Blue Jays 5, Orioles 2: Sweeps are dumb

PrintThe Orioles offense is not doing well right now. I know, way to state the obvious, right? But what else is there to say? Adam Jones and Matt Wieters had two hits each and Miguel Tejada hit an RBI double in the first inning, but other than that there wasn't much to speak about. It was a whole lot of nothing. Most frustrating that I saw was Adam Jones' leadoff triple in the third inning. It was followed with a Nick Markakis strikeout, Miguel Tejada ground out, and Luke Scott pop up. Well done, boys.
Kevin Millwood pitched a very good game for seven innings. He allowed a solo home run to Alex Gonzalez in the 4th inning but little else. He took a 2-1 lead into the 8th inning where he retired the first two batters. The third should have been retired but reached on Tejada's first error of the year. Awful timing, but it's hard to get too down on Miggi's defense as good as it has been so far. With the inning extended, Millwood allowed back-to-back HR to Jose Bautista and Alex Gonzalez (again), and that was it for Millwood. Cla Meredith allowed the final run of the game on a home run to Edwin Encarnacion. And thus the sweep was complete.
Frankly I'm happy with Millwood's outing. Yes, he ended up allowing four runs (only one earned), but he kept the Orioles in the game. The batters just couldn't keep up their end of the deal.
What a sucky first week of baseball. The Rays come to town for three starting tomorrow.

All I have to say is
its a long, long season. Let this thing play out. It’s gonna come together at some point.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Maybe your right
the first week of the season is always a great indicator for how the rest of the season is going to go.

I'm going to the 1st game of my 12 game plan tomorrow.
I hope to see a better effort than I’ve seen thus far.

Hey, enjoy the beginning of the season
Go right ahead – talk smack, stick your chest out a little.
We did in 2005. Remember that?
And you guys did, too, last year.
How’d that work out for ya?

OK....
and I bet they still finish behind BOS, NYY and TB with the best 2B in the division, if not the league. Your point?

i was being facetious. i’m pretty sure jaysfan was the one arguing aaron hill was better than pedroia and utley when stacey did the position rankings.

Has anyone looked at this guy's profile?
He’s only post 5 times, and they’ve all been here at CC. He’s not even a member of the blue jays blog, much less any other SBN sites.
and they all had to do with aaron hill being the BEST 2B IN ALL OF MLB!!!!
yea. keep thinking that. chase utley would like a word.

I dont even care about the trolling
its annoying, but theyre an unavoidable part of the internet. I just find it odd that he’s not even a member of Bluebird Banter.
AMA was never a member of OTM, either.

I started to type something as a comment to this earlier, but I don’t want to start being known as the girl who always comments on fellatio.

Were's MBP?

A farily saddening day...
On a day when our wily veteran Mentor went 7+ and gave up 1 ER we can’t get an MBP, but when our young #5 gives up 3 and keeps in the game (that we didn’t win) he gets voted MBP, I have to declare…

the Orioles store needs to get with it
I checked like six different shirt and none of them anything for Matusz. he’s going to be Rookie of the Year, but you according to someone at the Orioles store, you wont have anything for him until July at the earliest. And I’m not giving MLB.com $31 so I can have one right now.

Well, we're on a pace for, lemme see here, carry the three, add the Sid re-signing in June, well, it looks like...
1-161. Kind of a “rebuilding year” record, you could say.
Perhaps this is a good moment to point out that in this curious sport, bad teams win 40% of their games. You can win 83 games and become World Champeen, for that matter. And we will not begin this season 0-21, I guarantee.
’Course, we could be looking at a nice 4-32 run here. We have the technology!
Guts tonight— against whatsisname, Garzilla, the overwhelmer douchebag. Good luck us and
Go O’s!
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
If we went 1-161 then we would have another spot in the record books by losing like the 30 runs given up vs the Rangers. Guts better pitch well it seems the only thing thats has been decent so far is the pitching
