Brian Matusz and Miguel Tejada quotes from post-game
The pitcher and 3B talk about their respective efforts and the team. Here's one choice sample from Brian Matusz: "Whether we score runs or not, that's nothing that I can control.

Orioles Insider: Nothing new to report on Roberts
Dave Trembley's not exactly a wealth of information on this topic. "He was supposed to get an endoscopy today. I talked to him last night. It's his feeling that he has been taking a lot of medication," Trembley said. "I think he's off the medication now." Well, thanks for that update, Skip. -duck

O's save fan the cost of gym membership | The Daily Times
"The author of theoriolesplan.blogspot.com, [Mike] Laws has tasked himself to do a number of exercises when a Baltimore player does something wrong (i.e. when a pitcher issues a walk, a hitter strikes out). And with each loss, Laws walks 4.5 miles from his home in Arlington, Va., to his job in Washington." I hope the dude's got an excellent health insurance plan. -duck

Trembley's post game interview
He actually said that he didn’t have Matusz on a pitch count. Surprising!!! He also said the reason he took him out was because it is too early in the season to ask for anything more out of him. HEY DAVE WHEN YOU ARE 4-18 YOU NEED ANYTHING YOU CAN GET.
One other thing that got to me was someone asked him what does he thing about all the yankees fans that come out to watch the game. He said “that is just expected, you have to expect that”. That made me a little upset to. Dave Trembley hasn’t seen a real baltimore crowd. Back in the day when we were packing them in to camden yards there weren’t 15,000 red sox and yankee fans. It just stinks right now!!!!
You get a "A" fpr today for following directions.
Thanks, I just couldn’t bring myself to watch it. If he said the words “tip your hat,” I was gonna explode.

Nope, Wico. Co. still uses "E"
"Oh, and Joe? If Brian hits any of your delicate millionaires, know that he meant it." - Stacey
I've never heard of an "E" grade in my life
That’s just odd
"You accept mediocrity and you get mediocrity." - Adam Jones, Son!
i thought they eliminated F's
and just made E’s a failing grade. Thats how it was in Howard County from what I remember
Not in NJ
At least not when I was in school (graduated HS in 2000). We all had the potential to be failures.
"You accept mediocrity and you get mediocrity." - Adam Jones, Son!
We've always had Es
I only ever heard of Fs on TV. I also only ever heard people call elementary school “grammar school” on TV before I started hanging around with people from the north.
How’s my Cal coin, by the way? You keeping it nice and safe until the day you deliver it to me?
Sometimes I just want to talk about beer, blowjobs and baseball, y’know? -2632
First off...
I always called it elementary school as well, so there’s that.
As for the other point…
YOU WILL NOT WIN. YOU CANNOT WIN. I WILL NOT ALLOW IT!
(Well, unless Cliff Lee shits the bed in his first start tonight and I manage to get 3 losses from my starters. Then you’ll almost definitely win.)
"You accept mediocrity and you get mediocrity." - Adam Jones, Son!
It's pretty close, for sure
You have Lackey going against the O’s tonight, so there’s at least 10 points. I’m taking a chance on Slowey tonight, I hope I don’t regret it. But even if he is garbage I’m sure my roster full of Rays will get me plenty of points, and I still have one start from Felix.
Yeah, I’m gonna win. I’ll enjoy wearing my Brian Matusz shirt around town and showing everyone my awesome Cal coin.
Sometimes I just want to talk about beer, blowjobs and baseball, y’know? -2632
How do the Rays play KC every day of our matchup?
God, you’re such a front-runner.
Also, i’m going to burn your Cal coin AND the Matusz shirt and send you video of me doing so just to show that the sweet, sweet taste of victory is enough to satiate all my needs. Earthly possesions will pale in comparison.
"You accept mediocrity and you get mediocrity." - Adam Jones, Son!
Also...
This is what they give away at Rays games:
Wow. Strikes me as more of a Josh Beckett type tee, but whatever.
"You accept mediocrity and you get mediocrity." - Adam Jones, Son!
Heh
They also give away shirts to the ladies that say “I ♥ Longoria.”
Also, front runner? I’m sorry for offending you, team with Victor Martinez, Kevin Youkilis, Robinson Cano, JD Drew, John Lackey, and Phil Hughes.
If you would destroy two such wonderful items just to prove a point I would be highly disappointed in you. And I might have to post that video here along with your phone number and instructions for everyone to harass you. Don’t make me be Howard Stern, Dave. I don’t want that.
Sometimes I just want to talk about beer, blowjobs and baseball, y’know? -2632
None of those players is on a 1st place team
So I can’t be front-running.
Ba-ba-booey, ba-ba-booey!

