Garrett Olson has pitched okay this year, better than might have been expected, given how heavily the team has relied on him.

Kyle Davies has given up 8 earned runs over his last 7-2/3 innings, after some good starts following his recall from AAA Ottawa Omaha (remember Ottawa?).

The Orioles (43-40) have won 17 of their last 20 games against the Royals (38-47), including a 9-1 record at home while hitting .319 with 12 homers and 61 runs. Baltimore’s lone loss in that span came in Monday’s 6-5, 11-inning defeat, which opened the four-game series.

I'd say more, but there's a guy being arrested across the street, and I'm going to go watch. -zk

Sorry for the formatting

I lack SC’s html skillz, and me and ZK ended up working on it at the same time, without knowing it, so I left him to finish it. I know, too much inside baseball, but that’s why it looks different tonight than past GameDay threads. I’m too ADD to sit down and figure out how to replicate SC’s exact formatting.

That whole Greek thing working for him, you know….short of committing a felony (and even then, it may have to involve firearms or a minor), Nicky’s here to stay.

Tag was there

Throw was just a little late on a play that shouldn’t have even been anywhere near close. Credit Nicky’s arm for even making it a play that needed an umpire’s call.

sounds better now. guess it was the pre-game garble. if anyone gets raycom for acc coverage then we’d be able to argue over what’s worse. raycom or masn. hell, throw fox sports south in the mix and we’ve got three parts of a joe buck voltron.

Did you see DD's presser last night...

where he said he was glad Ramon hit so well, so he didn’t have to answer questions about putting him in cleanup?

It took Garret until the second to give it up, though.

Pressers

Is there anywhere to watch/listen to the pressers in full? Usually Masn cuts away. When Trembley was telling that story the other night about Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese they cut away a bit early. I was kind of disappointed b/c I love hearing random baseball stories.

AND SHIT…

MASNsports.com

Doesn’t give the whole thing, but usually 4-5 minutes, better than what’s available on TV.

I’ll check that out. I feel fortunate to at least to have Masn here in NC on dtv. I’ve read here and many other places about the cable and mlb.com clusterf in the vacation variety land

And that story is on the game page for that game

Here’s the link – I think. Tuesday’s game, right?

Seriously, James Rouse was drawing up his plans

in the 1970s. Schaeffer, despite what I personally think of him, was raising awareness and twisting arms to get tenants into Inner Harbor in the early 1980s. OPACY was one of teh last pieces of the puzzle.

Schaeffer ROCKED in the 80s.

It was after he became governor that he fell down the rabbit hole.

I was going to ask...

if you were from the Eastern Shore. That’s most people’s beef with ‘em.

Salisbury

And no, we never forgave him. The perception was, anything he did for the Shore in terms of roads or construction was done only to get Baltimorons to OC faster, and not for us.

All I'm saying is

Essex is the kind of place where people from Salisbury look at you and say, “Damn, that’s some rednecks there.”

I'd say Essex wins

although I really need to revist Hagerstown and Cumberland to make sure…..and La Plata is sure in the running.

Cumberland is way more redneck than Hagerstown, at least, in my opinion.

Here’s an excerpt from C. Fraser Smith’s book. Use the hand tool to scroll down just a bit on the actual book page…

um, okay.

but in context, it looks like he was working for the eastern shore and then they all voted against him.

i’m sure there’s more to the story.

SHIT. WTF Olson?

If you're the governor...

you probably shouldn’t alienate half your state. I understand the anger, but don’t say it in public.

Unfortunately

we ain’t half. We ain’t even close. Population wise, we’re maybe a tenth.

Definitely

I’d be for teh Shore seceeding and joing the ES of VA and DE to form the state of Delmarva in a heartbeat. Will never happen, though – MD won’t give up OC’s tax base.
