Sooooooo anybody heard of this Wieters guy.
"Daddy, is Hevan like BIRDLAND?"
"No son, Hevan is BIRDLAND."
I had the least Birdland day ever
All kinds of awful things at work keeping me from chilling on CC on the most important day of the baseball season. Every time something new came up I told people they were ruining Matt Wieters Day.

Anybody use MLB TV currently?
I’m up in New Hampshire for this weekend (damn it!) and am going to buy it for the game. Is it worth getting the Premium? Only $4 difference so I figure if it’s even slightly better it’s worth it.
I just bought it today too and was watching the cubs game to check it out.
The hd feed was definitely better than the regular, but the regular feed was very watchable. I dunno what it’ll be like tonight since MASN isnt in HD. The multiscreen is nice too if you would ever use that.
well since my tv is about the same size as my laptop screen, i havent bothered with that
but the feed looks good enough on hd that it shouldnt be a problem. I would definitely go with premium though.
i have the regular
i watch all the O’s games on mlb.tv and I don’t mind it not being premium
by brooklynlovesorioles on May 29, 2009 5:45 PM EDT up reply actions
yeah
I haven’t tried connecting to my TV. I’m in NY so that way I can watch Yankees/Mets on TV on mute with O’s on the computer. Or, in tonight’s case, watch NBA on the TV. But for one game, with Wieters debuting, going premium can’t hurt.
by brooklynlovesorioles on May 29, 2009 5:54 PM EDT up reply actions
Any idea how to hook it to your TV?
"In a couple of weeks or a month, I'll be excited about this team," Dawkins said. "I've got to get used to saying that -- I'm a Bronco." Then he paused. "I'll tell you one thing -- I'll always be an Eagle."
I've got Premium
1. Premium is usually about 2 minutes delayed from radio / standard view. This makes it hard when someone on CC posts “DONGGGG!” before the batter shows up at the plate on Premium.
2. Premium is flaky / jerky sometimes. Occaisionally it just hangs
3. Video quiality for standard is truly watchable, but premium is GREAT quality most of the time.
It's amazing all the Oriole talk that has been going on today
and not just about Wieters. XM, ESPN, and the Internets has been talking about the Orioles AND saying positive things about about them!
It’s been a very nice start to Matt Wieters Day.

how do you
put pictures in the comment like that? just curious.

here's what you do
1) cram in the picture into the womper netz
2) clean the inter tubes
3) wrap the intertubes around the picture
I have been to every game since last Sunday sans one
Yet I’ll be watching this matchup go down from my friend’s couch.

Moellers DFAed

"Your wife told you to play in New York.

dah, they both suck.
Zaun OPS+ 62
Chad OPS+ 58
"Your wife told you to play in New York.

I think Wieters could have his arm amputed and hit better than those two scrubs.
"Your wife told you to play in New York.

Its a little known fact that his hands are only on the bat for show.
Wieters can hit home runs using only his mind.
Yeah but Zaun has sort of contributed with the bat at some point in his life. Moeller has not.

With apologies to Bob Dylan
Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin’.
Like the stillness in the wind
’Fore the hurricane begins,
The hour when the Wieters comes in.
Oh the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking.
Then the tide will sound
And the wind will pound
And the morning will be breaking.
Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep still in their eyes
And they’ll jerk from their beds and think they’re dreamin’.
But they’ll pinch themselves and squeal
And know that it’s for real,
The hour when the Wieters comes in.
Then they’ll raise their hands,
Sayin’ we’ll meet all your demands,
But we’ll shout from the bow your days are numbered.
And like Pharaoh’s tribe,
They’ll be drownded in the tide,
And like Goliath, they’ll be conquered.
Lotta people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well. When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
I’m actually a little afraid of the possibility of Wieters hitting a HR in his first AB. The collective orgasm that would follow such an event on this website and at Camden Yards would be frightening.
"Your wife told you to play in New York.
Well, my wife told me you look like a dork." Boo Teixeira guys.
Paradox
Is it possible for a Wieters-induced orgasm to frighten Wieters himself?

From Almost Famous
I work just as hard or harder than anybody on that stage. You know what I do? I connect. I get people off. I look for the guy who isn’t getting off, and I make him get off.
That’s Matt Wieters.

