Buchholz has been on a tear of late, and has generally dominated the Orioles over his career, including his famous no-hitter when he came up. Also, the Sawx are 13-2 against the Birds this year, so I can't really think of many reasons why you should watch this game. On the plus side, the Orioles faced Buchholz on August 2nd and cleaned his clock (7R, 9H in 4IP).
Defending the honor of Charm City will be Mr. Guthrie, whi has put together a string of impressive starts after a mostly awful year. Oh, except for his most recent start, when he got his a** handed to him in Yankee Stadium this past Sunday.
If you DO decide to watch this game, may I suggest you accompany it with some type of libation? It just might make things a little more bearable for you; perhaps at the very least it will help you to tune out the legions of douchebag PHN fans whom you will hear in the stands today..
Go O's! -zk

I'd like to punch every person in either
a pink Sox hat or it’s dude-equivalent green Twins franchise cap with the damned shamrock on the back.

I really have a problem with the fans of the team from Boston!

I hope that was the result of a lost bet or something.

That’s a little unfair. That game was well within reach when Guthrie left. Here’s the CC recap:
Jeremy Guthrie got knocked around a bit but controlled the damage pretty well, and then the Yankees feasted on two pitchers (Chris Waters and Bob McCrory) who have no business being in the major leagues.

5 runs in 5-1/3 IP
… does not qualify as being effective. IMHO.

The question is...
Should we even bother showing up today?
He makes it through one unscathed
Maybe Brooks Robinson in the booth was good luck.

Nice to see Nicky have a good AB for the first time in a while.
Why the fuck is Gutz walking “papi” on 4 pitches???
Yeah, that was pretty bad
I was thinking we might have a chance to cut down the run… then I saw where the first bounce was.

That was a bad AB.
Take a cockshot fastball for strike one. Take a bad high curve ball for strike two. Swing at a nasty change up low and away to ground out. Ugh.
And that is a HOME RUN!

LUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!!!!
Joe Flacco's eyebrows have been charged with several penalties this season, most for acting as an "ineligible receiver downfield".
After Jeter retires we might have to change it to "Pedroiad"

My god. These pitches are just sitting in the middle of the plate.
He got so lucky with Ortiz and Yuck.
Yeah, there's a weird echo kind of thing
Not exactly an echo, but something.

What VMart doing??
He set up 5 inches off the plate inside – Buckholz hit the glove. What did he expect to happen?
D'oh
Hey Brian…when the guy ahead of you gets on base by way of a four pitch walk, don’t swing at the first pitch.
"Whether your name is Gehrig or Ripken, DiMaggio or Robinson, or that of some youngster who picks up his bat or puts on his glove, you are challenged by the game of baseball to do your very best day in and day out. That's all I've ever tried to do."
Looked outside to me

Wow. Everyone's gone, huh?

I tuned out after the 5th
cockail hour out here on the west coast, y’know? Also Guts was looking way to hittable. Nothing on his pitches. We got to see one nice defensive play at the plate to nail Pedroia, but other than that nothing to see really.
