 O's Notes:

  • Brian Roberts currently leads the AL in doubles (38) and triples (8). The last player to lead the AL in those categories in the same season was Minnesota's Cesar Tovar in 1970 with 36 doubles and 13 triples.
  • 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.

So, that's why MelMo is batting third.

.714 BA against Saunders, that’s ridiculous.

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?

Gary has a grim heart of blackness, I think.

He might have been in Burzum or something at one point.

you can force the walk against JJ

he’ll just get you out on the next batter. It’s easier that way.

fahey hit a single

ran to 2nd and would have been out on a good throw. It was 100% luck he wasn’t out.

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.

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.

if the o’s wouldn’t of given up that one run in the 7th inning it would have gone to exras.

millar and payton were amazing last night and i knew payton was going to do somethng in the clutch in that 6th inning.

it was a good game tho to bad we lost

O really, you think your funny well Fukudome!!!
