June 29: O's v. Nats.

[Scrat1]

Let's get another. And let's get some run support for Guts.

[Fist Bump]

I expect a win today! *fistbump*

[ghogan]

Anyone else have no sound on MASN HD on Comcast??

[RShack]

If anybody has any rules questions, let's try to get them out of the way first, OK?
;-)

[Scrat1]

Roberts starting it off the right way.

[Scrat1]

If anybody has any rules questions, let's try to get them out of the way first, OK?
;-)

Agreed.

Same goes for discrepancies over the value of an English degree.

[Fist Bump]

Ugghhhh ... caught stealing

[Palmer Esque]

Anyone else have no sound on MASN HD on Comcast??

I have absolutely no sound whatsoever. Not the first time either.

[cindyluvsbrady]

getting My Perfect One:hearts: out is a NO!:angryfire::no:

[itsernst]

Roberts looked safe...

[Scrat1]

Well I could have done without that.

[itsernst]

getting My Perfect One:hearts: out is a NO!:angryfire::no:

take it easy...just breathe! :D

[cindyluvsbrady]

Roberts looked safe...

HE WAS:angryfire::cussing:!!!

[Scrat1]

I don't think anyone can squeeze as much emotional turmoil out of emoticons as Cindy.

[Palmer Esque]

Nice rope Markakis. It always seems like at some point in the inning after a caught stealing someone gets a hit. That is baseball for you.

[cindyluvsbrady]

take it easy...just breathe! :D

LOL:laughlol:!!!!!!
I will try:eektf:

[itsernst]

If anybody has any rules questions, let's try to get them out of the way first, OK?
;-)

Haha...even though I was intoxicated early yesterday afternoon, 6/28 game thread made no sense ever after I read it this morning.

[Scrat1]

Would be nice to have 1st and 3rd w/ 1 out...

[cindyluvsbrady]

I don't think anyone can squeeze as much emotional turmoil out of emoticons as Cindy.

Is that good or bad?:confused::eektf:

[McNulty]

Looks like the sound on the HD feed came back.

[RShack]

getting My Perfect One:hearts: out is a NO!:angryfire::no:
The Gnatty Senators didn't, the ump did...

[McNulty]

Does anyone else think that we need a pitcher with the nickname of "Glory", so we can have Guts and Glory?

Or is that too lame?

[cindyluvsbrady]

The Gnatty Senators didn't, the ump did...

yup....the BLIND one:angryfire:

[Scrat1]

Is that good or bad?:confused::eektf:

It's entertaining, that's for sure.

[porterhouse]

Uh not such a good start.

[Scrat1]

Does anyone else think that we need a pitcher with the nickname of "Glory", so we can have Guts and Glory?

Or is that too lame?

I think step one would be finding another starting pitcher worthy of the title.

[Palmer Esque]

Ruh roh Guts.

[cindyluvsbrady]

It's entertaining, that's for sure.

k............I think.....:eektf::scratchchinhmm:

[Scrat1]

I think he's just playing around. Doing a little Sherrill homage.

[Palmer Esque]

This ump is giving nothing on the inside. Making him tee it up.

Man Dukes almost killed Cintron..........wow he was no where near the bag....

[zff4]

Nats scoring first is getting my goat.

[McNulty]

Typically Guthrie first inning there.

[catjuggler]

Nats scoring first is getting my goat.

You have a goat?

[cindyluvsbrady]

I love Jeremey!:)

[Pushmonkey]

This ump is giving nothing on the inside. Making him tee it up.

Man Dukes almost killed Cintron..........wow he was no where near the bag....

I hope his arm is ok.

[itsernst]

Does anyone else think that we need a pitcher with the nickname of "Glory", so we can have Guts and Glory?

Or is that too lame?

That is...uhhh...err...super! :D

[catjuggler]

all things considered not bad

[porterhouse]

Well hopefully just an aberration.

Glad they just got 1.

[Scrat1]

Strangely, Guthrie only threw 12 pitches there compared to Bergmann's 16.

[itsernst]

I hope his arm is ok.

Ha...it was a close slide, but there was no way in world cintron would ever get that ball there.

