Gameday Thread: Rangers (44-43) @ O's (44-41)
Texas Rangers at Baltimore Orioles, Jul 5, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
7:05 :: MASN2 :: 79° E 5 MPH :: Rain: 50%
Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L Scott Feldman - RH - #39 12 (14) 78.0 4.38 1.29 .251 10 27 39 2-3 Brian Burres - LH - #56 15 (17) 86.2 5.09 1.55 .299 12 30 42 6-5
I bet today's the day that Burres starts exercising the knowledge of how to "step it up." Standing in his way is Scott Feldman, a man whose skin is touched by the sun and giving it the appearance of porcelain. Also, he has a little kid bully movie name.

Especially with the day off Monday before the Blow Jays series. Although, why not sit him tomorrow and get him 2 days off for the price of 1?
And I’m warnin’ y’all now, I’m gonna be dog-shit crazy over the Blow Jays series. I gots me some SERIOUS Cito hatred built up.

Why?
I’m rotting for the MFY this weekend, since every loss sends the PHN further away from 1st and closer to us. If we win, we stay with the MFY even if they win. If PHN wins, they stay ahead of us.
If PHN loses to the MFY, we stay ahead of MFY and gain ground on PHN. Until MLB changes the rules so both can lose, I’ll be a reluctant MFY rooter this weekend, hoping the O’s sweep.

From Roch
Randor Bierd has reported to Double-A Bowie and is scheduled to throw two innings tomorrow as part of his injury rehab assignment.Bierd will appear in five games with the Baysox through July 17th before the Orioles re-evaluate him.
Down on the farm, Single-A Frederick’s Billy Rowell came within a triple of hitting for the cycle. His fourth home run was a tremendous shot to center field. Brandon Snyder and Chris Vinyard also homered, and Jake Arrieta struck out 10 in five innings.

Dempsey’s impressed with Quiroz’s mechanics throwing the ball. Of course, Dempsey couldn’t throw.

My roommate
is regularly buying a fresh bottle of gin to replensish the stocks for her G&T. But besides that we’re pretty much beer and wine gals.

I’d go with the first 30 seconds of “Days of Revenge” by Ramallah
or the last 48 seconds of Hatebreed’s “Doomsayer”

OK....
I’d go with Glen Campbell’s “I Love My Truck.”