It'd be awesome if weiters hits 4 homers during every sunday game this year
weiters doesn’t believe in oriole sunday curses
everyone's going crazy about three wieters homeruns
but it would be Wieters-esque to draw four walks and steal three bases… that would be so much nicer to see
yes it would
we don’t want him to be a rally killer.

If my cable isn’t wrong then somehow FSN Detroit doesn’t have HD tonight despite having the game. What kind of malarky is this.
MASN 1 has the Nats game on
So we’re not getting HD either.

Makes me wish I was still a kid
I so wish I had an Orioles uniform to climb into right now. T-shirt and hat is not quite the same
Apparently only hd is delayed
when i was reading up on it, it said that the sd picture is the same or just ahead f the tv broadcast. However the high def(nex def) pic is delayed up to a minute, so no don’t follow the thread if you want to watch it in high def.. Personally, I ’ll take the high def and wait, cause 400k streams suck, i remember them from the spring..

You can switch between hi-def and standard on the fly
The delay is only on hi-def, but it is usually more like 2+ minutes
Same here
Lets hope this mlb. tv works fine.. Cant wait hal hour to go. Stopped raining here too!

I think this game would definitely have sold out
If conditions had been ideal; mid 70s with clear skies would have attracted a walk in crowd of 10K +.

And the walk in only would have been that small
Because 35,000ish tickets reportedly sold before this morning.

I hate to keep harping about angelos

He did.
The Marlins had a rotation under Girardi of Anibal Sanchez, Josh Johnson, Scott Olsen, Dontrelle Willis, and Ricky Nolasco. Three went under the knife the next season, the other two had their ERAs rise by over a full run. “Manager of the Year.”

I missed that.
From what I understand he’s really busted his ass and worked hard to try to figure out his issues.
Seems like a good dude to me
I’ve always been a fan
He signed a ball for me once
seemed genuinely nice

Did you see the way he was jerking about during that coaching trip to the mound?

Wieters is not going to be happy that Luke didn’t leave him any baserunners.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
That's what I'm saying
Luke should be ashamed.

I’m so pissed I didn’t start him this week in fantasy.
Can Wieters make it back-to-back Grand Slams?

His ownage of the Tigers has to be approaching historical proportions at this point.
Wieters is making solid contact
But I’d like to see him get that first hit monkey off his back.
in a wierd way!
Luke just ticked me off! lol
How dare Luke ruin it for Wieters!
He can’t compete for MBP on Wieters Day.
But…
I can only figure that he didn’t like how close the voting was last night.

The problem with these high alcohol brews is that they’re really sweet. And then add a bunch of raspberries and you really get a dessert beer. With 20% alcohol. It’s all a little too much.

Yep
I stick to the high single digit tripels and IPAs.
yeah
I really like Dogfish 60, 90, and 120 (especially 90), so I buy their other stuff, but it’s all so extreme. I like moderate-extreme, like 90 minutes or Victory Storm King Imperial Stout
Dogfish 90 is my joint
120 is nice but not as drinkable and silly expensive.
i used to be the same way
But I developed a serious hops addiction a year ago.
Any beer with "Hop" in the name
is something to avoid. People don’t like those beers, they’ve been fooled by that douchebag in the overalls and beard from the Sam Adams commericals.

Boddington's is fine
I like most well-made beers. Some of the super-experimental stuff doesn’t do that much for me, but I can be a hop-fiend one day and a fan of a nice crisp pilsner with only light hops, or a stout, or whatever seems to be hitting my fancy.

I prefer the Sunset Wheat, myself, but Leinenkugel is great stuff.
The variety pack is nice.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
Remember when the Oriole outfield
was Corey Patterson, Jay Gibbons, and David Newhan?
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
That was supposed to be
a “look how far they’ve come!” thing, not scald your eyes. My B.
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
I know.
It’s just hurts to even think about that outfield… My head almost exploded.
Jioe Flaacco, Hon!!! "He’s like a live JUGS machine."
The only positive thing I can say about those guys
is that Patterson was pretty cool on defense and that Newhan hit like .455 for two months when he was called up. And that’s it.
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
Nope.
Don’t remember that at all.

Gibby should be proud
that he was the best player in both of the worst Oriole outfields of all time….right? :P

Cal Abrams was way better than Gibby, Singleton, Cordova or any
of those other bums we mentioned. At least he was that year. 133 OPS+.
