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.

"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
One would assume
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.

Both

Understandably.
I remember being a pissed off 8 year old in 1989 because of the way that season ended.
I remember being a VERY pissed off 21-year-old that year...

I was a pissed off 22-year old,
and I watched the Jeff Ballard game with Josh Charles in a NY sports bar.
Maier was a kid, so I'd have to go with Cito
but, if you offer up Richie Garcia…. he’d win hands down
Richie Garcia, hands down
Signing fucking AUTOGRAPHS the next day for MFY fans and laughing it up about being COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT at his job. Nice.

Olson's wild pitch in the eighth
with two outs – I still have a scar on my knuckle when I punched the wall in my basement.
There's no crying in baseball
Otter did have a vicious curveball....
Live by the sword, die by the sword, I guess.

On the topic of tonight's game...
Doesn’t Burres need some measure of revenge based on something that I’m pretty sure was just a really bad dream last August?
I think so…
Keys to the Game
1) Matt Albers is still hurt.
2) Maple bats break. A lot.
3) Birdland MILF and Amber = Ratings.
Worked last night.....
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
McCarver and Palmer (with Al Michaels)
was enough for one lifetime.

you know what's wonderful about Red Sox - Yankees game
no matter what happens, somebody is going to lose. I wish it was the Yankees losing though.
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.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
That could happen someday.
My dream world is one where the Yankees and Red Sox go 9-9 against each other, and 0-153 against everyone else.
yeah, I understand that
I’m just want to get the MFY one game behind us because
1) I hate them much more
2) I’ll focus on catching up to PHN afterwards
I hate both equally
basically – I hate both with the power of a thousand undying suns.

That bumble gum bucket had it COMING, I tell ya!

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.

The Norfolk rotation is awesome.

right after I started doing a GIS for Jim Johnson….

