O's look to avoid the sweep, and hopefully Jeremy Guthrie will be up to the task. I haven't lost faith in him yet. Sadly I won't be here to see it as I have big plans to see the Beyonce movie.

highlights of the review:
“I’d like to call Obsessed a miserable failure, but that would imply this lazy waste of time had some sort of goal it failed to reach. It has nothing. No purpose, no drive, no direction. It just shiftlessly ambles forward buoyed by the assumption everyone will stop to watch a catfight, especially one involving Beyonce Knowles and Ali Larter. I did stop to soak it all in, a few million others will likely do the same, but like me, they’ll leave marveling a movie can feel so empty, useless and pathetic.”
“the most lifeless work of art I have ever encountered”
“I hated every last god-forsaken thing about this depthless copout.”
No, i just remember seeing it on the internet a few days ago
Probably one of the harshest movie reviews I’ve read
Whatever I loved it
It won’t win any Oscars but it’s not supposed to. It was mind candy. And eye candy, hello Idris Elba!
I’m smart, not a dummy. ~Adam Jones
I meant to mention that I was curious to hear what you thought
Thats probably the most scathing reviews I’ve ever read, i had a hard time believing it was that bad. Like you said not every movie is going to win an Oscar, but it sounded like that guy wanted to have them arrested just for making the movie.
I wonder what the fine for swinging at the first pitch is...
It’s obviously not high enough.

Cy Young Richmond
Let’s not let that happen today. I feel good about this game folks. Baysox are rained out and I am pumped for a big game from Guts

Lou Montanez
Damn did not know he hurt his thumb that bad. Nice diving catch though

They should have replaced the turf a long time ago
I don’t think they’ve updated it since the SkyDome opened.
Commissioners office protects Umps
But will not make the Jays replace a dangerous turf.

Or make the O's update their minor league facility so other teams will play there.

The Jays have wait staff for the home plate box
On friday I just thought that chick wouldn’t sit down already
i'm not sure what i'm watching these days
and i’m not sure why …. wtf is with the orioles do they just want to lose 120 games?
In my opinion
The best DH in the league. He is tough
"They are who we thought they were"-Dennis Green
I want them to keep this kid
In the lineup. Play him and have Sweet Swinging Lou come off the bench. This could work
"They are who we thought they were"-Dennis Green
scott doesn't suck...
but he is a little exposed as an every day player.

What's up with Roberts?
He is having a good year but not so good with men in scoring position. The first ball swinging stuff ain’t working.
"They are who we thought they were"-Dennis Green
Seems like everybody's first pitch hacking today
I guess when you’re up against a “strike thrower” that seems like it may be a good idea. Except it’s not worked for most of the guys yet.

Good Grief
O’s hitters got this guy looking like Bob Gibson.
"They are who we thought they were"-Dennis Green
I hope Guts is taking notes
Cy Richmond is pumping strikes and daring the hitters to beat him. Not walking anyone. Great concept.
"They are who we thought they were"-Dennis Green
Lord have mercy
What is wrong with Dempsey. He and Hunter are killing me today.
"They are who we thought they were"-Dennis Green
dempsey's problem...
is apparently that he never got told to shut up when he was a kid. sweet jesus.

In re: to the original post
No one should be giving up on Guthrie! He got off to a slow start last year, and ended up having a very good season. Barring injury, he should be fine.
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
No one is giving up on Guts by no means. I like the guy. Sound pitcher
With the stuff he has I don’t want to see him “nibbling” and walking guys. He throws to many damn pitches for a guy with heat in the mid 90s.
"They are who we thought they were"-Dennis Green
Arrieta, Matusz,
etc. should help. And by league ERA+ standards, Guthrie was a pretty solid No. 2 the last two years.

When we got two men on I knew we would not score
This is the story of the season no one wants to address at the warehouse
"They are who we thought they were"-Dennis Green
I will say this for Pie
He’s gotten more selective about the pitches he takes and the ones he swings at. What’s his BABIP? I seem to recall it’s really low, indicating bad luck more than bad performance.
by perpetualstudent on May 3, 2009 2:09 PM EDT reply actions
this is true...
his BABIP (iirc) was sub .200!
"If they pitch to you, make them pay."
--Diamond Dave to the Phenom
I hope there's someone explaining this to him
lest he get too down on himself.

This umpire says "Up yours" every time he calls a strike

yeah
not exactly the matchup i’d like to see live (i’ll be at the game).. but oh well.

Guthrie tossed his hat into the stands
after a previous inning where he gave up a dinger.

I was just wondering
whether the umpires are ever evaluated for their pitch-calling ability, because goodness, they’ve made a lot of bad calls this year.

C'mon Fatboy
show your moderate utility as a power bat. SHOW IT

I feel a little disgusted
the Os hitters seemed to be going through the motions the last few innings. Just goin’ up there hacking. Terrible

Vacation relief umpires suck ass.
Richmond should have had about 3 more BBs on the day than he did.

Well, that was fast.
I guess I can get back to putting off writing my final exams.
by perpetualstudent on May 3, 2009 3:26 PM EDT reply actions
Mediocre would be if Guthrie was out after the 6th there...
That was a good start, and one that he’d win at least 60% of the time.

So I guess
I mean, so, I guess we… I mean… the team… with the losing… I mean it gets… discouraging…
But we can build on, uh, oh to hell with it.

What happened?
I wasn’t watching.
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
She was just asking him a question
and her voice seemed a little distressed.. kinda odd.
But nothing happened.
After my "meltdown" of anger with the O's play last Sunday
My expectations are low. Nothing they do anymore surprises or angers me. I observe, comment and move on.
What I do know is this team can not hit in the clutch or with men on base. There is a mental block of failure that has set in when men are on base. Fear of failure I guess. But it is there.
Opposing pitchers are checking the schedule to ensure they get a shot at this O’s lineup. Especially on Sundays. Do you blame them?

As far as Trembley getting tossed
The word has probably gotten out about Walker’s comments toward “Blindman” Hernandez. Thus there is no respect for our hitters or pitchers. We should expect more bad calls going our way until we start punishing some teams at the plate and gaining our respect back

On the other hand, it's been pleasant watching the Rays hand the Sawx their lunch again.
‘Tek has been particularly impressive against steals, throwing one ball well into center field, playfully tossing another one straight up in front of the home plate ump’s mask [!] and refusing to throw at all once. A Rays track meet, basically. Meanwhile, Ortiz looks bewildered at the plate. Youkilis’ fly ball in the 8th drifted out to make it 4-3, sounding considerably closer than the game was. Which is no doubt a great comfort to Sawx fenz.
Penny did a pretty good Sid-with-a-goatee imitation: a rounded mound of good heat and good stuff…for a good loss. Shields went 7 1/3 and looked v. good beating him.
Wanna know who the Sawx daddy is? In his last 50 AB’s vs. Boston prior to today, Longoria has had 7 doubles and 8 HRs. Holy crap.
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
5-3 Rays final. Six [6] steals for Crawford-- a franchise record, not surpsingly, and it ties the modern MLB record.
Ho-hum, Rays take 3 outta 4 from their favorite beech-iss. Eat poop, Sawx. Again.

What the heck was hhhhthat??!!
A general question pertaining to everytime my beloved baby Birds take the field. Once again to reiterate… The Baltimore Orioles are not good t what it is they do
John tonight let it be Lowenstein
