Game 154: Orioles (63-90) @ Red Sox (88-66), 7:10pm
Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox, Sep 20, 2011 7:10 PM EDT
The memory of the time is fading into the mists, but Erik Bedard used to be on the Orioles. I remember watching him pitch for us, but Bedard doesn't evoke any strong feelings in me. He had one really great year in 2007 with 221 strikeouts in 182 innings and then we traded him. I figured he was due to get hurt again and he did. The trade has amounted to being for Adam Jones and a couple of seasons of George Sherrill. That wasn't quite the return we imagined, but it was still better than keeping Bedard.
Now Bedard is on the Red Sox and he's starting tonight. Nick Markakis and Jeremy Guthrie are the only Orioles left who spent a season on the roster with Bedard. He's had a decent 2011 season, with a 3.50 ERA and 119 strikeouts over 123.1 innings. He is left-handed, so the O's are predisposed to suck against him. And with him striking out a lot of batters, that also makes them predisposed to suck.
Mark Reynolds and Jones are back in the lineup tonight. This could be a good thing, if they are both all the way healthy, which they may not be. I think Reynolds is more likely to be all the way healthy than Jones, whose thumb was still taped up when he pinch-ran last night. But what do I know, really? Not much.
One thing I do know is that Rick VandenHurk starting against this Boston lineup probably won't go much better than did Matusz last night. Maybe it won't turn into an 18-runs-allowed bad game, but come on. The Hurk is making this spot start as something of a sacrificial lamb and God bless him, because he'll need it. The lineup is no joke.
There is always the chance the baseball gods will shine on the Orioles again tonight as they did yesterday afternoon. Boston clings to a two game lead over Tampa Bay in the Wild Card, and if they should happen to lose tonight and Tampa should happen to win, well... things could get really interesting. But first Boston has to lose, which means the Orioles have to win. Will the baseball gods oblige?

For some reason, I'm still watching
and that might be the worst umpiring I’ve seen this week.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
called third strike that was not even close
should be 1st and second, none out
instead, double play with vlad out “stealing second”
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and a little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
GameDay says he swung at it.
You mean called as in he checked his swing and they said he went around?
yes.
home ump said ball
appeal to 3b ump, who said K
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and a little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
ugh that was a called strike 3??
gameday said swinging and shows it way out of the zone
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
not a called strike.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and a little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
Bullshit Strike 2 call
Then a semi-bullshit strike 3 call as Vlad was taking off for 2nd. He pulled up, thinking it was a walk, and kinda slid half-speed into 2nd as he was tagged.
Ump makes a delayed Strike 3 call, and Vlad’s out at second.

Saw the replay
No swing, and Vlad was safe (ump wasn’t even looking at 2nd). Were the umps drunk or what was going on??

I just searched Bad Astronomy.
I’ve been reading that site for almost four years and somehow I never realized he posted about Bill Maher being an anti-vaxxer. Michael Shermer wrote an open letter to him about it:
I just want to talk about blowjobs and baseball man.

flu shots really aren't that controversial
Not sure I’d lump him in with the anti-vaccine crowd based on the fact that he doesn’t get a flu shot. If he starts saying babies shouldn’t be vaccinated then we can talk.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
He said getting a vaccine will make you 10 times more likely to get Alzheimers because of the "mercury"
This is the exact thing that anti-vaccine people claim which is ridiculously untrue.
He said if you have a flu shot 5 years in a row
he didn’t say anything about any of the vaccines that matter.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
How do flu shots not matter?
Besides, the main point in pointing that out is that his thought process on the matter is flawed. The fact is that he presents himself as a skeptic but has said quite a bit of ignorant stuff about vaccines.
I agree the thought process is stupid, but flu shots don't really matter
I’ve never had one.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Unless I see evidence otherwise? I'm not going speculate

I watched it a few times. Looks like Pedrophile went to tag the front of his face and pulled up right as Jones was going past and missed.

by Dave Tucker on Sep 20, 2011 9:11 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
There have been lots of times this year
where the Orioles only had to get 24 outs on there way to another loss on the road.
One of the worst innings ever.
Reynolds drops that easy ball allowing a run to score, and they pick off two runners (one phantom) and then a horrible late call on the K, Buck getting tossed. Jo-Jo Reyes sighting etc etc etc.
We blow.
