The question is "Will Good Danny or Bad Danny show?" Stay Tuned to Find Out
O's Notes:
- Nick Markakis leads the Majors in outfield assists after throwing out Vladimir Guerrero at second base on Wednesday.
- Somebody was asking the other night what MelMo is batting since the all-star break well he's hitting .364 (22-77) with seven doubles, four homers, 10 runs scored, and 22 RBI. (.402 on base % and .610 slugging %)
- Interesting Fact about Guts this year: According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Jeremy Guthrie has had eight starts this year in which he has pitched six or more innings and allowed two or fewer runs without getting the win.

Gregg Olson induction on right now
They cut it off right in the middle to go to commercial. LAME.

I can't watch any of the games this weekend
because all the Rangers games are blacked out on MLB.TV since I live in Louisiana.

Did you read the fanshot I posted earlier today?
They are re-evaluated the blackout restrictions in the off season. They want to make it so that you would only get blacked on EI/mlb.tv if that team actually has a local broadcast in your area. Makes much more sense. Hopefully next year you won’t have to deal with it.

That Sounds Awesome
I would be so happy if they did that. Right now the restrictions make no sense.

I just hope.....
.....it doesn’t screw up the MASN deal down here. We don’t have an Orioles broadcast affiliate, but since we’re in the Orioles territory we get all the games on MASN through DirecTV.

Whether you're an Orioles fan or a Rangers fan
That first inning was pretty frustrating.

A walk, a single, a three-run home run.

he seemed like crap in inning one
But he’s gotten it together quite nicely. Padilla can’t say the same.

Skill awards.....
Merit badges are Boy Scouts. He will get BB shooting, which did my heart good, considering his vision. He actually hit the paper 6 out of 25 times. For a kid with his vision problems, that’s just short of a miracle. I’ve never been more in debt two two teenage boys than I was his den counselor and the rifle range manager. Those guys spent 20 minutes with just him helping him out. You’ve never seen a 8 year old more proud of BB holes 3 inches away from a target on a paper than my boy…but he had reason to be proud. And so did I.
So, see you guys in 8 days – I’ll be back next Sunday after the game. Maybe they will keep scoring 9 runs a game while I’m gone. And if they do, promise not to change the locks to my house, OK?

Walking Markakis to load the bases. Hopefully Mora will make them pay.

Mora's been hot
But I’d still face him over Nicky any day. I’m glad it didn’t work out for them though.

95 pitches
unless this inning gets out of hand, I’d say Danny can go one more. It’s a lovely day outside, not too hot.

I remember being concerened with his strikeouts the first two months of the season. Good to see him putting up another steller season.

He was slumping something fierce for several weeks
it was hard to stay positive when he was flailing away like that. Thankfully he got it together.
