O's 10, Rangers 4: In the words of my generation...
UP YOURS!!!
Bynum with three RBIs, Fahey and Jones with two each, another good start from Guts though his QS was given away by Ryan Bukvich (who needs a ticket to Norfolk post-haste), and everyone except Melvin Mora gets a hit.
Happy 4th, everyone!

Trembley blames Guthrie for "wanting to get the heck through the inning?
Gutrhie was clearly out of gas.
Or...
Coach Trembley, can I pitch instead? I think I’d do better.
Orioles Triumph in Ugly Hats!
Can we wear them til we lose? How much do you wanna bet that someone asked that in the clubhouse?
The return of 2632 should not be deemed in any way responsible for or related to the Ugly Hats. There is such a thing as coincidence.
That we won is not a coincidence. That was planned. We’re, y’know, good.
Finally, this day should also be remembered as The Day Baltimore Declared its Independence from Ryan Bukvich. Either he secedes by midnight or we do.

in 5.1 innings pitched
Bukvich has allowed 9 hits and walked 6, giving him a WHIP of 2.81. This is Aquino/Traschel territory.
at least Trachsel waited until he was 37 to go over 2.00

more like Suckvich
more like We’re-Fuckedvich.
more like if-he-ever-manages-to-get-an-out-it’s-clearly-a-matter-of-Luckvich.

Right, that’s all I got. I realize I’m late to the party and it’s fish in a barrel and all that, but come on. He’s ho-ho-horrible.
Happy fourth, everyone.

My god
I have never felt like a hitter was absolutely, positively going to get a hit against a pitcher as much as I did today when Milton Bradley came up against Ryan Bukvich in the seventh. Man, Milton hits everything. I think he hit a line drive in every one of his at bats today whether they were fair or foul. Josh Hamilton is going to get the MVP votes but my gut tells me Milton Bradley is the hitter I should really fear in that lineup.
Other than Bukvich, the stupid July Fourth hats, and the four innings of light drizzle, it was an awesome day at the ballpark.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I have money on him being DFA'd today.
Seriously, they just can’t keep garbage like that on the team. Too many arms in the pipeline to allow it.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
we should be so fucking lucky...
i still think, even given the dreck in norfolk, there are guys that could do better that wouldn’t be messing w/ any development timelines, but they still seem to stick w/ some guys a little too long for my taste.

In the great Russian tradition of enraged finger pointing, will somebody remind me whose idea Bukvich was?
I mean, I know ML clubs will look at almost anybody, OK? The nature of this sport—in which pitching is traditionally (if fancifully) valued as “two-thirds of the game” and the vulnerability to injury of those who do it is very high—pretty much dictates that the search for pitching talent is like university fundraising: the same campaign goes on 24/7/365, but the names change seasonally to keep up consumer interest.
But when I looked up Bukvich’s stats yesterday, I nearly blew lunch. Who could look at this mess and keep oatmeal down? http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/bukviry01.shtml
So, what I can’t figure out is, Who in the FO (so to speak) said “Hey you guys, we’ve got a chance to sign Ryan Bukvich!” ? And then who on God’s green earth looked at the Bukvich statistical dog’s breakfast and said “Say, I like those numbers! Sign ‘im up!”?

Bynum:
I just can’t imagine Bynum clearing his mind.

Having read the game thread, I have a comment and a question
Comment: Aw, man! I missed my girl 2632! If only I’d known, I would have forgone my 4th of July plans :)
Question: WHO is the Birdland MILF?
