PrintDetroit Tigers at Baltimore Orioles, Jul 17, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
7:05 :: MASN :: 90° SE 5 MPH :: Rain: 10%
Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L Kenny Rogers - LH - #37 19 114.2 4.55 1.52 .293 11 45 44 6-6 Garrett Olson - LH - #18 14 73.1 5.65 1.57 .287 9 30 47 6-4
Kenny Rogers is 43 years old. Garrett Olson is 24. When Rogers was sneaking beers and partying down with JuCo co-eds, Olson was eating smushed peas. When Rogers was getting bombed in the '96 playoffs, Olson was...I dunno, probably watching that on TV.
One man is old.
The other man is young.
In one locker, there is Rogaine.
In the other, a PSP.
Who figured there would be a 1.5 game difference between the Tigers and Orioles on July 17?

One man has balls
the other, not so much.
There should be a pool on when Olson’s meltdown du jour happens.
Maybe Garrett could learn how to throw a greaseball.
That might help him the same way it’s helped Kenny over the years.

Not me, fo sure. Plus we have a better farm system. They do have that Miguel Cabrera fella, though.

Sadly, Fahey is our best option right now.
Cintron will be back in a week or so, I think.

For three prospects. Interesting.
wow, Garrett, I didn't know you had that in you.

He usually doesn't start to fall apart until the second time through the order
This is not good. I feel Loewen coming on, say, in the third.
Yeah

He is.
Unless he had some miraculous recovery from his elbow being made of glass over the last 3 days.

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.

they did it for the Nats, too.
someone at MASN is in love with that shot.

What
is with the worthless camera angle from behind the plate where you can’t see a damn thing??? Why are they sticking with this?
I'm thinking about it.

Rogers is throwing BP
Well, it’s not like you don’t know what he’s going to throw.
well, you don't know if it's vaseline
or the off-brand.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
This just in...
The entire tail end of the O’s order is now within 6 points of .240!
If that’s not consistency, I don’t know what is.
Way to make it through the fifth, Garrett.

Orioles Magic DVD
Gotta give the marketing folks an A for effort. In the pre-internet days, that would have been huge!
I know I'm way behind in noticing this, but
I am so glad that Jones is batting 2nd now. Makes me feel all good inside to have him and Markakis back to back.
so...
anyone see the dude in the crowd w/ the chef’s hat? huh?

if that ball is a couple feet either way, it's an easy out.

I was all set t grudgingly give M-K credit
for the QS, but no. It was not meant to be.
Bull-fucking-shit
That was a foul ball, asshole.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
I don't think it was foul.
The calls are one thing…
It’s the TERRIBLE baserunning that’s another.
It’s like a JV team.
Umpires hate the Orioles.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
FUCK.
That was some bullshit.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
Can the Orioles protest this game, based on shitty umpiring?
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
Where was Diamond Dave on this one?
Has he figured out that he’s completely screwed by the umpiring so he may as well keep his seat?

this game will never be called a pitchers duel.
Rogers looked terrible. (Olsen looked worse. ) Lets kisck some bullpen ass.
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
That sucks
GIDP. It would be ok if the real Nicky showed up about now.
They've called JD Drew to fly in and pitch if the game goes into the 16th

Notice what a difference a quality catcher makes?
Nobody runs on Pudge.
That was a hell of a catch, Jay.

Well, the good news is...
Sherrill will get that extra day of rest after his 2-1/3 at the ASG. His services are not required here.
Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke with the 2B
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
Brian Bob reaches on an error.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
and Bynum in to run for Luuuke.
I guess he’s a little bit faster, though I’d try Luke at SS if necessary.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
i'm not thrilled w/ that call
what not leave luke in?
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
Speed, I think.
Freddy is really fast.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
dang it.
I wish Millar could run faster than an octogenarian with bad knees.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
Wait, wait, wait...
If Roberts scored before Millar got tagged, wouldn’t it count? Surely he must have scored first, no?
So I guess this is the pattern for the second half
14 hits is not enough… Facing a washed-up fraud like Kenny Rogers is not enough… We still lose on bad baserunning, runners LOB and porous pitching. Now we give back all the one-run miracles from the first half with equally miraculous one run losses in the second.
OK, Andy, I’m ready—do what you must, just give me a swig of rotgut and a stick to bite on.
Well, I watched on TV and couldn't get to a computer
I had low expectations today, so I wasn’t dissapointed. Sure, we lost, and a win would have been awesome, but I actually like the Tigers a lot (a close friend is a Tigers fan), and If I chose a team to lose to, it would definitely be the Tigers.
Plus Garret Olson did go 6 sucky innings, which is still better than 4 sucky innings., now if the suckiness would just go away.
If Melvin Mora and Luke Scott start hitting again, this offense could be fun to watch.
If we overperformed we’d run the risk of not getting anyone traded, and none of us want that. Instead our players played well and lost. I was entertained for the duration of the baseball game (except for Leyland pulling 2 pitchers in the same inning for no frickin reason, there’s a special place in hell for people who do that)
i wouldn't hold my breath...
on mora. scott should bust out soon, though.