[porterhouse]

Kevin Millahhh!

[Palmer Esque]

Ha...it was a close slide, but there was no way in world cintron would ever get that ball there.

Yeah he was not turning the double play, but Dukes make no attempt to get to the bag. He was a good 2 or 3 feet off the bag and heading for Cintron. But it would not have mattered anyway.

[zff4]

You have a goat?
A goat and a bee in my bonnet

[Bleed Orange]

wow Pacman looked bad on those two breaking balls.

[mrbig1]

Sorry I'm late. Wife and I just got back form shopping.

[Scrat1]

Sorry I'm late. Wife and I just got back form shopping.

It's okay as long as you were buying Orioles gear. Or Corn Dogs. Because they're delicious.

[cindyluvsbrady]

A goat and a bee in my bonnet

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

[cindyluvsbrady]

It's okay as long as you were buying Orioles gear. Or Corn Dogs. Because they're delicious.

NO!:no:
Only Orioles stuff is ok!;):D

[RShack]

wow Pacman looked bad on those two breaking balls.
I don't know who you're talking about. We have no players called Pacman. That's the name of a hoodlum from another sport.

[itsernst]

Sorry I'm late. Wife and I just got back form shopping.

Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot, not enough time!

[cindyluvsbrady]

I don't know who you're talking about. We have no players called Pacman. That's the name of a hoodlum from another sport.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:laughlol:
Im dying!!!!!!!!!1

[Palmer Esque]

I tell you what, Aubrey Huff is a good third baseman, and not too shabby at first. I have been nothing but impressed with him this year. And he is doing it while DHing most of the time, which is not an easy thing to do.

[itsernst]

I don't know who you're talking about. We have no players called Pacman. That's the name of a hoodlum from another sport.

I agree...no reason to taint Jones' future by giving him identity crisis.

[Scrat1]

I tell you what, Aubrey Huff is a good third baseman, and not too shabby at first. I have been nothing but impressed with him this year. And he is doing it while DHing most of the time, which is not an easy thing to do.

Maybe the problem with last year was effort? I have been nothing but impressed with Huff this year.

[Bleed Orange]

yeah but he's no longer Pacman. I just can't say Adam Jones without thinking "Pacman" Jones.

[Scrat1]

So what's going on here? Is Guthrie just doing Sherrill impressions?

[catjuggler]

I don't know who you're talking about. We have no players called Pacman. That's the name of a hoodlum from another sport.

How about Adam "Hack Man" Jones?

[mrbig1]

It's okay as long as you were buying Orioles gear. Or Corn Dogs. Because they're delicious.

You must have ESP. I did buy an Oriole coffee cup.

[Scrat1]

You must have ESP. I did buy an Oriole coffee cup.

Aha! Rep to you.

Although I hope you're stirring that coffee with a corn dog...

[catjuggler]

Aha! Rep to you.

Although I hope you're stirring that coffee with a corn dog...

I love coffee and I love corn dogs but...EWWW

[RShack]

How about Adam "Hack Man" Jones?
What's wrong with AJ?
It's short and it rhymes.
I figure if it's good enough for one of the world's all-time great racing drivers, it's probably good enough for a kid-CF'er.

Plus, then people could yell "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa" after a hit, like they do with "Luuuuuuuuuuuuke"

[Bleed Orange]

Huff looking good in the field so far! Keep Mora on the pine please.

[RShack]

I tell you what, Aubrey Huff is a good third baseman, and not too shabby at first. I have been nothing but impressed with him this year. And he is doing it while DHing most of the time, which is not an easy thing to do.
He did it again.
He's always been a pleasant surprise to me at 3B.
I think he's better there than at 1B, which is kinda odd. (Not dissing Melvin...)

[notfast]

from the onion:


adam "dig dug" jones

[Pushmonkey]

Will today be win number 24 after trailing?

[mrbig1]

Take him downtown Huff daddy.

[RShack]

It's bad enough to listen to Buck's voice during the game, having to see him do bad commercials just makes it worse...

Although, yesterday he did say something surprisingly right about what happened with LH, so it's not that he's wrong all the time, just half the time...

