A tale of two pitchers who defy their stats. There's no way Garrett Olson should be tied for the team lead in wins with 6 right now - his BAA is almost .300, his WHIP is north of 1.50, and his ERA is, well, bad. Yet, there his sits with a .500 record. I'll take it.
John Lannan has not suffered as kind a fate. His ERA is a respectable 3.34, his WHIP is an OK, not great, 1.29 and his BAA is not so bad either. Yet he's lost twice as many games as he's won. Maybe he and Jeremy Guthrie can exchange therapist's numbers after the series.
Game time is 7:10, on both MASN channels with mixed crews. Yuck. Let's Go O's!

Hmmm...
I was at the game Lannan pitched against Guthrie last month, they both pitched outstanding games, but Guts one mistake floated out in fair territory, and the two that Lannan made ended up being long foul balls off Payton and Mora’s bats…hopefully, the O’s can figure him out tonight.
Yay, mixed crews.
The worst of both worlds.
We get to hear them verbally fellate each other while trying to remain abnormally objective about the game.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
I'm just saying...
it was nice during the series @ Baltimore when Palmer and Sutton talked baseball and everyone else just shut the fuck up.
Palmer, Sutton, Thorne...
and throw everyone else into the Tidal Basin.
Given that there will apparently be 37 announcers used in this game, I am deeply gratified
that Ferd Manfroo will not be one of them.

Burres, sick again
Brian Burres has left the team because of a reoccurrence of his stomach ailment. He underwent a CT scan that came back negative, but he’s questionable for Monday’s start against the Kansas City Royals at Camden Yards.
And DD still has a stick up his butt about Hayden Penn:
Manager Dave Trembley said he didn’t know who would take Burres’ place in the rotation, but he eliminated Hayden Penn from the discussion before the right-hander’s name came up.
Geez, forget your luggage ONCE at Spring Training, and the team brands you forever…
"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
OK, brand me a heretic
but I like the DC interlocking logo much better than the W. But maybe that’s because the last 8 years have taught me to be very distrustful of people wearing a W on a red background…
"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 am so done with Gnats annmouncers
bitching about the strike zone on the O’s home network.
"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
Oh, fuck a bear
THIS is how we’re starting for the second game in a row? Shit.
"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
Don't have the supplies
although this game might just call for a beer run
"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
the beer is around the corner
I go if we’re not up by the 3rd.

Mine's only 4 miles away
We’ll make a pact!

I'll buy you some
and email it in a refrigerator.
you’ll have to buy me Yuengling. Boston doesn’t have any.
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
The entire city is out?
Geez, I can get that in SALISBURY, for goodness’ sake. Some places on TAP.
"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
No, I mean they don't have it AT ALL
in this state. None. Nada. Don’t carry it anywhere. And it’s awful being the Pennsylvania boy that I am.
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
I'm sorry...
but that’s hilarious that I can find 3 bars within 10 miles of my house that have teh stuff on tap, and a convenience store 4 miles form my house that stocks it, and you can’t get it in one of the largest cities on the Eastern Seaboard. WTF? Sam Adams’ Co. get a law passed saying it couldn’t be sold in the Commenwealth?
"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
my uncle owns a few liquor stores up there
He always stocks up when he comes down to visit….for whatever reason he can’t get it.
I am not psychologically prepared to lose another game to these LOSERS.
Are you READING ME, players?

This is the second time
we’ve made this guy look like Cy Young this year.
"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
to be fair, he usually looks like this
it’s just that the Nats lack the ability to score him any runs, kind of like Guts.
Deep breaths people...
Lots of baseball to play
The Nats' uni's are easily the coolest thing about the team.
They sort of look like a college team in them (and sort of play like one). ‘Course, if we keep swinging the way we are, we will not do well next week against Fresno State.

Hmmm...Thunderstorm here.
Any idea on what’s going on with the DC weather? Like is this storm supposed to hit there?
Looks OK

Does John Lannon use GUYLINER?

Buck says he's bound to be a #3 hitter
as long as he’s behind Nick and in front of Mark Texiera, I’ll take it. Although I’d rather B-Rob, then Adam, then Nick, then Tex.

Nope, I'm out of evrything.
Not even a gallon of milk in the fridge at this point. I’ve got an early-morning store run in my future tomorrow AM before the kids get up.

Is Buck one of the dumbest "experts" on the air or what? Last night he had some HOWLERS.

Adam Jones, son!
OK, cheapest triple Cintron will ever get, but I’ll take it.
Milledge messed up somthing, ‘cause he’s looking hurt.

Totally off topic
Got the new Offspring yet? If you have, is it any good?
"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 have it on my desk at work
I didn’t bother listening to it yet.

