“so, you know, um … throw strikes?”
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
Hey Blue - eat shit!
Since when is a waist high fastball right down the middle a motherfucking ball you piece of shit!
well, that was a huge 6-5
if we hit today there is a glimmer of hope. a faint glimmer.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
yeah i'm on my way over there too...was going to see how the first inning went.
No point hanging around now.
he's been swinging
at a lotta crappy breaking balls down and away

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
This is why I was rooting for failure earlier in the year
The Orioles aren’t going to compete for anything except being within shouting distance of .500, and now we are going to get stuck with something like the 12th pick overall. No one here needs to tell me that the draft is a crapshoot, but having a top 7 pick significantly improves your chances of striking gold.

As would I
But it isn’t going to be fun when we miss out on yet another prospect this draft. Even this year, we were one pick away from getting a really elite player.

How long is Boston going to stick with Buchhotz?
Not in this game, but this year? Aren’t they kind of in a playoff chase? We gave up on Garret Olson and we aren’t even in a pennant race.

Let's take up a collection for Waters
Because he’s going to be ejected next inning when he retailiates for the Red Sox hitting our man Melvin.
memlo!
heads up, dogg!

Do not piss off The Melvin
when he is in the zone!
Jesus. That was sweet.
Whatever happened to listening to interviews?
Thank goodness I have MLB Game Mix on DirecTV. As much as I’m interested in what Andy M. has to say, it’s nice to be able to watch the Boston feed as one of the eight featured games on the screen. I’ll switch back to MASN once the interview’s over, but why do we have to watch the interview?

Ok, so I checked the score and it was 4-0 in the second
then I just turned on my TV and it’s 10-4, what the hell happened?

Ok...so when I went to the gym they were looking like absolute shit.
This is awesome! I should go to the gym more often during games.
And then not come back evidently since the Red Sox hit HRs when I get back…
Well, you'll be in better shape
and so will the O’s. Get back to working out.

That was Waters' last pitch
ChadBrad, get warm.
Oh, yeah, forgot. He’s with the Bay Rays.
Flat Cap, get warm. Oh, right, he’s on the DL.
Please, God, not Rocky Cherry!
Randor?
please let Castro be okay.
I don’t want to see Brandon Fahey again in Baltimore, unless he bought a ticket.
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
no one.
yet.
Sarfate is warming up, though.
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
if anyone on the team can throw that hard
it’s Dennis. Sure his arm might fall off, but that would be worth it.

Scoring a lot of runs
is delicious payback.

Scoreboard is ALWAYS the best revenge.

ridiculed on ESPN…fuck it..it’s worth it…let’s get this war started
the Rays started one with these assholes last year
and look where it got them.

same pitch on 1-2
still nice.

definitely.
he seems more confident coming out of the pen than he did in any of his starts.
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
This douche should have been punched out on the 0-2 pitch.
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
Great 3-2 pitch. Outside the whole AB and then painted the inside corner.
I think it’s safe to say that Sarfate is much more comfortable pitching in relief.
Probably.
Millar still has a raging hate-on for the Yankees, though, so a night off to get geared up for that is good.

Timlin throws some nasty pitches some times.
Those change ups to Huff and now these sinkers to Montenez are dirty.
Hello
I was babysitting my niece and nephew for a few hours this evening so I got to watch part of the game on my brother in law’s ginormous HDTV. It was pretty sweet. But now I’m home again with my tiny regular tv. It’s so lame.

I don’t know much about that stuff. All I know is the tv in my living room is 25" and his tv makes mine look sooo sad and pathetic.

HDTVs are nice, but I don’t think I’m going to spend $800 on a tv anytime soon.

few things as foul as “cincinatti style” chili. basically ragu meat sauce w/ cinnamon served over spaghetti. one of the more offensive, ill-conceived concoctions i’ve ever had the misfortune to encounter.
