..and then THAT happened.
O's filling up the loss column -- baltimoresun.com
Connolly at the Sun: With yesterday's loss to Detroit, the Orioles (43-65) are now at their worst record at the 108 game mark (2/3 of the way through the season) since the 1991 campaign: a year in which they finished with 95 losses.
MLB.com: News
Guthrie apologizes to reporters for shutting them out on Wednesday.
Rick Dempsey - MASNsports.com
The Dipper BELIEVES in the Orioles.
Cumberland Times-News - Small markets feeling huge for football
Mike Burke waxes realistic about how the "wall of summer" has finally arrived for both the Orioles and the Pirates, and has a sort of "who's going to stink it up worse" analysis for the remaining games (with Cleveland thrown in for good measure.)
Fantasy blogs are abuzz about Tillman and Matusz. See here and here.
Short Hops: Matusz takes smart road to big leagues - MLB - CBSSports.com Baseball
Scott Miller notes that while Aaron Crow holds out for more money (first from the Nationals, now from Kansas City), some guy named Matusz who was drafted 5 spots in front of him is already in the majors. Maybe a lesson there, both for Crow and for Steven Strasburg.
Erbe Unhittable As Baysox Cruise - OurSports Central - Independent and Minor League Sports News
Brandon Erbe threw 8 innings of no-hit ball for the Baysox last night. No real word on why he wasn't allowed to start the ninth, but one assumes his pitch count was way up at that point.
Gholson: In the Nick of Time (Aug. 7) : Columnists : Times Record News
Don Larsen pitched a perfect game in the 1956 World Series. But in his last season with the Orioles before being traded to the Yankees, he was 3-21.
Chen picks up rare victory for Royals - USATODAY.com
Despite giving up 10 hits and a walk, ex-Oriole Bruce Chen got his first win in nearly four years, as KC beat the Mariners 8-2.
Finally, it has nothing to do with the Orioles, but I'm a huge Mad Men fan, so..... The season opening episode (airing August 16) is entitled Out of Town and is set in Baltimore; it will feature a number of 1960s landmarks such as Haussner's and the Belvedere Hotel.

To be fair
We did get Gus Triandos out of the deal, and he was one of the great power-hitting catchers of his time.

"We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow." ~ Earl Weaver
Did they use that as a lyric?
That’s disappointing. I knew them before they were signed, they used to make the rounds at house parties in Annapolis. They’d stay stone cold sober & mix drinks for everyone else. They’re good guys – or at least they were. Never was into their music, though.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
One of the two madden guys said it in an interview
I was looking for the article but can’t find it. Which ever one said it, later said he was refering to the fact that they lived in some rough spots briefly as young adults, either way I just don’t like thier music
"We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow." ~ Earl Weaver
Ahh...
Moving there intentionally after you leave home doesn’t count. You’re not “from” there. They did get jobbed by their dad. But “rough streets”… yeah, no.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
speaking of Nap-town
I do like Jimmie’s Chicken Shack, I saw Jimi Haha walking down the street when I was at Rams Head
"We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow." ~ Earl Weaver
Talk about a band that exploded onto the scene & then disappeared just as fast!
I bumped into Che at a house party in Naptown maybe 5 years ago. He was all kinds of unhappy about the way things went down with the Shack. Too much Jimi, I think.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
Yeah I thought they were gonna be big
they had regular airplay on all radio stations and MTV and then boom! gone.
"We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow." ~ Earl Weaver
I live in Naptown
and really, where the hell are all these great parties? are they in the super rich neighborhoods?
Joel and Benjie can be sighted all over Maryland though. I’ve seen them at Marley Station mall, walking around. Looking like mall-rats except with like two dozen teenage girls around them.

