I miss Gary and Jim (a game thread)

PrintI'm watching the O's-Yanks game on New York TV, listening to a team that I think must be Michael Kay and Ken Singleton, and it's really surreal. I don't like it. This is the first game I've watched since I moved to New York three weeks ago. It's strange listening to other announcers.
I'd even take Jim Hunter and Rick Dempsey. Well, maybe not. But I would love to hear Gary & Co.
Michale Kay just said Mussina is going to get Cy Young votes. Which is dumb. dumb. dumb. dumb.
pretty steal.
ed. note - use this as the game thread, since y'all were anyway. Crafty people, you bunch. -duck

Is this the game thread?
Does Cano have even worse range than Jeter?
Tied up 1-1.
Cano
stinks in the field, why do they play their best defensive middle infielder at third?
by Reddrummer9187 on Aug 22, 2008 7:33 PM EDT up reply actions
YES
Michael Kay is annoying, but I kinda like games against the Yankees because they are the only ones I get in HD.
I guess Mussina might get some Cy Young votes from some truly stupid sportswriters, but he certainly won’t deserve them.
Ooo
HD, I forgot. And Cliff Lee and K-Rod will make sure Mussina gets nowhere close to the Cy Young.

Nice K by Liz
He’s looked decent so far, but I have an ominous feeling that the wheels will come off.
I have faith in Liz
he has great stuff, so he doesn’t have to be perfect
by Reddrummer9187 on Aug 22, 2008 7:36 PM EDT up reply actions
but that being said
he can be pretty darn awful
by Reddrummer9187 on Aug 22, 2008 7:37 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm not asking for perfect
How about competent?
A lot of his wild pitches
look like he should have caught

Gotta love it
Michael Kay: Here’s Juan Castro..

Nice job by the fans

I know its not the first time, but it doesnt get old for me
Nicky makes my heart beat a little faster
There’s no play I like more than an outfielder throwing a guy out.
If Roberts had been in position
He wouldn’t have needed Giambi to slide like a beached whale.
Garret's getting slapped around a bit in AAA
Dude has issues.

nice catch by mussina. pure reflex.
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
Let's play "Name That 'Tard?"
During pregame conversation, this quote was uddered (regarding Mike Mussina’s 250 wins and Hall of Fame worthiness, that kind of stuff):
“If he’d stayed here he might be approaching Jim Palmer numbers” (268 wins, and the hall of fame)
Any guesses anyone?

Ramon- nice grab. hope that kills some of the momentum.

Hmmm
That’s generally not how you want to handle the #8 and #9 hitters.
Well
That was actually a pretty good outing for Liz until this inning.
It’s still one of the best starts of his major league career, which is scary.
You missed me calling Ramon's shot
That was probably the high point of my life.

In fact, i don’t even have a kid. Ramon’s a sucker, though.

dkdc's premotion reminds me of my greatest Os related moment
in april 2005 i took my brother and his kids to a game for his b’day. we always get our seats in section 80, which i used to call “tejada home run land.”
anyway so my little nephew was all excited and asked if we would get a ball. and i guaranteed him we would. it was an absurd guarantee to be sure but …..
tejada delivered a ball right into my bro’s lap ……… on his b’day ……. and my guarantee held water. plus it was on espn.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
had to find the photo .... damn remember spring '05? we couldn't lose....
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
ugh
They’re running an ad for the celebration of the final season of Yankee stadium that calls it a “Cathedral.”
Gross.
Get used to it
Pretty much every commercial on YES talks about the Yankees as the “greatest sports franchise in history” and features Jeter somehow.
ugh
ugh ugh ugh
and i have to go out of my way to watch the redskins, too?
Why did I move here anyway?
Pretty Much
You get them when they play the Giants or on SNF or MNF. The other 12 or so games are tough.
There’s a Redskins bar in Manhattan called Red Sky that shows all of the games, if you’re interested.

Considering our starter’s ERA was twice their starter’s ERA.
But this is annoying.

get a slingbox....
I live in Pitt, but I have a “slingbox” to watch my orioles games. It’s a box (about $100-$200 depending on the model) that takes the TV picture from one location and sends it via the internet to the “slingplayer” so you can watch your tv from home anywhere you have the internet.
go to www.slingmedia.com – the company’s website or www.slingcommunity.com – a place where sling people meet and share ideas.
I bought the lowest end model, the slingbox tuner, that allows me to see basic cable, it cost me $100 on amazon.com.
All you need is a slingbox and a place to put it at someone’s home in Maryland, who has a decent internet connection (I would suggest an upstream of well over 700kpbs for sports).
Another word of advice, make sure you set it up at an internet connection that has a good “upstream” because it is sending the picture out to the internet (think of it as uploading a video to youtube, the faster your upload, the quicker it gets there – in this case, better quality).
It’s well worth it, plus if you are a football fan from B-More, you can get your Ravens too. Or even the Redskins if you an old school O’s fan who is from the D.C. Area who didn’t convert to the stupid Nats.
If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message.
Go O’s!
this is a joke right...

But…

Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
my friend has one
He uses it to watch Steelers/Pens/Pirates games in College Park.
I really should get one. I think I’ll ask for one for Christmas.
Also, balls.
honestly? that looked like a spam message?
I really thought I did my best to make it not look like it was spam, and was actually legit. I guess you guys don’t run into spam that often, cause that was as far away from spam as possible.
But yea, the slingbox is great if you move away from your favorite teams like I did.

why +1
Why be in a rush to pull Sarfate and Cherry, who weren’t struggling, if your next guy is Jamie Walker?
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
+2
why not let rocky ride … see if he’s OK for 8th.
cuz he’s an old man? nope.
cuz there’s a lot of season left? nope.
cuz he’s a prized future super stud? nope.
meh. guess even i, trembely fanboi, must ding DD for that one.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
