I wonder how many of the Birds will show up looking like this (http://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/album.php?albumid=20)?

Ha...Roberts looks like the jolly green giant logo in one of this pictures.

Trembley looks like the Nature Boy.

Wooooooooooooooo!!!!

[itsernst]

Im having issues with Firefox 3.0 and Mlb.tv! GRRRRRRRR

[The Wedge]

Im having issues with Firefox 3.0 and Mlb.tv! GRRRRRRRR

Probably have to manually load the compatible type player add on. I got that a couple times since I upgraded to 3.0.

[The Wedge]

Berkman annoys me. He's like a gnat. A really big gnat.

[Juanvald]

Are you kidding me? What kind of defensive set up was that by Cintron? Easy ground ball to short stop for the 3rd out..oh wait, he wasnt playing short. He was standing halfway to third.

[wickedwitch]

Burres is looking pretty good, despite the run.

[weams]

Im having issues with Firefox 3.0 and Mlb.tv! GRRRRRRRR

Mine appears to be working. Lucky me since 3.0 is my first Fox.

[weams]

Bobble head time!

Or not

[LA2]

Hi--Decided to stay home (visiting my parents in Timonium--I live now in Miami). Didn't feel it was going to be worth it to go down to the Yard to watch Burres. Can anyone tell me whether he made any effort to hold Bourne on first in the top of the inning? For some reason, he threw over when Berkman was on. Thanks.

[Peace21]

Atleast we are hitting the ball far on Chacon, just not out of the ballpark.

[The Wedge]

Yeah he did.

Of course, he just grooved one to Pence.

[Why Not?]

Burress has been a bit unlucky so far. Keep it together lefty.

[Crazysilver03]

Burres isnt showing that he deserves to keep his spot right now.

[Peace21]

Im impressed with Pence. Heard alot about him during the offseason on here.

[FarmSystem]

He's pitching himself out of baseball right now.

[Peace21]

He's pitching himself out of baseball right now.

Palmer just sumed it up. "Burress has been pitching for us for 2 years so far, and still cant find a strike zone to work with."

[Why Not?]

He's pitching himself out of baseball right now.

Hard to fault Burress too much so far tonight. Bunt single, a steal and slow roller was the first run. Pence's HR came on a decent pitch, low and in. Pence just golfed it to the most homer-friendly part of the park.

The walk is probably the worst thing he's done so far.

[itsernst]

Probably have to manually load the compatible type player add on. I got that a couple times since I upgraded to 3.0.

Mlb Mosaic is sick...the hell with firefox for watching games. :)

[blueberryale77]

mkay...thats just creepy.

Aw, come on. Photoshop is fun!

[PaulFolk]

Five batters and five loud fly balls so far for the Birds. But only one has resulted in a hit.

[itsernst]

Aw, come on. Photoshop is fun!

I am about to buy CS3! Great program...i still want my this is birdland "300" edition :)

[The Wedge]

When did Ramon start sporting the high sock look?

[LA2]

Five batters and five loud fly balls so far for the Birds. But only one has resulted in a hit.

Bodes well for the next time thru the lineup tho ;) -- Wd love to get into their bullpen early.

[itsernst]

wow...hernandez has a two game hit streak...whoopie.

[weams]

Let's tie it here.

Or go ahead. Jay loves to hit with runners on.

[blueberryale77]

Wonder if any would have gone out in the days before the stupid hotel?

[LA2]

Did they show the bobblehead yet?

[blueberryale77]

wow...hernandez has a two game hit streak...whoopie.

That's almost as notable as a 10-gamer is for Roberts or Markakis. ;)

[The Wedge]

Did they show the bobblehead yet?

Yup, looks just like the promo pics they would show.

[LA2]

Wow--the first 25,000 over 15 yrs old get one? I think I can still get one. Going to run down and do the Boog and bleachers deal too. See you later!

Doubt you get one, but good luck!

