Hmm, Guts going at Fenway, early in the season...Y'know, I had a nightmare kinda like this once.
And I don’t mean the usual math anxiety dream. It’s taken me almost two years of therapy to get over the recurrent night sweats and heebie-jeebies of this Unnamed Dread— somehow Razor is involved, a ball pops loose and the Oriental philosopher Sam-Per Lao-Tzo is walking…walking…walking toward a small hill in a sea of green— but maybe if I watch this game tonight with one eye closed or through my fingers or something, I’ll learn to conquer my irrational terror and become a whole person again.
Boo-wahahahahahahahahaha! Them ol’ dreams are only in your head!
Go O’s!

ON paper,
I like Koji v. Lester. Given the year Lester is having.

Indeed
Some ten or twelve years of personal hardships and emotional privations caused by the continued incapacity of the Baltimore baseball club to field a competitive team has not yet dimmed the mirthfulness and merriment felt by this author at viewing a contest betwixt the Orioles and whichever assemblage of bounders that happens to find themselves in the most unfortunate position of being on the receiving end of a proper flogging at the hands of the Charm City club.

"I think it’s shocking that the Baltimore Orioles are off to a 6-2 start this year, considering they are managed by TJ Hooker."
Perhaps it's a matchup?
Here is his line vs. Penny
PA AB H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS SH SF IBB HBP GDP
24 19 8 2 1 0 0 4 2 .421 .522 .632 1.154 1 0 0 0 2
"I think it’s shocking that the Baltimore Orioles are off to a 6-2 start this year, considering they are managed by TJ Hooker."
I'm amazed by Big Papi Ortiz's downward spiral.
.264 BA last year? That’s just terrible for the 3 spot, and he’s lost significant pop. All the better for us, I guess.
Ortiz had a mediocre season last year marred by injury. And for the record, his OBP was 0.369, which means his batting average is meaningless when determining his value. The man got on base.
What he didn’t have was power. An SLG of only .507 is not what you’re looking for from a big name DH. He was just a league average DH last year.
which is why i can't wait
for a couple of years from now, when our young guns are up, and MFY and PHN are all old and in wheelchairs :-)
Dude thank god you're back
I missed you.
"I think it’s shocking that the Baltimore Orioles are off to a 6-2 start this year, considering they are managed by TJ Hooker."
Gammons
was on ESPN radio this morning lamenting Ortiz’s lack of bat speed. Said he made himself into a star using the wall at Fenway & now guys throwing in the 80’s are throwing it by him.
You’ll have to imagine Petah Gammons sighing a lot during this conversation, the homer.

Hey, SC
Or anyone else for that matter, who chooses which ads are shown on Camden Chat? I’ve noticed that other blogs, like Federal Baseball, don’t have any ads on the sidebar, presumably because they have less traffic.
I really don’t know much of anything about computers/marketing, but is it your choice or up to the head honchos at SB Nation? I realize that you don’t make any profit, but I’m just wondering.

Mmmmmm Nigerian Food
So I needed to buy some coke for my Jack and Cokes for tonight’s O’s game. Now, my car’s parked around the block here in Downtown York and, fuck it, I’ve had a long day I don’t feel like going to get it. I decided for the first time since moving into my building in December to visit the African food store that’s adjacent to the building.
So I pick up my pepsi but all I have is my debit card, and there’s a $10 minimum for debit transactions so I’m informed I have to pick out some other stuff. The proprietor recommends M&Ms and pretzels and stuff, but his wife insists I try her meat pockets.
Imagine a Hostess fruit pie filled with mystery meat. I have literally no idea what she said is in here… she said it’s “like beef.” Not “its beef”, but “it’s like beef.” I have never been so fucking thrilled and horrified to eat anything in my entire life. I’m gonna take a shot of this JD and nuke me a Nigerian Meat Pocket and watch me some Baltimore Orioles baseball.
I should have just taken the M&Ms...
Its kind of like corned-beef, which I can take or leave, inside a very dry pie-crush-pocket. I love trying new food, but this is not something that I am a fan of. WHY DID I BUY FOUR?
shoulda bought spices
exoctic spices are the best. You can make ANYTHING taste way better than it should
I love to cook and I love cooking and eating unusual and exotic dishes
But dude, there was no saving these things.
yeah
I was just saying I’m sure they had some neat spices and stuff that you could have bought to fill up the 10 dollar minimum
Dude
you probably just ate rat or cat or dog.