Oh, and that wasn't them that said that directly, Hilary Duff said it.
"He's a gazelle." -Adam Jones on Nolan Reimold.
Yes and no, She said they were from "the ghetto"
then back tracked by saying they lived in bad parts of baltimore(I know how wikipedia works). The one I am remembering, it said they were from the rough parts of DC(which Waldorf isn’t)
"We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow." ~ Earl Weaver
I don't recall them EVER saying those words.
They are total kidders. If they ever did say something like that, which I don’t recall them doing, I assume they were probably kidding.

Don’t give me this snobby “know-it-all” music talk
I happen to like O.A.R. and their songs. Don’t really need you to rain on my parade.
by John Stephens on Aug 7, 2009 10:02 AM EDT up reply actions
There's nothing snobby about it.
What exactly does this mean:
Well we went out late that night and we danced through the night
I was holding on to her and she was gripping me tight
But I didn’t care, and she didn’t mind
I was unaware that she liked to act so kind,
My friends say she’s crazy and I agree,
But that’s okay cause that’s the way I like to be
First, you rhymed “night” with “night”. Ouch.
Secondly, all throughout the song he says that people say the both of them are crazy – but they never give any example of any behavior that could even remotely be called “crazy”. (What, the whole “she likes to read & I like to write” thing? INSANE!!!)
Third, what’s so kind about gripping you tightly? And why would she mind that she was gripping you tightly?
It doesn’t make any f*cking sense whatsoever. And yet it gets played on the radio all the time.
Jesus H. Christ it’s like a ballpeen hammer between the eyes.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
If you want music to make sense
You should probably stop listening all together. The majority of musicians lyrics are nonsense. The majority of the stuff The Beatles wrote was non-sensical, high on LSD stuff. Who cares?
If you are searching for some in-depth answer to life in your lyrics, good for you. Go do that. I just do not get why you gotta bring me down, when I was simply asking if anyone was going to the concert. If you have nothing nice to say, you shoulda just skipped over this thread.
Also, am I insane or did he rhyme night with tight?
by John Stephens on Aug 7, 2009 10:17 AM EDT up reply actions
Hrm.
And there’s a difference between nonsensical as in “open to personal interpretation” and non-sensical as in, “that flat out doesn’t make any sense”.
“I am the Walrus” is clearly rife with symbolism & innuendo. You can glean all kinds of different meanings from it, depending on your perspective.
“she was holding me tight but she didn’t mind” … Huh? “Mind” and “kind” rhyme. That’s the only reason they’re together. Which is crappy songwriting.
As for bringing you down & raining on your parade… what, are you new to the intertubes?
We all have different opinions, man. Don’t let mine sway you one way or the other. This is a discussion board & I’m just giving my take on a discussion. If you don’t want to talk about it that’s fine. You can go enjoy your milquetoast music & have a great Friday. ;-) Peace.

The difference there is that Slayer is legitimately awesome

It seems to be a breach of ettiquette to end a no hitter
But I’m sure as he was removed the manager told him something like “you’ll have your chance someday” , like in the majors.

"The United States is the New York Yankees of countries...powerful and respected until the year 2000." - Homer J. Simpson
Quote from Erbe on the almost no hitter
“The coaches said they were sorry. I threw a lot of pitches. I spent a month on the DL. To come back and be feeling good is the main concern,” said Erbe, a third-round pick in 2005. “I owe that entire game to my defense. From the second inning, guys were making great plays. Games like that don’t happen without a great defense.”
…
“I was thinking about (a no-hitter),” he said. “Don’t let anybody ever tell you they’re not thinking about it.”
I will lead these Peoples to the promised land, also known as "Slightly Ahead of the Blue Jays." ~WietersRunDry
I'd be pissed.
What if his next start his damn arm falls off? He’s not going to be needed to help win a pennant or anything. I know, I know…team game and all but F that S. I’d go all Memlo on their ass if they pulled me after 8 innings of no hit ball.

