he's so cute
I hate that I can’t listen or watch. Stupid work computer with its stupid inability for Gameday Audio.
On the plus side I just found out my new boss is a huge O’s fan. I told her I was taking off Tuesday the 6th and Friday the 9th without saying why and she replied, “Let’s Go O’s!”
I originally took off Tuesday because I thought it would be a day game and I wanted to watch it, but I figure I’ll just take the whole day anyway to gear up.

The only thing I'm worried about with Matusz
Is that this spring will get our (my) hopes unrealistically high. Because right now, I’m thinking Cy Young and ROY.

I must say
I like it when he does that. That at least shows that someone has fire on the Orioles. Sometimes I see no fucking emotion on the bases or in the dugout. I like to see fire, personally

You need that in a team. Especially a team leader like BRob of Markakis should be more fired up.

Yeah, I think we need a couple of guys like that.
Bergy’s kinda like that, too, when he pounds his glove and the like. Which is kinda interesting, a control/finesse pitcher who still has some fire.

I'm enjoying the false dualism in the Cards' booth
If the Cardinals didn’t sign Holliday, they’d be cheap.
If they do sign Holliday, then they paid too much.
The broadcasters are unhappy with these options. It’s a shame, since they made those options up.

FUCKING MATUSZ
there goes the perfect game. what a slacker.

Two innings and already a hit. And only one K? I think he needs to go down to get himself together. Let him put together a solid month or two of perfect games at AAA and earn his way back up.

I haven't seen Gonzo pitch yet
not wild about the falling off action out there, but he doesn’t seem like a max effort kind of guy. Hopefully he can be effective out there in the real season.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
I hate the signing
I really, really do. But I’m not too worried about his results right here, especially since he’s coming off that back thing.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
Do you think Andy might just be gambling with the Atkins and Gonzalez signings, hoping they have good enough first halves to attract some interest at the trade deadline? The Gonzalez signing in particular seems out of place otherwise… and while I didn’t mind it at first, I like it less and less the more I think about it.
Weaver's Fourth Law: Your most precious possessions on offense are your twenty-seven outs.
I don't
Although you know, we had a closer who was working out pretty well with a year left on his contract and got rid of him so we could pay more for another closer with multiple years. And, you know, get some prospects back – I’m not complaining about the Sherrill trade at all here. It just seems like these two moves don’t really correlate unless the intention is to move Gonzo just like they moved Georgie.
But my gut says, nope, that isn’t it.
I sure as fuck hope the intention was to gamble on Tejada and Atkins and hope to pick up some more prospects in June, though.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
His mechanics just look like shit.
I’m sure he’ll be fine and really am not worried about his results now either, but I wish he looked like a better pitcher…
True
but it seems like a lot of relievers have wonky mechanics but get great results without getting hurt. Look at K-Rod. Watching him pitch makes my elbows both hurt, but the guy does a damn good job.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
That's true too.
But his mechanics make it seem unlikely that he can consistently throw the ball where he wants to.
Is the game over?
If not, what channel can I find it?