I just get music sent to me
without even asking.
And yes, I know, I shouldn’t complain about getting music for free, but getting a lot of awful crap does get old.
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
I used to be on the Victory Records promo list.
I got an awful lot of terrible CDs out of that, but, a few decent ones, at least.
One of my co-workers
used to work at Victory. He has some absolutely CLASSIC Tony Brummel stories.
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
Ha, awesome.
Brummel seems like such a dick, I honestly have no idea why any bands would sign with Victory these days…
Brand loyalty
and as much as Brummel is a dick, he knows how to market an artist
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
Just like I buy everything on like
Young and Lost Club or Dischord, mall kids buy everything on Victory or Equal Vision
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
ouch.
I used to buy everything on Victory, then I somehow wound up with a Doughnuts CD. Yeah, I became a lot more careful in my purchases after that.
is that the all girl metal band from like Sweden?
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
yes, they were awful.
I expected Refused but with girls, but I got Earth Crisis but without songs about killing drug dealers and the like, also a whole lot less musical talent.
Nice gig
I used to get some CDs when I worked for teh daily paper here. Got Rage Against the Machin’s CD that way. I was rockin’ out to that a good 9 months before anyone else had even noticed it.

to better celebrate the victory

He's the DC version of Guthrie
"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

Guthrie doesn’t make dumbass errors like this

For some reason...
I’m still freaked out by John Lannan’s mascara. I mean, that’s just wrong.

OT: Carlin on SNL tonight
NBC is showing the first SNL tonight, with George Carlin as host. He wanted to wear a t-short and jeans, NBC wanted a coat and tie. They compromised on a t-shirt and a jacket.

i'm here
what did i miss?
"I’m sure glad he didn’t try to bunt." - DD on Melmo's game winning double, 6/17
Suck 1st inning
It got better after that. And JohnLannan can’t field his position, and I’m guessing it has to do with his mascara running. Seriously, dude wears guyliner, I swear.

Wait, My Network is trying to bring back the Twilight Zone again?
Somewhere, Rod Serling is spinning in his grave…
"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
My point exactly
This is at least the third try
"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
As Rod said
One third of what we did was terrible, one third was OK, but one third was really good.

Garrett Olson, RBI machine.
"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
Oh dear God, Teddy beat The Bird.
FIX!
"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
You wonder what Daniel was thinking watching Olson slam the f#cking ball?

Now THAT was a nifty play
Well done, Mr. Cintron.
"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
We really have scored 5 runs tonight, haven't we?
I almost need to rewind the TiVo just to remind myself how we did that. Luke’s HR is the only really memorable play.
Having a collection of thoroughly forgettable announers doesn’t help, either.

So, who goes to DC tomorrow to flatten Jim Hunter's tires
so he can’t make it to Nationals Park (Stadium, Yard, whatever the hell they call it) for Sunday’s game?
"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 bet he'd do it
if we told him he would be allowed to call the game again.

Fuck Willie Harris
He be a good fit on the O’s though
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
Buck doesn't like the QS stat
"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
That's what's so weird
because he then followed it up saying “PItchers can’t control if their team wins…” but went back to saying how dumb a stat a QS was. What does he want?
"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

Garrett got the ball
Jim: He said he was going to get a hit tonight
Buck” I bet he didn’t say it would be a bunt hit…
"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
Can I just say
thunder in surround sound is really freaking me out.
"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
Roberts 0 for 4
That’s not good…
"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
Nope
But everyone else is hitting…..and B-Ro is around .300
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
There's a certain numerical tendency
I’m hesitant to mention that lies in the balance…
"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
But, to get to 15
would require a hit tonight. Not like he’s gonna get to 56, but still….
"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 love that Garrett is rocking the tall socks.
"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
Wow
Mora got a hit. First time for everything. Perhaps someone could save the ball for him.

NoVa
Lots of Virginia, and Montgoimery County/PG types that never really bought into the O’s. Not many here on the shore. More Yankees fans here than anything after the O’s.
"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
No one cares about Philly down here.
It’s weird. I got cousins in Somserst County, family that goes back to the 1730s on the Shore, and they’re Yankees fans. No one, and I mean no one, on the Shore is a Phillies fan. Some of the Lower Delaware types are, but no one else. Couldn’t tell you why. And I never saw a red Sox hat down here until 4 years ago. No lie.
"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
Weird.
But then again, I see more Red Sox and Yankees hats on a daily basis than Pirates stuff, despite this town being about 70% Steelers/Pens fans…weird, right?

Nostalgia
The only time I ever see MA*SH any more is during rain delays. It’s kind of comforting.
Also, if the delay can get Olson the win while keeping him from coming back into the game to destroy his WHIP any further, my AL-only fantasy team will be happy.

Cormier going for the save

I like how the Nats market their games...
FIREWORKS! FREE MOVIES!...and a baseball game.
actually
the Marlins do the same thing, too. I am sure you know this, but no one cares about them, good or bad.
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
Yeah, 81 games in the middle of nowhere doesn't exactly move the masses...
I hope they get the new stadium, although I’m still mourning the Orange Bowl.
I was down last June for a Marlins/Rays game
it was fun, but there were less than 10k there
I got good seats behind the plate and there was an amazing heckler there. Two of my favourite lines:
“Hey ump, it’s a strike zone, not an end zone.”
“Elijah,, swing the bat like you swing at your wife”
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
I honestly feel...
that if they get a decent stadium in a decent location, that people will go. People love baseball in Miami. A lot of people still follow the Orioles, from the time when they were the only game in town for one month a year.
I am sure they will
Florida is just a weird state, demographically. Retirees, transplants and natives that follow whatever local team that has spring training there.

Good night, game over, drive home safely
and we’ll back with the LOVELY totals….
"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
