed to be reallly nice
Hopefully, it doesn’t rain every second you’re there.

Retractable, and not completely enclosed
I do believe….

5-2 on the trip
Really, did ANY of us see this coming with the 5-6 games they played before this trip?

Did any of us see the Os at over .500
on June 10th?

I sure as hell didn't

I really
like this team. If I’m going to have to watch a team struggle to be .500 this is the kind of team I want to watch. I know they don’t have the talent to compete for the division or anything but this “never give up” thing is refreshing.

Gotta be the most entertaining
.500 team in a while!

agreed.
the teams of the past decade would’ve starting thinking about their golf games, dinner plans, and “road meat” long about the 6th inning of a game they were trailing, apparently, and forget how to play baseball.

You gotta admit...
Road meat is pretty distracting.

"Road Meat"
Ha! Is that an official term and was it approved by the Oakland subcommittee?

didn't it come from Canseco's book?
I mean, I don’t imagine that Canseco invented the term or anything…but I know that’s where I first heard it.

Haw-haw, Bad Daniel showed up - and we still won!
Our mighty bullpen is actually, well, sort of mighty—still hard to get used to. Anyway, this one basically sounds like a Fenway game, only with us in the role of the Red Sox.
We have now completed a successful series, sweeping 1 out of 3. Eat death, PHN!
Olson tonight—piece o’ cake. Go O’s!

i’m hoping good danny returns in his next game. let’s face it, danny vs boston is danny with less room for error than usual. i actually thought his pitches looked okay.
