Zack Duke vs Liz

[Crazysilver03]

Anyone watching Red Sox and Reds on FOX, Encarnacion just hit a 2-2 pitch from Papelbon, with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, to LF to tie the game!

I am. You didn't hear me cheer?

[Crazysilver03]

Folk hero Paul Bako is trying to win the game!!!

[elrod7]

looks like rain tonight

[longflyball]

All the cool kids are at Hangout Night. Everyone else has to pick up the slack!

[Crazysilver03]

Ugh, Youkilis goes yard and you hear YOUUUUUKK in Cincinatti.

[Crazysilver03]

Ugh, and then Coco Crisp goes yard. F'!

[mrbig1]

Let's kick some Pirate butt tonight.

[McNulty]

Much better anthem tonight.

[blueberryale77]

C'mon O's, win this one for HeatherC12, she's had about all the baseball-related heartbreak a fan can take today with her real team losing to the Wannabe Evil Empire in extras after the big comeback off bigmouth Papelbon.

[itsernst]

Nice Scoop by Huff, horrible throw by Mora.

[mrbig1]

I got a feeling Nick is going to hit one out tonight.

[Crazysilver03]

Dang Mora knocked himself in his knee hard.

[Crazysilver03]

Mora out of the game.

I hope Salazar comes in. Which he is. I wonder if Huff move to 3B or if Salazar stays at 3B.

[McNulty]

Huff to third and Salazar to first?

[Crazysilver03]

Does Salazar take the K or does Mora get the K?

[McNulty]

Does Salazar take the K or does Mora get the K?

Angel just said its Mora's.

[itsernst]

That stinks..hope Mora is ok.

[SkinsO'sFan]

Much better anthem tonight.:laughlol:I was in the last row of the upper deck last night for that anthem, and I was ready to walk out and jump onto Camden Street, and save myself anymore misery from listening to that. Folks, if any of you ever volunteer to sing our Star Spangled Banner in public, please sing it like a normal human being, and know the words too.

[mrbig1]

I checked out Dukes stats the Pirates pitcher. Not very good. We should be able to light him up tonight.

[McNulty]

I checked out Dukes stats the Pirates pitcher. Not very good. We should be able to light him up tonight.

He's been good in his last three starts, and won them all.

[ilovetheos]

Liz throwing all fastballs....interesting.

[Jagwar]

Liz throwing all fastballs....interesting.

Tell you what, he just paralyzed Nady with a curve, and the ump blew the call.

Nady takes advantage of the bad call

[FarmSystem]

Umpire must need some extra money, that was strike three.

[Goober Noodles]

Thanks ump for not calling that slider a strike. Good god hes horrible. THAT WAS RIGHT DOWN THE FREAKIN MIDDLE!!

[itsernst]

i hate nady...

[mrbig1]

Mcnulty, Buzz kill.

[longflyball]

BREAKING NEWS!

Liz threw a changeup.

[Jagwar]

Thanks ump for not calling that slider a strike. Good god hes horrible. THAT WAS RIGHT DOWN THE FREAKIN MIDDLE!!

Looked to me like Hernandez set up outside, and the ump wasn't paying attention

Awesome changeup for the strikeout

[Jagwar]

BREAKING NEWS!

Liz threw a changeup.

And it was devastating

[itsernst]

If Liz can contain his control, he will be nasty. That breaking ball almost broke Nady's ankles.

[blueberryale77]

Dang Mora knocked himself in his knee hard.

How does exactly the same thing happen to two of our players two nights apart? Hopefully this bad thing doesn't come in threes. :bangwall:

Also, is the sound issue with MASN or mlb.tv? The ads on mlb.tv sound fine but I can barely hear the play by play with the volume turned all the way up on both the mlb player and my computer.

[McNulty]

Mcnulty, Buzz kill.

I'm just telling it like it is.

[TGO]

Ump definitely blew that strike three call according to pitch f/x on gameday.

[Goober Noodles]

Oh! CLASSIC! The ump is blind! LITERALLY!

[itsernst]

cmon ump...get your contacts in we got a game to play!

[Crazysilver03]

Oh! CLASSIC! The ump is blind! LITERALLY!

And of course Millar goes over to joke with him.

[Crazysilver03]

Haha! They are playing "I can see clearly now" in the stadium. Classic!

[Jimbo81]

I'm at work. The ump really needed to fix his contacts? He really is blind?:laughlol:

[ilovetheos]

This is the kinda pitcher that could give us fits.