But that voice, ugh... plus, I think he's way too involved with his own hair...

[Bleed Orange]

gosh, Millar has looked really bad at the plate for the last couple weeks.

[Scrat1]

But that voice, ugh... plus, I think he's way too involved with his own hair...

His hair is completely insane. It looks like it is built for speed. It's aerodynamic. NASA should study his hair. We're going to fly to mars on little Buck hair-ships.

[Fist Bump]

Yes! Way to go Luke!

*fistbump*

[zff4]

It's bad enough to listen to Buck's voice during the game, having to see him do bad commercials just makes it worse...

Buck's "heh heh heh" after an atrocious, absurd humorous comment makes God's Green Earth a hellish place for me

[mrbig1]

Jones was safe.

[RShack]

Buck's "heh heh heh" after an atrocious, absurd humorous comment makes God's Green Earth a hellish place for me
AFAIK, Buck never met a pause he could stand. Whenever the PBP guy pauses for a sec, he feels compelled to say something to show off, even if it's just completely wrong stuff that he just makes up based on nothing.

Now today, with 2 color guys, it seems like he's not jumping in quite so fast, which I assume is about him wanting to let Sutton have a chance. (Whenever I hear a Gnats game, it sounds like a Braves game ;-)

[itsernst]

Jones was safe.

he pulled a millar and got the call.

[RShack]

We'd be doing better if not for their 3B guy...

[Palmer Esque]

Heck yeah Guthrie. I love it.

[itsernst]

Dbl for Guts!!!

[RShack]

We get P-hits 2 days in a row... a single...then a double... so you know what the next guy has to do... (in addition to not getting picked off, I mean...)

[itsernst]

ump almost blew the call.

[mrbig1]

Come on, We can't lose on sunday again.

[RShack]

Guts not only goofed up getting picked off.. he also blew his chance to use his manly double as a reason to give Olson crap about his lame, weak-ass bunt single....

[mrbig1]

The ball girl made the best play all day.

[WEAVERMAN]

Let's get some runs, we have to beat these guys and kill the Sunday jinx.

[fansince71]

Man this is getting old:cussing: Losing on Sundays and not scoring jack for Guts:angryfire:

[Scrat1]

It's not even the 7th inning and we're down by one run. A little early to start freaking out. We aren't SOSH.

[RShack]

So, is Millar wearing long pants in all road games and short pants at all home games? Or is it not that simple?

[RShack]

The 3 announcers have color-coordinated hair...

[mrbig1]

Come on Luke.

[BRob51]

Called strike 1 on Millar was on the batter's box line according to gameday :mad:

[jamessemaj]

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke!!

[Scrat1]

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke

[RShack]

All it took was the P making 1 mistake... to Luke...

Why anybody would throw a low FB to him is beyond me...

[mrbig1]

Good bye Luke.

[WEAVERMAN]

Alright Luke, let's get some more.

[notfast]

gotta love the HR catch by the O's fan!

[fansince71]

thats what im talkin about:clap3:

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Jeremy, retire the side in order, and we'll get you the runs to get the win in the top of the 8th.

[WEAVERMAN]

3-2, do not lose this batter.

[WEAVERMAN]

The dreaded lead off walk. That's just wrong.

[WEAVERMAN]

Nice DP there by Kevin. Go sit down, Harris

[weams]

Wooo Hoooo Millar.

[mrbig1]

Double play.

[WEAVERMAN]

JJ will pitch the bottom of the 8th.

[WEAVERMAN]

Nice work, Jeremy, now let's get some runs off the new Washington pitcher.

[Scrat1]

I think Payton should sub for Jones and they should leave Scott in. Thoughts?

[WEAVERMAN]

Take a BB, Payton, get it going.

[WEAVERMAN]

Washington has 50 losses, but they play like they have 50 wins against us.

[WEAVERMAN]

Take a BB, Brian, please.

[WEAVERMAN]

3-1 on Roberts is hitting away? Give me a break.

[Palmer Esque]

3-1 on Roberts is hitting away? Give me a break.

You can get on base by getting a hit as well.

