Every time I see Andino’s name, I think of Godzilla.

GOD-ZI-LLA!

AN-DI-NO!

pretty poor showing overall. Crowd was as small as I’ve ever seen it and extremely quiet until the ninth inning. Guts seemed OK but not particularly good. The O’s hitters decided to stop hitting things after the second inning instead electing to throw their bats at the ball. Matt Albers sucks. Sarfate seemed OK.

Almost had some Orioles magic.

Almost.

Went to a Zephyrs game, vs. the Isotopes. It rained briefly earlier, and the grounds crew were out. After half an hour they announced that the field was unplayable, so no game.

Hey, Sir Farty and Ray lookin good! (in the box score)

it’d be sarfate, but there wasnt a sarfate option. then again, I wasnt going to vote for anyone.

But choking at game end after getting a 3-0 count is decidedly un-Birdland, and negated the Birdlandery of a 2-hit game.

F*cking Albers. F*cking Albers. F*cking Albers! Like there’s some debate about his bus ticket to NorthF*ck.

It’s certainly amusing to see comments like “Guts is in trouble,” “Guts isn’t doing us right,” “Guts this” and “Guts that.” Please. Guts is what Guts is. And he’s the best what we got. Not happy about it? Ride your own bike to OPACY, get up on the mound, we’ll see what you got.

Today’s Fun Fact: Look at the AL East standings. If you switch the Yerks and Team Politenessville around, you know whatcha get— Hello Good Old Days! Try it— and show your friends!

So, football peeps: Is the USC draft over?

‘S up to Cy Eaton to get us back on track tonight. I’m psyched. Or maybe psycho.

Go O’s!

Granted I fell asleep after the 4th, but the one announcer was discussing our bullpen. He said something along the lines of “I think the real strong point of this team is the bullpen. They got off to a rocky start, but they have really come along.”

I am sure he are those words later in the game.

when Melvin returns. He has looked like crap lately. Perhaps he needs to figure some things out after his injury. With Baez and Bass being effective he’s not really needed, provided the starters don’t start crapping out in the 4th and 5th innings on a regular basis.

The only guy who’d deserve any sort of “player of the game” would be Matt Harrison. After he struggled in the first two innings, he put it together in a big way. 4 perfect innings, and then a single in the 7th. That was some good pitching, esspecially if you noticed how our line up was NOT hacking, they were trying to get good at-bats but the pitcher was not having it.

Nick Markakis in the first inning probably cost us a run.

I was at the game, it was an alright crowd. I thought the 9th inning was probably the loudest we were all game, considering how many people had left by then.

Ushers were being random dicks trying to curtail cigarette smoking on the lower level concourse.

For those of us who watched the game on tv, you heard the announcers talking about how Ron Washington expects his starters to last late into the game, and that they cant complain about pitch count or how long they have to go. This is just after the best pitcher in our staff gets pulled for a long reliever. Granted, he had given up a couple of runs, and his pitch count was over 100, but why in the world would Albers be any better? These pitchers are never going to get used to pitching late into a game if they get pulled after 5 innings, even if they do give up some runs in the process.

And in response to the post about how the announcers commented on how good the bullpen had done recently: they never made mention of it again.

Good showing from Ray. Hopefully we can get the fat duck out of the closer role soon.

Sad stuff. It’s kind of hard to think that Adenhart could have been pitching tonight, or tomorrow, in front of friends of family.

Drunk driving can take that away.

Mora up, Albers down.