[TGO]

An ump having contact problems is kind of gift-wrapping it for the hecklers. :laughlol:

Good inning there for Liz, two grounders and a pop up.

[HeatherC12]

C'mon O's, win this one for HeatherC12, she's had about all the baseball-related heartbreak a fan can take today with her real team losing to the Wannabe Evil Empire in extras after the big comeback off bigmouth Papelbon.

Thank you. :D I'm bummed the guys couldn't pull off the win but dang it felt good to see my guys give Boston a stroke at the end of that game! Edwin crushed that ball and Papelbon was throwing things in the dugout between innings, LOL :laughlol: I hope the guys are encouraged that aside from a few random things today (and more than a few blown calls by the home plate ump which it sounds like the O's are having trouble with tonight too), they were hanging right there with Boston for the whole game and easily could have ended up taking this one from Boston too. Hopefully Beckett left his good stuff back in Boston and Homer Bailey brought all of his with him for tomorrow's game. I'm greedy now and I want the series!! :clap:

Go O's!!! :)

[Fan4Life]

We need Jones to have a good game...

[TGO]

Jonesy! with the leadoff double. One too many curveballs there.

[Fan4Life]

We need Jones to have a good game...

That's a good start... :D

[TGO]

Brian doubles his pleasure. 1-1

[HeatherC12]

Go Adam and Brian!!!!! :clap:

[itsernst]

Salazar needs to be more patient, I don't think he has seen more than 2 pitches in an AB yet.

[Crazysilver03]

Sanchez's hit was a line drive that got out quick.

[McNulty]

Salazar needs to be more patient, I don't think he has seen more than 2 pitches in an AB yet.

To be fair, the first time he had 2 strikes when he came in.

[itsernst]

liz liz liz...

[itsernst]

To be fair, the first time he had 2 strikes when he came in.

Im not even speaking about today, even the last time he played. He seems eager to please.

[McNulty]

Im not even speaking about today, even the last time he played. He seems eager to please.

Ah, well, I agree with you then.

[mrbig1]

Liz has only given up two hits tonight. The bad news it's two home runs.

[ilovetheos]

he comes back strong after making the mistakes.

[TGO]

Im not even speaking about today, even the last time he played. He seems eager to please.

Can't say I blame him, he hasn't been in the majors for six years. I'm sure the post game spread is much tastier in the bigs (not to mention getting to ride on those new-fangled aero-planes). ;)

That being said, yeah, he needs to relax and just play his game. But that's easy for us to say.

[The Rick]

Liz has only given up two hits tonight. The bad news it's two home runs.

The good news is that he hasn't walked anybody and those home run's have been, as Thorne might say, 1-RBI homers. ;)

[TGO]

65 pitches through 4 for Liz so far. Not bad, not great, hopefully he can get through 6.

[longflyball]

Has anyone noticed that the only out-of-town scores Thorne ever mentions are Boston games?

[McNulty]

Has anyone noticed that the only out-of-town scores Thorne ever mentions are Boston games?

Are they not in first place? Angel and Manfra do the same thing, or mention them first anyways.

[BaltBird 24]

LOL on the Thorne stab at Millar's speed.

[ilovetheos]

where is Quiroz? it seems like he never plays.

[TGO]

Have there been any updates on Mora's knee?

Duke is just getting grounder after grounder.

[longflyball]

Are they not in first place? Angel and Manfra do the same thing, or mention them first anyways.

I don't really see why that's relevant. If they're going to feature out-of-town scores, they ought to make an attempt to run through all of them.

[Crazysilver03]

where is Quiroz? it seems like he never plays.

He will play tomorrow, day game after a night game.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Where is Paul Folk?:(
The crowd at Hangout night needs to yell LOUDER.I cannot hear them!:rolleyes:
Hi All:)
Go Os:)
Kevin Millar leg looks like mine..Why is he playing?:confused:

[mrbig1]

I don't believe it. The league is batting 297 against Duke. If we had a hitter batting 297 he would be leading our team in hitting.

[ilovetheos]

we need to get to there bullpen, I don't like the way Duke is making us look.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Go Adam and Brian!!!!! :clap:

I missed it:o
Please tell me what My Perfect One:hearts:did!!!:clap3:

[McNulty]

I don't really see why that's relevant. If they're going to feature out-of-town scores, they ought to make an attempt to run through all of them.