I do not like either of the Sawxs alts. They scream “marketing gimmick” to me, as if they realized if they put a new hat in the uni set all of PHN would buy it.
I sort of like the red jerseys
Not as sharp as the O’s black ones, but nice.

I don’t like those sock hats.

MASN is not good at all

I was going to clarify after the fact...
Ortiz was swinging for the fences and whiffed on it. With all of my friends being BoSox “fans” just about every game against Boston feels big to me
I have a friend name "Red Sox Pete"...
who I have seen one time in my life without a Red Sox cap on, and it was at a wedding when he was a groomsman. The others are total PHN’ers.
There is no classic feel to this game
This looks like two NL expansion teams facing off in September when the front office is experimenting with new uniforms.

We’re wearing the red jerseys? And I LOVE the Baltimore script on the away jerseys.
Thank you
it’s kind of a big deal around here.

The Rays fans are still somewhat concerned that the lack of "Tampa Bay" on the away jerseys means they're preparing to move.
Where as the Rangers want EVERYONE to know they’re from Texas.

his walks have actually gone down the past 3 years
91, 77, 62. I don’t think he’s had enough solid seasons under his belt yet to warrant “those kinds of ball calls”, but yet again, he does play for PHN ;-)

OK, now you can panic. Top prospect Matt Wieters singled in his first at-bat tonight against the Gwinnett Braves and then had to be removed for a pinch runner with an apparent hamstring strain. Orioles officials told O’s beat writer Jeff Zrebiec they are aware of the situation and there will be an update when they know more.
Strange coincidence that this happened on the first day the Orioles could have purchased his contract and still preserved seven seasons under reserve before he can become a free agent. He wasn’t coming up right away, but he had just completed the 12 days he had to stay off the roster the way Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria did last year.
Instant update: Orioles public relations guy Jeff Lantz just told the reporters in the Fenway Park press box that Wieters suffered a “hamstring cramp” and was removed from the game against Gwinnett for precautionary reasons. His condition will be re-evaluated tomorrow.

Question:
Who were y’all rooting for in last year’s ALCS? Not going to hold it against y’all, just wondering if the Rays have annoyed other teams too.
in the ALCS? lol
"I think it’s shocking that the Baltimore Orioles are off to a 6-2 start this year, considering they are managed by TJ Hooker."
I was wondering
why my bookie was giving me such good odds….

Rays
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
This.
I hope the Red Sox and Yankees fall off a cliff.

Birdland. Unfortunately.

If you're a Sox fan, by definition you are not Birdland.
And will never be.

You will never get Birdland
It’s a way of life.
"I think it’s shocking that the Baltimore Orioles are off to a 6-2 start this year, considering they are managed by TJ Hooker."
Each of the last few years, the Orioles started out, and then hit this very noticeable turning point where they returned to their sucky selves.
I just have that kind of vibe about the last 2 games.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
this is why they play 162 games
Any schmuck team can have a good 16 or 82 games.

I'm guessing
3rd inning of Sunday’s game. He’s due.
Matt Wieters took batting practice this morning. There were no survivors.
I should hate him for being an FSU guy.
But he was a Vike in high school. Even if I moved before I could’ve gone to Lowdnes, gotta support him. Plus, he hits a home run almost every playoff game.
Well sure.
I mean, except for the 46 playoff games in which he hasn’t.

I want to type out so many curse words at this point...
and yet they alone could not convey the depth of my frustration with this team.
Can’t 2011 just get here already?

Wieters will be here soon.
And sometime, maybe, some pitchers.

Awww.
I didn’t think he was that bad. He just couldn’t figure out not to fuck with Stacey.
That said, SC bans are Birdland.
He does this bit every year when we play the Red Sox and this year was particularly obnoxious.

best option
Look fastball, get fastball, hit fastball. Papelboner is too good to work a count sadly. Now that I’ve said he’s good, fuck him.
