@ Baltimore Orioles

Tuesday, Jul 22, 2008, 7:05 PM EDT
Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Shaun Marcum (5-4, 2.65)

vs

Garrett Olson  (6-5, 5.79)

Partly cloudy.

Winds blowing out to right field

at 5-10 m.p.h.

Game Time temperature: Around 90.

Now, Marcum's numbers look great. But, according to Yahoo! Sports, he's on a short leash tonight:

Shaun Marcum (5-4, 2.65 ERA) makes his first start in over a month for the Blue Jays on Tuesday. The right-hander felt pain in his elbow after a start against Milwaukee on June 18 and was placed on the 15-day disabled list three days later. He was determined to be suffering from strained ligaments around his elbow and forearm, an assessment later confirmed by arm specialist Dr. James Andrews.

"I couldn’t even wash my hair when I came out that day in Milwaukee," Marcum told the team’s official Web site. "From there to what it is now, it’s almost like a 100 percent turnaround. My arm feels good and I’m glad to be back here."

Marcum, who will be limited to 65-70 pitches, was having a strong season before the injury. He had allowed two earned runs or fewer in 11 of 15 starts while holding opponents to a .198 batting average.

Eckstein is the DH for the Jays tonight.

That’s a strange choice.

Menchie!

Is it wrong to root (casually) for a guy that went to your alma mater?

I root for all the guys in the pros that I played with or against

regardless of what team they are on (except maybe the MFYs)...

Another one

Joe Flacco….

I want him to play and get a chance, but I also don’t want him to be completely thrown to the wolves….

MelMo just saved your rear, Garrett.

You should probably buy all of his kids new shoes for that.

I notice you're in Philly.

Sorry to read that….

Phillies and Eagles “fans” are amazing, aren’t they?

I was down

In Delaware (obviously) and it was the same way. They’d all wear Eagles jerseys to classes.

One professor, in the middle of the lecture goes “Why the F did McNabb have to break his knee” We’d also get out of class early for MNF.

Philly's great

You always know where they stand. You know they are going to be pissed off and probably don’t care for you much.

You get that mostly just from college kids

They really need to expand Rutgers so Jersey can stop exporting all their college kids.

Philly's got it's share as well.

Just talk to the guys working at Pat’s/Gino’s or on South Street. Almost indistinguishable from South Jersey.

by O'sFan21 on Jul 22, 2008 8:19 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't have a problem with South Jersey

It’s the guys from central to north Jersey that annoy the hell out of me; South Jersey is mostly farms.

Don’t go to Pats/Gino’s that much, so can’t really speak for that.

I would

Never ever ever go to Pat’s or Gino’s.

But that’s just me. I was always a fan of Leo’s in Folcroft.

Pat's is great drunk food.

Other than that nothing special.

Ugh Folcroft

I think the best steaks are in Roxborough: Barry’s, Delesandros, and Chubbys.

South Philly wise, Tony Luke is pretty good stuff.

Mellie is playing angry, and I like it.

Mr. Scott is armed

Yeah

I have two arms, as well.

That was a terrible joke, and I apologize.

Dude's dad was a carpenter

Probablu spent his whole youth (and up to age 30) lugging around roug-hewn 4X4s. I’m bettin’ He had a pretty good arm, personally.

checking in

And things aren’t looking bad around here. True, a mere 4 run lead isn’t much for Mary-Kate, as he is busy showing us right now, but this is one teamwhose bullpen is just as stressed than ours, so it’s all good, right?

by fishoutawata on Jul 22, 2008 8:14 PM EDT   0 recs

That assumes

they have the ability to conistsently throw it there on purpose.

dr. jones and nikos credit him w/ their awesomeness!

even if it’s silly to say that b/c they’re both such awesome athletes and have probably just figured things out on their own…

Since you seem to rag on Mary-Kate so much, why don’t you go and actually try to help him?

he would have been out of the inning...

if someone had thrown to second instead of third.

Geez, I can see that O’sFan21 has some serious anger-management issues. You should know that there are medications that can help people like you!

by Birds Man of Bethesda on Jul 22, 2008 8:49 PM EDT   0 recs

If it's the 5th inning, it must be time for a 5-spot

if Mary-Kate is the starter. It’s like clockwork—no reason for surprise.

Good evening

Just got home from Thirsty Dog Dog Pub. Wing Dog Pizza is the best thing ever.
