Orioles 3, Blue Jays 1: SWEEEEEEP!!!

The focus before the game was all on the debut of Toronto Blue Jays rookie Kyle Drabek, but Brad Bergesen is happy to remind you that there was another pitcher on the field tonight. Here is pretty much all you need to know:
Brad Bergesen: 9.0 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 3 K.
Bergy needed just 95 pitches to complete the game and did so in less than two hours. The only run he allowed was on a first inning home run by Jose Bautista, and he faced just three batters in seven of the nine innings he pitched.
Spawn of Drabek didn't pitch nearly as poorly as Spawn of Roenicke did last night, but the Orioles scored three runs off of him in his six innings pitched. That was one more than they needed thanks to 3E1N's gem. They scored their first run in the bottom of the first on a ground out by Luke Scott. Brian Roberts and Nick Markakis started the game with back-to-back singles and a double steal, so it was discouraging that they only got one run, honestly. Thankfully their woes on the bases didn't hurt them tonight.
The other two runs came in the fourth inning, as Felix Pie singled with no outs and moved up two bases on a ground out and a passed ball. Matt Wieters followed him with a walk and Corey Patterson, getting a rare start at DH, singled to knock in Felix. Izzy singled to load the bases with no outs, but the O's were unable to break it open as Brian Roberts grounded into a double play. Wieters did score, but it could have been a lot bigger. Perhaps they just wanted to show some mercy to young Drabek Spawn in his debut.
O's sweep! They are now 9-5 in September and in their last four series (all wins), they are 9-3. They go into the off day on a very good note and I fully expect them to win the series against the Yankees that starts on Friday.
This was Cito Gaston's last time managing at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the place where he cemented himself as a Baltimore villain back in 1993. I'd say we gave him a fine send off, wouldn't you?

Was there one out when Izzy singled in the fourth?
Thus the rare run-scoring inning-ending double play.
To me the real hair-pulling inning was the third, when Izzy was waved home with nobody out and thrown out by about a mile. Talk about a silly unnecessary risk—that probably cost at least one run.
Fortunately the new Orioles brush off such setbacks and win anyway.
I was certain that would come back to haunt us.
The Sluggin’ Showalters pulled through anyway.

That poll is very democratic.

Wait, he's president?!?

In effect, yes, but the different offices require different procedures.
You can’t do anything you want when you’re “only” PM— even if it’s nominal-PM-but-effectively-president.
So Putin does have a sort of brake on his power, a kind of slowing-down mechanism. Named Medvedev. Short guy, smiles a lot, looks like a chipmunk. Oh, and loves Deep Purple, now the country’s First Rock Group. Groan. “Smoke on the Water”, but that’s about it…

i meant thats how he got reelected
he’s the PM now and still head of the kgb ;-)

Titov should have fun with it.

It was the only name on the ballot I received here…

Shortest O's game since 2005

Wait can I guess which game?
Was it the opening day 4-0 win over Oakland? That game must have taken two hours.

I'm not sure why this hasn't been brought up more
I mean he may very well equal the teams winning total of the first 4 months of the season in just two. And, to be honest, the most difficult part of the schedule+ our history of finishing horribly in August and September. I’m not sure what the qualifications are to be considered but I doubt you can find someone who’s done a better job.

It really is nice
to not finish the season sucking ass for two months.

Because of that,
I’m so much more into the pennant races than previous years.
"Tragedy is what happens to me. Comedy is what happens to you." -Mel Brooks
I'm the opposite
I don’t even care about the pennant races. As long as the O’s are giving me something to care about I couldn’t care less about the other teams. Fuck them and their “playoff eligibility”.

It's gonna go to Bud Black.
Buck won’t, but he should finish in the top three.

question
how long do we plan on buck to be around? is he here long-term or is it just another stop where he can get a team on the brink and then leave it up to someone else to finish what he started?

Bring back Luis Matos.

I initially thought he'd just be the managerial equivalent of a turnaround CEO
but the more I hear him in interviews, the more it sounds like his attitude toward management and players has mellowed enough that he could be a long-term option. Of course this is easy when we’re winning, lets see if things changes once we hit a rough patch.
Bill Parcells
came to mind when I thought about this. Goes around to different teams, changes stuff to put a team on the right path, then moves onto the next one.
Except for when he sticks around to win a couple Super Bowls
I’d be happy with Buck = the Giants version of Parcells

Just back from the game. Fucking awesome job, Bergy.
I barely had time to finish my 2nd beer and the game is over. I think 3E1N threw a total of 4 pitches in the 8th, but maybe it was only 3. It all happened so fast.
Oh, and Cito….suck it, punk! Enjoy that bitter aftertaste for a long time. Maybe you can wash it away with an ice-cold Natty Boh!

Did somebody mention SWEEP-SWEEP-SWEEP?!?
Thank you, Bugurglarson (er, BugurglErson) for making my jinx-bustin’ prediction Come True! (Can you help me with some football picks?)
But wait, this just in: “Criminals Favor Yankee Caps” goes the Yahoo teaser for this NYT item:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/16/nyregion/16caps.html
This comes under the heading of Stuff You Already Knew, Comma Duh. What ELSE are low-life dirtbags gonna wear? Hiroshima Carp caps?
Tomorrow, I hear, the American Psychiatric Assoc. Journal is going to break THIS story: “Out-Patients Favor Red Sox Caps”. No sh#t…

So,
we’re now tied with the DBacks. Moving on up. Unfortunately, whoever bet that we’d have a better record than the Cubs appears to be out of luck.

I said we'd finish ahead of Cleveland
back in mid-august. I’m confident about that one. Heck, I’ll take Kansas City as well.
"Tragedy is what happens to me. Comedy is what happens to you." -Mel Brooks
I think I'd be happier about not losing 100 games.
Then, beating last year, so finishing 65-97.
But it would be nice to solidify the fact that we were not the worst team in baseball this year.

I was hoping my friend was gonna forget about that bet
had to go double or nothing that the Eagles would win as many games as the Bears
Unfortunate that he didn't.
Good luck with that bet. I feel sorry for your friend though, hardcore Chicago fans don’t have much to be happy about lately. Hopefully he’s a hockey fan.

That was disgraceful, Jeter.
Pretending you were hit by the pitch when you weren’t. Bush league. Shameful. Pathetic.
But the most storied bush-league shameful patheticness in the history of the sport

Not if you cut off their balls
i’d expect it to work in both instances.

And then!
The sonofabitch admits it afterwards and goes “Hmmmphhh! My job to get on base, so suck it.” Two words: Ass Bag. I hope the Mentor puts one between his shoulders Friday so he can remember what it really feels like…

I thought it was cool that he admitted he was acting after the game.
I've been playing baseball since I was six years old, so that's 40 years I've been on a baseball field and around a baseball field, and so our opinions are formulated through facts, not fiction, not their little chat room jargon.
I thought his stuff looked awesome.
94-96 with movement and a power curve? I’ll take it.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
