Mariners 4, Orioles 1: Witty headlines reserved for teams with more than 2 wins

PrintTonight's game was basically a replay of pretty much every other game the Orioles have lost this year. The starting pitching was solid - Kevin Millwood pitched a complete game while allowing 4 runs and had just one bad inning, the offense was non-existent - an RBI single by Matt Wieters the only blemish on Felix Hernandez's night (and the run was unearned), and the defense was suspect - another error by Ty Wigginton at third and a questionable play by Justin Turner at 2nd that led to a run.
The good news, if you want to try and find any, is that Nick Markakis had three hits and actually looked like he knew what he was doing at the plate. He also made a pretty nice running catch in the outfield and used his awesome arm to keep the Mariners from trying to score Jose Lopez in the 4th. He ended up scoring anyway, but it was nice to see. I can only hope that this might be the beginning of something for him.
Tomorrow is an off day, thank the heavens. Enjoy it while you can, because beginning Friday the Orioles play their next twelve games against the Red Sox and Yankees.

i have officially given up voting for a MBP until they start winning.
Sorry Kevin, Lou, and Nick… you kind of deserve it. But not really.
off day on monday
Trembley is gone then. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s gone tomorrow.
I came to camdenchat and all I got was this lousy avatar.
Gotta break my MBP miser streak here

So, we sucked the mop again. Yawn. On the other hand -- and unlike us -- this is kinda cool...

Can we sign that guy as Baserunning Coach? I mean, Memlo is gone forever, right…
Anyway, today is Guaranteed No Loss Day. Enjoy.

What's most impressive, in a way, is that he makes the extreme - - and only available -- course seem so perfectly natural
Guy takes off, flies over a catcher, touches home, gets up, does a modest hand-clap, walks away. All in a day’s work kinda thing…

A couple clarifications
1) Bright spot – Julio Lugo did not have a plate appearance in this game.
2) I am quite confident that it was actually Julio Lugo who gave up the 3 runs in the 4th inning.
3) (this one’s real) Turner’s poorly played ball actually led to 3 runs. Would have been the third out and 3 runs scored afterward. I’m not totally convinced that it wasn’t actually Julio Lugo that was playing second for that play….

i'm pretty sure it was in fact lugo who botched that ball

Seems like Lugo is mentoring Turner

Enough is enough
when will some heads start to roll on this club? I mean this is as bad as it gets, we are the laughing stock of MLB, and I’m sick and tired of it…. I thought we were suppose to be seeing improvement this year, what happened to that….As far as I’m concerned DT has to go, enough is enough…..

I don’t think Trembley is 100% to blame for this start (hello, terrible at-bats, bumbling defense and shit-tastic baserunning), but I don’t see how he can’t not be fired soon. Especially considering what AM spouted all winter long on this season being about wins and losses.
THREE CHEERS FOR THE TRIPLE NEGATIVE!!!

That is the only thing I can think of to describe a team that starts the season 2-14. Here’s what I think is happening: Angelos is trying to sell the team to a Russian billionaire playboy, and the only way to get that deal done is to be worse than the Nets. The only good news is that this team isn’t going to go on a patented 2nd half tailspin. It’s hard to come crashing down a hill when you are already in the valley (I knew that fortune cookie was telling me something!).
