Baltimore Orioles @ Toronto Blue Jays


7:07 :: MASN :: Dome.

  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L
Daniel Cabrera - RH - #40 18 118.1 4.34 1.36 .257 15 47 66 6-4
Dustin McGowan - RH - #29 18 107.1 4.36 1.38 .273 8 37 83 6-7

McGowan is not only a pretty fine young pitcher, but he's leading the charge to bring mutton chops back into baseball fashion. Good for you, dude.

Cabrera is 4-7, 4.39/1.43 all-time against the Jays, and 1-3, 5.35/1.47 at the big ugly park I refuse to not call the SkyDome.

Guess who's coming to dinner?

To Daniel Cabrera...

Look, I’ve got you on my fantasy team, you did well by me earlier this year when you reeled off that streak of quality starts, and this last time out with the complete game, that was beautiful, but I need you to step it up more, if you have to pretend the Jays are the Royals, feel free, it’ll make this a lot better for all of us.

p.s. If you’re going to uncork a ball in someone’s ear, make it Gaston’s, even if he’s on the bench over there.

Loewen to DL

http://baltimore.orioles.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20080708&content_id=3091567&vkey=pr_bal&fext=.jsp&c_id=bal

No surprise there.

Apparently he has a “re-injury of the stress fracture in his left elbow.”

That doesn’t sound good given that he had surgery on the fracture, a screw inserted, and a year to heal. I’m no doctor, but my pessimistic read of this is that Loewen may never throw a pitch again.

FUCK CITO!

I bet it’s his fault!

YES!

CITO STILL SUCKS!

Doesn’t matter why. He just sucks. As long as you know that, you’re fine.

And BTW, he embarrassed a then-Orioles pitcher in an exhibition game. It doesn’t matter that about 10 years ago that pitcher decided to take more money from another team we hate. So we hate HIM now, too, but we hate Cito MORE for embarrassing him BEFORE we hated him.

Got it?

I'm equal on the two of them, actually

Well, he is NOW

But not then. Try and keep up. :)

just cleaned out their farm system in trade for rich harden.

Here's the Deal

Cubs Get:
Rich Harden-RHP
Chad Gaudin-RHP

A’s Get:
Sean Gallagher-RHP
Matt Murton-OF
Eric Patterson-IF
Josh Donaldson-C

and chad gaudin!

The Cubs held onto Vitters. I would trust Harden to stay healthy but the Cubs gave up one potentially good starter and then a bunch fo spare parts.

Wolf, wolf, wolf.

by birdman on Jul 8, 2008 7:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

that's, I wouldn't trust Harden to stay healthy

In any case, I think the Cubs took a decent gamble. They didn’t give up much and the benefits could be huge.

Wolf, wolf, wolf.

by birdman on Jul 8, 2008 7:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Harden's a Cub now

He’s not GOING to stay healthy.

Dusty's not there anymore, though.

At least he won’t be pitching 8,000 innings like prior and wood did…

Loewen's CT scan

Bone has split around the screw. Not good. He’s seeing Dr. Andrews again.

Not good, gang. Not good.

Slightly OT

But Rick Maese has some fun showing us just how stupid Joe Morgan is.

Don’t be drinkin’ any liquids when you read what Joe wrote. It’ll come out your nose.

I say, yes, yes he is.

by getxstoked on Jul 8, 2008 7:13 PM EDT   0 recs

And to my non-expert eyes

that didn’t even look like that good a swing by Huff. NO uplift at all, completely flat, and looked like he pulled a little. And that ball was still launched.

10 second delay

CBS has it on all live events. And since the “home” station of the O’s network is a CBS station, you’ll be 10 seconds behind the action. Tom Davis was asked about it on his radio show, and I happened to catch the answer on MASN this weekend. He seemed to think it was pretty stupid, too.
