PrintBaltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays, Jun 6, 2008 7:07 PM EDT
| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | HR | BB | K | W-L | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Brian Burres - LH | 11 (12) | 64.2 | 4.87 | 1.47 | .297 | 9 | 19 | 31 | 4-5 |
 |
Shaun Marcum - RH | 12 | 78.2 | 2.63 | 0.94 | .181 | 9 | 22 | 67 | 5-3 |
That's right! Shaun Marcum is a straight up mid-season Cy Young contender. He has been freakin' dominant. .181 BAA?! Straight outta Compton.
Burres' last two starts have been really f'ing horrible and given his history and projections and everything else, I'm unfortunately assuming we can't lay it all on the doorstep of him facing the Red Sox and Yankees. But I hear he knows how to step it up. I would like to see that happen. That's not me being snarky, either. I'd really like to see that happen.
As it is, even if you take the two hideous outings into account and look at his full line, he's still outperforming expectations, and he's done a damn good job. Get it back, Bri Bri.
The Blue Jays aren't as bad as they looked early in the season. They're about as good as they were expected to be, and that's without the released Frank Thomas and the injured Vernon Wells. This team has Kevin Mench AND Brad Wilkerson.
Reason for turnaround? Eckstein. DUH.

I can't rag on Eckstein anymore
as far as little shits go, none bother me more than Pedroia.
I hope we have Cy Burres today.
I hope BJ Ryan doesn’t get a save against us today; his fist pump and screaming towards the “catcher” is very annoying.
Blue Jays demoralized?
Yesterday, they lost a heartbreaker on the order of our Mother’s Day massacre of last year to the Yankees. BJ Ryan could not nail it down, allowing Jason Steroidi to take him deep and choke away a game they should have won. (Two outs, nobody on, and the Yankees score 3 to win).
Let’s kick them while they’re down!
The Orioles should model themselves on Ric Flair...
He did win 16 world championships, after all.
And he was never afraid to kick a man while he was down…
I was thinking more along the lines of...
Jerry Lawler and Andy Kaufman. A pile driver with the full weight of Daniel Cabrera behind it. Followed by a suflex and then a knee drop from on top of the turn buckle.
RIP, Sir Sidney
The Dallas Morning News is reporting that the Rangers have designated Sidney Ponson for assignment for “disrespectful and adverse reactions to situations unbecoming of teammates.”
Ponson, a non-roster invitee in spring training, was having a solid season for the Rangers with a 4-1 record in 9 starts and a 3.88 ERA. The Rangers have 10 days to trade Ponson.
are you serious?
Ponson has actually been pitching well. He must did somethng seriously effed up.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
She the "One Player we MUST get" thread
He had to be dragged out of a bar the night before a start, then gave up 12 hits and 5 runs in a little over 3 innings.

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that the Netherlands have de-knighted Sidney Ponson for for "disrespectful and adverse reactions to situations unbecoming of a human being."

Speaking as Sid's parole officer, I'm genuinely flabbergasted by this development.
No, really. Um, where was the Dutch De-Knighting Commission STARTING ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO? Does news travel to the Netherlands by underwater freaking tom-tom?!?
I think the statute of limitations on de-knighting him ran out a LONG time ago, so I’m going to encourage the now clean ‘n’ sober Sid to sue their big behinds—and keep his own on the straight and narrow, of course.

Must be wearing a smaller uniform. Or a bigger one. However that’s supposed to work.
2 things
1) Those blue uniforms look like jammies.
2) Marcum’s facial hair is disgusting.

How did she know? And more importantly, do I have enough time to dye it orange by 1:07?
well thats lame

airhorn
That stupid airhorn during every Orioles pitch makes me never want to watch Rogers Centre games. I suppose something that minor shouldn’t bother me, but it’s getting on my nerves! You know it’s going to happen, but each time it gets more and more annoying!
thank god somebody else noticed it
i thought i was the only one being drivin crazy by it
Freddie Bynum should not be allowed to steal
He’s been caught more than he’s been successful.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
nobody should be allowed to steal
it’s pathetic. they shouldn’t be allowed to steal or take any extra bases the entire season, i don’t care how many runs it costs us. singles only please. i can’t watch these idiots getting nailed by 5 feet twice a game. it’s so stupid.
we're successful 68% on the season
that’s miserable
I'd love to know how many potential runs we've squandered by bad baserunning
case in point…2 singles after Bynum’s gunned down. Just taking a lead is a high risk move.
Lance did HIS job
Let’s see the offense do theirs.
19-10 for the good guys tonight in Girls 12-under softball, btw. And I hate being a 3B coach with an umpire who loses count of the count.

