PrintBaltimore Orioles at New York Yankees, Sep 6, 2010 1:05 PM EDT
The Orioles are traveling to New York to open up a three-game series with the Yankees today. With the series opener being an afternoon game for Labor Day, this is a rare weekday series with two afternoon games scheduled. We can be fairly sure that because it's a federal holiday, this game will feature one of the most obnoxious renditions of God Bless America ever unleashed upon the hearing of human beings with good taste.
Now, being as we're dealing with New Yankee Stadium, the Yankees in general and particularly Yankee fans, we should not expect good taste. Whenever I hear about the new stadium up there, what strikes me is what is plain in the picture at this link, which I would have as the picture on this post except I don't want SBNation having to pay money to anyone since I don't own the picture. Do me a favor and click on it, though, so that I know you have a visual component to the tirade I am about to uncork.
The thing that stands out the most there is the YANKEE STADIUM up in the back there - which I've always felt they had to include because of the large number of ridiculous corporate ads clogging every inch of real estate in the stadium. If not for that reminder, Yankee fans might think they were in a minor league stadium instead. It's a soulless, corporate experience that is, and ought to be, offensive to anyone grounded in a non-demonic realm.
From that foul miasma comes forth the lowest of the low, the pinstriped pricks who left behind all shame when they donned that uniform and signed their lives away to that mercenary code. Which is to say nothing of their fans, a roach-like infestation of the worst that humanity has to offer to existence - a group of people that, when taken in sum, constitute a damning indictment against the potential for human goodness, especially those entitled meatheads who think they're something special with their total payroll of $206 million, who spend their time worshipping at the altar of the Captain, who, as of this writing, is being paid $22.6 million for a .264/.331/.372 slash line. As that eminent sage Joe Posnanski noted, this is a lower OPS than Yuniesky Betancourt. That this great behemoth ever even loses a single game is remarkable, and truly speaks to the inherent suckiness of all things associated with the so-called storied franchise.
Yet there they are, at the epicenter of the culture of conspicuous consumption, where some among their number pay in the thousands of dollars per game to sit behind home plate, walled off from the proletariat where they can sit and talk on their cell phones and wave at the people who are watching them sit behind home plate. In their arrogance, and ignorance, they believe their joy has meaning, and they believe their success sets them above the common fan. When this great beast is sated, the entire sporting world is diminished. Their tears are mana from the baseball gods. And for the next three games, your Baltimore Orioles have the chance to bring that pain. Know that all who believe in what is good, right and just are behind us. Down, down-forward, forward, punch. hadOOOOOOOOOOken!
Go O's!

This is one of my favorite game write-ups ever.
I knew I’d love the rest of it as soon as I read,

"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
Some stuff about the actual game
Pitching matchup:
AJ Burnett for the Yankees – he of the 5.15 ERA and a 10-12 record. 1.51 WHIP and a $16.5 million salary. Gotta love those Yankees. Luke Scott (28 PA, .739 SLG) and Brian Roberts (44 PA, .571 SLG) have the best numbers against Burnett. Nick Markakis (49 PA, .347 OBP) is kind of decent and everyone else sorta sucks against Burnett, so uh… hopefully that reverses a little today.
Brian Matusz for the O’s – 7-12, 4.72 ERA. Five of his last six starts are QS. In August he had 26 Ks against 7 BB. Now that’s the good stuff. Pitching with an extra day of rest due to the Tillman callup, so hopefully that doesn’t wreck his rhythm. Among Yankee batters with 10+ PA against Matusz, Jeter, Cano and Thames, who are all starting today, have .400+ batting averages. Still pretty small sample sizes though because nobody has more than 15 PA in all.
P.S. Fuck the Yankees.

Go Orioles, we are going to scrap the Yankees.
What's more frustrating than being a Marlins and Orioles fan? Eye surgery???
Trivia: Do you guys know that the Yankees are the original Baltimore Orioles?
They moved from Baltimore to New York and changed their names from Baltimore Orioles to New York Yankees. A few years latter we got another team.
What's more frustrating than being a Marlins and Orioles fan? Eye surgery???
no, a few years latter (sic) we got a minor league team.

the yankees have the exact opposite record of ours
and that will remain for this series, but let’s pull them a little closer together, shall we?
According to O's Insider at The Sun, Adam Jones is not in the lineup but available.
So perhaps we’ll see him back in the starting lineup tomorrow.
He has good numbers against Sabathia too – .899 OPS in 24 PA – so that would be a great way to welcome him back.

.594 doesn't win you the wild card - although it does win you any non-AL East division.
But it’d sure be nice to be in the conversation, wouldn’t it?

I say this in complete honesty
without any exaggeration. When I was at Yankee Stadium this summer I couldn’t believe how many huge cheers there were for routine fly balls. It was ridiculous. I said to my friend, “Didn’t anyone ever teach Yankee fans to look at the outfielders, not the ball?” She didn’t have an answer. I guess she didn’t want to dis her fellow fans.
