O's Notes:

  • Adam Jones gets the night off with Jay Payton taking his place in centerfield. Lets hope Jay doesn't get tossed like he did the last time he took over in center for A.J. (Toronto)

  • ChadBrad won't pitch tonight after throwing two innings last night.

  • Adam Loewen got his two innings in last night after waiting out a two hour rain delay. He allowed one run and one hit. Loewen will pitch again tomorrow when Bowie travels to Altoona.

  • Single-A Fredrick pitcher Tim Bascom pitched six innings and sat down the last 11 batters he faced. He gave up one run on five hits with one walk and six strikeouts.

that would be a great video, except for one thing

the idea of the Orioles being buyers at the trade deadline sends chills down my spine. Hopefully Andy is not that stupid. Even with a couple top players, it’s not worth raiding our organization in a division with TB and Boston.

by math_geek on Jun 19, 2008 6:59 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

buyers at deadline

Ain’t happening. Andy said we would have to be in 1st place in order to consider that route.

Where can you buy player t-shirts? I want the Majestic brand shirts that simply say orioles on the front, and then have a player’s name and number on the back. I couldn’t find any on mlb.com. And some bastard bought the one I wanted on ebay.

or, if you’re around MD, your local Finish Line, Champ’s, Shenk & Tittle, etc.

yeah, i checked there,

You can only buy customized shirts.

http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2263008&cp=1452344.1452611.2454035

I guess I could pick a player and his number though. Plus I want a black one.

Only the HR was hit well. The other hits were a bunt, an infield single, and a very slow ground ball single.

BRing in the bullpen

He got to the 6th. Hey, he’s our 5th starter. That ain’t bad. Most years, he’d have been our 3rd best. I can live with a 6-3 lead in the 6th with 2 outs out of my 5th starter.

I’m loving Gameday adding video during the game – makes not having the TV a little more tolerable.

But my boy’s playing on the Wii and my wife was watching Bridge to Terabithia, so here I am.

Deficit spending can work in SOME cases

like the Great Depression and the New Deal – although some historians will tell you teh New Deal DIDN’T work, and it was the industrial buildup to prepare for WWII after Pearl Harbor that actually ended the Great Depression. Unemployment rates during the New Deal actually didn’t shrink that much. Although Salisbury got a bithcin’ post office out of it. And a couple of schools.

Adjusting for inflation, new workers at GM make the same wage as workers in 1948. And the wealth disparity in teh U.S. has risen so much in the last 30 years it’s actually higher than duringteh Robber Baron Gilded Age. Listening to Bill Moyers makes me smarter.

Fine by me....

Back to the action on the field…..

Why is SARFATE coming in?

Sarfate hasn't worked in a while either

bringing him in makes sense, but my only concern is when does Comier get to pitch?

by math_geek on Jun 19, 2008 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Exactly

Cormier should be in games with a 4 run lead. Sarfate should be in games that are close.

I've got to wonder

why do any organizations even return Andy McFale’s phone calls? I mean, we raped Seattle and even with Tejada improving this year, I didn’t think anyone would give us all we got for him…If I’m a GM and the Orioles call me, I’d just hang up…figuring theres no way to come out on top…

in any case no-one respects the Mariners or Astros organization

everyone will assume McPhail robbed them because he could. They’ll still figure Andy’s willing to deal. I just hope he’s able to make more realistic deals in the future (although robbing people blind is always fun)

So, who DOES get the 9th?

I’m good with Cormier. No sense using up anyone else and JJ doesn’t need anymore work tonight.

Cintron’s got 3 hits. Maybe, just maybe, we have a shortstop.

If you're breaking out "postulate"

then I think it’s a given in your case.

it’s not like Palmer and I have both taken the same IQ test and compared results or anything. I’m proposing and assuming.

Things are so bad..

Astros fans are regretting not re-signing Huff.

I’d rather have Huff than Wigginton.
He does make about $2 million/year more than Wiggy (3 X $20 M vs. 4.4 million / year for Wigginton). He didn’t have a great year last season, but he hit better (.280, .790 OPS) than the combo the Astros had over the course of the season at 3d.

Really, the big error was failing to offer Huff arbitration, since the Astros could have gotten a 1st round draft choice.
