Baltimore Orioles at Chicago Cubs, Jun 24, 2008 8:05 PM EDT
| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | HR | BB | K | W-L | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Jeremy Guthrie - RH | 16 | 102.2 | 3.51 | 1.21 | .237 | 13 | 30 | 68 | 3-7 |
 |
Sean Marshall - LH | 0 (13) | 8.2 | 4.15 | 1.73 | .250 | 2 | 7 | 5 | 0-0 |
Bad news: the Cubs hitters that have faced Jeremy Guthrie KILL HIM!
Henry Blanco is 2-for-2, Ronny Cedeno is 1-for-1, and Mark DeRosa is also 1-for-1. That's a 1.000 batting average! Aramis Ramirez is 0-for-1.
Bad news: the Orioles have nothing on Sean Marshall! He is holding current active roster Orioles hitters to a .000 average lifetime. Lance Cormier is 0-for-1 against Marshall.
No rain in the forecast, should be about 70-75 and clear in the Windy City tonight. This was supposed to be Guthrie against Carlos Zambrano, but Big Z's on the DL to be safe, and instead we get Sean Marshall making his first start of 2008 after 13 situational appearances out of the bullpen.
Prepare for Fukudome! Let's go, O's.

For the record
I liked the pic I had of Ramon grabbing Guthrie’s ass better when I did the rough draft of this thread.
Just sayin’.

There are 2.8M in the Baltimore metro area alone.

I know MelMo is whiny
but compare his offensive output versus Huff’s. If MelMo’s defense that much better than Huff’s to justify Huff sitting?
Aubrey’s batting .390 in his last 10 games.
Melvin’s batting .235 in his last 10 games.
Huff’s batting .347 for June
Mora’s batting .222 for June
So why is Mora in there and Huff is not?
And no, I can’t believe I’m defending Aubrey Huff, either. But numbers is numbers…and there’s a huge difference in the numbers.

He started hitting
like the guy we thought we signed 18 months ago. And to be fair, which I hate to be when the subject’s Aubrey Huff, but he did have a few good months last year. Just not at the beginning or the end.

I heard
that the plan before Norm got fired was to have the real Burt Reynolds on there, getting angry at the mockery made of his name, and replacing MacDonald, proceeding to answer questions even worse….too bad Norm got fired, that woulda been GREAT.

The Norm firing deal was just corporate
stupidness at its worst – West Coast President of NBC Don Ohlmeyer called Lorne and demanded he fired him, because HE didn’t think Norm was funny. It didn’t help Norm’s cause that Ohlmeyer was a friend of O.J. Simpson, and Norm was relentless on OJ before and after the trial, startin his first Weekend Update after teh verdict with “Well, it’s now official – murder is legal in California.”
I thought he was hilarious on SNL. But then again, I think Frank Stallone jokes are funny.

I heard one Metallica riff from the coming album. I liked it. But I liked the “St. Anger” riff, too.
Rick Rubin annoys me, but I think Metallica is the right band for him to work with.

St. Anger COULD have been a good CD
if every damn song on it was 2 minutes shorter, which is ironic, because I’m looking forward to the new CD.
But the video edit of the song Some Kind Of Monster was awesome. Took a plodding, repetitive 7-minute song and turned it into a 4-minute song that was one of the best Metallica has released in the last decade. I know, low bar to overcome, but still…

“Pyromania” sounds like shit on CD. Compressed to hell and the drums sound awful. Hard to believe it was the same guy who did “Back in Black.” That is the best sounding rock record EVER for my money. Everything just sounds perfectly mic’ed and mixed. Go back and listen to “What Do You Do For Money Honey” if you disagree…
