GameThread: Boston Red Sox (87-59) at Baltimore Orioles (60-87), 7:05 PM, Arrrrrr!
Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles, Sep 19, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Avast mateys! It be time again for the Hatted Pink Masses to be crawlin' out o' the bunghole! Arrrrrrr!
Jon Lester be the bilge rat that's startin' fer them barnacles of the Bay State. The way he be handlin' the Orioles is not a fine t'ing at all, him havin' gone 9-0 against them fer his career. Three times this year alone, he be hoistin' the Jolly Roger o'er our landlubber Birds.
Blow me down! It's that scallywag Dave Hernanzdez shootin' the cannonballs for the Parrots Birds. He'll need to lob his fodder more sharply than he has in the past—him sportin' a 5.79 ERA against the Sox hordes this year—or shiver me timbers, Dave Trembley will hoist him on the yardarm! This be the one day that a matey shouldn't be surprised to see Captain Hook makin' an appearance!
Short of Luuuke's shot off the starboard side yesterday (a real beauty 'twere, me laddies), them Orioles basically be walkin' the plank against these swaggerin' invaders from the north. They'll need to play smartly if they want to be dancin' a hornpipe at th'end o' the day, Ayyyyyyy!
Enjoy the game, me hearties! This post be brought to you in honor o' International Talk Like A Pirate Day, yarrrrr!
An' to ye Jewish O's fans out thar, Shanah Tovah, mateys! -zk

LUKE. have you ever seen a streakier hitter with more polar opposites. his hot is unconscious, and his cold is pathetic, but either way, is this a guy that we want in our fuuuture? i dont really like him everday myself, but i guess he will be our every day DH 2010?

I can't believe I'm saying this but...
at the moment, who the hell IS a better option? Have you SEEN who we’re down to playing lately?
Jim Palmer: "I said to Nolan, 'Why do you run every ball out like that?' and he said, 'Why wouldn’t you?' "
That is a good point
considering what we have left. No, I would not want Andino, Screech, Pie, Chad, Izzy, New Aubrey, or Justin Turner hitting 5th. Maaaaaaaaaaybe Wiggy or Luuuke over Mora though. I am just so tired of having him hit behind Nick (or Nolan) and produce NOTHING.
Wieters would be good 5th too, but I like him 3rd for today anyway.
i would take
Screech, Pie, Izzy, or New Aubrey in front of Memlo
"I think my motivation is to see the other guys in the clubhouse. They’re contending for the playoffs, and when I see that it gets into my body. I play like it’s the playoffs too" —Memlo
Yeah, actually
I’d be okay (not happy, just okay) with New Aubrey or Pie… but any of them batting 5th (after Brian/Nick or Wieters/Nick, Nick/Nolan, whatever) just makes me uneasy. Oh well… next year, next year…
MASN needs to stop with that behind home plate camera with the pitch
No view whatsoever.

Painful MASN graphic
20 HR in David Hernandez’s last 10 starts. Which apparently only covers 42 innings.
And now all the annoying Sox fans woke up. Dammit.

July 29th What a GREAT day for pitching! Chris Tillman makes his MLB debut, and the Phillies get Cliff Lee, who just won a Cy young Award! SWEET!

I haven't
I’ve actually never been to Disneyland or Disneyworld in my lifetime. And I’m going to hold out as long as I can
Went to an Indigo Girls concert last year at the House of Blues in Anaheim, and that’s right up against the Disney complex.

And Matty hit a beautiful home run which all must watch, here: http://baltimore.orioles.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?content_id=6663479
WOW!
That was a great homer, thanks for the link! All the sports you get there are the paper or the worldwide leaders networks since disney owns them, and they almost never show o’s highlights

Does that save his ROY eligibility?
Or did he already play too many games this year?

Trembley should have walked Euk and used Castillo to try to get the DP from Ortiz, but obviously with this bullpen it really doesn’t matter. They need to scrap Albers, and the rest of them – keep Johnson and Koji and maybe Ray and Hendrickson, and then go get some new arms. They should sign Wagner – they are exempt from having to give up a first rounder and not many teams will give him the guarantee of being a closer that he wants. He’ll give them a year or two while they see if someone like Ray or Hernandez can step up
he was in trouble a lot, but he get wriggling out of it.

Well...sort of...
I mean just because a guy makes an error doesn’t mean you have to give up HRs to everybody.
haha mcshitty you are so bad.
It’s almost hard to believe that somebody with as good an arm as you is as bad as you are.
