O's                                 Astros

1. BRob- 2B                         1. Michael Bourn- CF

2. Markikass - RF              2. Kaz Matsui- 2B

3. MelMo- 3B                      3. Miguel Tejada- SS

8. Dr. Jones- CF                 8. Ty Wigginton- 3B

9. Cintron - SS                    9. Humberto Quintero - C

O's Notes:

  • On Roch's blog he writes "Millar got his hair bleached blonde, except for the back, which is still dark for reasons he doesn't understand. He had no idea it wasn't completely blonde until later." I can't wait to see this.

  • Alex Cintron gets the start over Boom Boom at shortstop. After Boom Boom's 3 pitch strikeout last night I think I saw enough.

  • Adam Loewen is scheduled to pitch tonight for Double-A Bowie. He's only suppose to pitch 2 innings. After tonight Loewen will make 4 more rehab appearances for Bowie and then 1 for Triple-A Norfolk.

I bet Steinbrenner will tell him to “pitch more like Jamie Moyer”.

more on this

Ponson, when the Rangers signed him after his long absence from baseball:

“I needed the break,” Ponson said. “Mentally, I was exhausted. I told my agent not to worry about it, that I was just going to chill and relax. And I needed to get my off-the-field problems taken care of. I didn’t grab a baseball for seven months.”

“Now I’m really energized,” Ponson said. “I’m ready to be back, and I’ve got my joy back in baseball. It’s feeling fun again. And I’m really grateful to the Rangers for giving me this chance.”

Rangers, on his release:

“We’re trying to put together a team of 25 guys pulling together,” general manager Jon Daniels said. “Based on some recent comments, he did not want to be a part of that, and that’s something we’re not going to tolerate. We want guys who want to be here and want to pull for the team, and not guys who are here for their own self-interests.”
...Daniels declined to discuss the specifics and Ponson was unavailable for comment, but team sources said Ponson was put on notice after creating a serious disturbance at the hotel bar in St. Petersburg during the team’s last road trip.

Oops.
He was told that further problems would not be tolerated.

Two more incidents occurred this week. Ponson started with three days’ rest on Wednesday against the Indians and allowed six runs in four innings. Only two were earned because of three errors committed behind him, and Ponson reacted furiously after being taken out. His actions were interpreted as “showing up” his teammates.

The second incident occurred when manager Ron Washington informed Ponson on Thursday that he would be pushed back in his next start so that Kevin Millwood could start Tuesday on his regular four days’ rest. Ponson would have pitched on Wednesday on six days’ rest. Ponson wasn’t happy with that decision and made his feelings clear in a heated discussion with the manager.

Way to go Cashman! Have fun with Sidney! You Yankees are all class.

Man, there is no one at the yard

Guess everyone decided to either go for Wild Bill night last night or Nick Bobblehead night tomorrow.

Sorry, had a softball game

Grudge match against the team that cut my kid in the preseason. We didn’t win, but we played as well as we have all year against the 2nd best team in the league, and ran aggressively. A 14-7 loss felt pretty good tonight – 2 weeks ago, it was 15-0 after 3 innings.

Playoff game Monday

which is, I think, the end of the season for us. Decent pitching, but no hitting. At least we’re pissing parents on the other teams off with our baserunning….

I prefer annoying

Our motto for 3B runners – make them worry more about you than the batter. It pays off….

And parents on other teams hate it when I yell “If she’s in the baseline, run through her – you have a right to the baseline!” and “Run through home plate, and the catcher if you have to.”

I make a lot of friends that way. :)

why is Millar batting in front of LUUUUKE?

I hope he draws a walk to give Luke loaded sacs.

It just got to the 2nd inning for me. Who’s up now so I know if it caught up yet?

I hope the O’s can get him some runs.

Jim and Gary

have been talking about bobbleheads for five minutes. Key points:

1) Nick is better looking than his bobblehead
2) Jim felt misrepresented when on a joint bobblehead with Earl because it made them look the same height.

I'm buzzed on white wine

Is that wrong? I had a fish/pasta meal for dinner and didn’t want to change booze types. But I feel like a tool watching baseball and drinking white wine…

Had to lie to my girlfriend

to end a date early for this game… Sorry but a pitching duel like this calls for drastic measures…Nice hits Jonesy

I guess it's not really, especially since I properly paired it with my dinner.

So my reply should have read “Thanks for making me feel OK with my snooty side.” Which is way less cool.

You're welcome, snob

And what's wrong with white zin?

It goes well with my summer dress, remember?

I'm wearing shorts and an Eighteen Visions skull tee, sitting in my man cave.

And during commercial breaks, I am singing the new downloadable Avenged Sevenfold songs on Rock band.

...white zin is decidedly inappropriate.

'Tis true

I am SO jealous of DLC for GH3 – I have the Wii version :(

Only about 9 months until GH:Metallica though…

Honestly

The GHIII DLC has been a big disappointment, besides the modern metal pack (Thrice/Deftones/A7X) and the Velvet Revolver pack. Rock Band has been infinitely better (with way more to pick from too). Supposedly there’s a Wii hard drive peripheral in the works so they can get DLC sometime too, though?

by punkrawka on Jun 18, 2008 8:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Never heard that.

Would be awesome.

Hunter Pence, you are an excellent outfielder

So fuck you for turning Adam’s double into a single!

For slipping into Brian Moehler’s jersey and taking his spot tonight

Roy's not very good this year

I had that bastard on my fantasy team.
