Baltimore Orioles @ Toronto Blue Jays


7:07 :: MASN :: Dome.

Yaz9eqvl_medium Ik9ywuum_medium

  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.

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?

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 reply reply actions actions   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.

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.

Dempsey DOES make a good point

Ramon’s poor throw will lead to at least 5-7 more pitches and additional opportunities for the BJs. Danny doesn’t need any more pitches…

Given a (more or less) normal selection procedure, Nick would be on the All Star team, of course.

He wouldn’t be voted onto the first team, but the manager would pick him (or the players would) as a reserve with his hitting and fielding record—and the necessity of having one rep from each club.

I mean good for Shutdown and everything. This is probably his Wayne Gross Memorial Half-Season Anomaly year, and he’ll never see the like again. But cripes, Nick deserves to be on the team, c’mon.

I personally think Roberts deserves it more than Nicky does.

Nicky is having a good year, but not really great in any category except

next year, I see Nick and Adam in the All-Star game.

Well, if Adam keeps hitting like he’s been doing lately.

More on Loewen
The CT scan, Trembley said, showed “a widening” of the original injury.

“The (previous) stress fracture was such that it was a split and they put a screw in it to hold it together, right?” Trembley said. “Well, I think the CT scan … showed that space there again. It’s a re-injury of the original stress fracture.”

He'll have to pass through waivers to get sent to the minors

And of course, there’s like a 1000-1 chance of him ever being a major league hitter.

'Tis true...

can’t we call it an injury rehab? Just a nice, 3-year injury rehab?

He can throw from the field with what he's got.

You can throw from the field with most of the arm injuries that pitchers get.

Adam, we hardly knew ye.

But that was enough.

He probably lived in Memlo Park for a while, and that started it.
