PrintToronto Blue Jays at Baltimore Orioles, Jul 10, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Bet you didn't know the Orioles are 4 games over .500 at home.
Bet you didn't know the Orioles are closer to the Blue Jays than the Blue Jays are to 3rd place Tampa Bay.
Bet you didn't know the Blue Jays' starter tonight is a University of Maryland alumni who's from Dunkirk, MD.
Bet you did know Jason Berken hasn't won a game since his debut.
Bet you did know I ran out of ideas for this GameThread about 3 sentences ago.

Did you know that Cito still sucks?

"Matt Wieters Adopted Mark Texiera's Parents Because He Felt They Needed A Son To Be Proud Of."
Yeah, but his sister just died
so I’ll cut him slack this weekend.

Guthrie isn't ok
Still sick, so not pitching on Sunday

Yup, announced in Trembley's presser this afternoon
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
No, lower WHIP
ERA is 0.02 higher. Not like that’s a huge difference, though.

I did know the first 2 things
but I search for things to hold onto, and those are things.
Matt Wieters can get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop in under one lick.
Nice inning.

Is there any footage or pics
of him hiding behind the police officer in the tunel in Seattle, still trying to coach the game?
That would be funny

Have they anounced the AL contestants for the Home run derby?
I saw somewhere Adam wanted to do it…that would be cool to see
No, they haven't
I’m guessing the rest of the league dropped out when Adam said he wanted to.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Inge and Mauer so far.

Ask Bobby Abreu how that worked out.
Or Josh Hamilton last year.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
i love this argument
happens every july
classic unprovable theory
sure sign that summer is here
might as well tell me there’s a unicorn in my bathroom
Oh, I'm capable of much worse than this
As last year’s All-Star HR Derbey thread should remind you.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
We may not get a hit
but damn, even with 3 batters, we made Cecil throw a hell of a lot of pitches.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
I'd be fine with a couple of walks
Cecil is all over the place, we need to keep our bats on our shoulders until he starts throwing some strikes

I do believe......
Jason Berken does not want to go back to Norfolk. And he’s showing that desire.
Keep it up, Jason. Make the decision MacPhail has to make hard.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
These, these are some quality pitches from Mr. Berken.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Braun AND Fielder?
Even if you get Halladay, how the hell do you score enough runs if you trade those two away?
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Ir I’m Jays, hell yeah. The brewwer have to be nuts do that. Braun is a stud, cheap, and under control for many seasons. Gallardo is no Holladay but he’s quite good and cheap. Rios is a bad contract. If the Brewers want Halladay, they start with Escobar and build a package from there.
"Your wife told you to play in New York.
Well, my wife told me you look like a dork." Boo Teixeira guys.
interesting. i just think the jays may want to dump rios in a halladay deal. trying to figure out what they could get back.
so the stache is gone
he might have gotten a hit if he still had it
The hell were you swinging at that, Aubrey?

I hate rooting against a UMd guy
but I want the Os to win more, so, Mr. Cecil, it’s time to start sucking.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
This just in
Melvin Mora has a TWO GAME hit streak!!!
Thanks, MASN
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
That's not a streak
I’d say he’s hit in two games in a row….I mean only d’bags say things like “we have a two game win streak” but “we’ve won two games in a row” is acceptable

Did you know...
Matt Wieters is batting .300 over the last month. I didn not know that until today.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
If Cecil doesn't throw strikes to Izturis
he seriously needs to find another line of work.

I didn’t know the O’s were THAT BAD at bat when Berken pitched. Geez.

Let's come up with something else
Just to keep it ineteresting.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Jason Berken must really like his apartment in Baltimore
and doesn’t want to move back to Norfolk. These have been 4 pretty good innings.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
46 pitches through 4
2 3-ball counts
not bad at all

good day for luke so far
hopefully someone else can help him out
I'm begining to think
first team to score wins 1-0.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
And Blue Jays getting the lead runner on doesn't help our odds.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Luke Scott's lead is halfway to 3rd...
NOBODY is anywhere near the bag.

Adam, you turned the wrong way!
Paul Blair is in the house. Paul, pay him a visit after the game.

I think it's time to start the dishes
Jason Berken, I do believe you can rent U-Hauls pretty cheap in the Great Baltimore area.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
It's been an ok start already
pretty sure it’s a hell of a lot better than Hill will do tomorrow, if he had another K or two it’d be good.

3rd base coach should probably tell Chavez to not do that ever again.
Since he’s a catcher and all.

I know I should be depressed about 2-0 in the 6th
but this lead feels insurmountable. And given th eevidence of the last 2 weeks, you’d think I wouldn’t. But I just don’t see it happening.

My last game at OPACY before I move. I am going to be drunk and emotional.

5.2 IP 2 ER, 2 on.
Not bad, but I think Diamond Dave wanted to see better. Then again, if the O’s are up 4-2, I bet Kranitz lets him stay in.

And does his job.
I’ll check back in 10 or so to see if anyone else is left in here.

I cut him from my fantasy team ages ago (it's a shallow league, only 8 teams)
his plate discipline is almost non existant, some people think his june slump is over, but his slugging % is still way down, I hope he gets hot in the second half, but he hasn’t shown any reason to think that will happen his K/BB is pretty bad
by wishEYEhadCRABS on Jul 10, 2009 9:19 PM EDT up reply actions
Speaking of his slugging
I cannot remember his last HR…
by John Stephens on Jul 10, 2009 9:20 PM EDT up reply actions
Of course
as soon as I cut him he at least started getting hits again, but I added Werth who it seems hits a homer almost every game…
His last homer was 6/13, and then you have to go all the way back to 5/26 and then from there if you keep going back he was actually f’ing awesome…but over the last month and a half he’s been mediocre
by wishEYEhadCRABS on Jul 10, 2009 9:25 PM EDT up reply actions
Cause he swings at shit. Reimold need to teach him how to work a count.
by John Stephens on Jul 10, 2009 9:27 PM EDT up reply actions
Someone should make him just not swing for a whole game
to see what happens, I bet he’d get at least one or two walks…

1 hit

Actually I did know #3! He played in the CRSCBL a summer collegiate baseball league. I follow this league and have been following Brett Cecil scince his first start in the majors!
R.I.P. Nick Adenhart
I picked a good night to teach my mother how to score
Nothing hard. Very boring game. Two runs. No sacrifices.
I picked a bad game to go to for the last game I’ll see with my brother before he moves to LA :( .
Give me credit though, I was only 36 hours without wisdom teeth,
The stock market will never recover, our armies will never again be #1, and our children will drink filthy water for the rest of their lives - HST
