9/22, O's versus the Rays at BAL

Well, who really cares what the O's do at this point.  I saw David Price a few times at Vandy so I kind have an attachment to him.  He's making his debut as a starter today.  Even though Price's season stats from his senior year at Vandy were pretty damn good, I almost always managed to catch him on his off days.  His control would falter leading him to pound fastball down the middle.  Maybe the same will happen today.  Some guy with an arm is pitching for the O's.  Discuss.

Dude's TALL

At 6’5", he made Gary looks like a member of the Lollipop Guild and even Buck looked short.

And pretty well spoken on camera for a kid playin’ AA ball just out of college.

I’m sure I’m not alone in chuckling (OK, and sighing just a bit) that the Rays choose to let Price have his first start against the Os.

OK David, this team mailed it in weeks ago. Take the ball and just throw strikes. These hapless clowns will just wither away. Oh, but you know what to say in any pre-game interviews.

well, that's a quick hook

Well, of course

with our top—what—three relievers on the DL? They started out a solid so-so, with JJ, Sir Farty, Albers around, not to mention ChadBrad. Now? Rooks & retreads. What do you expect?

Hockey season

I’m waiting on the Caps to remind me why I watch sports. Ovechkin is THAT good.

Red Sox losing

So beating the Rays could be relatively guilt-free

The Ravens

had a hell of a game yesterday

by Michael18 on Sep 22, 2008 8:47 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I love it

when C-Mac, Reed & Ray-ray come alive. Still no offense—and Flacco threw a couple of pics (have we seen this movie before?)

I would

but it’s hard to find the end of Rexx’s posts!

offense did good around the goal line

next week vs the steelers monday night game, almost must win

by Michael18 on Sep 22, 2008 8:53 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Sorry to say

but I think you are setting yourself up for a disappointment. The Steelers are the first (really) good team they are playing, and they’ll make the Ravens pay for all the rookie sh&t—like Flacco running the ball 6x.

I'm pulling up some Homer quotes that just might be on the clubhouse wall

"If you don’t like your job, you don’t strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way."

I think we are going to

upset the Steelers, gonna be a bruising type game, an we are 3 deep at running back. Very big upside.

Cherry

He’s gonna throw a few decent pitches with movement, but every sixth pitch (fastball, slider, whatever) or so comes in flat. If it’s over the plate, look out.

I feel like cursing

but I can’t work up the energy. Does that make me an Orioles fan, or an Oriole?

since football is creeping in
Bill Ford Jr. has seen enough of the way team president Matt Millen is running his father’s Detroit Lions.

The Ford Motor Co. executive chairman spoke to reporters Monday after a Detroit Economic Club meeting. The vice chairman of the Lions said he was disappointed in the team’s performance and said fans deserve better.

When asked, Ford said Millen should leave the team, but he didn’t have the authority to make such a significant change.

I guarantee you no Angelos spawn would have such guts.

throw a strike

I guess you'd rather walk in a run with Pena

than give him something to hit with the bases loaded. But still…

So one of my buddys from work is in Baltimore

He’s never been to Camden Yards. He wanted to see the Rays. I told him the Os would throw some meatball out on the mound and lose the game, probably with a lot of BBs. He’s gonna think I’m a genius.

by drj on Sep 22, 2008 9:22 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

It would be nice if Grant Balfour would grant ball fouir

but he seems to throw, ahem, STRIKES. How un-Birdland.

by fishoutawata on Sep 22, 2008 9:24 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Overall, a pretty good night for the Os

They only lost by two runs against a significantly superior team. The eight BBs are about what we expect of late, as are the silent bats. They only gave up three hits and managed to lose. It would be a stretch to expect anything more. Overall, this was a solid September performance.

15 LOB

We finally get a few decently pitched games, and there’s no clutch hitting

by fishoutawata on Sep 22, 2008 10:07 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I said at the start of the year

That it would be a miracle if the Os won 70 games. I look like a genius, sadly.
I hate to say it, but I think they will be this bad, or worse, next year.
Huff and Mora, if they’re around, will not be this productive, and I don’t see any pitchers who give me much hope for the future. Liz has shown flashes of late, but that’s about it.
The best thing that could happen is Angelos dies and leaves the franchise to Cal Ripken in his will.

Those darned Sox

2-out rally bottom 9. Ah, wait, Red Sox lose, THAAH… RED SOX LOSE!

I guess we did some good in our own modest way.
