Boom, Postgame

My homie, the fellow oregonian Jeremy Guthrie, started out ok, but he didnt look great giving up a couple of hits and a run. Then slumping Nick Markakis did something sort of good, by bringing in a run while hitting into a double play. That being said Jeremy Guthrie settled down and it was nice to see him take down what had been a very productive Toronto offense. Then to everyones suprise Gregg Zaun actually made some solid contact bringing in Huff, right after throwing out Adam Lind trying to steal. The Jays scattered some hits, but nothing serious. Then the degenerative weather condition got a lot worse, to the point where it looked like it might get called, but it settled down in the bottom of 7, just in time for BJ Ryan to give up a triple to B-Rob and a sac fly to Huff. With the insurance, Danys Baez pitched nice and George Sherill pretty much shut it down in the 9th, giving the O's a memorial day victory. Guthrie's ERA is now 4.90, fun stuff.

Guthrie is MBP, no doubt about it.

Shutting up all the people who are ready to proclaim you “done” after 50 bad innings is as frickin’ BIrdland as it gets.

Isn't it the same to think...

That after 7innings he is suddenly back?

Agreed.

Not if you didn’t think he was done to begin with.

Thats irrelevant, really

Either way its the exact same line of thinking. Clearly, he also think he was not done to begin with.

It was raining HARD in the 7th.

They brought out the ground grew to sit right next to the tarp in like the bottom of the 4th. They were there the rest of the game because they had to put the tarp on at the end. I felt bad for those kids.

Guthrie was definitely slipping in the 6th and 7th. Almost all the balls hit were scorching grounders/line drives. And the rain, of course. Tallet looked really good. I can’t tell you how Guts-like that guy’s start was.

also

surprised not see Huff on the pole. I would have voted for him if he was. A pretty nice catch late in the 9th, plus the double and run in the fourth to give us the win. Remember, the game could have been called… I really thought they’d call it as soon as they heard thunder, which wasn’t heard until the bottom of the 9th.

I felt bad for those kids.

Don’t; they’re kids and they’re getting the chance to run around on a professional baseball field while getting paid for it.

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

I have to add

that the kids who were sitting in the first-level seats largely talked their parents into staying down there. All these kids were soaking wet, and you know how kids get when they’re all wet and hyper. It was cool to see.

also, in regards to the ground crew

Isn’t that totally minimum wage?

Good Win, but....

I would like to see more “Fire” from this ball club, it’s almost like they take a non-chalent approach to the games… Maybe it is just me but I just don’t like the way Dave Trembley manages these games, he reminds me alot of Perlozzo, indecisive, second guesses himself, or just plain idiotic to say the least. Overall good win yesterday, would still like to see the young guns blooded in like the A’s do and the Nats as well, but doesn’t look like it….

by F4PhantomPhreak on May 26, 2009 1:59 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

The A's and the Nats brought up their young pitchers

because everyone else sucked out loud.

Well, I squeezed out a vote for Guts-- who still SUCKS, MAKES BAD PITCHES and LETS HIS TEAM GET BEHIND!!!

On purpose! And if he ever does that stuff again, I will not hesitate to kill him! Twice! Are you with me, fellow dimbulbs?!?

OK, let’s hope that little epidemic of irrationality has run its course. C’mon, we don’t need extra hands throwing around juvenile, blinkered prejudices here— that’s my job. Oh, and florid-…yeah, that guy’s. In the meantime:

- Thx for the write-up, Westie. It should count towards a homework assignment. Or a get out of study hall free card, maybe. Something. I can write you a note, if necessary. Or duck. Although I don’t think either of us certified in OR.

- Oriole Starting Pitcher Alumni Association (1): Another tenuous outing for El Sid, the KC long man: 3.2 – 4 – 3 – 3 , bringing his ERA to 6.49. Not looking too long-term there, Sid, ol’ buddy. Might wanna take a substantial doggy bag from the next post-game buffet. Although $ is probably not a problem, since we’re paying him through 2015 or something.

- OSPAA (2): D-Cabs up to his old tricks. In 2/3 of an inning, he gives up 3 BB and tosses a WP. But he didn’t give up a run [!]. Still, the Ginormous Gnats got beat by OSPAA member John Maine (now 4-3 and 4.19).

- OSPAA (3) Don’t know why Buh-DARD hasn’t started since May 21 (or maybe it’s too easy to guess), but he continues to wow us with a 2.64 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. Miss him yet?

- Going for us tonight against the Blow Jays is, um, Jason Berken, about whom I know very little. But I’m ready to start hating him if he sucks, makes bad pitches, gets behind on purpose and like that. And let’s get the Jason Merkin jokes out of the way early.

- Off to the depths of N. PA. tomorrow for a month at the, harrumph, family estate, on the banks of hte Mighty Susquehanna, far into the Land That Baseball Radio Broadcasting Forgot. Maybe it’s time to get serious about Sirius.

Go O’s!

Indeed he does

And what was with his bitching about the lights yesterday? Oh, umps, you can’t turn on the lights NOW because it WOULDN’T BE FAIR. Fuck you, Cito. The Blue Jays teams of the 90s would’ve won those WS with one of the McKenzie brothers managing.

I watched the Mets-Nats game at work last night

(No, I don’t get paid to watch TV, but I do work in a newsroom where a TV is always on). And Daniel Cabrera is a disaster. He comes in the game to hold the Mets lead down and proceeds to implode. It was painful to watch, because it was so reminiscent of many of his starts with the Orioles. But now they’ve got him doing mop up for the worst team (record wise) in baseball and he still can’t get the ball over the plate. At one point they panned the camera on the catcher and I swear to God I saw him rolling his eyes, as if, “Come on, you douche bag, will you just throw the ball over the plate and not bounce it into my crotch!”