[blueberryale77]

This A's blogger (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/author?blogid=21&auth=102&o=40) was right. Jay Payton does look a lot better not wearing a baseball uniform (http://www.sfgate.com/blogs/images/sfgate/athletics/2006/05/09/jaypayton254x500.jpg). :eektf:

[wickedwitch]

Burres has no luck tonight.

[blueberryale77]

Man, Cintron is really bad defensively... and it's not just his arm. :(

[Why Not?]

Tejada is destroying knees this AB. Thank God I'm under this desk.

[blueberryale77]

Wow, look at Miggi run... and with a bruised knee to boot... but BRob is too quick for his old DP partner! :smile11:

[JimDH]

These guys are not exactly tearing the cover off the ball are they? The one home run pitch aside of course.

[blueberryale77]

:cussing: second basemen playing first! :angryfire:

Solid baserunning by Cintron though.

[Why Not?]

Matt Albers' Dad = good folk.

[FarmSystem]

Free run time

[itsernst]

walk in rbi's work for me.

[Why Not?]

Nice job Blondie. He took his one shot then sat and waited for the walk.

[JimDH]

Thats a clutch walk

[TonySoprano]

We caught a break there.

[FarmSystem]

Scott isn't a good rbi man outside his home runs.

[Peace21]

Will this team ever have a 9-2 game?

[PaulFolk]

I can't believe Chacon has only give up one run in three innings. He's been pitching absolutely terribly. He can't find the plate, and the O's are smoking the ball all over the place.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, I guess.

Being patient with this type of pitcher isn't really an option, gotta make him throw it over the plate.

[TinCup]

Thats a clutch walk

err..this sounds very cliche-ish! A clutch walk....

Run scored and that's waht counts!

[JimDH]

7 pitch inning for Burres.

[FarmSystem]

Hell freezing over as Ramon hits a home run!

[orayole]

Ramon Homerun!

[itsernst]

Ramon comes through!

[TinCup]

Ramon Homerun!\
trade him NOW...his value will never be higher!!!

[Pushmonkey]

Ramon how can i get mad at you if you do well:scratchchinhmm:

[JimDH]

That's a clutch home run right there

[orayole]

Cintron Homerun!

[Crazysilver03]

Cintron HOMERUN.

He should be our shortstop from here on out.

[TinCup]

That's a clutch home run right there

u like this word "clutch" don't you Jim... ;)

[Why Not?]

Shawn Chacon is showing his Shawn Chacon-ness.

[itsernst]

first HR by our SS!!!!!!!!!

[Pushmonkey]

Cintron HR....Ramon HR:confused: Why is going on here?

It's someone new each night.:mwahaha:

[TonySoprano]

If you bet that Hernandez and Cintron would both homer in this inning, claim your winning ticket.

[Sideburns]

I have a sudden craving for Absolut vodka!

[OriolesManiac88]

First HR by a SS all season. Thats a sad stat indeed. But congrats on your first O's HR, Alex. Heres to some more in the future.

[Pushmonkey]

I have a sudden craving for Absolut vodka!

I have a sudden craving for your aviator.

[JimDH]

u like this word "clutch" don't you Jim... ;)

Yeah we have to hurry up and get to this pitcher while he is still in there and not fooling anybody. Looks like we are now.

[blueberryale77]

BRob flies out on a pitch around his ankles... which he was forced to swing at because the called strike two was just as low and outside.

BTW congrats to Alex Cintron on our first SS homerun of the year!

[TinCup]

Cintron for Mayor!

[Pushmonkey]

Cintron showing some range.

[Why Not?]

I have a sudden craving for your aviator.

He has an airplane pilot?????

[Pushmonkey]

The 'Stros are playing like my typos---bad.

[JimDH]

probably our last time through last chance against this guy.

[The Wedge]

Who put the Twinkie on Millar's helmet? Getting the double!

[blueberryale77]

Wow, the Astros didn't scout us very well. They were so shocked Millar was trying to stretch a single into a double that they forgot to throw him out!

