.500! Must be a...peach of a hand. Game's at 1. Sadly the Jays won't wear those sharp throwbacks.

Burnett can opt out after this year

He’ll probably have his second good year as a starter.

Trembley

I know they won last night and all but I’m sick of the running yourself out of innings attitude. He cost them two runs last night by sending Bynum with one out with Roberts up. Roberts then singles and moves to third on Markakis single. Bynum should have scored here. But NO. Now there are two outs and Mora hits a fly ball to left that Roberts could have scored on making it 3-2 Jays at this point. Can we get a counter on the front page (like the Cabrera QS counter) on how many games Trembley loses for this club? They aren’t going to continue hitting HRs at this pace so it is going to catch up to them at some point.

Bynum has shown he should never ever have a green light.

The guy is not good on the basepaths, even f he does have a little speed.

Finally

Adam Bomb is batting second.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

and getting the bat taken out of his hand

for no good reason. Yeah, I know we just scored a run. still, I follow the Book of Earl: never trade an out for a run unless you know that one run will win the game. Sacrifice bunts are stupid, unnecessary outs.

Adam Jones is the tits.

There was an AP report that Guts fainted on the bench when he realized he had three [3] runs to work with.

But they brought him around and he went back out for the 3rd.

For heaven’s sake, don’t get him any more, people!

Burnett looks like he's settled in now.

This might be it for run support while he’s still in.

Pitch count is at 81 after 4 innings tho’.

The Orioles had Jones slotted in the second spot of the batting order Saturday, but Trembley said that was due to a day off for third baseman Melvin Mora more than it was a reward for hot hitting.

“Mora will hit third and Nicky will stay hitting second unless I take somebody out of the lineup,” said Trembley. “Then I’ll juggle it and put the best lineup I can out there. I like what Nick’s doing in the two-hole, and I like what Melvin’s done with men on base. Melvin’s driven in some big runs for us with men on base. He’s hit very well.”

Just got back from kid's soccer

Did they have to resuscitate Guthrie in the dugout after all these runs scored?

by drj on Jun 7, 2008 2:42 PM EDT   0 recs

The amazing thing

Is that all three outs in this inning were totally tagged. Wilkerson did a lot of backtracking on all of them.

by Brotz13 on Jun 7, 2008 2:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

well this IS one of the best homerun hitting teams in the AL

sounds wierd huh

OK, stupid technical question time:

My MLB.com connection is coming in GREAT for this game. I swear the picture seems sharper and, no question about it, the full screen variant is, for the first time, actually using the full screen, i.e. the whole available image on the laptop.

Any idea WHY? It can’t have anything to do with the CBC feed, can it?

Anyone, anyone, Buhler?

And he's making it look so...easy. You want to ask Why not just *always* do this?

Sort of like watching Bedard pitch some games last year. There’s something about “grooved” pitching and hitters who are “seeing” the ball well that’s similarly…natural. And deceptively easy-looking.

This is what the new MacPhail regine is all about, right? No more trotting Jim Brower and Russ Ortiz out game after game. Right?

by drj on Jun 7, 2008 3:59 PM EDT   0 recs

I know the defense let him down a bit, but this is all Trachsel's fault.

If fucking Sherrill has to pitch in this game Trax should not only be released but possibly beaten as well.

When you can't be trusted

with an eight run lead you are garbage and surely don’t belong in pro baseball.

by Brotz13 on Jun 7, 2008 4:03 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That's a pretty good sign....

When you can only go in game your team is winning by EIGHT and you STILL manage to make the manager sweat…

It’s time for a new career path.
