PrintBaltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays, Aug 13, 2010 7:10 PM EDT
If anything or anyone was going to put a damper on Buck mania, a start from Kevin Millwood probably would have been the most likely bet to do it. The Mentor actually got a quality start for his trouble last night but it was one of those games where it just felt like we were never in it, and enthusiasm was continually being sapped the longer he was on the mound.
The Orioles look to get back in the good karma column tonight behind Jeremy Guthrie. Guts has been the most, and really only, consistent pitcher on the staff this season, not that he's been rewarded for that effort much by the team. His 4.04 ERA is the lowest of the starters. Let's never mind that three Rays starters have ERAs lower than that. The good news is that none of those three are pitching tonight.
James Shields goes for the Rays and the last time he pitched he gave up six home runs to Toronto in only four innings of work. Luke Scott has to be salivating given the power surge he's on. But Shields will also strike out a lot of guys, with over 8 K/9 and nearly 4 K/BB on the season. That would generally bode poorly for the O's this season but the hitters have seemed different since Buck came along and perhaps there will be a good plan in action tonight.
At the Trop, who knows what will happen. Will the ball carom off a catwalk? Will the hideous carpet cause a freak injury? Will even 20,000 people attend the game when their team is in the pennant race and leading for the AL Wild Card? The O's are 2-7 against the Rays on the year, but five of those losses came during that ridiculously bad 2-16 start to the season, and we all know it's a whole new Orioles experience now.
Man, speaking of that 2-16 start, Matt Albers was 0-3 at the end of it. Those were some really dark days. I think I'd blocked out how terrible it was until I went fishing for stats for this post. Win or lose tonight, I think we can all feel agree things are better now. But winning's a hell of a lot more fun to watch, so, go O's!

It's Turn Back the Clock Night in Tampa, apparently.
I’m not sure how you turn back the clock when your franchise didn’t exist prior to 1998, but there you go. I think we’re turning back to 1970 or something like that. So if you want to like… 1970 up this game thread that would be appropriate.
Being as I wasn’t alive then I’m not really sure how to accomplish that, so I’ll leave it to others.

Actually, our pitching was about the only thing going right the first 6 weeks.

Uh, no.
“Hello America” was good,. but High And Dry was better overall. At least, the extended version with “Me & My Wine”, the best song they ever did.

Yep, even Slang and that covers one they did. I would put Hysteria just under Pyromania though. For some reason my second cassette was Hall & Oates Big Bam Boom. There was an extended version of Out Of Touch on there that I liked at the time.
Ugh. Hysteria? really?

No
Getting the out there is far more important than keeping the runners from advancing.
You’d let it drop foul if a guy was on 3rd with less than 1 out and was the tying or winning run, however.
Yup - ALWAYS take the out, except in the most extreme circumstances
They only get 27 of them.

Matt does make me very sad
He’s pretty much the only thing under Buck that has made me sad. I have a Matt Weiters Facts shirt. I don’t want to have to wear it ironically.
No I didn't mean by definition
I just meant that this particular ball wasn’t hard hit and would have gone through if it was.
Wieter's RISP average had been significantly below .2000. Does anyone know what it is now?

That was quick
And Koji looks scarily natural in that pose
"I might know a couple things that you don't know. 'Cause I've been young, but you ain't never been old." - Elvin Bishop
Koji's actually blended the best
You know, aside from the fact that Sigourney Weaver’s hair is clearly visible behind him.
Koji's sideburns match her hair color, though,

Just like Opening Day! When PhilR8 jinxed us forever.