Ramon finally makes a throw
and the umpire doesn’t make the “in the area” call, he actually watched if the foot hit the bag.
Damn.

not great, but OK, but his lackidaisical fielding just cost us a run.

what in the sweet hell just happened?
I just came back from dinner and saw we were losing 4-0 (which was weird, because I had predicted the score would be 4-0 before i checked).
Then just went back down.. brushed teeth, flossed, setting up some stuff… we’re up 6-5? Awesome.

Shutdown gets the first batter out, puts the second one on, gets the 2nd out, puts another runner on, then gets out of the inng and we win.

so how did Burres do?

Yanked before he blew up

It’s been an Earl Weaver kind of game in the middle. Didn’t see the beginning, it seems Bynum got picked off AGAIN. Very un-Weaver-like.

What are the chances Armando makes an appearance tomorrow?
Guts might breakout if they have ADD up there
I don't think its surprising that Guts doesn't get run support
He faces off against the top starter of all the other teams. I love Guthrie and it sucks he has to go against the better pitchers, but that’s what comes with the territory of being the number one guy.

I think that was a reference
to what I said in the other post about Sherrill beating Randy Myers’ record for saves.

Two down....
Gettin’ close to a 3-1 start to the road trip…..not there yet.

It's not a Shutdown Save
without at least one baserunner.

Really?
Damn – hadn’t noticed – too focused on us getting out of last….

well we're .5 game out of last too!

What an awesome win.
Awesome, awesome win.
Awesome win.
What a game.
I love this team again.
And a return to .500…
And Nick Markakis makes my fantasy team look way better.
Rays and the Orioles win
Good night for the good guys!
(I’m front runner for Rays bandwagon)

Until we play them...

Opening kinda suked...and it was their fault
But a friend of their locker room guys got us great seats…so they’re cool
they've brawled the yanks spring training
and against the red sox.
and the rays fans are all retirees so that’s also nice.
I love seeing Millar in a flipped-up hat
I just do.

I don't know why...
but I want to tear up everytime I see Adam Jones jumping up and down in that video.
That kid looks like he WANTS to be here. That’s awesome.

I sound like a broken record
but that kid looks better with every at bat. I am amazed that any GM in baseball would even return Andy McFail’s phone calls. The Budard trade is something I will be telling my grandkids about….assuming I ever acknowledge the existence of my illegitimate kid…

The O's now lead the AL
in wins coming back from at least 2 runs down. Never would have guessed that.

O's at .500 after 60
Really, who’d have thunk it at the beginning of the season. I would’ve thought maybe 25-35 or worse. And after last year, who’d think the bullpen would be the big factor in the improvement? Those trades are looking good, and sooner than expected.

I just watched the 8th on the mlb archive
1) Markakis is on FIRE.
2).Of course the O’s go on some offensive tear right after I mock their offense with my over under comment.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
Whoa, WATTA COMEBACK! And in the freakin' StupiDome, too...
which isn’t exactly a terrible venue, except for the pool table you have to play on, the anonymous-could-be-anywhere-concrete-and-metal externals and the outrageously polite people. I mean, the bleeping usherettes will only seat you BETWEEN BATTERS, so nobody accidentally gets an impaired view of one of the multiple Halliday Home-Cookin’ Calls.
Anyway, ha-ha, cool win! And tonight I get to watch Guts…lose 2-1 or something. Jinx. Sorry, I’m still distraught over the Ponson Deknightification—if it did indeed happen (I can’t find anything recent on Google, though there are people saying it already happened in any case, in either 2005 or 2007…or maybe both)

That win was the equivalent of Ric Flair
AND Jerry Lawlor tag-teaming Andy Kaufman.
The Jays are so demoralized they must be wondering if they’re jinxed. We sure know that feeling. Nice it’s happening to some other team. If Guthrie gets some runs today, then we know they are jinxed.
