PrintBaltimore 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.

Hasn't he come around

Awesomeness of awesomeness
As I was driving on the beltway around DC today – guess what freakin license plate I see?

you serious? an SUV, right?
Man… you’d think with like 3 million+ people between those two cities, you wouldn’t run into stuff like this
three million?
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.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
Take up that argument
with the U.S. Census Bureau – y’all are officialy linked like Raliegh-Durham and Philadelhia-Wilmington

Depends on which census is coming out – next census we see will likely describe us as the Baltimore-Towson metro area & will include York County, PA.

There was a band named that
out of Salisbury for almost a decade – who knows, maybe a former member.
Or maybe it’s just Joe Orsulak’s ride….

I have to go to work
but, I’ll be checking in through out the night.
We better get some run support for Guts or else i we might be in for a long night.
Geaux Eaux's
I'd love to see Guts
pull out a Feliz Hernandez and give himself a 4-0 lead.

Guthrie is so awesome, though
that he would probably hit a five-run homer.
A mind without purpose will walk in dark places.
So, the question becomes
is there any reason to watch the WGN telecast? It’s about the only time I will get to see another team’s crew. Any reason to do it?

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.
"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
I'm totally OK with attacking Mora.
No moral dilemma there.
"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
Of course
Huff’s number look….really fucking good, don’t they? What happened?
Some say he never blinks, and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves... all we know is, he's called Luke Scott.
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 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

Old(ish) SNL skit
I’m too lazy to link it. It was hysterical.

I did love
the Celebrity Jeopardy skits. The Sean Connery stuff was hilarious.

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.
Some say he never blinks, and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves... all we know is, he's called Luke Scott.
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.

And ANYTHING to avoid those Disco Geico commercials.

Carolina-California League All Star Game is underway
AKA Wieters’ last game at single-A.
Arrieta started for the Carolina League and pitched a perfect first inning with a K. Wieters has an RBI single in his first at bat.
Well, for me...
I can’t wait – they had him skip Delmarva, and Bowie’s a hell of a lot closer.

Frederick to Bowie ain't no Sunday drive
55 miles, although 270 makes it almost a straight shot.

I heard some of them last year
and they SUCKED BALLS. I’m more excited for the new Metallica. At least they have Rick Rubin to tell them, “Guys? Yeah, that didn’t work.”
Supposed to be more old school, 8-minutes long stuff with killer solos. Kirk’s got the wah pedal back in full force.

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…

I'm a member of the NEA
so I guess I am. From CNN.com:
“Education Secretary Rod Paige called the National Education Association a “terrorist organization” Monday as he argued that the country’s largest teachers union often acts at odds with the wishes of rank-and-file teachers regarding school standards and accountability.
“
"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
I get the anti-NEA sentiment, honestly
It’s at least a legitimate point for debate. But I’m not seeing the terrorism tie-in.

Excellent move, Guts
Setting up the double play. Got em right where he wants em.
Y’know…why do these invite these know-nothings into the booth? So they can giggle?
Jimmy Buffett was up there during a Cubs-Sox game the other day, right? And he was talking about when he was a kid. And he says, “I loved Steve Garvey.”
I wondered immediately how that would go over with CHICAGO CUBS FANS.

Yeah but Edmonds is terrible against LHP. .154/.185/.308 this year.
Of course Murton is 1-for-12 this year.

That was a hell of a lot of stress
for 1 run scoring.

Did Mora have a green light, or told to go?
Or was it purely more of his dipshit base running skills?
That looked like a legit single to me

That was a disgrace of an at bat for Cedeno. Why does this guy work so well out of the stretch, if he was still a middle reliever you’d think he would be a terrible closer as he allows to many to teach.
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
Huh?
I meant to say that you wouldn’t believe this guy could be a good closer because he lets too many men get on and eventually that should come back to bite you.

I disagree - usually you still flash it on the scoreboard and give a brief cheer.
Just professional courtesy.
Don't wait up
waiting for ESPN SportsCenter or ESPNews to mention it, either.

Twice in a week
Shutdown has loaded the bases with 0 outs and no one has scored. That’s my quota for the season, I don’t really need to see him try it again.

Oh, dear God...
Brace for the return of Brandon Fahey:
“We may do something to get another shortstop,” Trembley said. “I think it’s a little far-fetched to think that I’m going to put Melvin [Mora] over there. I could double-switch and put him over there for the last three innings or something. But to be perfectly honest with you, I wanted to keep Salazar. They are starting two lefties against us and then I think after that, we might do something.”
At this point, it appears that Brandon Fahey is the most likely candidate to get added to the roster. Fahey is hitting .280 in 42 games for Triple-A Norfolk and started the season on the Orioles’ Opening Day roster, going 5-for-25 (.200).
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Melvin Mora could not be such a bad shortstop that he makes Brandon Fahey good.

...
O’s take lead in middle innings.
O’s nearly blow lead in late innings.
Sherrill gets bases-loaded no outs in ninth then strikes out side.
Guthrie pitches well until Edmonds home run, gets run support, win.
all is well except for my blood pressure.
I was pacing for like a half-hour...
If I smoked, I definitely would for those last two innings.