[OnTheBlack]

Honestly, I can't remember rooting for any team period where I truly feel like our comeback is inevitable. I checked in and it was 2-0 Astros - and I just thought to myself: "we'll come back from this, no sweat." Really incredible... who would have thought this team would have the guts to do this sort of thing game in and game out? We are supposed to be the worst team in the MLB, remember?

This team is flat out ridiculous.

[Pushmonkey]

Wow, the Astros didn't scout us very well. They were so shocked Millar was trying to stretch a single into a double that they forgot to throw him out!

My wife just ask why did they not try to throw him out?

my response: Miggy had the ball and was confused .

[Pushmonkey]

A MDM just happened to the 'stros.

[weams]

I like
Shawn Chacon

[blueberryale77]

Did Ramon and the Astros' catcher trade places today? Because that dropped pop up was vintage Ramon and our catcher has not been hitting like Ramon Hernandez lately.

[weams]

I really, really like Shawn Chacon

[TonySoprano]

Will this team ever have a 9-2 game?
We're a field goal away.

[blueberryale77]

Nice hit Payton! Too bad I don't have shirtless pictures of all the O's working out to post in the game threads.

[Peace21]

We're a field goal away.

Hey whats up Tony. Love the avaitor. Hopefully we can get our starting pitcher the win tonight.

[rooter]

Nice hit Payton! Too bad I don't have shirtless pictures of all the O's working out to post in the game threads.

Spare us the Ramon, Millar and Huff pictures.

[blueberryale77]

My wife just ask why did they not try to throw him out?

my response: Miggy had the ball and was confused .

It didn't look like Matsui was in position to catch a throw from him anyway. Seriously, Matsui bugs me just because he's such a bad 2B. He makes Ian Kinsler look like a defensive wiz.

[Pushmonkey]

Nice hit Payton! Too bad I don't have shirtless pictures of all the O's working out to post in the game threads.

Umm....:no:

[Pushmonkey]

Instant replay

Edit:nevermind


but Buress is starting to get smacked.

[mrbig1]

I'm glad we have scored some runs. Those late inning come back wins:laughlol: were getting old.

[orayole]

Tejada homerun :down:

[The Wedge]

Stop booing Tejada, ya heathens.

[weams]

Well we may have one yet.

[Pushmonkey]

Albers is starting to warm.

[The Wedge]

Instant replay

It was definitely out, that was trash or something that a fan dropped trying to get the ball.

[orayole]

Nice hit Payton! Too bad I don't have shirtless pictures of all the O's working out to post in the game threads.

Find one of Amber and it's a deal. ;)

[PaulFolk]

Stop booing Tejada, ya heathens.
I have no problem with booing a homerun by the opposition. But yeah, I don't know why Tejada has been getting booed so much in general.

[blueberryale77]

Stop booing Tejada, ya heathens.

Perhaps this time they were booing the HR call thinking the ball hit the wall and stayed in the park?

[The Wedge]

Perhaps this time they were booing the HR call thinking the ball hit the wall and stayed in the park?

They've been booing him all night, so I doubt it.

[Pushmonkey]

2 down lets get out of this inning.

[blueberryale77]

They've been booing him all night, so I doubt it.

Stupid O's fans. How do they think guys like Roberts or Markakis who they might like to see signed to extensions feel about them booing their old friend?

[Pushmonkey]

5 2/3 for the starter.

1st and 2nd and Albers is coming in.

[Trace21230]

Albers coming in.

I have a request, Matt. No three run bomb this time.

[Trace21230]

1-2 count.

K this bum!

[The Wedge]

Albers coming in.

I have a request, Matt. No three run bomb this time.

Request: fulfilled.

[Bleed Orange]

phew! off the bat i thought that was headed for right center

[blueberryale77]

"Brian Roberts is tall enough."

There's something you don't hear every day.

[Why Not?]

Stupid O's fans. How do they think guys like Roberts or Markakis who they might like to see signed to extensions feel about them booing their old friend?

I believe those two were in the white guy clique, so they probably don't care.

[Bleed Orange]

I'd like to see Albers again in the 7th, Johnson in the 8th and the Sheriff in the 9th.