How isn't it relevant? They are giving the score to the team that's in first place in our division. If they don't have time to cycle through them all, I'm OK with just mentioning the top dog. And isn't "cycling through" what the bottom line thing is for?

I've heard Joe Angel explain many times how he prioritizes the scoreboard readings, and he starts with the top of our division, then the rest of our division, then the rest of the AL, then the top NL teams, then the rest of the NL. It makes sense to me, and if Joe Angel is going to do it that way, then I think we should give Thorne a pass here.

I have many criticisms of Thorne as a baseball announcer, but this would be way down on my list of complaints about him if you ask me. Just my two cents.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Oh! CLASSIC! The ump is blind! LITERALLY!

Blind ump?:eektf:

[TGO]

I missed it:o
Please tell me what My Perfect One:hearts:did!!!:clap3:

Jones hit a double, then Cintron bunted him to third, then Brian doubled.

[cindyluvsbrady]

:
LOL on the Thorne stab at Millar's speed.


:D Hi Baltbird!:)

[Crazysilver03]

Wow, Salazar threw high but thank goodness Huff is tall and could get down.

[McNulty]

Wow, Salazar threw high but thank goodness Huff is tall and could get down.

I wish they'd switch. Huff is adequate over there at least.

[VivianDarkbloom]

where is Quiroz? it seems like he never plays.

Coming into tonight, he's appeared in 35% of the team's games (23/66). Seems normal for a back up catcher.

[The Rick]

Even though it's not college basketball season, i'm finding myself having a special kind of hatred towards the opposing pitcher tonight.

After having a few beers I find myself screaming profanities every time I see "Duke" give up a hit. :wedge:

[ilovetheos]

Coming into tonight, he's appeared in 35% of the team's games (23/66). Seems normal for a back up catcher.

but not when Ramon only deserves 60% or less of play. Look at what Detroit has done with a better catcher in Pudge.

[McNulty]

Even though it's not college basketball season, i'm finding myself having a special kind of hatred towards the opposing pitcher tonight.

I've been busy as all get out and worked till about 6ish today.

Go BROB!!!

DUKE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap3:

[Crazysilver03]

Another double by Roberts to score Jones!

[TGO]

Brian crushes another double. Tie game!

[ilovetheos]

I've been busy as all get out and worked till about 6ish today.

Go BROB!!!

DUKE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap3:

another Duke hater!!!! love it

[Jagwar]

Another double by Roberts to score Jones!

When Roberts is seeing the ball well, it is really difficult to set a defense against him.

[Jagwar]

another Duke hater!!!! love it

You know, if Duke was on the O's, I probably would still say Duke sucks just out of habit

[McNulty]

DUKE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap3:

You should write it like this:


DUKE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

[ilovetheos]

Markakis scuffling again.

[VivianDarkbloom]

It's a travesty that Pedroia is going to be the all-star starter. Brob has .150 OPS points on him.

[cindyluvsbrady]

I love My Perfect One!:hearts:

[blueberryale77]

Look, Ramon, a catcher blocked a tough pitch in the dirt! :eektf:

[HeatherC12]

GO BRIAN!!! Brian having a good night makes my day a little brighter. Go O's!!! :D

[The Rick]

Look, Ramon, a catcher blocked a tough pitch in the dirt! :eektf:

I'm sure Ramon's probably thinking... looks like he'll be in the HOF one day.

[McNulty]

Look, Ramon, a catcher blocked a tough pitch in the dirt! :eektf:

It puts the dirt on the skin....

IT DOES WHAT ITS TOLD!

[cindyluvsbrady]

Jones hit a double, then Cintron bunted him to third, then Brian doubled.

Thank You!:)

[cindyluvsbrady]

GO BRIAN!!! Brian having a good night makes my day a little brighter. Go O's!!! :D

He is truly wonderful!!!!:):clap3:

[ilovetheos]

can't see Markakis' at bats, how does he look? I'm stuck here at work watching on Gameday.

[blueberryale77]

GO BRIAN!!! Brian having a good night makes my day a little brighter. Go O's!!! :D

There is nothing like a hot Brian Roberts to cheer people up. My mom spent today in the hospital with gall stones and Brian's doubles even cheered her up!

On the subject of Brian, what's up with his new at bat song?