[FarmSystem]

The Crowley approach was alive and well that inning.

[weams]

We sure do stink on Sundays. I guess it does not matter who pitches.

[Scrat1]

I think it's pretty clear that Cintron should not be in the two hole.

[Scrat1]

We sure do stink on Sundays. I guess it does not matter who pitches.

Maybe it's a combination of both. A perfect storm of Guthrie pitching and it being Sunday.

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon JJ, throw strikes.

[WEAVERMAN]

Let's get the DP ball, JJ

[WEAVERMAN]

Nice play, Kevin, that play takes guts.

[casadeozo]

I'd like to add that at bat by Payton should be enough to give him his walking papers. He swung at ball 4 which was at eye level. Pathetic

[mrbig1]

Good play.

[WEAVERMAN]

Get the DP ball, JJ

[weams]

If we win it is on Millar today. A great day in the field.

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon JJ, get the DP ball or the K.

[mrbig1]

Do you guy's believe this?

[VeveJones007]

I'd like to add that at bat by Payton should be enough to give him his walking papers. He swung at ball 4 which was at eye level. Pathetic

Based on today's performances, most of the team would be on waivers with that philosophy.

[randommetalguy]

Do you guy's believe this?

yes, it's Sunday.

[WEAVERMAN]

He's in the hole, JJ, do not lose him.

[WEAVERMAN]

Don't give in, JJ

[weams]

Johnson is very special.

[WEAVERMAN]

That's beautiful, let's get some runs.

[Palmer Esque]

Nice DP there. Is it just me or was JJ throwing a lot of curves that inning? I cannot argue with the result, but man he has a nasty fastball.

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Nicky, please get us going.

[mrbig1]

Ok, This is it. Lucky O's cap vs the jinx.

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Huff, get us going with 1 out.

[BRob51]

wouldn't it be fitting/awesome if Millar went yard right here?

[Scrat1]

It would, but he didn't.

[Scrat1]

Leave Johnson in?

[WEAVERMAN]

Go with JJ one more inning, DT. Let's wait these guys out.

[WEAVERMAN]

Good move to go with JJ in the ninth. Let's win it in extras.

[mrbig1]

No way Sherrill is getting a 1-2-3 inning.

[L.D.Blair]

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke!!


Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke

This is a little confusing. I wish somebody would settle this thing about how many u's there are in Luke.

[WEAVERMAN]

Breaking the Sunday streak is tough, but we can do it.

[Pushmonkey]

This is a little confusing. I wish somebody would settle this thing about how many u's there are in Luke.

Maybe some people smoke and can't say it as long?

[WEAVERMAN]

two down, keep it going, JJ

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon JJ, let's retire Harris, he's hitting .190.

[WEAVERMAN]

Nice recovery against that bum Harris.

[WEAVERMAN]

Jeez, it's time to get some runs. Let's go men.

[Pushmonkey]

hey is extra innings..weee.

[L.D.Blair]

Jeez, it's time to get some runs. Let's go men.

And Cintron.

[BRob51]

And Cintron.

hahaha ooouch

[mrbig1]

Let's go Luke.

[L.D.Blair]

Let's go Luke.

Get some u's in there when you say that, Big.

[WEAVERMAN]

Walker and Bradford are warming up. I don't trust Walker and I'm not thrilled with Bradford, let's get some runs.

[Scrat1]

oof.

(letters)

[WEAVERMAN]

Wow, we left the offense in MD or in the hotel, or somewhere. Washington pitching like they're contenders.

[WEAVERMAN]

One down, c'mon Bradford

[WEAVERMAN]

Two down, c'mon Bradford.

[WEAVERMAN]

As soon as you compliment his D, he makes an E.

[RShack]

If we win it is on Millar today. A great day in the field.
Ooops .

[WEAVERMAN]

We have two down, c'mon Bradford, relax, throw strikes, let's get back to the dugout and get another shot at it.

[WEAVERMAN]

Great play, Q

[Scrat1]

I love you Quiroz. Now just give us a hit.

[RShack]

Evidently, our backup C's last name gives us a new spelling for "Heroes!"

[mrbig1]

Why does this happen every Sunday?

