Gameday Thread: Texas Rangers @ Baltimore Orioles 7:05
Texas Rangers @ Baltimore Orioles

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.

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

dammit, get vitale out of the booth.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.
