[Mackus]

Brob doubles and steals 3rd to start the game. Welcome back to the bigs Buchholz!

[Mackus]

SF for Apple Jacks, 1-0 O's.

That was quick.

[The Rick]

Yes, it was. Jonesy has a pretty sweet swing. I love watching him bat.

[Mackus]

Markakis works the walk.

[mrbig1]

Lucky O's cap has been sent to the minors.

[Mackus]

Huff walks as well.

Buchholz already at 19 pitches, only 7 strikes. Only out so far the Jones SF.

[mrbig1]

Come on Mora, we need a hit.

[The Wedge]

What the hell Melvin! Yet another dumb play by a guy fancying himself a smart player.

[El Gordo]

Good Melven!:clap3: Bad Melvin:angryfire:

[Mackus]

Single and Mora's out trying to advance to 2nd.

What exactly happened for those following on Gameday?

Throw went to the plate, Huff and Mora try to advance, throw gets cutoff and they nail Mora at 2nd?

[mrbig1]

Good eye Millar.

[Mackus]

Walk for Millar, Buccholz has no control.

Should be loaded w/ 1 out instead 2 outs and runners on corners for Luuuuuuuke. Seems like a good time for him to get hot again.

[mrbig1]

This Boston pitcher can't throw a strike.

[mrbig1]

Well, is this the 11th annual nose dive or can we turn it around.

[El Gordo]

Would've had 3 runs in and still be up if not for numbskull.!

[Mackus]

Lets hope Burres can have a decent start. I'd take 6 IP and 3 runs happily.

[El Gordo]

Burres ......and let the mayhem begin.:eek:

[The Wedge]

Single and Mora's out trying to advance to 2nd.

What exactly happened for those following on Gameday?

Throw went to the plate, Huff and Mora try to advance, throw gets cutoff and they nail Mora at 2nd?

Wasn't even cut off really. They threw straight to second and for some reason Mora thought it'd be a good idea to try for a double on a line shot off the Monster.

[El Gordo]

Well now he knows what's not a strike.:rolleyestf:

[The Wedge]

Wasn't even cut off really. They threw straight to second and for some reason Mora thought it'd be a good idea to try for a double on a line shot off the Monster.

To expand on that, Hunter and Palmer think that Mora was assuming that Manny would throw to third, and he didn't.

[The Wedge]

Note to Dustin Pedroia: It doesn't make you look older...it doesn't make you look cool. You have money, buy a razor, because it makes you look like a douche...especially since one side grows thicker than the other.

[mrbig1]

I have a bad feeling with Manny coming up.

[El Gordo]

Wasn't even cut off really. They threw straight to second and for some reason Mora thought it'd be a good idea to try for a double on a line shot off the Monster.Not exactly. They threw to the SS who was closer to 3B and he threw immediately to 2B. Looked to me like they were juking Mora to try for 2B. That's why Manny was smiling after the play IMO.

[The Wedge]

I have a bad feeling with Manny coming up.

Are you kidding? I have a bad feeling with most of their line up.

[The Wedge]

Not exactly. They threw to the SS who was closer to 3B and he threw immediately to 2B. Looked to me like they were juking Mora to try for 2B. That's why Manny was smiling after the play IMO.

Oh right. Brain fart.

However, Manny smiles after every play. I think he was grinning like an idiot after that David Newhan inside the parker a few years back that was ENTIRELY his fault for inexplicably cutting the ball off.

[Mackus]

Not a bad inning from Burres, although I'd like to see more strikes.

Lets get some more off of Buchholz.

[mrbig1]

[QUOTE=The Wedge;1398864]Are you kidding? I have a bad feeling with most of their line up.[/QUOT True.

[Keith SIO]

cmon ramon, keep this pitcher feeling bad...(even though I have no faith in you)

[Keith SIO]

Even though fahey just grounded out, I'm rooting hard for him to go deep to right and hook one around that foul pole.

[The Wedge]

Pedroia gets that if his ridiculous beard doesn't screw up his aerodynamics.

[The Wedge]

And think, Varitek is an All-Star.

[scOtt]

This Red Sox team... are they like a good team?

Cuz they don look so good...

[The Wedge]

Oh, where's the replay on that one...I think Jones beat it.

[Keith SIO]

I really like this lineup, all they need to do is scratch Hernandez and I would really love it.

Although jones does frequently help us out down in that 8 hole

[scOtt]

And think, Varitek is an All-Star.
Good god! I have Tek as a backup in fantasy... his "numbers" are pathetic! How does he have a MFL job? :confused:

[Mackus]

47 pitches through two for Buchholz. Just hold 'em down Burres, we're gonna get some runs tonight.

[The Wedge]

Good god! I have Tek as a backup in fantasy... his "numbers" are pathetic! How does he have a MFL job? :confused:

Because he's the Captain. Ride Captain Ride on your mystery ship...

[El Gordo]

This Red Sox team... are they like a good team?

Cuz they don look so good...I wish you hadn't said that.:drek:

[The Wedge]

And think, Varitek is an All-Star.

[sfosfan]

Sean Casey batting 6th- that's just sick. :cussing:

SFOSFAN

[caljr]

Does anyone have any idea as to why the game is blacked out on MLB.TV? I don't ever remember this happening on a day other than Saturday afternoon.

[MurphDogg]

Does anyone have any idea as to why the game is blacked out on MLB.TV? I don't ever remember this happening on a day other than Saturday afternoon.

You are in Virginia, Orioles territory... All games will be blacked out on mlb.tv...

[caljr]

Actually, I need to update that... I am actually in Mississippi. I frequently watch on MLB.TV and don't have any problems.

