Baltimore Orioles at Philadelphia Phillies, Jun 21, 2009 1:35 PM EDT
So, the big bad NL East, huh? I've been saying since the beginning of the season: Put the Baltimore Orioles in the AL Central, the NL Central or the NL West, and they're a .500 team. Maybe we can add the NL East to that list. Coming into today's game with a chance to sweep the Defending World Series Champions Philadelphia Phillies, the O's are 6-2 against the NL East in its last 8 games against the division. Yes, I purposefully left out the Nats' series. So sue me.
Point is, the O's, it can be argued, are a better team than their record would suggest. But maybe they're not. Maybe they are who they are, but who they are may be better than a substantial chunk of the NL.
Or maybe we've just gotten lucky in 3 series, and we hope it continues today. Whatever. Give give me a win, and I won't ask how. I am encouraged to see Nick Markakis finally get a day off (and coming before a day off, so that's a mini-vacation in MLB terms), and not thrilled that Aubrey Huff is getting a day off on the SAME day, and guess who's batting fifth? One hint, it ain't Nolan Reimold, since he's batting behind Brian Roberts today. And your second logical guess, Luke Scott, is batting cleanup. The O's lineup can be found here. It's not quite a forfeit lineup, since zaun isn't catching, but it's not optimal, either. Here's hoping Adam Jones breaks out of his slump and Robert Andino keeps giving Cesar Izturis something to worry about concerning job security.
And yes, I also avoided mentioning how bad Jeremy Guthrie has looked lately and the fact he's matched against Cole Hamels, who can be really, really good. Work with me, people.

Wieters is playing a day game?
Isn’t that kinda dangerous, seeing as how there will be a huge conflict between him and the sun?
Matt Wieters broke a bat last night. Nobody knows what happened to the ball.

another interesting lineup
not sure i care for this lineup. if hes gonna play with this lineup, he shoulda put salazar in at first to get playing time since its obvious diamond dave doesnt care about winning on sunday.

Your sn makes a lot of sense.
Your post does not.

I generally try to abstain from commenting on other teams' blogs
but I do love sifting through game threads to try and find the exact moment where hearts are broken because God knows we’ve had plenty of those moments ourselves, and it really makes me feel good to know that fans of other “good” teams feel the same way. The above comment is a great example. I can almost see the color draining from the faces of those commenters.

From Schmuck
It looks like Jeremy Guthrie will not have face Ryan Howard in today’s series finale against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. Ryan reportedly returned to the hospital after hitting a dramatic three-run pinch homer in last night’s game. He had gone to the hospital the night before with symptoms of severe dehydration.

Can I just say how much I want to strangle Buck this weekend?
Last night he spent the entire last three innings flogging the concept of Bergesen being exhausted from his 90-foot dash down the first base line in the top of the 7th. For God’s sake, I find it a little hard to believe that a pitcher (who runs every day for conditioning, as Buck himself asserted the night before) who has thrown 70 pitches in 6 innings would sprint down to first base, proceed to stand there while Roberts took a walk, jog down to second, and stand there while Markakis struck out, and that would completely blow him up and render him unable to throw to his target.
I turned on the game today and he WAS STILL TALKING ABOUT IT ARRGGHHH. Then last inning he suggested a hit and run with Mora on first and Wiggy at bat. For fuck’s sake…as stated earlier in this thread, no fucking wonder he’s not managing anywhere.