“It’s not gonna get the dob jone.”
He couldn’t get through his first paragraph. Couldn’t get one.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
oh god
I’m going to die tonight. Rick will kill me.
“Front office people in Baltimore know (Fahey) is a real baseball player if he can put it all together.”
What fucking planet
I swear to God
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Pretty much
He is GOD AWFUL at color in games. GOD AWFUL. That “Domestically Violate Him” game was brutal, before and after that gaffe.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Chuck and Brooks....
Go to war, Miss Agnes!
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
So...we get 3 Drinks Gary AND
Mr. “Domestically Violate Him?”
Oh, this one is not a game I can watch sober…
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
hey a leadoff double
I’ll fight you, Brian Burres.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
In public?
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Well, you specified it when you called out Andy MacPhail previously...
I just wanted to make sure.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Mark Viviano, huh
I prefer Amber.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
And the drinking starts....
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I walked in and the band just started
the singer couldn’t care a tune in a bucket
Was on a mission to drown her memory but
I thought no way with all this ruckusBut after one round with Jose Cuervo
I caught my boots tapping along with the beat
And After two rounds with Jose Cuervo
The band was sounding pretty darn good to me…
MORE TO COME, I’m sure…
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Rick Dempsey and Mark Viviano?
What did we do to deserve this?
Oh and Burres sucks already.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
Viv doesn't meet your eye candy quota?
Too old, I assume?
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I can't think of one
Baltimore area sportscaster who meets my quota for eye candy. Old white guys don’t really do it for me.
WAIT, did I just see Jay Payton in left? So on top of it all, no Luke?
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
Pickin's are kinda thin for ya, aren't they?
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
You don’t find Dempsey drooling on himself attractive? Fift’ inning. Inningsh.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
He is definitely hittin' Gray's stash
‘cause he’s making Gary sound sober now.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I dunno
There’s that one MASN commercial where the guy can’t pronounce Saltalamacchia (Salt and ham munchies HA HA HA HA) where Dempsey gets tortilla chips all over his face.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
This is gonna be a LONG night
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
So if Josh Hamilton loves Cal so much...
why not come play here?
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
That would work to his ADVANTAGE, remember?
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Does he get out of the 1st?
I vote no.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
SEVENTY RBIs!!!
Seventy RBIs!!! Fuck, Rick, that’s AMAZING. Josh Hamilton has over 80 right now, but Marlon Byrd having SEVENTY all of last year is FUCKING AMAZING
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
I get the feeling he was never all that sharp.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
I wouldn't make him
my lifeline on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”
Not even sure i’d pick him as my classmate on “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?” I’m not sure he is.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
has anyone gotten more out of less than Dempsey?
Major league catcher forever that couldn’t hit a lick except a few games in ‘83, overrated defensively, got to coach in the majors, interviewed for a million managerial jobs, now he’s a totally unqualified broadcaster and will be as long as he wants to be one. What a load.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
I'm thinking, I'm thinking....
John Daly? But he did actually win two majors.
Give me a few minutes….are we restricted to just sports, or specifically baseball?
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
sports
I’m sure there has to be someone, but Dempsey’s gotta be up there.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
I'm having a little trouble, to tell you the truth?
Buster Douglas?
Damn, this is TOUGH…there’s gotta be a coach/manager that qualifies….
Chris Berman?
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Buster had one fight that anyone remembers. Well, OK, two. Holyfield beating his ass was fairly memorable and the real torch passing.
Berman’s a dope.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Berman's a one-trick pony
and been riding’ it since 1980.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Berman's viral video
where he went ballistic is pretty great.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
So, does Berman count as
equaling Dempsey? I think he’s a bit shy of Dempsey-level suckitude.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Burres
Should be named Blowfish.
Marlon Byrd not washing cars is what’s amazing.
What’s a Oreriole, Dumpsey?
now let me tell you something
If Jonny Pops came on right now and took a dump on MASN, how could I disagree at all? This is horrible. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
But, but, but
the home plate cam!
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I'm pretty sure his first name is Brian
and he definitely isn’t anyone’s savior tonight.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
How damn luck
is Burres to get out of that with just 1 run?
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
and ORIOLES MAGIC, baby.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
man
He totally knew how to step it up and get out of that.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
ha ha ha the Cave man is dancing
Hillllllaaaaarrrrrriiiiioooouuuussss. Jazz hands are FUNNY. Oh! Oh!
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
I hit mute EVERY TIME that ad comes on
EVERY TIME.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
alright, Brian
Good start. We’ll have to wax this schmuck.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Please don't
Get caught stealing.
Hell a damn BUNT wouldn’t be bad. You’re going to need all the runs you can get.
Get 'em in, Nicky
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Back in the game, baby
Nicky is hitting the shit out of the ball right now.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
YEAH BABY
NICKY DOUBLE
2-1 O’S
KICK SOME ASS
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Nice, Nicky!
