Rich Hill the Oriole: Pretty sneaky, Andy

With stunning artistry that would fool the untrained eye, I have used Pixelmator to turn this Rich Hill Cubs card into a Rich Hill Orioles card.
See if you can spot the altered parts!
I also reached out and landed an interview with one of my favorite bloggers: Me.
Q: How do you feel about the Rich Hill acquisition?
A: I like it.
Q: Why?
A: Hill has genuine talent and the Orioles have no starting pitchers.
Q: Yes, but he does have a command problem. Is this worrisome for you?
A: Duhr. But what were they going to do, start Brian Burres? He has a command problem, too. Everyone they're talking about has a command problem except Guthrie and, in theory, Uehara.
Q: Is it true that Andy MacPhail still wishes he was with the Chicago Cubs?
A: Apparently.
***************
So, I like the trade. A lot, in fact. I do worry a bit that Andy is going to send the Cubs Forget-Me-Nots on the 14th, and that if push came to shove he'd trade Nick Markakis for Corey Patterson and Mark Prior, but this also makes me like the Felix Pie acquisition more. I'd rather be gambling on Rich Hill than Garrett Olson, plus now we have Felix Pie.
Pie and Hill would've cost us Brian Roberts a year ago.
Pretty sneaky, sis.

Now, now, don't exaggerate.
We have ONE starting pitcher. We do have one. GUts would start on any team in teh AL. Now, granted, he’s it, but we do have ONE.

Also...
is it just me, or is Andy MacPhail bound and determined to get everyone he wanted in last year’s Cubs talks for Brian Roberts without giving up anyone of actual value this time?

Ah Camden Chat
I come for the Orioles related talk, but I stay for the communal love of Scrubs

is it any good this year?
I love Scrubs but thought it had run its course by the end. ABC didn’t agree with me. I wonder who was right?

Im still a fan
its kinda the whole 90210 scenario… Cox is taking over the hospital, JD and Elliot are the big docs on campus now, and theres a whole new batch of personality for them to get frustrated at and then realize “hey, we were just like them!”. Ah, growing up…
But yea, it still rocks. Take this for example
We goin steak night, we gonna eat it right…

The cast and writers seem really motivated to close with a good season instead of the fucking garbage of season seven and the stinking crap of season six. Season eight has been really good so far IMO. They’ve lowered the goofiness and put some of the heart back into the show.

It kind of struck me as similar to them finally sticking Doug in the morgue. If we’re at all going to believe these people work in a hospital, a slacking moron like Ed is going to get fired and Doug isn’t going to keep being allowed to treat patients if he kills them all. I’ll miss Ed, though. Kid from Little Giants is not a suitable replacement.

I knew I recognized him
that guy sucks. and psedo-hot lesbian-type but not really doctor who’s name I forgot wasnt even in that episode. Ed needs to get a job in the coffee shop or something just so I can continue to use his hip expressions in daily life.

Good luck with Rich Hill.
Let us Cubs fans know if he throws a strike.

I’ll let you know when we win 80 games.

Give it time
Sooner or later you’ll hate Rich Hill more than you can ever imagine. Whether it be after his 8th walk of the game, and the O’s haven’t made it out of the 2nd inning or whether his fastball is looking like batting practice in a Little League field, if Rich Hill is the answer, you are asking all the wrong questions. That said, not like you gave anything up for him right?

We've had Daniel Cabrera
as a started for 5 years. We’re very accustomed to the upside waiting game.

well I'm just speaking for me
But I’m fucking sick of the upside waiting game, too. Honestly I love the Hill acquisition but I imagine dude is right, at least in my case — if he sucks I’ll lose it in every game thread.

I think I've spotted the alteration.
Hill doesn’t really use a Wilson glove, does he?
hakkaa päälle !