Well, except for Jaso. JASO!

Why is it odd?
It’s the next letter in the progression. A, B, C, D, E. Simple.
"Oh, and Joe? If Brian hits any of your delicate millionaires, know that he meant it." - Stacey
Well, odd to me
I grew up in an A, B, C, D, F environment. I always wondered about E, but if I ever got one I would have just said give mte the frikin’ F. What’s the difference really? It still means you suck.
"You accept mediocrity and you get mediocrity." - Adam Jones, Son!
In elementary school..
E meant “more effort required.” Of course, those are crazy Canuckian ways for you.
In Anne Arundel, it was the other way.
From K thru 12th grade, I never saw a single F in my life.

I got a coouple E's!
That was the lowest in the alphabet they would go. One time we had a student from another county or another state or something ask the teacher why a 49% was still an E, and we got an asnwer like “F means failure and nobody is a failure”

At the end of the day though,
I think getting an E is just as discouraging as receiving an F, especially when they mean the same thing.
I will agree that the self-esteem movement has helped to create a generation of assholes in this country., unequipped to handle critique and failure.

Back east..
England that is..
An E was a “Restricted Pass”, so I guess it was pretty hard to fail as long as you show up.
Then again, getting straight A’s was very rare, perhaps only 2-3 students per year and they usually ended up going to Oxford/Cambridge.

C'mon, man.
Matusz being pulled had nothing to do with the loss, and there’s no point risking his arm when you can tell we’re probably going to lose anyway. This one’s all on the offense; 3 IP with 1 run allowed is perfectly acceptable from the bullpen, but 27 outs with no runs scored is not.

Its a whole bunch of things. We just can’t freaking hit now. I think its time for the Crow to go!!!!

Kranny grading on a curve
‘You have five starts, and four of them have been quality starts. Ninety percent, you take that just about every time.’
I’d take that kind of grade inflation every time.
It’s tough even listening to this team on the radio right now, if only for four innings. I wonder how it was in the stands for Andy and Cal.
I hate to stereotype,
but sometimes I really wonder if these guys don’t do sabermetrics just because they’re that bad at math.

"Oh, and Joe? If Brian hits any of your delicate millionaires, know that he meant it." - Stacey
Well, yeah.
I meant “do” as in “use”; reading it again, that’s not at all obvious. Oops.
But what I mean is, I’ve known people who had a rough time with a subject in school, whether due to their own lack of ability or a couple of terrible teachers, and they’re completely turned off to it for years afterwards. I have to wonder if that happens to a lot of baseball people with math.

i met jerry hairston while at a baseball clinic…i was like 14 or something. he was real cool. he picked me and a couple of other guys from the crowd and showd us how to take a throw from the catcher and tag a runner out.

Really random, but kinda funny.
I was just talking to my mom about this the other day. I’d completely forgotten until she mentioned it, and I don’t actually remember it myself, but I briefly met Andy van Slyke (I know, only an Oriole for about half a season in ’95) when I was… 9, I guess.
My Boys & Girls Club baseball team was going to a Frederick Keys game and got to go out on the field for the national anthem. Van Slyke happened to be there for a rehab assignment. Apparently, while the rest of my team just walked out to the infield, I immediately bolted out to center field. Supposedly he was rather amused and pushed my hat down over my eyes or something.
So I guess I was a dork even then, though I give myself props for being the only one on my team who knew an actual major leaguer was there.
Weaver's Fourth Law: Your most precious possessions on offense are your twenty-seven outs.
Replying to myself? Ew.
But I just remembered another tidbit. I went to a kids’ pitching clinic or something, I guess when I was 11 or 12. Storm Davis was one of the people running it and worked with me a bit. Supposedly, he liked my mechanics.
Is it bad that I’m only 24 and I already can’t remember much of anything before high school? From 8th grade prior, I seem to only remember moments that were embarrassing.

I'm the exact opposite
I think my life started heading downhill when I turned 14, and didn’t pick back up until I got married at 23. High school was a four year long nightmare I’ve mostly been able to obliterate.
"Oh, and Joe? If Brian hits any of your delicate millionaires, know that he meant it." - Stacey
I hear that.
Thing is, it’s not like I have lots of good high school memories; it’s just that’s more recent. High school was pretty boring. And college mostly sucked, but I remember it pretty well.