Wow was Jay Payton sexually assaulting Brian Roberts?
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
And sharing medical benefits...
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
whoa
Payton humped Roberts. Then Dempsey said “the Orioles offensive TRAIN.”
Then I took a shot of Wild Turkey.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Two shots
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Nicky's been all over
low and away the last week or so.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
if only Adam Loewen had that problem
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
FINISH A FUCKING SENTENCE, DEMPSEY
It may be a mista-they-I…
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
I'm telling ya, it's gonna be painful all night
And I’m out of vodka already. My 4 inning ration last 3 batters.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Oh, good. Dempsey and Crowley were roommates. Those must’ve been some fun late-night conversations.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Dude, you farted!
Did not!
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Doorknob?
Missed that one…
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
someone farts, you shout doorknob
before they say safety and you can hit them until they get to a doorknob.
the things you learn when in a van with a bunch of dudes is very, um, interesting.
boys are weird
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
No....
as I tell my 9th graders…
Girls are weird.
Boys are STUPID.
Neither changes until about age 30.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I'll remember that
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
sounds like two retarded kids that would
fight over a broken toy
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
Dempsey...
almost makes me miss Jim Hunter.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Dempsey makes me miss the audio feed going out
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Pulle a cable,
pull a cable, dude.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
that'll get a run in
Productive out!
3-1 O’s
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
MelMo with the RBI...
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I gotta admit
the soccer chant is growing on me…
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
It’s from “Ole” by The Bouncing Souls. Probably their best song.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Gotta get that
from Amazon tonight. Screw iTunes. Amazon’s easier to work with.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I’m not a big Bouncing Souls fan so I’ll defer to you.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
I chill in the summer
So I’m more of a My Morning Jacket in the summer sort of cat. Or looser Dylan (New Morning, etc.)
Fleet Foxes are doing it for me this year.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Um, uh, Slayer?
I got nothin’.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I'm introducing my 11 y.o. to Pantera
in dribs and drabs, picking the stuff where Phil doesn’t cuss. Obviously, doesn’t leave much.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Phil Anselmo is a fucking idiot
I like Pantera but it has nothing to do with that moron.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
That's what I told my daughter
He’s a horrible human being, but a great metal singer.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I missed the boat on this band
or, more accurately, never chose to hop on it.
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
Adam Jones, son...
is almost up to .280 – good on ya, son!
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Dr. Jones and Mora need to be flipped in the order
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
I want to take that out of context
“Jones is using (Shelby). He’s really using him.”
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
this is a damn long inning
Er. Was.
Three in! Let’s go, Burres.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
How long was it?
By the first pitch of the 2nd inning, this thread had 203 comments.
That’s how long.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
SALT AND HAM MUNCHIES
HAH AHA AHAHAHAHHAHAHA
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
"Dude, he's got a funny name...."
“Safety!”
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
The NL one for the Nationals
is just as bad with everyone giggling at “Fukudome”
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
I'm not gonna lie
I just went to cavemanscrib.com. I can’t believe someone paid someone else money to create it. And I can’t believe people will actually buy car insurance because of it.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
I switched to Geico
because I thought it was funny
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
hey, alright
He got an out before Duran doubled.
Here come the killers.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
God, I hate that band
Now THERE’S an overhyped bunch of no-talent whiners. Them and The Strokes.
Actually, The Strokes are worse. I take that back.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I like both!
Neither of them whine any more than, like, Smokey Robinson did.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
I guess
Smokey Robinson is old so thus his simplistic ass songs about love and heartbreak and cinammon or whatever the fuck get a pass from critics that would crap on anything new that sounded the same.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
let me say this
I like Smokey Robinson.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
The Strokes
make me have an allergic reaction. I cannot tell you how much I loathe that band. I’ll listen to Miley Cyrus “Girls Night Out – G.N.O.” nstuck on repeat for 3 days in a row without sleep if it meant I never had to hear “Last Nite” again in my life.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
"Last Nite" is not a favorite
Actually outside of “Someday” I didn’t like their first album. The latter two were really good albums.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
both are excellent
The Strokes’ newest album is their best
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
hmmm
I think maybe I like Room on Fire a bit more.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
either way
This is It wasn’t that good. And the best song on it wasn’t even on the US release
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
I'll take your word on it
‘cause if I never hear another note from that band again, I will live a happier life.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Step it up, Brian
Diamond Dave ain’t playing.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
what the fuck

