PrintDetroit Tigers at Baltimore Orioles, Jul 19, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Let's all hope Good Danny shows up. Come on Danny, zknower has faith in you! Why Melvin Mora is batting third is beyond me. Probably his playoff experience combined with the off the top of the foul pole HR made it impossible to leave him in the 7 hole.
I'm heading out to the game in just a few minutes so any mods who want to gussy up this game thread have at it.
Let's Go O's!

Uh, yeah. 4-0 in the 1st off Bad Daniel Sh*t.

Palmer: "Well, everything starts over." Somebody's got to go out and talk to him. 6-0. Started over?

How little did we know
just how right Palmer was…

Thanks for waiting til we're down
6-0 to go talk to Danny, Ramon. It’s not like Danny’s a little fragile or anything.

Danny
Single, double, HBP, sac fly. Followed by a 3-R HR. And a walk. Aaaaand another HR.

I don't suppose...
the HBP was I-Rod, was it?

hey! just got here!
I hope this will be another “come-from-behind” victory for the Orioles…
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
I go to Walmart to get some milk and paint supplies. I walk in at just before 1st pitch. I come out at 7:23, and my radio says
DET 6 BAL 0
What the hell did Danny do? Hit the first 2 and allow a HR, then walk the next 2 an another HR?

i'm actually excited to see loewen hit..
i had given up on him as a pitcher. But Loewen wasn’t really a power hitter was he?
HA!
palmer re: loewen
“i mean, finding the plate wasn’t the problem w/ adam…”
uh, fer real, j-dog?
sheesh.
foghat goes with everything--birdman, 5/16/08
well, it's true..
he could find the plate.. the problem is that the opponent’s bats found his pitch before it reached the plate most of the time
Oh, he could find it
Usually center of it, belt-high

I really suspect we saw Danny's peak with his run earlier this season
We’ve been waiting years to see the guy develop a second pitch.
Yeah, I’m down on him, but I’m not even buying into him being a decent inning eater.
Man.. I can't believe how natural Adam Jones looks on the field..
He’s going to be an awesome CFer
So I suppose
all fastballs, all the time isn’t working any more? It was a nice 5 weeks while it lasted, Danny…
"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 number of things that Cabrera hasn't learned in the last 5 years is really incredible.
How to field his position.
How to hold on runners.
How to throw strikes.
i can't get over how huge placido polanco's head is.
it’s enormous.
Key-rist, Fahey had about an hour and a half to throw him out.Polanco can pick 'em up
but he can’t lay ‘em down, or what?
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
Wait, not Polanco, other guy.
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
huge improvement for cabrera.
only 1 run this inning!!!
So, Danny's still out there, huh?
Taking one for the team. Although he totally deserves this.
"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 absolutely.. that son of a bitch needs to at least eat up 5 innings
8IP for the bullpen is unreasonable
With luck, this will devolve into the 11-9 game it's threatening to be. We could be the 11. too.
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.

Anyone know...
who’s on the radio with Joe Angel? Is that Mark Viviano? Sounds like it.
"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, local sportscaster
Broke the story about the Browns coming to Baltimore more than a decade ago, nothing of note since.
"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 NO IDEA who's with Joe
I thought it was Mark Viv, but it’s not. Joe hasn’t said the guy’s name in the 15 minutes I’ve listened.

Viviano is doing the sideline reporting.
And being not as hot as Amber, per usual.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
So I have no idea who's on the radio
Joe hasn’t said his name once. It’s not Dave Johnson, who did either Thursday’s or Friday’s game. All I know is, he’s talking WAY too much.
"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 like Dave Johnson
he’s a truth teller. After the MDM last year, he went off for a good 20 minutes.

Impeach Daniel Cabrera!
If not now, when?
I am officially done with Daniel Cabrera.
Let another team take him on as a project, like Manute Bol.

Tremblay should yank Danny
when he’s one strike shy of completing 5 innings. So he doesn’t stand any chance of getting the win in this game.
He does not deserve this win.
But god DAMN, go Melmo. What has happened to Melmo in since the All Star game? Is he on steroids. He has never hit this well, even when he was good, like, four years ago.
Deserve's got nuthin to do with it...
JUST GET THE WIN!

Re-read what I said. He said 11-9 was a likely final score and that we should just root for us to have 11.
He didn’t say we WOULD have 11.
Sober, unfortunately

That's tragne but true...
we may well rue pulling Danny after giving up 7 in 5 innings….(it was 5, right?)

Hey, if he's gonna throw it 99 in the zone
Might as well try and win it on 1 swing

He will
Did I notice a little bit of swagger after he hit that one? Kind of stood and admired his handiwork for a moment. As he should.
That ball was demolished.

It is really freaky
How someone predicted this score about four hours ago.
Was it you, Titov?
If so, what’s the score going to be tomorrow? I really don’t think I can stand any more suspense like this.
Thank you, thank you! No, please, hold the applause while I slide into home a la Luke.
Actually, I called 11-9 back in the 2nd inning, but changed to 11-10 when that became impossibile.

CLOSE...
With luck, this will devolve into the 11-9 game it’s threatening to be. We could be the 11. too.

"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
I had a feeling
he was gonna crush one. 3DG had just said something about the dude’s numbers against lefties, and when Luke took that swing, there was no doubt. Gary was yelling “BALL GAME” as soon as it came off his bat.
Roch said it went 420. It looked like it hit about 1/3 of the way onto Eutaw. And for everyone who’s stood out there and looked back to home plate, you know: Damn. That ball was crushed.

Oh yeah I said to my dad
“Wouldn’t it be nice if Luke parked one on Eutaw Street right now and ended this thing?” and the words were barely out of my mouth when he hit it. And the slide was awesome.

at about 1 p.m. tomorrow, OK?

Maybe a new thread
I’m out of the country and just have gameday + this thread and it’s taking a while to load.
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
Well, not now
Game’s over. But I’ll talk with SC about what comment level should trigger us doing a new thread.

Yeah that is what I meant
Because when Luke hit that homer my computer just said no.

A computer should never say "NO"
to an Orioles’ home run.
My computer is programmed to say “YES,” to all Orioles homeruns. In fact, my computer says “YES” to any ORIOLES base hit.
Hell yes
Went to work and it was 7-2, I got in the car and it was 10-10.
And then I heard LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKEEEE.
Hells yes.

I was in attendance tonight
And it was pretty damn cool. When Luke made contact there was silence…until it landed.
Amazing game. And an amazing throw by Jones.
