- Nick Markakis is having his best season in the big leagues against left handed pitchers. He's hitting .317 with a .963 OPS.
- Matt Wieters Update: He's batting .345 (29-for-84) with six doubles, 4 home runs, and 27 RBI's in 26 games for the Baysox. And of course we all heard about his pinch hit grand slam earlier this week.
- Adam Jones is on fire. He's hit in 19 of his last 23 games, going 32-for-90 (.356) with two doubles, three triples, two home runs and 15 RBI's.

Shouldn’t he?

So, that's why MelMo is batting third.
.714 BA against Saunders, that’s ridiculous.

Here we go
I’ve got a six pack of beer and some pizza in the oven. Time for some baseball. Love the black jerseys.

They’ve gotta be my favorite jerseys next to the white throw backs that we wore the other night.

I really like Vlad
not when he’s batting against the O’s, though

Brian Burres + Angels = bad for the O's
"There is a value to breaking the string of losing seasons as an organization or as a franchise. But breaking that streak can’t come at the expense of doing what you need to do to get your franchise to the point where it can reach the postseason." ~Andy MacPhail
nice catch by the fan in the stands
one handed grab.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
what does Brian have to do to get a hit?
It seems like he hits it hard every time, but right into someone’s glove.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
it looked like a hit off the bat
but it just died
"There is a value to breaking the string of losing seasons as an organization or as a franchise. But breaking that streak can’t come at the expense of doing what you need to do to get your franchise to the point where it can reach the postseason." ~Andy MacPhail
Adam Jones back down at 6th?
I thought he was doing pretty well in the 2 hole.
"There is a value to breaking the string of losing seasons as an organization or as a franchise. But breaking that streak can’t come at the expense of doing what you need to do to get your franchise to the point where it can reach the postseason." ~Andy MacPhail
Brian Burres is not good

sweet Jesus, that ball was crushed.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
Sarfate on already?
I guess it’s audition time for the starting rotation.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
What is the answer to these starting pitching woes? Do we just suck it up until our youngsters in the minors are ready? Is there anyone in the minors who can outperform our current starters? Should we trade for even more pitching?
"There is a value to breaking the string of losing seasons as an organization or as a franchise. But breaking that streak can’t come at the expense of doing what you need to do to get your franchise to the point where it can reach the postseason." ~Andy MacPhail
Jeremy Guthrie starts every game for the rest of the year.
And we pray his arm doesn’t fall off.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
Is there anyone in the minors who can outperform our current starters?
Probably wouldn’t get much worse.

"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
I tune in
And Millar goes deep.
WE WILL WIN THIS GAME
It worked in Seattle when I was late, we were down big, and a Payton homer was the first thing I saw.
WE WILL WIN
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum

When Sarfate isn't walking every batter
he’s pretty good

Buck and Gary are a pain in the ass.

Where's the inspiration to play
when your children’s children are already taken care of? What is the world coming to?

I'd go with winning.
And wanting my children’s children’s children’s children taken care of…
That would be enough motivation for me.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
to sum up
No good player before the modern day was ever an asshole that showed up late, showed up drunk, didn’t always dedicate himself to everything.

but I’m not feeling too optimistic

Holy crap, Ramon made a good throw to second.
It didn’t go into centerfield or anything.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
hope you enjoyed it
because we probably won’t see it again for awhile
"There is a value to breaking the string of losing seasons as an organization or as a franchise. But breaking that streak can’t come at the expense of doing what you need to do to get your franchise to the point where it can reach the postseason." ~Andy MacPhail
Sarfate has pitched a hell of 3 1/3 innings
"There is a value to breaking the string of losing seasons as an organization or as a franchise. But breaking that streak can’t come at the expense of doing what you need to do to get your franchise to the point where it can reach the postseason." ~Andy MacPhail
If he goes 5, does DD make him a starter?
At this point, I’d give anyone a shot.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
just got in
Sarfate is far more talented than Brian Burres.
It’s good to see that he seems to have got his stuff back.
maybe his kid is finally sleeping through the night.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
He looks all right tonight
"There is a value to breaking the string of losing seasons as an organization or as a franchise. But breaking that streak can’t come at the expense of doing what you need to do to get your franchise to the point where it can reach the postseason." ~Andy MacPhail
he had a pretty good inning there.
And I’d say getting out of independent league hell and pitching for a real live MLB team, even if it is the Orioles has to be some sort of success.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
why delay the inevitable?
"There is a value to breaking the string of losing seasons as an organization or as a franchise. But breaking that streak can’t come at the expense of doing what you need to do to get your franchise to the point where it can reach the postseason." ~Andy MacPhail
most of those were to Nick, right?

damn, Joe Saunders is from Springfield, VA
My hometown. I wonder if he went to my high school.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
according to wikipedia
he went to West Springfield High School

the Yankees landed Nady and Marte
from the Bucs, I’m going to have to start hating the X-man now.

no joke.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
so far the relievers have really stepped up
so…that’s something
"There is a value to breaking the string of losing seasons as an organization or as a franchise. But breaking that streak can’t come at the expense of doing what you need to do to get your franchise to the point where it can reach the postseason." ~Andy MacPhail
good to only need 3 relievers to make it through the game.
We really need a good game out of Liz tomorrow however.
and drive it to the gap for a double.
that’ll do.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
Jay Payton delivers!
"There is a value to breaking the string of losing seasons as an organization or as a franchise. But breaking that streak can’t come at the expense of doing what you need to do to get your franchise to the point where it can reach the postseason." ~Andy MacPhail

Strike three?
Dear dickbag umpires,
The strikezone includes home plate and the black around the edges, it does not include the white line of the opposite batters box.
Thank you.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08

looks like mostly fastballs so far

3 pitches to Jones have all been 91 mph fastballs

Wow - when he pitched against the Red Sox last week it was like 90% curves.
And Jones is supposedly a bad breaking ball hitter…
I might have missed one or two
but it looks like he’s only thrown fastballs

The O's sure seem to be doing this a lot this year.
Losing the whole game and then making it just close enough to be interesting and get your hopes up and then choking.
He might throw Burress under an actual bus after tonight.

Just switched to the MFY PHN game
Bottom of the 8th
2 outs
runners on 1st and 2nd
Pedroia at bat
Mo on the Bump

I'm praying for a comet to strike Fenway.
Much like I do every night the SAWX are at home, and especially when they’re playing the MFY.
