PrintIt's Sunday, the O's are 2-16, and you can find about about how last night fell apart here (Connolly), here (Ghiroli), here (Melewski), here (Boston.com), and here (MLB.com).
Uehara to begin rehab stint Tuesday | orioles.com: News
And not a moment too soon. -zk
Gammons: Cruz inspires McDonald | MLB.com: News
"Darnell McDonald conditioned himself to never stop dreaming, 13 years after signing his first professional contract with the Baltimore Orioles. So when he showed up at Fenway Park on Tuesday, homered in his first Red Sox at-bat and an inning later hit a walk-off wall-ball that got him mobbed by a bunch of guys with World Series rings, he said: "This is what you dream about, what I've dreamed about all these years." I've got a soft spot for Darnell. I watched him play a lot of games at Delmarva. -duck
Big start for Bergy - MASNsports.com-
If Brad Bergesen does well enough today for Norfolk, it might be the only start he makes there this year. -duck
Analysis: Too soon for O's to toss Trembley?
This is a headline you're gonna see a lot in the next 48 hours. Today it's from the Carroll County Times. -zk
Orioles call up Hughes, put him in lineup - baltimoresun.com
The O's called up Rhyne Hughes and had him start last night. Worked pretty well until he did his Adam Jones impersonation. -duck
The Schmuck Stops Here: Orioles: Let Matusz figure it out
Peter Schmuck says it's time to let the kids pitch later into games. Did anyone really think Matt Albers was going to pitch better than Brian Matusz, even after 100 pitches? -duck
Lyons: Apparently there's no 'baseless' in baseball | HeraldTribune.com
The lawsuit down in Sarasota about the deal to bring the O's in just isn't going away. -duck
Explore Howard: The Driver's Seat / What’s in a name for O’s farm team? It must be Tyler
For some reason, there are four players named "Tyler" playing at Delmarva. Weird. -duck
Chirpin With The Birds: Arrieta 'definitely' ready for the bigs
Jake Arrieta is a pretty realistic dude. "I'm aware of it, but that doesn't mean I wake up every day hoping to get that phone call." Well, the phone may be ringing sooner than you think, Jake. -duck

hhaha sorry to disappoint
Actually had never heard of Quicksand.. just checked them out. Very good… although I’d say most music that came out of the early 90’s f’n rocked.
Only 2 CD's but they massively rocked.

The show I saw them play at the Trocadero in Philadelphia . . .
was the most violent show I’ve ever been to in my life.
Great band at their best though.
You SAW them play?
I am truly impressed. Damn, Yuri, that’s awesome.
Wish I had seen them.

I saw them place twice in Phialdephia
Once opening for Helmet (after Meantime when Helmet was still good) and once as the headliner where they, in fact, played Dine Alone and Baphomet.
Believe it or not, I used to be pretty with it music-wise. During the 1990’s I saw just most of the bands that were (in my mind) worth seeing play live at least once.
Those days have long since passed.
I got into Quicksand too late to see them.
Slip is an awesome album, though.

I'm always slightly surprised to find people who know them
I always think they are my little secret goodness from the early ’90s.

There are a lot of us out there
I got into them through Gorilla Biscuits and NY Hardcore in general, but you should check out Rival Schools, it’s Walter and Sammy from Quicksand/GB/etc, good stuff.

hear the rime of the scapegoat manager
Day after day, day after day,
we stuck nor breath nor motion
as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
Water, water everywhere and
all the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.
There calls the mariner
There comes a ship over the line
But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide.
See…onward she comes
Onward she nears out of the sun
See, she has no crew
She has no life, wait but there’s two.
Death and she Life in Death,
They throw their dice for the crew

This would be a good day for a rain day.
I thought for sure they’d get rained out today, but now chance of precipitation is like 20%.

How long has it been since we've had a MBP?
In one game as a freshman at Miami, Wieters hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth to put the Yellow Jackets ahead, then pitched the bottom of the ninth for the save. On that day, the God nickname was bestowed. - Sports Illustrated

Has anyone else noticed the O's score lots of runs for Matusz.
He’s gotten 25 runs of support, Millwood and Guts combined have 18.

Too bad the bullpen doesn’t seem to like Matusz

They like him more than any other pitcher.
Even atheists believe in Matt Wieters

Does anyone else have a replica St. Louis Browns hat? Think I'm gonna start wearing mine.
Brown ‘n’ white, got it at Cooperstown. I left it somewhere at the Titov Family Estate on the Banks of the MIghty Susquehanna— possibly in that bunch of old hats ‘n’ coats that hang behind the front door in the big house sitting room, near the 1935 radio (appropriately).
This summer’s home leave may be the time to track it down and start wearing it. You know, a Roots thing. Yeah, we’re that bad.

if we just had a switch hitting, slick defending first baseman from maryland we’d be 11-6

Correction:
if we just had a switch hitting, slick defending, [ginormously douchebag-ish] first baseman from maryland we’d be 11-6
That’s more like it
"You accept mediocrity and you get mediocrity." - Adam Jones, Son!
certainly not the one that's OPS-ing .531 right now for the MFY
maybe some other switch hitting, slick defending, ginormously douchebag=ish first baseman from MD…
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
As of today...
Tex and Atkins both have a .534 OPS. That’s awesome (and and also horribe).

haha
I think you’ll start seeing some separation in this coming series.

Gonna be tough....
for Atkins to improve as he’s planted on the bench. Not that I have a problem with that.

I was actually planning on buying one pretty soon.
You can get them from the Coperstown Collection by American Needle. I guess you actually got your hat in the actual Cooperstown though.

Just bought one, and yeah, it's a Roots thing.
If I remember correctly, they ship their shit fast and I should be wearing it at the games on THurs and Fri.