[The Wedge]

"Brian Roberts is tall enough."

There's something you don't hear every day.

Unless its followed by "to ride this ride," anyway.

[Trace21230]

Request: fulfilled.
Sweet!

Nine more outs to go.

Only 36 hours until I leave for my Milwaukee/Chicago trip.

:clap3:

[The Wedge]

I'd like to see Albers again in the 7th, Johnson in the 8th and the Sheriff in the 9th.

I'd like to see them break it open and have Albers carry it home, maybe use Sarfate in mop up late if he tires.

[Trace21230]

I'd like to see them break it open and have Albers carry it home, maybe use Sarfate in mop up late if he tires.
If we do get a six or seven run lead, I'd like to see Walker get some work.

[Pushmonkey]

Middy still is allergic to diving for balls.

[blueberryale77]

I believe those two were in the white guy clique, so they probably don't care.

This is a joke, right?

"For me, it was hard to hear sometimes, the criticism from the media and the fans," said Roberts, who remains close friends with Tejada. "I thought that they gave him a harder time than he deserved. He liked being here, loved the team, loved the city. He just didn't like losing. I would think fans would appreciate that."

...and now Brian likes Miggi even more because he didn't get to that ball.

Roberts stolen base!

[EddieO's21]

That was so stupid Brian....wow...another base running mistake

[Bleed Orange]

this getting picked off crap has to stop. enough dancing off bases Brian!

[Juanvald]

While Oriole Magic is great and stuff...these base running blunders are just absolutely atrocious. What was Brian thinking?? Just ruined a good start to the inning.

[Juanvald]

And Markakis swings at ball 4. 2 outs nobody on..way to build on a lead! Give us one easy win please!!!

[Bleed Orange]

If we do get a six or seven run lead, I'd like to see Walker get some work.

this is hilarious.

Roberts and tejada talking then Roberts picked off--- Roberts is to Huston like Millar is to Boston. Helping the other teams win.

Yup. Miggi knew him too well. Brian loves to chat up the SS and then take off as he's still talking to him. It worked a few times, but at least Miggi and Jeter have him figured out now.

Just six more outs. Let's go O's

At this point you can cut the excitement with a kinfe! :2yay-thumb:

Berkman is rather annoying.

It is SO FUN to be an Oriole fan again. I bow to MacPhail and Trembley. Thank you guys.


It is really great not to lose every game after leading until the seventh.:boogie::boogie::boogie:

[blueberryale77]

Thorne just said "Sidney Pon-SAHN" signed with the Yankees.

Also, MY Perfect One :hearts: has really picked things up defensively of late... or maybe he just looks extra awesome because the other middle infielders in this series are Miggi, Kaz Matsui, Cintron and Bynum. ;)

[Trace21230]

Johnson had a quick 8th inning with the double play ball. Any chance he's left in to finish the game? It's not a save situation...

[Pushmonkey]

Throwing at Payton:confused:

[Trace21230]

Payton hit by pitch. Cintron follows with another hit, an opposite field single.

Sarfate up in the pen.

Let's get some KATZ insurance runs.

[blueberryale77]

Johnson had a quick 8th inning with the double play ball. Any chance he's left in to finish the game? It's not a save situation...

If he doesn't stay in, it'd better be Sarfate or somebody. No excuse for using Sherrill here. He needs as much extra rest as possible for awhile.

[TinCup]

Cintron for Gov' ner! :laughlol:

[blueberryale77]

Nice baserunning Payton. Matsui tried to give you a chance to get back and you didn't take it. :rolleyestf::angryfire:

[orayole]

Thorne just said "Sidney Pon-SAHN" signed with the Yankees.



Well at least on this one it's not like anyone says it right anyway. Most people call him "Pon-sone" but it's really "Pon-sun". Sidney let it go on because he didn't care.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Alright that's it weams, you and pushmonkey are dead men! :angryfire: :epic:


LOL!!!:D
Way to go My Perfect One!!!!!!!:hearts::2yay-thumb::clap::notworthy:
I got distracted:eektf:I have a 1000 kids sleeping over:eek:

[PaulFolk]

Sarfate is in.