[cindyluvsbrady]

Look, Ramon, a catcher blocked a tough pitch in the dirt! :eektf:

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:laughlol:

[The Rick]

Ouch, sorry to hear that.

I'm getting mine taken out July 3rd.

My surgeon told me that a gall bladder attack is the closest a man comes to feeling the pain of a woman giving birth.

I feel sorry for child bearing woman!

[McNulty]

There is nothing like a hot Brian Roberts to cheer people up.

Easy there, this is a family show. :)

Hope your mom feels better...those stones are awful.

What's his new song; I missed it.

Didnt know there was one:eektf:
I hope your Mom is okay
See all the goodness Brian brings to this world!!!!:notworthy:

[ilovetheos]

:)Liz showing he belongs.

[TGO]

Just watched the replay of Brian's second double and he really smoked that ball to the gap in right.

Also, Adam Jones still has a lot to learn about baserunning but when he turns it loose and goes first to home, he is incredible to watch.

[El Gordo]

can't see Markakis' at bats, how does he look? I'm stuck here at work watching on Gameday.
Bad:cussing:

[McNulty]

97 pitches...bring Liz back out?

[cindyluvsbrady]

can't see Markakis' at bats, how does he look? I'm stuck here at work watching on Gameday.

you need to quit!:eektf:

[blueberryale77]

It's a travesty that Pedroia is going to be the all-star starter. Brob has .150 OPS points on him.

Kinsler has been surging in the voting and could beat out Pedroia, which would allow the two 2Bs who have been head and shoulders above the rest in the AL to go. It is pathetic, however, that Brian is 5th and behind the guy with the worst OPS among qualified AL 2B and the votes leader is 9th out of 11 qualifiers.

[VivianDarkbloom]

Very good start from Liz -- quality! I'd give him one more inning, but I wouldn't be surprised if DT lifts him. Either way, the zero walks are very encouraging!

[ilovetheos]

you need to quit!:eektf:

pays good, and wife doesn't work, somebodys gotta put food on the table and we have a lil' one (8 months)

[TGO]

97 pitches...bring Liz back out?

Either way you have to like a 6 IP, 5 K, 0 BB, 3 H line, even with the two homers.

[cindyluvsbrady]

pays good, and wife doesn't work, somebodys gotta put food on the table and we have a lil' one (8 months)

I was kidding;):D
I am sorry!:o

[McNulty]

Either way you have to like a 6 IP, 5 K, 0 BB, 3 H line, even with the two homers.

I'll take it every time.

[ilovetheos]

Millar with a double, let's get him in now!

[cindyluvsbrady]

WOW Kevin!:2yay-thumb::clap:
He CAN play with a leg like mine!:eektf:
Uh Oh...Maier is at Camden Yards!:angryfire::cussing:
Did you see the bad fan?

[McNulty]

Uh Oh...Maier is at Camden Yards!:angryfire::cussing:
Did you see the bad fan?

Shouldn't that little bastard be banned from not only the stadium, but the entire state?

[TGO]

Why no PR for Millar? I know it's a little bit early but he is hobbled and even slower than usual.

[cindyluvsbrady]

NO hurting LUKE allowed!!!!:angryfire:

[cindyluvsbrady]

Why no PR for Millar? I know it's a little bit early but he is hobbled and even slower than usual.

What is PR?

[VivianDarkbloom]

Guthrie PR? Seriously, Millar is gimpy

[TGO]

Pinch runner

[cindyluvsbrady]

Shouldn't that little bastard be banned from not only the stadium, but the entire state?

How about the entire earth?:angryfire:

[McNulty]

Why no PR for Millar? I know it's a little bit early but he is hobbled and even slower than usual.

I thought the very same thing. Came back to bite us there on Ramon's single. I'm hopeful they can get him in still, but you never know.

[blueberryale77]

Ouch, sorry to hear that.

I'm getting mine taken out July 3rd.

My surgeon told me that a gall bladder attack is the closest a man comes to feeling the pain of a woman giving birth.

I feel sorry for child bearing woman!

Well my mom has had me and multiple gall bladder attacks. :eektf: Maybe I helped prepare her for the agony. Unfortunately, I hate to tell you this, but she has already had her gall bladder removed. Some people who have their gall bladders removed have some remaining stones in the biliary ducts that can act up later, which is what they're pretty sure is going on with her. Now, the stone has disappeared kind of like BRob's kidney stone so they hope it made it to the intestines and will now go away, but she has an MRI tomorrow to see if they can find any stones. At times like this, it is pretty stressful living in a different state than your parents. :( Anyway, best of luck with your surgery and I hope they get all the stones with the stupid gall bladder!

