Gameday Thread: Tigers @ Orioles
Detroit Tigers @ Baltimore Orioles
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?

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.

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 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.

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.

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?

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

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.

he’s a truth teller. After the MDM last year, he went off for a good 20 minutes.

Well, Jim, we’ve actually noticed his learning curve thing, ya know…
You’d think Palmer had been giving him Master Classes, and now he’s Personally Pissed or something.

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.