[blueberryale77]

Cintron for Gov' ner! :laughlol:

Can he sing better than O'Malley?

[mrbig1]

oK, let's put this one in the books.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Look for the link on the first page of this thread or on my profile. :laughlol:

I will!!:)

[blueberryale77]

Sarfate is in.

Good. Although I am still kind of mad at him for naming his baby after Ian Kinsler. ;)

[The Wedge]

Well at least on this one it's not like anyone says it right anyway. Most people call him "Pon-sone" but it's really "Pon-sun". Sidney let it go on because he didn't care.

Really? That reminds me of the old football coach when I went to high school. Coach Rigot. Everybody pronounced it "rig-it." My senior year for some reason we got in to a conversation during a class and he said his name was actually pronounced "rig-o," that it was French but he stopped trying to correct people after the first year or so.

[The Wedge]

Damnit Sarfate, Sherril shouldn't even be warming, but you can't find the strike zone, and now you can't throw it to second.

Edit, not that Cintron is any less to blame, he shoulda scooped that.

[itsernst]

Feed Cintron to the dogs!

[Ned from York]

Trembley channeling his 'inner-Perlozzo'.

[orayole]

Cintron could have recovered that better even after missing. He just let it go.

[ForeverAnO]

Johnson 1.1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1.11

Johnson's night of ones.

[Why Not?]

Suck it up guys, three more outs.

Ugh! Cintron's gotta catch that! :angryfire:

Why can't we have a SS that can hit and field? :cussing:

However, that play might have gone easier if Sarfate had let it go by him so BRob could field it... or if he hadn't made a low throw.

[Why Not?]

Cintron could have recovered that better even after missing. He just let it go.

I don't think he knew he missed it, then didn't know where it went. Then Moe poked him in the eyes.

[EddieO's21]

jeeeze can we not make this interesting please

[The Wedge]

Thatta boy, 2 more.

[blueberryale77]

Feed Cintron to the dogs!

If you want him thrown off a bridge with the dogs, there's someone in this game who could help with that. ;)

[The Wedge]

Trembley channeling his 'inner-Perlozzo'.

Not sure how anything he's done is even Perlozzo-ish, or even Perlozzo-esque, let alone channeling the man. Trembley didn't walk the lead off batter then botch what shoulda been a DP.

[blueberryale77]

Guys, DO NOT make the Sherriff get up! :mad:

Never mind, he's already up. :cussing:

This season is going to become a lot less fun if his arm falls off!

[Ned from York]

There is no way Sarfate should be in the game after Johnson.

[The Wedge]

Guys, DO NOT make the Sherriff get up! :mad:

He's been up ever since Sarfate walked the leadoff batter.

[Crazysilver03]

There is no way Sarfate should be in the game after Johnson.

Why not? It was a non save situation and Johnson worked 1.1 innings. Do you want Walker or Cormier in the game.

[Peace21]

I like it..the Sherriff

[EddieO's21]

terrible outing tonight for sarfate...really couldn't find the strike zone at all

[Ned from York]

Tejada will tie this baby.:(

[blueberryale77]

Apparently Dennis has been staying up all night changing diapers or something. :(

[mrbig1]

I don't like what I'm seeing.

[Bleed Orange]

Sarfate has no clue where his ball is going. No way he should pitch after the 8th in ANY game.

[Trace21230]

Prayers please.

[The Wedge]

There is no way Sarfate should be in the game after Johnson.

Make up your mind. Do you want Trembley to burn Johnson out? Because he uses him a lot. Leaving him in with a 4 run lead when you got other arms in the pen that are rested would be quite the Perlozzo move. It's not his fault that Sarfate couldn't find the strike zone, or second base.

Sucks we gotta bring Sherril out, but that's on Sarfate (and Cintron), not Trembley.