[McNulty]

How about the entire earth?:angryfire:


Sold!

He can go to Siberia if he wants...I'm OK with that.

[TGO]

Sold!

He can go to Siberia if he wants...I'm OK with that.

Not Richie Garcia though, he has to go to Mars.

[McNulty]

Not Richie Garcia though, he has to go to Mars.

Maybe they could open up some sort of crappy ump community on Mars.

[HeatherC12]

Blue-Sorry to hear about your mom. Hopefully they don't find anything bad and she gets better very soon. I hated being away from my family when I was in college so I can sympathize with not being able to be there for them. :(

Let's get more runs guys!! :)

[McNulty]

Sweet! Absolut Cintron!

[cindyluvsbrady]

GO MY BELOVED OS!!!!!:2yay-thumb::clap::notworthy:

[ilovetheos]

a SS that can hit?

[blueberryale77]

How in blazes does Ramon think his slow arse can score from first on that?! :cussing:

[cindyluvsbrady]

Maybe they could open up some sort of crappy ump community on Mars.

I like how you think!:clap3::)

[ilovetheos]

does Liz come back out?

[TGO]

Ramon can go first to third but not first to home, I guess.

Still great job Cintron!

[TGO]

Liz takes the hill for the 7th.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Pinch runner

K.....Thanks:)

[RShack]

How in blazes does Ramon think his slow arse can score from first on that?! :cussing:
He did it the other day.
Plus, it's not his job to decide.
His job is to plow into the PIT C and knock him about 5 feet backwards, which he didn't do.

[cindyluvsbrady]

That would have been awesome!:D:clap3:

[McNulty]

Angel, "So from now on, the 6th inning will be known as the deep 6", after stating that the O's have scored more runs in the 6th then any other inning this year.

[longflyball]

Wow. I just downloaded Firefox onto my new computer and discovered it's noticeably faster than IE.

[ilovetheos]

Liz with a tremendous day, love how he battles.

[blueberryale77]

Easy there, this is a family show. :)

Hope your mom feels better...those stones are awful.

Submersed - We All Make Mistakes lyrics (http://www.lyrics007.com/Submersed%20Lyrics/We%20All%20Make%20Mistakes%20Lyrics.html)

To know you,
Is to know the love an angel,
Sent from above,
To save me,
From all of the heartache I've known
To hold you,
Is to hold in my arms the forgiveness,
Of a compassionate heart,
to complete the pieces in this puzzle of life

We all make mistakes
In our lives, that's the way
It is, So hold onto what is right
We all get the chance in our lives,
To make right
If I've hurt you,
I am sorry,
Forgive me,
Forgive me

To show you,
This hole in my heart
Is to show you what you have filled from the start
With your love you broke the chains that bound me
With the strings of heavens that brought us together,
Leaves no doubt that this will last forever,
Until the end of time

We all make mistakes
In our lives, that's the way
It is, So hold onto what is right
We all get the chance in our lives,
To make right
If I've hurt you,
I am sorry,
Forgive me

I hear a voice on the winds of a whipser
It speaks to me
To tell me that I'm on a road,
It says,
"Peace, will never be achieved through silence
Come one day,
May you find a way
To see"

We all make mistakes
In our lives that's the way
It is, So hold onto what is right
We all get the chance in our lives,
To make right
If I've hurt you,
I am sorry,
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me

True, definitely Samuel shares the blame... and RH did get close enough that he could have had a chance with a proper (takeout) slide. The ball he scored from first on the other day got a good bit farther away from the outfielders IIRC.

[cindyluvsbrady]

cindyluvsbrady, I got your PM but it wouldn't open, I think it was a pop up blocker.

You can get it now. Either RC2 or RC3, same thing if you're using a PC, RC3 if you have a Mac. I've been using it for a while. Faster than the old one.

[HeatherC12]

That is a GREAT song. I can see it going two ways. One, asking for forgiveness from someone here, or two, asking God for forgiveness for something. It's definitely an interesting choice. Does Brian use Christian music for his songs that often? I don't remember him using any at the games I saw last year in Baltimore.

[blueberryale77]

FUDGE!!! :mad::angryfire::cussing:

[cindyluvsbrady]

[ilovetheos]

Albers you just ripped my heart out, after saying you wouldn't throw curveballs to get people out.

