Sunny. Winds blowing in from left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 70.

Complete Coverage >

So, we have a chance to witness a sweep of the Mariners today, if Good Danny shows up. It will be the first road sweep of the year, if I'm reading my Baltimore Sun Schedule/Results page correctly.

Carlos Silva has won exactly 1 game since April. One. Like, only one more than you have won in MLB since April. Steve Trachsel has as many wins as a starter pitcher since April. Yeah, Steve Trachsel. I went there.

In case you haven't noticed, Brian Roberts is slowly coming out of a month-long slump (batting barely .200 for the month of July) and has only attempted 1 stolen base (last night, successfully)  in almost 3 weeks. Look it up - it's been about 15 games, 1 steal. Luke Scott is cooling down after his American League Player of the Week honors on July 21 - he's batting .129 in his last 10 games with just 4 hits and 8 Ks in his last 31 ABs.

But why harp on the negative? Daniel Cabrera is looking to tie Garret Olson (?!?!?!?!?) (ed. note - and Jeremy Guthrie, thanks Brotz13),  for the team lead in wins (see how that worked out for Brian Burres before you get too excited), and the team looks to begin a Sunday winning streak after last week's win. And just think - the O's would only be 3.5 games out in the NL West!

Suck, thy name is Carlos Silva - and the O's are coming for you.

BALTIMORE

1. Brian Roberts - 2B
2. Jay Payton - CF
3. Nick Markakis - RF
4. Aubrey Huff - DH
5. Melvin Mora - 3B
6. Kevin Millar - 1B
7. Luke Scott - LF
8. Guillermo Quiroz - C
9. Alex Cintron - SS

SEATTLE

1. Ichiro - RF
2. Reed - CF
3. Ibanez - LF
4. Beltre - 3B
5. Lopez -2B
6. Vidro - DH
7. LaPhair - 1B
8. Clement - C
9. Betancourt - SS

Lineup notes: Now 23-year-old Adam Jones (Happy belated Birthday!) gets the day off, with Jay Payton manning center field. Jay's batting .276 in his last 10 games, which about mirrors Adam's numbers for the season. I know, small sample size and all, especially since 3 of the games combined led to 2 ABs, but it's not like he's a colossal pile of offensive suck out there right now. Ramon Hernandez gets the day game after a night game off, which is to be expected from a catcher. And Alex Cintron gets his first start since coming of the DL. Save us, Alex, from Mendoza Line shortstops! I mean, he is batting a positively Ripken-like .270 in 70 ABs for us this year.

AWESOME throw by quiroz..

a little late.. but damn.. that was right on the money.. a textbook throw.

That was a GREAT throw.

Too bad he can’t bat his weight.

Goodness knows the bullpen’s rested….

No Danny!

A walk, a steal, a triple and a 1-0 deficit with man on 3rd and 0 out.

Yup, it’s Sunday.

That could have been a lot worse

2 years ago, it’s 7-0 Seattle and Danny’s throwing at people. I supposed this is progress…

Aubrey's over .500 for the road trip?

Damn. It’s HARD to hit .500 for more than a couple of games. I hope he keeps it up in LA

Silva's BAA since April is over .350

I can’t think he’s gonna limit us to 2 or less. C’mon, guys!

2nd run scored on a sac fly ... the CF came in to score from 3rd

nick’s thrown was in time but wide toward 1B

danny looks like a giant wild ‘tard

Here we go!

I knew Silva couldn’t hold us down!

Scott breaks an 0 fer 15, Q driving in runs….it’s gonna be a good day!

We got the 2 back.

That’s important. Silva’s chances of pitching well are a lot lower than Danny’s. This has 9-8 or the aforementioned 12-11 written all over it.

I'm okay with that.

Luke got out of his 0-for, and an RBI

hahah, i watch the games on mlb tv, so its not masn and the announcers go, “well that uh, well, thats a 3-2 lead for the orioles” absolutely hilarious

by semaj2989 on Aug 3, 2008 4:52 PM EDT   0 recs

Luke's still in the game

and he’s no Nick Markakis on throws…

that should be a foul ball.

or an out, fan interference is such bullshit.

wow.. that actually looked foul..

and these seattle announcers are getting on my nerves…

by Y Not on Aug 3, 2008 5:05 PM EDT   0 recs

hah no i think they've been advised to not attempt his name anymore..

they just referred to him as the “Orioles manager” (which was funny because Trembley and Perlozzo were on the same screen when he came out to argue)...

but it was annoying because they freeze framed it when the ball landed, and from a distance you can see there was spacing between the ball and the line, with the ump looking over it. So they don’t comment on the fact that the ball was obviously off the line, they just say, “Well, you cant say anything about it becaues the umpire has the best view of it .. he’s right on top of it, not Mora…” (something like that)

by Y Not on Aug 3, 2008 5:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Another reason to like 3DG

He’s not above saying “Looks like the O’s got a break on that call…”

At least we don't do the 3 fielders running into each other

thing too often. That looked bad. The CF looked pretty shook up.

he'll be aw-ite. rub some dirt on it.

by thewaywardO on Aug 3, 2008 5:16 PM EDT   0 recs

I hate to say it

but Luke needs to come out of this game. That ankle is bothering him big time. If Adam can go, send him to LF (reduced acreage to cover). But Luke need to be icing, not sprinting.

And here's a lead

Nick Markakis strikes again. Just the thought of him and Jones in OF for 3 more years together makes me happy.
