Texas Rangers at Baltimore Orioles, Aug 8, 2008 7:05 PM EDT

I decided to go with Guts vs. Hamilton in the pictures, since the Rangers have some dude named Mendoza with a 7.00 ERA pitching for them tonight. Let's face it, the Rangers are not about pitching, they are about hitting. So forget putting a picture of some nobody up next to Guts.
The Rangers like to rough up the O's, but if anyone can stop them, it is our presidential nominee Jeremy Guthrie.
Let's Go O's!

I've got pizza, wings, and a Guts start...
Hopefully, tonight is good.

He’s been hot, for sure.

US Border Patrol???
Why is the US Border Patrol sponsoring a baseball game? A Maryland broadcast of a baseball game at that.

Duke isn’t playing, he doesn’t need to be there.

Joe Morgan is also one of the best second basemen of all time.
And he works with Jon Miller, and I love Jon Miller.

The only one that’s even close is PNC Park.

Castro's OPS is .396
I think Markakis could hit an OPS of .396 batting with one arm.

Brandon Fahey is better than a rock
and that’s really it
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
by exitfare on Aug 8, 2008 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Fahey - OBP .267, SLG .345 OPS .612
Castro’s split is .174/.222/.396
There is not even close to enough defense to make up for Fahey’s offensive superiority to Castro.

This is one argument where I will not acept numbers
Fahey is just plain awful

yes, Fahey is just plain awful
but with a bat he is superior to Castro in every conceivable way.

Hi Peeps
just home from the happy hour. the stupid bar I was in had like 10 tvs. 9 were on the Eagles/Steelers game, and the 10th was on the Mets game. Sometimes I hate Baltimore.

he won #15 last night.
He’s going to finally win 20 this year, which I’m okay with, and he’s going to miss the playoffs at the same time, which I’m very happy about.