I was listening to Gary interview Dave today on the radio
about what they’re talking about right now. Gary asked if he’d rather put Nick in the 2 or 3 spot and Dave said, “If I had any good right handed hitters I’d put that guy at 2 and NIcky at 3.” I enjoyed how he said they don’t have any good right handers. Although I think AJ will fulfill that need soon enough.

this never works. 70-something pitches – he should have kept burres in.
oh well, i guess we’ll see what happens.
... I'm going to say it.
Trembley’s an idiot. Bad move.
Looked good
his last two outings…
He held the Washington Nationals to one hit and a walk in four innings last Saturday to earn his first career save, and he retired all six Kansas City Royals he faced Thursday night.

I dunno
Kinsler is a hell of a hitter and he played the percentages, and Burres was very much battling. It’s just that Cormier isn’t good.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
given up 2 runs, thrown 70-something pitches..
trembley needs to stop bitching about burres not going 5 or more if he’s going to pull him out in a situation like that. Just my opinion.
anyway, i’m going out for dinner and drinks. hope this game doesn’t turn into a disaster.
let me tell you something
If I ever walk into that jernt and some ecstatic woman runs up and goes WELCOME TO CHILI’S!, I’m leaving.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
All things considered
a relatively successful outing by Burres. And by successful, I mean damn lucky.

DD in today's Sun
Cormier has tossed six scoreless innings over his past two appearances. He held the Washington Nationals to one hit and a walk in four innings last Saturday to earn his first career save, and he retired all six Kansas City Royals he faced Thursday night.“I felt like I was overthrowing the times before, so I backed my stride off, which allowed me to get out in front of the ball and allowed me to command the fastball, which wasn’t there,” said Cormier, who hasn’t given up a run in seven of his past eight games. “That allowed me to find a better rhythm.”
Trembley said Cormier has become more effective because the right-hander has tightened his breaking ball.
“He’s shown the ability to throw his breaking ball to both right- and left-handed hitters for called strikes, and he has used his fastball to pitch down in the zone,” Trembley said.
“I’m looking for somebody to step up to the plate and take the place of [Matt] Albers. I was kind of hoping we would have our starters in a position where I wouldn’t need that type of a guy so often, but if so be, I don’t have a problem with Cormier.”
Well, I do now.

Tanqueray Vodka is excellent for the price.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Didn't see it at the colunty liquor store
when I made my run. We still have a dispensary system in Wicomico County – 2 stores to buy liquor for the whole county.
I liked the Tanqueray, but face it, as much OJ as I mix it with, I could probably buy Smirnoff in the plastic bottle and not notice a difference.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Reckon I’d put Tanqueray a hair above Smirnoff, which is a fine enough vodka, especially at $11.95/fifth.
What I hate is how much more money I have to spend on bourbon to get a decent drink as compared to vodka. $17.98 for Wild fucking Turkey for God’s sake. $24.95 for Maker’s Mark. Come on.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
I just get a 750ml

Ahem, take notes, gentlemen: I. American Eagle. 2. Jeneric Jack's 3. Whoneedz Rocks
Truth to tell, while I don’t actually drink a lot of vodka (for somebody who lives in Moscow), when I do drink it, I go with
1. Absolut (Citron)
2. Absolut (Currant)
3. Whatever the special is at my local 7 Continents (of the grain vodkas)
Russians will drink anything, of course, including airplane windshield de-icer; but given their drutthers, a lot of them actually go with foreign vodkas (although seldom Polish)—including American Eagle, I sh#t you not.
Also, on another front, go freakin’ figure: there are dozens of good European beers available in Moscow now, including Czech beers (both imported and made under license in Russia). And yet somehow Miller also has a not inconsiderable market share, with their crappy generic goes-with-pizza-only, lowest-common-denominator beer.

His new name should simply be Jolly Rancher, because he deserves to bring the pink backpack full of candy for the pen.
I seriously wish I knew where you were going with this....
becaus it has some serious humor potential. But I’m just not following.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
On
MLB teams, the least experienced guy in the bullpen is responsible for bringing the in-game snacks (normally candy) for the bullpen. To further embarass the player normally the bullpen rookie (who actually would be Aquino now), most teams will make them carry the snacks in a pink kid’s backpack.
Hence the only job he’s suitable to do in a bullpen is to bring the candy.
yeah
Poor old Steve Reed had to carry the candy bag in ‘05. Of course he pitched like a little girl so I guess it made some sense.

Just Got Home
I checked the score at work and we were up 3-2 and then I checked later and it said we lost 5-3. Needless to say when I found that out the rest of my night didn’t go to well.
Hopefully we can bounce back tomorrow and win the series. I’ll talk to yall tomorrow. Good Night from the Big Easy! GEAUX EAUX’s!