[VivianDarkbloom]

Well that sucked, but Palmer's groan was hilarious. It was almost simultaneous with the contact

[mrbig1]

Albers baby, you just broke my heart.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Yes he does!:)
I love him!!!!!

[Crazysilver03]

And everyone wants to put Albers in the rotation right now when he is sucking why?

Maybe the big crowd caused him to burn his Cubs hat ;-)

[ilovetheos]

dang Liz didn't deserve that at all, but I'm not sure he should have stayed in after the walk in the inning...hindsight is 20-20 :(

[RipkenWay]

And everyone wants to put Albers in the rotation right now when he is sucking why?

That is exactly what I was thinking. Why we would want Albers as a starter is beyond me. :confused:

[cindyluvsbrady]

dang Liz didn't deserve that at all, but I'm not sure he should have stayed in after the walk in the inning...hindsight is 20-20 :(

I hope you see my apology in the thread:(

[glenn__davis]

2nd straight game Albers has blown a 4-2 lead for Liz.

[Joe'sO's]

I has a feeling that was going to happen. Should have had Albers start the inning or at least took him out after the walk. Liz had done his job,nothing left to prove. Now a very good outting turns to crap.

[TGO]

In addition, it would have been the right thing to do...

Ramon made the right play. Doumit was behind and to the third base side of the plate, so Ramon tried to hook around the front. That is the textbook play. Running into him would have been incredibly stupid.

Ramon just ran out of gas so he didn't have any force on the slide.

That was one heck of a relay throw by Jack Wilson BTW, because McLouth's throw to him was garbage. McLouth's throw was probably what made Samuel send Ramon, it was that awful.

[Goober Noodles]

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[mrbig1]

Our hitters are coming up.

[TGO]

Brian works a single. Wonder what he will do here. Grabow paying close attention.

Does Brian use Christian music for his songs that often? I don't remember him using any at the games I saw last year in Baltimore.

Nope, he's had the instrumental version of a Notorious BIG song, Hypnotize (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnqrnUuvy7w) for the past several years, which everyone thought was kind of an odd choice for Brian considering that he (almost) never swears and doesn't like rap. In a way I think it's kind of cool that Brian would choose something that obviously has a deep personal meaning for him instead of something that just sounds good, but it's almost a little awkward to listen to in such a public venue. Coming from Brian, it's adorable... from anyone else, it might be a little creepy. :o

[ilovetheos]

I hope you see my apology in the thread:(

for what? the job comment? don't worry bout it, just jealous you guys are watching it!

[RShack]

Ramon made the right play. Doumit was behind and to the third base side of the plate, so Ramon tried to hook around the front. That is the textbook play. Running into him would have been incredibly stupid.
The C had the dang ball. BRob was motioning for him to get down, but Ramon saw the C with the ball and tried to tiptoe around him. Ramon's no ballerina, he shoulda knocked him on his butt, and hope it comes loose...

But it's all 2nd-guessing... too late now...

[cindyluvsbrady]

What is PR?

I cannot believe I got negative rep for asking this ?:002_scry:
I am NOT stupid:angryfire: I know what a pinch runner is
I had not not seen that abrrevation for pinch runner before:(
The person who gave me rep for that was cruel!

[Jagwar]

Baloney. Liz still had a very good outing, and Albers allowed two inherited runners to score.

[TGO]

But it's all 2nd-guessing... too late now...

By the time Doumit got in front of the plate it was too late to hit him. I watched this play three or four times. Ramon just plain ran out of gas, no matter what he did he wasn't going to have any force behind it. It was either flop on the ground or try to hit a moving brick wall.

[Crazysilver03]

Markakis HOMERUN!!!!

[longflyball]

I got a feeling Nick is going to hit one out tonight.

Cheers!!!!!!!!

[McNulty]

Way To Go Nicky!!!

[ilovetheos]

my boy Markakis!!!

agree, that was kinda mean.

[cindyluvsbrady]

I love NICK M:002_sdrool::clap:

[blueberryale77]

Yeah, Nick looks terrible at the plate... just like Brian can't steal bases anymore! :clap3:

[HeatherC12]

It is kind of cool and I like seeing guys use music that means something to them. Josh Hamilton used Tobymac (a Christian rock band) for his music when he was with Cincy and I loved hearing that music! It shows some of the guy's personality when they choose music that kind of makes you think about the reasons why. And hey, at least he's not like Adam Dunn and using "Sister Christian" for his song which Dunn has done for the last like two years, LOL :laughlol: (Ryan Freel using s Suzanne Vega song is even funnier though, LOL)

[Goober Noodles]

HAhAHAHAHaHA WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ITS MY LUCKY JERSEY!

