Bowie...
did the same thing the Orioles did last night…back to back to back HRs…..apparently pretty close to when it happened in Baltimore. Crazy.

I was reading the DRaysBay gamethread last night when I couldn't sleep
They are obsessed with the idea of having Luke Scott on their team.
Oh and now we’re warming up Uehara. He’ll die. He will actually DIE if he pitches in this heat. -KenDixonFanClub
We'll take Crawford for him.

carl crawford is a free agent at the end of the season
Just give us David Price.
Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns.
Today's game, dammit.
We picked today’s game for an annual get-together at the start of the year. Originally it had it as a 7.05 start.
Watching last night was the first I had heard it was a day game. Was there an announcement or press release of a time change? I couldn’t find anything.

Anybody see the thing with the Dodgers?
Torre got ejected, so Mattingly took over and made a trip to the mound in the ninth with the bases loaded, then turned around to basically say two more words when he had taken half a step off the mound, and Bruce Bochy came out to argue that that was two mound visits and Broxton had to come out. And the umpires agreed. And Georgie came in and gave up a double pitching cold. That was some shameful shit right there.
Hang onto me, baby, and let's hope the roof stays on
The Daily Loaf recap is so doomsday
Someone needs to talk that guy off the ledge and remind him that the Rays have the second best record in all of baseball.

Patton's up
He probably would have been my best guess for relief help. At least Josh Bell can go back to, you know, playing baseball again.
Gonzalez is also here. Fuck that guy.
Hang onto me, baby, and let's hope the roof stays on
Word is that he may be here only until tomorrow...
…and would then be sent down for Millwood.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
makes sense
I’m intrigued though. That sounds stupid because he’s destined for middle relief, but I am intrigued.
I was just reading over some quotes about Tillman’s demotion which I never got to yesterday and I would like to register a complaint with the team, but I’m afraid that they would offended by the necessary language.
Hang onto me, baby, and let's hope the roof stays on
He just seems to have stagnated
Giving up a few less hits and home runs this season than last, but that’s pretty luck dependent. His BB/9 and K/9 are almost exactly the same as they were last season and he strikes out less than two batters for each one he walks. And he’s not a groundball pitcher.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
You know what drives me a bit nuts?
Patton, like so many other young players with our team, has arrived in Baltimore and says “They haven’t told me exactly what I’m doing.” Because that’s really hard to do, it seems, and isn’t the kind of thing that would be useful to know.
If there is one thing you can be confident about, it is that the Orioles will fuck up the little things.

Day game after a night game means play the scrubs to Juan
Of course, Pie could play center and give Adam his first day off in a century, but Adam cannot sit. Because he’s earned it, I suspect. Or something.
Last night’s win has engendered zero fondness in me, oddly enough. I still hate this team.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Adam Jones will always play
Because he likes to. Just like Tejada. You can’t just sit someone if they like to play.
Oh and now we’re warming up Uehara. He’ll die. He will actually DIE if he pitches in this heat. -KenDixonFanClub
That's not very adorable, now is it?

He likes to play, too
But “liking to play + more major league games” trumps what I like to call, “what is actually good for the team.” It’s a delicate equation.
Oh and now we’re warming up Uehara. He’ll die. He will actually DIE if he pitches in this heat. -KenDixonFanClub
I don't think
the variable entitled “What is actually good for the team” is part of this or any other equation
Hang onto me, baby, and let's hope the roof stays on
Perhaps it would if everyone hated to play and was a rookie
Oh and now we’re warming up Uehara. He’ll die. He will actually DIE if he pitches in this heat. -KenDixonFanClub
Do you think
the reason MacPhail hasn’t hired a new manager yet is that Juan likes to manage?
Hang onto me, baby, and let's hope the roof stays on
Quite possibly.

Andy is so nice to accommodate everyone
Oh and now we’re warming up Uehara. He’ll die. He will actually DIE if he pitches in this heat. -KenDixonFanClub
And deliberate
He has a plan to accommodate Pie, but it is going to proceed at an appropriate pace, because accommodating Pie isn’t the kind of thing you want to rush. And because Andy likes to be deliberate.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
You actually seem angrier
which is fair. I didn’t watch last night’s game, and I’m pretty fucking angry at them myself.
Hang onto me, baby, and let's hope the roof stays on
I dunno that I'm angrier
I think my anger has reached a plateau where there really isn’t anywhere left to go.

one of the shorter, better, goofier stories
is about how a very young Hellboy only wants to eat noodles and refuses “pamcakes”. But then when he takes the first bite, the population of Hell concedes: “The boy has eaten pancakes. He is truly lost to us now.”
Hang onto me, baby, and let's hope the roof stays on
I think i'm gonna add a little more water than called for, just for duck
so the pancakes are a little more crepe-like
I had really great
very thin (a little too buttery perhaps) pancakes – but definitely not crepes – in Pittsburgh a couple of weeks ago.Yum.
…okay, now I really need some pancakes…
Hang onto me, baby, and let's hope the roof stays on
Thats about 3 blocks from my old apartment
best hangover food in the world. One of the things i miss most about pittsburgh.
Does anyone do chocolate chip pancakes?
Eggspectation in Ellicott City has awesome CC pancakes.

He doesn't wear a cup
sucks for him. After the game last night, Amber and Tom Davis has the postgame duties on the radio, and Tom wouldn’t say what the injury was – he would just say “due to an undiscolsed injury.” Amber had no trouble saying “testicular contusion,” and they were having some fun with it. They sounded tired and loopy.
ESPN makes it incredibly easy to figure out when Strasburg is pitching.
It’s the only time they’ll telelvise the Nats.
