Luke Scott
I say Luke’s gonna keep killing the baseball. When he starts hitting like this…he stays that way for a while…especially in the second half of the season.
Thomas W. Buckner
Just noticed this
Kevin Millar is batting 8th? Not that I think he’s much of a hitter this year but just a few days ago he was in the cleanup spot. That’s funny.

Jesse Litch
looks like he had plenty to eat for lunch today.
"Mora looked pretty good running the bases tonight when he hit that home run," Dave Trembley.
And y'know what-- Litsch kinda LOOKS like Sid! I wonder if he's sober...
"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.
Liz in control! Meanwhile in NY, Sid gets in trouble in the 1st -- but "squeezes" out, like a "235 pounder".
"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.
Whoops, A-Rod dinger puts El Sid up 2-0.
"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.
Liz is "flying open" at the end of his delivery, a sure sign of Daniel Disaster.
"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.
Is Nick awesome or what? They Don't Even Try...
"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.
Whoops, bad call at home against the Yerks (hee-hee) and Sid is tied, 2-2.
"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.
Hey, is that Amber "Enjoy the Crabs" Theoharis?

That was a great play by Melvin.
And hello, everyone.

I’d guess MASN was slow on the update.

i REALLY like where he makes the throat cutting motion and makes the slashing noise.

Love that AJ was blowing a bubble on his way up the line.

we didn’t get the Adam Jones = Don Baylor reference after Adam’s HR

Yerks seem determined to make Sid win, going up 6-2 in the 2nd and getting in the Twinks pen.
"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.
And coming on for the Twinks is-- BOOF BONSER, proud member of the MLB All Name team.

Now getting lit up by the Yerks, alas: 8-2 in the 3rd.

Dear Ramada Liz
Please stop falling behind, because you’re going to give up a long homerun.
Also, you’re not a right guard, get a real number.
whifffff
"Mora looked pretty good running the bases tonight when he hit that home run," Dave Trembley.
Thank you Adam Lind
For swinging at crap.
Any change Liz avoids implosion tonight?
Memlo keeps smokin' 'em...
"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.
I thought he had a good arm...
But since when does he play CF?
that was a postseason-type rundown!

Why don’t you go get some italian ice and rest in the clubhouse?

Nothing like agreeing a thousand percent, eh Jim?

Guys, Sid DOESN'T look "taller and slimmer" in pinstripes tonight...he looks like a pig.
"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.
Albeit a strike-throwing pig. Or maybe a spider-pig. Doing whatever a spider-pig does.

The bases
Are Thorned (loaded)
I really hate pitch-arounds. Because you can easily miss and give up a HR.
And this AB could ASLO be Da Ball Game

I know this gets said a lot
but I love Gary and Jim. I love Jim begging Gary to get him a floppy hat. “Please? Please? Please? Please? I’ll talk to Buck.” “All right I’ll get you one”

Meanwhile, Sid's somehow gotten through a wobbly 5, leads 8-3. Another 1 and 1/3 in him, maybe.
"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.
i'm sorry
was that not the easiest mid game trivia question of all time?
"I’m sure glad he didn’t try to bunt." - DD on Melmo's game winning double, 6/17
Roberto
Clearly should be a HOFer.
Ryne Sanderberg should not have been.
Andre Dawson, somehow, cannot get in. Why I don’t know…
who's robbie go into the HOF for?
if he gets in of course…

memlo’s july numbers are preposterous. i think he’s near a .900 OPS.

Jamie
Is pitching to live batters soon. I think he’d be more effective if they were dead hitters instead.
Yep, that's it for El Sid in NY: 5 and 2/3, 3 ER, stands to win it at 8-3.

Bradford's pretty good
You don’t hear his name much in trade talks, but there isn’t a bullpen in the majors that doesn’t need him.
Sid is *also* brought to you by Jack Daniels whiskey, but without the responsible drinking part.

Or maybe he has…

I don't think DD will do anything.
He probably honestly believes retaliation is not respecting some aspect of the game. I can’t think of an instance where the O’s did retaliate.
we'll get them back when we face them in the playoffs

Dudes...
Where is the McDonald’s commerical with the chick hitting the Coke glasses filled with water?

The new strategy for Liz
is, apparently, to have him walk everyone he can’t get out and then pitch to whoever is left. It seemed to work tonight.
And I want the rest of the team eating whatever Mel Mora has been eating since the All Star break. Jesus. Did someone piss him off? Must be the 11 stranded in the game just before the break.
So, how bad did Liz actually look?
Diamond Dave seemed somewhat pleased with the effort in his post game presser, the first thing I saw when I got home. Gotta love 4 hours swim meets…