I'm so going out tonight wearing this jersey. Mwuahahahaha.

[TonySoprano]

Mar-Krushed. 6-5

[RShack]

Markakis scuffling again.
Right ...

[mrbig1]

Check out page one. I told you guys Nick was going to hit one out tonight.

[ilovetheos]

Cheers!!!!!!!!

good call on that one :clap3:

[ilovetheos]

Right ...

good to see I got him back on track...haha j/k.

[mrbig1]

Thank you longflyball.

[HeatherC12]

WEEEE! GO Nick!!!! My fantasy team loves you for that right now after the up and down week you've given me so far, LOL :laughlol:

[ilovetheos]

who comes in to pitch for us?

[ilovetheos]

WEEEE! GO Nick!!!! My fantasy team loves you for that right now after the up and down week you've given me so far, LOL :laughlol:

I know my team has been terrible hitting today, needed that from him for sure.

[orayole]

YAY Kakes!!!

Yea I'm late.

[McNulty]

I think Manfra just said that was the 17th Oriole homer onto Eutaw.

[Crazysilver03]

Bynum pinch running for Millar.

i gave you some positive to get you back

[cindyluvsbrady]

agree, that was kinda mean.

Thank You:)

[blueberryale77]

I really like Nick hitting directly behind Brian. He doesn't seem the least bit distracted by all the action on the bases and is outstanding at taking advantage when he gets cookies because the pitcher is rattled.

[ilovetheos]

1st HR he's given up to a lefty.

[blueberryale77]

Bynum pinch running for Millar.

Where's Jeremy?! :laughlol:

[cindyluvsbrady]

i gave you some positive to get you back

You are very kind:) Thank You!
That comment made me cry:002_scry:

[jclrh]

So much for Luke not being able to hit lefties...

[ilovetheos]

Luke Scott CAN hit lefties. :)

[ilovetheos]

You are very kind:) Thank You!
That comment made me cry:002_scry:

me too, you are a nice touch to this board.

[Crazysilver03]

who comes in to pitch for us?

Bradford was warming up.

[Crazysilver03]

Payton in for Scott.

[McNulty]

32K tonight's attendance. Not bad.

[The Rick]

I'm loving Scott's .888 OPS. What a stud, i'm glad we got him. He's a great guy and quickly becoming a fan favorite. BTW - Maybe Scott and BRob are like Christian buddies all of a sudden? Seems like a better influence than Tejada might have been in the clubhouse, i'm kind of teasing here.

I was thinking about the fact that Tejada will be back in B-More on Tuesday and was wondering what I would do if I were at that game. I think i'd cheer him pretty hard when his name was announced. On one hand he came up pretty dirty in the Mitchell Report and all that jazz. On the other, he really did give his heart and soul into this team when he got here.

[blueberryale77]

Bradford was warming up.

:pray: Heather, can you think of an appropriate Christian rock song for this occasion? ;)

I'm just kidding. Basically, I agree with Kevin Costner's line in For Love of the Game when it comes to praying about baseball... although sometimes I do get tempted too! :o

[mrbig1]

Why take Scott bat out of the line up? This game is not over.

[McNulty]

:pray: Heather, can you think of an appropriate Christian rock song for this occasion? ;)

This is kind of a pun, but how about Lord I lift your name on high (since he throws so low)?

I don't know squat about Christian rock tho...

[RShack]

I have faith in Mr Bradford to help us have a nice, boring 8th inning...

[Crazysilver03]

Why take Scott bat out of the line up? This game is not over.

Because we are playing to keep the lead now. Trembley thinks Payton is better defensively then Scott.

[El Gordo]

:pray: Heather, can you think of an appropriate Christian rock song for this occasion? ;)How about Lord have mercy, save me Lord. :laughlol:No. I guess that's more Gospel than rock.:scratchchinhmm:

[El Gordo]

So is Bynum now the DH?:eek:

[The Rick]

How about Lord have mercy, save me Lord. :laughlol:No. I guess that's more Gospel than rock.:scratchchinhmm:

Yeah, if we're going gospel i'm thinking... "Are you ready for a miracle, ready as I can be!" ;)

[jclrh]

WOW... what a pitch

[McNulty]

I have faith in Mr Bradford to help us have a nice, boring 8th inning...

