PrintScott Baker vs. Daniel Cabrera.
Minnesota comes into Baltimore just one game back of Chicago and looks to at least be competitive in this three game set against the formidable Orioles.
The lineup includes dangerous hitters like Kevin Millar, Jay Payton and slugger Brandon Fahey.
Can't watch this game on TV for another 45 minutes or so due to complications between the providers, but it's 4-1 Minnesota in the top of the fifth.
I kinda wish that I had gone to this game as a friend of mine told me that he paid a buck to sit behind the O's dugout for what will be two games in this doubleheader.
Go O's?

jon miller calling the tv game? wow. what a treat.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
I like that commercial
That is just an ad for Roch’s blog; leaving the Sun has gotten him more publicity?
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
By the way
On MASN right now is Tom Davis sitting down with Andy MacPhail.

The Ravens have their bye week eliminated to accommodate the Houston situation.

This is so stupid
There is a game going on and literally nobody is watching it besides both of the guys at the ballpark.

all i know is joe is calling the mlb.tv stream right now .... maybe it's a simul w/ the radio?
i can figure it out. it’s one of those gifts from the sky.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
I really hope that he is on MASN
But if he is alone that is a telltale sign that its just the radio feed.

OK this is getting bizarre
now the MLB TV feed is just nat sound
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
Maybe
It corresponds with the fact that the game just came on TV, and its Thorne + Palmer.

No one else here.
And I just decided that I’m going to the second game.

Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.

Surprising amount of people here.

I was about to post
Baltimo, I’m sorry you went to the game today. Enjoy some boog’s for me.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
Hi, Mr. Goodnews here. (No relation to Mr. Goodwrench). The Sawx are looking at a double snuff. Aaaaaaah. Nice, huh?
So are the Yerks, but who cares, they’ve given up all pretense of competence. Moose ‘n’ Sid both got whomped, ho-hum.
Speaking of whomped, overachieving UCLA got nipped at the buzzer at BYU, 59-0. And Cal somehow contrived to lose to…Maryland! I’m not making this up!

6-0 Twins in the first inning
Goodbye Olson, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
I was at the first game
The ratio of Twins fans to Orioles fans was about 2:1 , oddly enough. Fortunately, Twins fans are not remotely as obnoxious as YankeeSox fans.
Plus, there really weren’t that many people overall…
I did appreciate the fact that the game was at 5:05. It was possible to go to the game and not get back wicked late at night.

Kam looks good.
Nice outing so far. He looks relaxed and he his hitting his spots. I like his delivery too – tight.
Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
I'm still here
Only upside is that I’m pretty much behind homeplate for a buck, and I’m with some friends who got to see the doubleheader for the same price.
There are a ton of Twins fans.

Are you near the guy spinning the white towel when the Mil pitcher is winding up?

If we're thinking of the same person
That guy is right behind the plate and on the other side of the gate in between, it’s pretty damn funny though.

Another nice inning for Mikolio.
I hope this guy gets a lot of playing time for the rest of the year.

Orioles pitching,
a whole lotta sucking today, tomorrow, and the rest of the season.

Gosh, an ugly loss before friends and relatives-- who'd athunk it? Far more annoying was that
the Jays apparently decided that overtaking the Sawx for Wildcard was just too, um, impolite— it’s a Canada thing— and let the 2nd game trickle away. The Yerks also watched the Rayzzz fall asleep at the switch, avoiding a sweep (no thx to Sid, predictably, whose performance may drive him to drink— although the sky turning blue, the sun coming up and any number of other rare natural phenomena have been known to do the same thing).
Daniel, my brother, it’s not the 3 ER, it’s not the 7 hits— it’s the 5 BB. But then, it’s not like you don’ t know that. What the heck, we’re apparently stuck with ya— although hey, what would a Huff/D-Cabs/Sherrill/Roberts package draw, huh?— so let’s skip the actual lecture and pretend we gave it, OK?
Ahem, today’s Marquee Match-up: Doc Halladay vs. Whatsis Lester at Fuddway. Only Whosis thinks the latter is a better pitcher, but it should be a good contest, as both are used to getting a lot of calls (the hp ump will be under a lotta presshuh!); in any case, the Jayz really can’t do anything but win if they really do want, even in a subliminal way, to overcome their manners thing and push the Sawx gently out of Wildcardville.
Meanwhile, we have Liz— who seems to be pitching every third game recently— so buckle your seatbelts.
Go O’s!
p.s. Gosh, USC somehow nipped the Pride of the Big 10, Powerhouse Ohio State, um, 35-3. Yeah, OK, it was a lousy weekend overall for the nation’s best conf, but this was the matchup that spells out the basic difference. USC remains what it was at the end of last year, the flagship franchise of the NCAA— but vulnerable occasionaly within its own conference.
