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!

Anybody got Melmo's stats since the ASB?
He’s been hot, for sure.
I'll miss the game tonight
and frankly just about any east coast game from now on. Still at work….

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

Luke looked surpised to hit that...

RBI on a sac fly
I’ll take it.

dammit, get vitale out of the booth.
Duke isn’t playing, he doesn’t need to be there.

Vitale might be the sportscaster I dislike the most
I can not stand that guy, even more than Ken Rosenthal
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
Joe Morgan is also one of the best second basemen of all time.
And he works with Jon Miller, and I love Jon Miller.

for fuck's sake MASN
you don’t have to go to the booth when someone is in there…the game is on the field.

at least his grandkids know what's up.
OPACY is the best ballpark.
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.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
probably.

At least Juan Castro is better than Luis Hernandez.
"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
Brandon Fahey is better than a rock
and that’s really it
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
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
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
MILLAR!
DONG!

somebody get Palmer a lozenge, please.
"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
actually, Guts would be a game over .500

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.

Millar goes dong again!
Keep throwing him that pitch, please.
"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
well, then, you need to do it everyday for the rest of the year.

Rangers pitching coach...
“How the fuck can you give up a hit to Juan-fucking-Castro?”

this game is fun
Presidential nominee Guthrie shows that no matter what the loonies in Corpus Christi might think, there will be no Texas uprising.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
woof
Millar jumped on that thing. He’s in the zone tonight.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!
Assist to Hamilton right there.

HEY PLAYOFF CONTENDERS, RAZOR HAS ANOTHER RBI
Doesn’t he look attractive?
And he’s in the best shape of his life!
if texas doesn't score in the 7th,
i’m predicting the ump’s strike zone gets a little more generous. Friday night and all….
hmm
OK, Amber. “Kim Mickle-eye-oh” it is.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Yeah...
I don’t like it. I like Mick-o-leeo. Sound much less Old McDonald.
Kevbo: [to George Sherrill] George, you look a lot like Vin Diesel...
Flatbill: Let's get somethin' straight... Vin Diesel looks like me.

Speaking of Mike Mussina,
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.
nice inning, Jamie.
It’s always nice to see you do that.
"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
holy shit
Juan Epstein is pitching for the Rangers
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
I love Rangers pitching
It’s always seems to be to the Orioles’ batters, and everyone eles’s, liking.
My internet is for shit
Comcast can suck it.

Fuck Yeah!!!
Go O’s. I had a fish not too long ago, that was black and orange, so I named him Goos.
