Let's go, O's.
And I hope AJ comes back strong, and with a quickness.

wow markakis wasn't even close on that one.
I say this while I’m in my pajamas and a wife beater.
what insight
Fastball, curveball, change
Starter background gives “feel”
2nd start, smoother approach

what % chance do we have of winning tonight?
i say 12.8%
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
That sounds about right

That sort of at bat gets old really quickly

how did that stay fair?

what's goin' on in this chatroom, fellas?
long time no see. first and third with no out? i see nothing has changed in my absence.
"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."
Actually, 5 of the last 7 were kinda nice...

suffarty isn't the answer
but at least the angels tv guys say his hame right
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
All that...
and he gives up ONE run.
I’d suggest some 1-2-3 innings after this, though. No way he can pull that off again.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
these angels announcers have no appreciation for
momentary silence.
They talk. A lot.
As he has pretty much all year
We’re pretty much in agreement we most likely are going to get swept, yes?

We'll take tomorrow's game
Whether it’s Chris Waters, Cormier, or Jimmy Haynes, it doesn’t matter. Tomorrow is my birthday, and the O’s have won 4 in a row on August 5.
8/5
They’re also 29-20 all time on Eight-Five, and 16-8 during my time on Earth. Amazing what you can find on B-R.com when you’re bored.
It is truly a strange world
when mere mortals have access to so much information almost instantaneously.

Juan Castro
For the love of fuck.

How is Castro an upgrade over anything else we threw out there this year?
And more importantly where is Cintron, at least he has played well while he has been here.

And a hell of a throw by Markakis.

uh hey Gary
Mark Teixeira ain’t an Oriole yet. Calm down with your man love for him. He’s on the other team. WAY BACK RIGHT FIELD :)! is not what I want to hear from you right now.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum

“Pulls that two feet and it’s gone. BY A MILE.”
It hit the fucking wall. It would’ve just cleared if anything. It was not the hardest hit ball ever.
That one was up there, though. Fuck.

There's no WAY he's an O
Boras wants a 10-year deal. If he wins with the Angels, he’ll stay. If not, he’s headed for BOS or NYY. Let’s not pretend Baltimore is even in contention. We’ll just be used to drive the price up.

Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
I hear that
Them fellers ain’t readily available, though.
Let’s get Johan Santana since he sucks so bad that he makes the Mets worse and sucks at being a New York player and sucks with his 2.86 ERA and sucks.

Guts is only 29
and two years off for a Mormon mission means he’s 27 in baseball years. We definitely need a #2 and #3 more than we need a #1.

I really wouldn’t mind him at all. He’ll be “expensive” but not REALLY, and it’s not like he’s going to block anyone in our system in the next three years.
Of course he’ll be 36 at the end of that deal, so hmm…
No, I’ll still take him compared to these jokers.

“for most pitchers, that’s a strike, but because texeira’s so patient and has such a good eye, it’s a ball.”

The club is waiting for well-known orthopedic specialist Lewis Yocum to review the film before making any determination about Jones’ status.

On the one hand that might be really bad news, but on the other hand I’m glad they’re being safe and getting top-flight medical advice before they act. We’re not going to win shit this year so if the specialist sees something that means Adam takes a few weeks off, then better that than making it worse trying to play him hurt like idiots.

Its August, we're the Orioles
"Whether your name is Gehrig or Ripken, DiMaggio or Robinson, or that of some youngster who picks up his bat or puts on his glove, you are challenged by the game of baseball to do your very best day in and day out. That's all I've ever tried to do."
Not bad, not bad at all
The Throne head is quite well done.

Well, the girl has
dependent personality disorder. She’ll buy whatever excuse he gives her as long as he comes back to her. She’s also blinding herself from the fact that he’s cheating on her with her sister and her best friend. The fact that he even bothers to lie to her is just his way of respecting her.
That’s actually the real script.
ahhh
NOW I get it.

i'm so bored with this game...
i went back and worked on teixeira a little. blurred him, tinted him a little green, and desaturated him to match his skin to gary’s. now they look like htey’re in the same universe.
Nicely done.

Some good news, anyway...
MFY just lost on a walk-off 2-out grand slam by Byrd. That plus the Red Sox and Rays lost, too. Not that I really care.
If you hit Jeff Mathis twice with pitches
he turns into Johnny Mathis on his third plate appearance.
At least we got that going for us.

man
I really like how Juan Castro hangs in there and takes a good cut and doesn’t bail out like a little kid flailing the bat at an area that might potentially contain the ball.

and sadly
I think Castro may have gotten all of that one.

Walked in the winning run

At least someone hit the damn thing. I had this exact conversation with a Tigers fan yesterday when Rodney walked in the game-winner.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
more on that guy
He’s in his 60s or maybe 70s, and he turns to me an inning or so before the Rodney walk-off walk and says, “The Tigers bullpen…SUCKS. They ain’t NO. DAMN. GOOD.”
This guy ruled.