Per the Mad Men Link
My H.S. senior prom was at the Belvedere. I’ve never watched Mad Men, but I may have to check that out.
"The United States is the New York Yankees of countries...powerful and respected until the year 2000." - Homer J. Simpson
I used to live at the Belvedere.
8th floor, corner condo, vista views looking south on Charles Street. I miss that view.
The only negative was that I was there when that dude took a header off the roof, through the ceiling of the conference room below & was missing for a week. I saw the hole in the roof & made a mental note to tell maintenance about it, got caught up in work & then went on vacation. I could have saved his family a week’s worth of anguish.

I've looked at a couple of condos in there.
I’d love to move in there, but $340 and up for condo fees is beyond my budget.
1933 was a bad year

So tonight, I'm headed here for the weekend:
Anyone else like boardgames? I mostly play Settlers of Catan and the board game version of Railroad Tycoon, but also have a ton of others. My brother and I, who are boardgame freaks, have both taught our significant others to play Settlers and they love it.
Well I do love Scrabble
And even though I’d only rate myself as an “average” player, no one will play with me because I usually win. I think it has more to do with people leaving the triple word score open for me to exploit than actual skill.
Most people underestimate the defensive aspect of scrabble
I generally only play 4 or 5 letter words at most, but try to get them packed in as tight as i can to avoid leaving openings. Most my boards end up looking more like boggle than scrabbble.
I play a lot of scrabble as well.
I prefer the site ISC.ro, which is free, although you have to download the small wordbiz program to use it. Its a good worldwide site with mostly players of above average caliber.
I am also on facebook, although that scrabble game is kinda crummy.
You can find me at facebook.com/senatorrosewater. Send me a message to let me know who you are and we can play. I tend to favor a more open board playing style, but can also build staircases and blocks if that’s the way it has to be.

We sit on the back
porch and play cranium over several drinks. That’s always a good laugh.
Don't let the sunshine fool ya. - Townes Van Zandt
So I'm gonna get all sexist for a moment
but we (me, gf, bro, and his fiance) also do that, and the girls always cheat. They cheat at almost every game we play. Is this a universal occurance or did we just choose poorly?
We (the guys)
kick the girl’s ass nearly every time. They always wanna play guys/girls and we always dominate.
We overlook a certain amount of cheating from the women but’s it’s mostly b/c we always win. If the script was flipped we’d raise hell over the cheating.
My favorite is when you are supposed to draw with your eyes closed and I’ll look over and one of them will be squinting while drawing. Or just flat out write the word down instead of drawing a pic.

I think everyone does that to some extent, its hard not to look. you really need a blindfold if your going to take it seriously.
I always lose at Cranium, no matter whose team I'm on
I don’t know why, because I’m pretty good at everything but never know any of the music. But when we play Scene-It, they make me go around the board twice and I can’t play with a partner I still win about a third of the time.
I think another factor
is that my brother and I take shit too seriously and the girls just want to have fun.
so Cyndi Lauper WAS right!

Don't let the sunshine fool ya. - Townes Van Zandt
If you have a 360, you can play it on the arcade
I think you can play online some places, too. That’s probably the best way to get started, because the game costs about $40 and you can only play with 3-4 people. But if you know a few others who like that sort of thing, it’d be a good investment.
I saw Barnes and Noble has it so I may go invest. We’re always looking for something to do in the winter. We play a lot of liverpool rummy though. That’s about my favorite way to pass the tiem.

Coming rotation
I’m trying to guess the rotation for early next week. Tonight is Berken, right? That means the following?
Fri – Berken
Sat – Tillman
Sun – Matusz
Mon – Guthrie
Tue – Hernandez
Wed – Berken
Any word on Bergesen? I have a slot to go to a Mon, Tue, Wed game. Those probables are not very exciting. I was hoping to see Tillman, Matusz, or Bergesen. Looks like it’s not in the cards.
Supposedly
Berken has worked on some things in his bullpen sessions, he claims he is pretty confident now. If he continues to struggle though i have to imagine Dave will cut him out of the rotation at least when Bergey comes back.