Heh, I did that.
Grew up in Sandy Spring (next to Olney) and went to college in Philly. Definitely better than staying at home, aside from the expense, but college still kinda sucked for me. I just didn’t realize until it was too late that chemical engineering is all differential equations and next to no chemistry.

One more year in Anne Arundel, then I get finally taste bona-fide “college life.” I’m looking to major in Elementary Special Education and do like a minor in deaf studies. I’m at least thankful that I think I pretty much know that’s what I want to do, and all general education will be met.

this is important
I went to the normal college experience for a year and I was an abject failure at that. Moved back home and went to Howard Community which is never anyone’s plan A and that was tough too but I discovered I was good at photography and now I’m at MICA doing some sort of dream pursuit (if that’s what you must call it) and I’m the happiest I’ve been.
cxcxcxcxzzzzzzzzz
A few
Luke was very cool and very humble, Cal was very gracious, Mike Timlin was hilarious and couldn’t stop cracking jokes, Matusz was very pro-fan and went out of his way to make my gf and I happy, Trembley was actually pretty cool, and (my favorite) David Newhan was very bitter. I saw him at a N.O. Zephyrs game (then the AAA team for the Mets) and I was wearing my O’s stuff. It was the day after 30-3 happened. He looked at me and said “Pretty tough day yeasterday, huh” kinda in a fuck those guys manner. I replied “Yea, bet you’re glad you aren’t with them anymore, huh?”. He then walked away.
Anyone else I met was pretty chill, but nothing to report on.
"You accept mediocrity and you get mediocrity." - Adam Jones, Son!
Luke is very cool
He may stink it up at the plate a lot of the time, but I always get the feeling that he knows exactly how lucky he is to have his life. Every time I’m at a game I see him he signing autographs and talking to people, he’s always friendly out in left field. I’ve never met him, but when I saw the O’s at Yankee Stadium a few years ago he was in the bullpen before the game and I LUUUKED him from the second level and he immediately turned around and gave me a smile and a wave.
Sometimes I just want to talk about beer, blowjobs and baseball, y’know? -2632
I'll tell the story again
He was AMAZING to everyone at Delmarva last year. Signed autographs until practically first pitch, and bought catering for dinner for the entire team both nights he was there – a local Italian place and then Famous Dave’s BBQ. No one at Delmarva had a bad word to say about him.
That said, I’ll take a guy eating kitten tacos for dinner batting .290 over Luke every day right now.

I met Adam Jones last year...
This was early last year while he was still red hot. It seems kind of funny now given all the attention he is getting with his Tweets, but he was joking around asking me if I wanted to take some BP
Palmer was very nice when I got his autograph. (I was like 10 or 11). I said he was my favorite player and he said something like, “I’m too old to be your favorite player, give me someone playing now.”
I said Cal. He asked me to keep naming people till I got a pitcher.
Randy Milligan was nice. Sam Horn was nice though he couldn’t spell “Brian”. ("Good luck, Brain. – Sam Horn)
Curt Schilling was a dick — he didn’t look up or say a word to anyone he was signing for.
One of my friends and I once spent most of a game chatting with Elrod from our seats adjacent to the bullpen. He was as nice as everyone said he was.
i met Elrod Hendricks a long time ago
one of the nicest guys in the world to talk to.
+1 on Elrod Hendricks
Elrod Hendricks was always great when I went to games at Memorial Stadium. I think I had his autograph on every O’s pennant I owned as a kid. After a while I assumed that a cursive rendering of Elrod Hendricks’ name was part of the team logo.
I goofed up when I met Cal at a book signing in Virginia. He was his usual generous Cal self. He signed books and took photos for five hours, well past closing time at the Borders that hosted the event. Of course I had to be the genius who cracked a joke when I finally got to the front of the line. My comment of “Sorry to keep you waiting, Cal” earned me a glare from one of his handlers. I felt like a real a-hole even though I didn’t mean it the way it probably sounded. Lesson learned: don’t joke with the talent after he’s been so generous with his time. Just smile, get your autograph and photo, and move on.
Ha! I have a similar story
I also met Cal briefly at a book signing in Borders, only it was in Towson. It was in 1997 and he was coming there after the game and people had started lining up for his autograph super early. We were all wound around every single aisle in the entire bookstore waiting while they played the radio broadcast of the game over the sound system in the store. The game went into extra innings (I don’t remember who they were playing, unfortunately) and we just kept waiting and waiting. Everyone was sitting on the floor of the bookstore listening to the game. It finally ended and then we still had to wait for Cal to do his post game stuff and drive up to Towson
I was with my friend Dave who was reading Cal’s book while we waited. He got to some part about when the Orioles acquired Todd Zeile in 1996 and apparently there was a mistake with one of the facts. What team he came from, I think. Dave is telling me how it’s wrong and I didn’t remember, so he gets out of line and goes to the sports section (we were in cooking, I remember) and finds some baseball almanac or something and comes back and looks it up and turns out it was wrong. He’s saying, “I’m going to tell Cal when we get up there that he made a mistake in his book” and I was all, “NO you’re not. Don’t you tell him that.” and he kept saying he would. He wrote it down on a piece of paper and folded it in half and says he’s going to give it to Cal so that he won’t forget later. I was mortified and kept being like, “Don’t you dare tell Cal Ripken he made a mistake in his book.”
Finally we get to the front of the line and I say hello to Cal and shake his hand and he signed my book and then Dave is right behind me and he shakes his hand and he says to Cal, “You know you made a mistake in your book about Todd Zeile. I wrote it down for you.” and he hands him the piece of paper. Cal clearly had no idea what was going on but he took the piece of paper and said, “Thanks.” So embarrassing. I had to be the person with the tool who corrects Cal Ripken.

