Baltimore Orioles @ Chicago Cubs


Sc2tounj_medium Qg4trj85_medium

  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 think 8+M in DC-BAL megalopolis. Not that we should be lumped together, but sometimes they do it.

There was a band named that

Or maybe it’s just Joe Orsulak’s ride….

that he would probably hit a five-run homer.

You get about 100 bonus points in the “better than the White Sox crew” category just for omitting the “he gone!” call after every non-Sox strikeout.

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.

Huff’s number look….really fucking good, don’t they? What happened?

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.
