Baltimore Orioles at Oakland Athletics, Jun 5, 2009 10:05 PM EDT
Another series against another titan of the league. Game time is 10:05.
I always remember Dallas Braden because in 2007 he made his Major League debut against the O's (April 24) and went six innings, allowing three hits and one earned with a walk and six strikeouts.
You know what he did the rest of that season? Went 0-8. Wound up with a 6.72 ERA. For his career he's 3-1 with a 1.33 ERA against the Birds.

Keep on sticking Mora in the five spot, Dave
It’ll work eventually.

I understand that we’re facing a lefty, and although Wigginton has been better than Felix this season against southpaws, that isn’t saying much as his line is still terrible vs. LHP, and Pie needs the ABs more anyway.

Izzy out, and it MIGHT be a while....
Utilityman Robert Andino is in tonight’s starting lineup and Cesar Izturis is nowhere to be found in the visiting lockerroom in Oakland. According to beat reporter Jeff Zrebiec, he apparently has come down with some kind of stomach ailment and has gone to a local hospital for treatment. Manager Dave Trembley is expected to comment on the situation when he meets with reporters there in a few minutes.
It could be a real setback if it turns out to be a significant issue. There has been some talk out there that he exhibited the symptoms of appendicitis, which could sideline him for weeks. But that’s just scuttlebutt.

"Matt Wieters Adopted Mark Texiera's Parents Because He Felt They Needed A Son To Be Proud Of."
Gotta be Turner
There is nobody else who can even remotely play a major league shortstop/backup middle infielder role.
Not that I have a lot of faith in Justin Turner, but still
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.
Wasn't one of the two hurt recently?
"I don't have a hit-and-run sign, and I believe it's the worst play in baseball." - Earl Weaver
By which I mean
Turner and Christian, then I remembered Christian is an OF. Didn’t Turner get hurt? I vaguely remember an Os middle infielder turning an ankle….
"I don't have a hit-and-run sign, and I believe it's the worst play in baseball." - Earl Weaver
Turner's been doing alright lately.

Last Friday, I saw a dude at Oriole Park in a #15 Wieters jersey. Took some real balls (and not much brains) to buy that before he was even called up…

On the bright side, we’ve got Melvin Mora batting 5th.

Everything just needs to be put in perspective
We knew going into this season that we were going to be bad once again, and having three fringey prospects come up and pitch decently shouldn’t have changed anything.

At least
I won’t feel bad about going to bed early tonight
Jioe Flaacco, Hon!!! "He’s like a live JUGS machine."
Braden is definitely on tonight
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
Of course
He’s facing us.
"The United States is the New York Yankees of countries...powerful and respected until the year 2000." - Homer J. Simpson
Yeah let's not go tipping our hat to yet another starter who's dominating us.
At some point you gotta look in the mirror.
Watch his pitches
He’s on.

Branden's changeup is nasty
And his balls are breaking very well. Our lineup is obviously not performing right now, but we’re facing a pitcher who is throwing very well.
I’m not saying that we shouldn’t at least get a few runs, my comment was just that Branden looks good tonight.

If Wieters was hitting
Then all of his would definitely be tolerable.

We actually don't have a front line starter currently on our roster
Keep on drafting those pitchers.

At this rate
We’re going to need to buy pitchers as well.

If anyone knows who MGMT is...
Something more disturbing than this game is their ‘Kids’ video:

Tim Graham
The way I take it...
The kid things that everyone besides his mother and the band are monsters—the baby’s view of the world.
Still weird as shit.
Something Magic Happens...
Tim Graham
That's a good tune
But it’s a terrible video.
If you want a good laugh, track down a video of them being interviewed. And it’s not intentionally hilarious.
"Take on Me" - a-ha
All of their videos/songs attempt to be so indie in every sense of the word

ah…who am I kidding. I’m watching the game.

Murphy?
Not a fan. If it really WAS Eddie Murray, that’d be something to watch.

Ugh. I hate losing on Friday night, because it effectively means they lose the series.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
How did Wieters reach?

"The United States is the New York Yankees of countries...powerful and respected until the year 2000." - Homer J. Simpson
Not what I expected when I asked Wiki about Guthrie...
Guthrie was born in Roseburg, Oregon and grew up in Ashland, Oregon, attending Ashland High School, where he was class valedictorian. Then he attended Brigham Young University before transferring to Stanford University, where he was a starting pitcher. At Stanford, he studied sociology; he continues to pursue his degree in the offseason. Guthrie served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Spain.1 He currently lives in Arizona with his wife Jenny and his daughter Avery and son, Hudson. 2