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Mora, show us something.

[Pushmonkey]

C'mon Mora, show us something.

show us some veteranosity.

[WEAVERMAN]

Mora, suddenly, looks like a very old 36. He's had bad trip offensively. Maybe he'll pick it up against KC.

[L.D.Blair]

Mora, suddenly, looks like a very old 36. He's had bad trip offensively. Maybe he'll pick it up against KC.

Quintuplets tend to do that to you.

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Brian, we have to score. We used JJ, Bradford, so we're getting down to the junk like Sarfate, c'mon Brian.

[Palmer Esque]

C'mon Brian, we have to score. We used JJ, Bradford, so we're getting down to the junk like Sarfate, c'mon Brian.

Junk??? Come on, thats not fair.

[WEAVERMAN]

We've made all the Nationals relievers look like Rolaids Firemen of the year.

[Ozone]

Give us the lead Nick!

[Scrat1]

It's okay. Cintron's up.

[WEAVERMAN]

Junk??? Come on, thats not fair.

Sarfate has to throw more strikes, imo.

[L.D.Blair]

Give us the lead Nick!

Nick? What game are you watching?

[JimDH]

Give us the lead Nick!

Hold that thought!

[Ozone]

Nick? What game are you watching?

I'm 10 minutes ahead of you. I'm watching the 12th inning.

[weams]

Sarfate 2.86 era.

[Palmer Esque]

Sarfate has to throw more strikes, imo.

Yeah but he is far from junk.

[L.D.Blair]

It's okay. Cintron's up.

This little two hole experiment ain't working. Trembley needs to drop this guy a few slots. Maybe bat him about 12 or so.

[Palmer Esque]

Sit em down Sarfate....looking good so far.

[L.D.Blair]

I'm 10 minutes ahead of you. I'm watching the 12th inning.

My bad. I see you're from Tennessee. Different time zone, I guess.

[Pushmonkey]

Safarte is looking good so far.

[WEAVERMAN]

Two down, c'mon Sarfate.

[LookitsPuck]

Aaron Boone looks like Johnny Knoxville.

[weams]

I am glad we have him.

[Scrat1]

Boston just blew a bases loaded opportunity against Houston. Pedroia stuck out on three straight fastballs. Houston still up by 1.

[WEAVERMAN]

COncentrate on the plate Sarfate and throw strikes.

[Pushmonkey]

how about a dozen.

[WEAVERMAN]

Nice job, Sarfate, now let's win it.

[weams]

Great four out inning by SARFATE.

[Scrat1]

Nice job by Sarfate.

[weams]

We score here then it's Flat Breezy Time.

[RShack]

I'm 10 minutes ahead of you. I'm watching the 12th inning.
So, how did it turn out?

[Scrat1]

So, how did it turn out?

Pretty good. :D

[L.D.Blair]

Longest stint of the year for Ayala.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/gamelog?playerId=5389

[Ozone]

So, how did it turn out?

Sherrill gets the save.

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Huff, keep it going.

[Palmer Esque]

Great start to this inning, we need this game bad.

[Scrat1]

Shibby! Way to go Huff

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Kevin, we really need to score NOW.

[LookitsPuck]

Come on Millar, don't hit into a double play. Be patient. Don't pull a Mora.

[weams]

Well Nick did get on. And then H. Diddy as well. I am a believer.

[weams]

Manny being Pro Acta again.

[Palmer Esque]

Hit it on the screws.

[L.D.Blair]

All right. Sheep ranch is up.

[LookitsPuck]

I have faith in Scott.

[fansince71]

I guess you cant ask a player to do something he cant but WTF you need to be bunting right there

[RShack]

I guess you cant ask a player to do something he cant but WTF you need to be bunting right there
And give up your last spare out? No way...

[Palmer Esque]

Bad bad AB from Scott. Lets pick him up here.

[olehippi]

I guess you cant ask a player to do something he cant but WTF you need to be bunting right there

yep....Trembley made the same mistake in the same situation on Friday night....and we lost

[fansince71]

And give up your last spare out? No way...

