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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why

Does the dude from the last place game care if the AL wins homefield advantage? How about the fact a guy from the AL team might be traded to an NL team later on, thereby screwing themselves?

Is he back to the rap stuff?

Sorry, I just fail to see the appeal of most rap music after PE’s “Fear of a Black Planet” except Jay-Z’s “99 Problems,” and that’s just because he has that hard guitar and drum. I blame Eminem and his light piano riff beats for the downfall of rap. And I’m positive the rap community cares about what a white 39- y.o. father of 2 thinks, too. I’m sure of it.