Thank you sir.

[jclrh]

Poor Freddy Sanchez... that pitch should be featured in Baseball Tonight

[ilovetheos]

How about Lord have mercy, save me Lord. :laughlol:No. I guess that's more Gospel than rock.:scratchchinhmm:

You Raise Me Up?

[blueberryale77]

This is kind of a pun, but how about Lord I lift your name on high (since he throws so low)?

I don't know squat about Christian rock tho...

I just hope no batters lift Bradford's pitches on high! :eektf:

I'm no expert, but I'd vote for something by Switchfoot. Every time I hear something on the local Christian radio station that I really like, it turns out to be them. I can't think of one that applies though.

[AgentOrange]

That pitch was dirty to Sanchez....


Get it? ;)

[RShack]

Gameday pitch-graphics for Bradford are amusing...

[Crazysilver03]

So is Bynum now the DH?:eek:

Yes, though we could pinch hit with Quiroz.

[blueberryale77]

Bradford's fielding makin Jim Palmer mad!

[Crazysilver03]

Gameday pitch-graphics for Bradford are amusing...

Heh! They look like cannon shots!

[The Rick]

Gameday pitch-graphics for Bradford are amusing...

They definitely are. In fact, it's crazy to check the pitcher and find out he's taller than 3 feet.

[Crazysilver03]

Beautiful double play to end the inning. Lets get some more runs.

[HeatherC12]

:pray: Heather, can you think of an appropriate Christian rock song for this occasion? ;)

I'm just kidding. Basically, I agree with Kevin Costner's line in For Love of the Game when it comes to praying about baseball... although sometimes I do get tempted too! :o

Hmmm, let me think.....how about "Enough" by BarlowGirl? The song isn't really about this but I think sometimes I've had just about 'enough' of Bradford, LOL :laughlol:

WOOT. While I was typing, the inning ended so YAY for the timing! ;)

[RShack]

Bradford's fielding makin Jim Palmer mad!
Just letting them practice their DP's... for a NICE BORING 8th inning... which I really, really like...

[mrbig1]

That's what I'm talking about. Now let's get some more runs!

[RShack]

Heh! They look like cannon shots!
From a cannon manned by friggin' gophers a few inches on the 3B side of the rubber ;-)

[Crazysilver03]

Loved watching Jones leg that hit out!

[ilovetheos]

AJ is on fire!

[HeatherC12]

The Reds #1 draft pick just hit a tiebreaking HR in the Miami CWS game and his team now leads 4-3! That's pretty cool. :D

Go O's!!! Hey Brian, time to have one of your 4-5 nights, okay?! You're helping my fantasy team a lot tonight too, LOL ;)

[VivianDarkbloom]

I thought everyone might like to know that cindy left me retaliatory negative rep. So, it wasn't for anything I posted, it's because I left some honest rep, she didn't like it, and an administrator told her who left it(unless there is some other way to know who left what).

[The Rick]

Beautiful game by Cintron. Doing those team things to help win ballgames, and oh yeah... a 2-run bases loaded double!

[TonySoprano]

We need an insurance run and BRob has been clutch so far.

[ilovetheos]

Beautiful game by Cintron. Doing those team things to help win ballgames, and oh yeah... a 2-run bases loaded double!

yeah, should he be the starter not backup?

When you are a plus member you can see who left you rep.

You can tell who leaves you rep, positive or negative.

So you gave her neg rep for not knowing what PR meant?

[VivianDarkbloom]

When you are a plus member you can see who left you rep.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification. I obviously retract any implication of an administrator's involvement.

If you go to UserCP, it tells you who gave you rep.

Alonso is the Reds #1 prospect now?

[The Rick]

yeah, should he be the starter not backup?

It's a moot point, IMO. I think splitting time between Bynum and Cintron is working nicely. We don't necessarily have a starting SS, so I don't think either of them should play a whole lot more than the other.

[vatech1994]

Man, this team has a ton of lefties....

[blueberryale77]

Plus members can see who left all their rep points. Hopefully this will serve as a lesson to everyone about the rep system. Neg rep should be used as little as possible and only for rule violations, not because you just don't like somebody's post or for retaliation.