Spare out? what sort of baseball term is that:confused:

[Pushmonkey]

The battle of the beltways has turned to the battle of the bullpens.

[weams]

Adam Jones. It is down to Adam Jones.

[Scrat1]

Here we go Jones.

[WEAVERMAN]

We'll take any kind H, Adam, c'mon now.

[mrbig1]

Jones please!!!!

[catjuggler]

come on dig dug

[RShack]

Spare out? what sort of baseball term is that:confused:
There's 3 outs in an inning, but when you use the last one, you're done.
So you really only have 2 outs to spend.
We had 1 out already, so bunting would have given away the last spare one.

[Palmer Esque]

Nice hit by Jones. Great AB, he hit a great pitch.

[jamessemaj]

Jonesy!!!!!

[olehippi]

Adam!!!! :clap3:

[mrbig1]

Nick is safe!!!!

[Pushmonkey]

Jones has been such a disappointment:rofl:

[Palmer Esque]

There's 3 outs in an inning, but when you use the last one, you're done.
So you really only have 2 outs to spend.
We had 1 out already, so bunting would have given away the last spare one.


When Millar came up there was zero outs.

[MurphDogg]

Adam Jones for the win and the block!

[Scrat1]

DIG DUG!!!

For whatever reason I really like that nickname.

[L.D.Blair]

Nice hitting by "Don't call me Pacman" Jones.

[Crazysilver03]

Flat Breezy Time!

[fansince71]

FINALLY!:clap3:

[weams]

As I said. We go ahead. Now it is Flat Breezy Time. Thank you Mr. Jones.

[WEAVERMAN]

Alright Adam, nice work, c'mon GS, relax, throw strikes, no drama.

[Ozone]

Nick scores to give us the lead. ;)

[RShack]

When Millar came up there was zero outs.
Time-lag confusion about when the post appeared...

But I still think we're better off if we think about innings as having only 2 outs, because the 3rd one doesn't do you any good, it just means the inning's over.

[Scrat1]

Not a bad effort by Quiroz. But, Dig Dug got it done, so it doesn't matter. Assuming Sherrill is on his game, that is.

[fansince71]

When Millar came up there was zero outs.

Thank you.

[LookitsPuck]

+1 for Jones. Great job!

I'd have had Millar bunt, for sure.

Let's go, Georgie ole buddy ole pal ole buddy.

[Palmer Esque]

Time-lag confusion about when the post appeared...

But I still think we're better off if we think about innings as having only 2 outs, because the 3rd one doesn't do you any good, it just means the inning's over.

ha I got you. Come on Sheriff.

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon George, we need the series, we need to win on Sunday, we need big MO to get after a hot KC club tomorrow night, c'mon George.

[olehippi]

There's 3 outs in an inning, but when you use the last one, you're done.
So you really only have 2 outs to spend.
We had 1 out already, so bunting would have given away the last spare one.

He's saying Millar should have bunted...we had runners on 1st and 2nd with no one out. They would have walked Scott to load the bases. We then had 2 batters to hit a sac fly, or get a hit with a drawn up infield.

Jones got the hit so maybe all will turn out well regardless.

[WEAVERMAN]

Orr is in the hole, don't lose him.

[RShack]

c'mon GS, relax, throw strikes, no drama.
Nah, when he relaxes it's not good... this is a guy who you want to be tense. Really. Let's hope he doesn't need baserunners to get tense...

[WEAVERMAN]

One down, c'mon George

[WEAVERMAN]

Young will bat this inning and he kills us, don't let it happen, GS.

[LookitsPuck]

Keep at 'em, bud. Bottom of the lineup.

[Fist Bump]

2 down! Let's end this Sunday streak!

[Palmer Esque]

Sherril is sporting some nice facial hair growth.

Two down, one more to go....and a fantasy save for moolah

[WEAVERMAN]

Two down, GS, one more out. Throw strikes GS.

[weams]

Well...It comes down to this. Georgie V the Five Hundred pound man.

[WEAVERMAN]

Will he just BB, Young?

[L.D.Blair]

Two down, GS, one more out. Throw strikes GS.

Wait. They've already had their two. What's this three out crap?
