Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Gamethread: Orioles (60-90) @ Blue Jays (67-83), 7:07 PM

Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays, Sep 22, 2009 7:07 PM EDT


Mark Hendrickson will impersonate a starting pitcher. Nick Markakis will look cool. Matt Wieters will turn the gatorade into wine. Dave Trembley will use 7 pitchers no matter how unnecessary. Brian Roberts will lollygag his way to first base. Melvin Mora will make sad faces. Luke Scott will praise the Lord. Felix Pie will be adorable. Jim Johnson will doze off during O Canada. Cesar Izturis will continue to be shocked over batting in the two hole. Hopefully somewhere in between all of that the Orioles will manage to win a game.


W-LERAWHIPKBB
2009 - Mark Hendrickson 5-5 4.47 1.50 55 27

W-LERAWHIPKBB
2009 - Brian Tallet 7-9 5.31 1.51 111 70

Wish I could. But prior engagements.

Hey, let's keep Markakis on the bench

Why not? Dude needs a day off. Of course, he probably wouldn’t be scuffling so bad if you’d rested him at any point in the last FIVE MONTHS, Dave-o.

If our remaining relievers keep only going 2/3 of an inning

we’re going to run out of pitchers.
Maybe DD is saving Markakis to pitch the 15th?

LOL

We should trot Matusz out there for 5 innings just to screw with the Jays…. lol

If Adam Loewen came up to bat

We should plunk him on principle.

hahahahaha that was such a bad pitch

sarfate’s arm obviously isn’t recovered from surgery.

Really?

I just checked in now and didn’t catch the whole game, but i find it hard to believe that you could be at all surprised that we lost, no matter how we pulled it off.

by kba26 on Sep 22, 2009 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

I was convinced.

Yes, we could have scored a few more runs, but it was really the bullpen’s fault. In hindsight, I guess I shouldn’t have been that surprised, but yeah… I thought we had this one.

yea but the stars had seemingly aligned for a bit

hendo gave us 6 good innings. phat albers actually pitched a decent inning…

by twistedlogic on Sep 22, 2009 10:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

haha yea

but not for no reason. with hendo starting and the game going 11, id have figured we’d use a lot more than 7

by twistedlogic on Sep 22, 2009 10:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

ugh

I bet Nickie can’t either
and really? I would have thought it would be more since we went into extra innings. That Dave, he likes the number 7

i love sucking...

i cannot wait to get rid of mora, scott, wigs (although the last 2 might stay next year too).

Trying to hit off me is like trying to eat soup with chopsticks.

ADIH for the o's

well g2g….very bz. c u 2moro AFAICT

by twistedlogic on Sep 22, 2009 10:34 PM EDT reply actions  

Right

So I missed the game. I, uh, had stuff to do.

Reading the box…5 runs on 15 hits, huh?
Pitches-strikes – M Hendrickson 68-44…6IP 2ER? Good job there.
And Wieters 3-5…I’m about to start my Wieters ROY campaign, seriously. So Andrus is a valuable defender?