[cindyluvsbrady]

LOL!
GO SHERIFF!!!!!:clap3:

[Ned from York]

Exactly BO, he should have come in 6-2, then Albers, then Johnson to finish.

[The Wedge]

Exactly BO, he should have come in 6-2, then Albers, then Johnson to finish.

I guess you want Johnson's arm to fall off.

[EddieO's21]

well tejada couldn't ask for anything more

[Crazysilver03]

Exactly BO, he should have come in 6-2, then Albers, then Johnson to finish.

What is the difference. It is still a four run lead.

[Trace21230]

One reason I love George is that he doesn't mess around. No nibbling!

Fly ball to right field. Run scores. Two down, Miggy up.

Since Miggy almost never delivered in this situation for us, I'll be really irritated if he does for them.

[Ned from York]

Wedge, I'm saying Sarfate should have been in the game earlier that way Johnson could be finishing out the game. I'm not advocating Johnson coming out for a third inning.

[blueberryale77]

Prayers please.

Luckily, there's an emoticon for that.

:pray::pray::pray::pray:

...but unlike My Perfect One :hearts: my faith isn't that strong, so I'm going with...

:new_beer:

[orayole]

Cintron doing his Miggy impression.

[Crazysilver03]

Ugh. Cintron pulls a Miggy.

[weams]

Cintron is not good.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Prayers please.

Im praying!!!!!!!:pray::drek:

[EddieO's21]

cintron...man this is not a great game

[Trace21230]

Cintron....:cussing:

7-5 now with Berkman up. WALK HIM.

[The Wedge]

Damn you Tejada, with the Baltimore Chop...damn you Cintron for choking on it. You could have made a play of it. And I hate Berkman.

[Bleed Orange]

is it just me or did it look like Cintron could have charged that ball and gotten it on one hop?

[Ned from York]

What did Cintron do?

[weams]

Stand Please.

[The Wedge]

Wedge, I'm saying Sarfate should have been in the game earlier that way Johnson could be finishing out the game. I'm not advocating Johnson coming out for a third inning.

Ah, okay, that makes much more sense, though if he sucked late in the game odds are he'd have sucked early, too.

[Why Not?]

Tejada's reaching anyway, maybe better that Cintron didn't unleash a hurried throw.

[Crazysilver03]

2 strikes. Lets get a K.

[Ned from York]

:(Changing my prediction to 'Berkman will win this baby.'

[Crazysilver03]

What did Cintron do?

Tejada hit a Baltimore Chop at Cintron and he dropped it.

[EddieO's21]

thank the mighty lord above...good win

[weams]

We always trust you.

[The Wedge]

What did Cintron do?

Sat back on a chopper and then just bobbled it.

But it doesn't matter, except for a few extra runs in the box score charged to Sarfarte.

[blueberryale77]

Wow. Watching Cintron play shortstop makes me want to cry. It's really unfortunate since he definitely seems able to hit better than any of the other options.

[mrbig1]

I can't watch. tell me what happens.

[orayole]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

O's win!

7-5

[Bleed Orange]

Yesssssss!!!!!

[The Wedge]

I can't watch. tell me what happens.

You can open your eyes, we won.

[Crazysilver03]

Why was Jones in the game? Trembley said he wanted to get him a full day off yet he was out there in the 9th for defense.

[itsernst]

Payton is a buzzkill...he doesn't flat breezy it.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Luckily, there's an emoticon for that.

:pray::pray::pray::pray:

...but unlike My Perfect One :hearts: my faith isn't that strong, so I'm going with...

:new_beer:

Prayer is one thing I have in common with Perfect one!!!!:hearts:
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE MY BELOVED OS!!!!!:2yay-thumb::clap:
SWEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!:clap3:

[Palmer Esque]

Tejada hit a Baltimore Chop at Cintron and he dropped it.

True, but Tejada would have beat it.

Its mute now, the Sherrif sent us home a winner.

[Camden_yardbird]

cintron...man this is not a great game

except the HR and two other hits...

[Trace21230]

George I love you!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