You should never remember college…which is why it was awesome (I think).

I have no problem with alcohol (though I’ll admit to being “judgmental” about people who regularly get plastered), but I’m not much of a drinker. I do enjoy a bit of scotch or wine once in a blue moon, but I never, ever want to get drunk.
I’d say that, as an engineer, I was too busy working to get drunk, but that’s just not true, since most of my classmates did on a regular basis.

but who knows?

It's....
so weird. According to the comments either 1) Nolan is a first rate a-hole who abandons people, or 2) this Jenny character is a crazy lunatic and while Nolan did leave her, he has hired an attorney to deal with it and fully intends on taking care of his child once it is born.

Or...
she cheated on him, got pregnant, he left her, and she wants his money. That was in there too I believe.

Those would seem to be the three main possibilites.

here is some more info on Nolan's ex GF
apparently her name used to be Jen Porter, but she changed it after she got into trouble for sleeping with a student while teaching at a high school:

Yeah, that tends to be frowned upon.

wowza..holy investigative reporter
that is quite a link. too bad you couldn’t have given it to nolan before hand
No, that's not the right answer
If the student is still under the authority of the school system and the relationship begins as a teacher/student relationship, at the LEAST it’s unethical. If the student is under 18, it’s illegal.
Do me a favor and switch the genders. Would you even think to call a female student “lucky” in this case? No, you wouldn’t. If guys go to jail for it, gals should do to jail for it, too.

Eh
I still say lucky kid. He was 17. What state are we even talking about? In PA that’s legal.

Even if he was over the age of consent
it may still have been illegal due to the special student-teacher relationship
Oh sure that part is probably still illegal, but whatever! haha

You wouldn’t feel that way if it was a girl. Sexist much?

Eh
well it wouldn’t be as obvious to me whether the girl was lucky or not, but if the teacher was brad pitt I think I’d consider her pretty lucky.

It's definitely wrong (both illegal and immoral) either way,
but I think it’s common sense that girls are usually hurt more by being taken advantage of sexually than boys are. Look at college hookups; it’s not the guys that are often lamenting that nothing more comes of them.
It can definitely hurt or mess up kids of either sex, I’m not disputing that. But I don’t think that suggesting that it’s likely to hurt girls more is sexist.

They SHOULD go to jail for it
but in defense of RED SOX, if I was a 17 year old in HS and she came on to me, i’d feel pretty lucky too. Now, it’s illegal so regardless it should mean jail time. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be all about it if it were me.

I was afraid to go anywhere else on that site.

Best part of the Matusz post-game interview: "I am NOT angry at the hitters. But I am very, very disappointed."
OK, I just made that up. But I know how he feels.

If Eddie Gamboa makes it to the majors,
do we revive that chant, or it is reserved for Murray?

I first read this as "do we reverse the chant"
so that we would be chanting “Die Ed, Die Ed!” and was wondering what Gamboa did to make you so upset.
Hahahahaha.
Nah, saw the guy at Frederick last year and was pretty impressed; hope he makes it.

and the May picture on my Orioles and their pets calendar is Brian Bass. I don’t think I can handle a month of that.

I bet Lackey tears up this lineup
he’s been mediocre, but i’m sure he’ll find himself against these guys. So the question becomes “are the Sox gonna score 7 or more runs against the O’s?”. I wouldn’t be so sure. They haven’t really been hitting for shit.