[The Wedge]

Good. That makes up for Jones being safe. We totally got that call. Too bad a run still scored.

[Keith SIO]

That must be upsetting for sox fans.

[MurphDogg]

What a terrible call at first...

[MurphDogg]

That's maybe the worst call I have seen...

[MurphDogg]

Actually, I need to update that... I am actually in Mississippi. I frequently watch on MLB.TV and don't have any problems.

Hmm, I am watching it on mlb.tv so I don't know what to tell you then... Are other games available?

[The Wedge]

That's maybe the worst call I have seen...

In your life? The Knoblauch phantom tag and the Maier incident are still my top two for "completely obvious blown calls."

[J.D.]

That's maybe the worst call I have seen...

I don't think it was the WORST call I've ever seen... but that was a bad, bad call. Maybe we're getting the blown call yesterday made up to us? ;)

[The Wedge]

Argh! It's the attack of the unsynched HD audio! Again!

[caljr]

Hmm, I am watching it on mlb.tv so I don't know what to tell you then... Are other games available?

Yeah, I can get the other games. The Os game seems to be the only one that I can't get.

[The Wedge]

Yeah, I can get the other games. The Os game seems to be the only one that I can't get.

Well, Mississippi is totally in Red Sox territory.

[MurphDogg]

In your life? The Knoblauch phantom tag and the Maier incident are still my top two for "completely obvious blown calls."

I dunno, the umpire was a lot closer to this one than any of those...

[The Wedge]

Damn, Buchholz has settled in.

[caljr]

Well, Mississippi is totally in Red Sox territory.

LOL. There are actually quite a few Red Sox fans down here... it is pretty disgusting.

[The Wedge]

LOL. There are actually quite a few Red Sox fans down here... it is pretty disgusting.

They're everywhere...it's like a virus.

[Keith SIO]

Well the pitcher certainly found his groove.

[The Wedge]

Hey, MASN HD audio tech...the crowd noise is TOO LOUD.

Also, Dustin Pedroia...you look like a shoe bomber.

[mrbig1]

Well the pitcher certainly found his groove.

I know. With this Boston line up we're going to have to score 7 or 8 runs.

[The Wedge]

The wife about Youklis:

"It's funny to see such a masculine looking guy wiggle his butt like that."

[MurphDogg]

Oh, quite the promotion going on at Redsox.com, 100 lucky Red Sox fans will have the opportunity to purchase Red Sox- Yankees tickets... How generous...

[The Wedge]

I think Burres is a little scared of Manny. Which says to me that Brian Burress is a sane person.

[J.D.]

I think Burres is a little scared of Manny. Which says to me that Brian Burress is a sane person.

HE GOT NO... *flips through translation dictionary* MAHBLES!!!

[The Wedge]

Everytime MASN shows the "color commentary" commercial it looks to me like Dempsey is gonna punch the guy in the face when he's "showing off' his ring.

Side note, I like the radio version better which ends with the guy not knowing how to counter Dempsey and Palmer posturing and saying "I had pink eye that day" and Palmer selling it with "did you get over it?"

[The Wedge]

That was in no way a "deep" fly Hunter. In any other park but Fenway it's shallow. In Fenway because of the Monster, it's a mid ranger fly. Damn your depth perception.

[mrbig1]

The wife about Youklis:

"It's funny to see such a masculine looking guy wiggle his butt like that."

My wife thinks Varitek is all that and a bag of chips.

[The Wedge]

My wife thinks Varitek is all that and a bag of chips.

Did she help make him an All-Star?

[The Wedge]

Way to run, no-runny.

[Keith SIO]

Ramon shoulda been paying attention, coulda had a free baserunner.

[mrbig1]

the way this guy is pitching, we're going to be in big trouble.

[The Wedge]

Ramon shoulda been paying attention, coulda had a free baserunner.

He was paying attention, he took off as soon as he saw it was a PB. He's just, you know...not fast.

[RShack]

Ramon shoulda been paying attention, coulda had a free baserunner.
He was paying attention, he looked back right away, he's just slow...

[RShack]

He was paying attention, he took off as soon as he saw it was a PB. He's just, you know...not fast.


He was paying attention, he looked back right away, he's just slow...
Just call me Mr. Echo...

[The Wedge]

Maybe it seemed like he didn't pay attention because he ran in place for a second.

I mean, if he ran any slower, he'd be going in reverse.

[mrbig1]

Did she help make him an All-Star?

No she didn't vote.

[The Wedge]

That's twice there's been fan interference. Not that it matters, both times it was a double anyway.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Hi All:)
cindydoessntluvredsux:angryfire::cussing:

[The Wedge]

Burress gets a strikeout? I didn't think he knew they existed.

[Keith SIO]

Dear O's bring out your bats NOW, or suffer 6 in a row.

[cindyluvsbrady]

GO Os!!!:)
I want to go to Fenway!
I would hold up a sign for Manny:cussing:
Elderly abuse is illegal....:angryfire:

[mrbig1]

Let's go Brian. go for 3 for 3.

[The Wedge]

Roberts has a cycle opportunity in the works now.

[Keith SIO]

Great back to back hits.

[J.D.]

Thank God for the bobble there! Roberts with the triple, and we have ourselves a tied ballgame!
*fistbump*

[The Rick]

Wow, how huge has Roberts been tonight?

Perhaps he has a chip on his shoulder with 7 Red Sox players going to the AS game, and Longoria getting the final vote?

[cindyluvsbrady]

I LOVE MY PERFECT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!:hearts::hearts::2yay-thumb::clap::notworthy::wedge:

[mrbig1]

Yeah.:clap3:

[MurphDogg]

Man, Brian Roberts is a solid, solid, baseball player

[The Rick]

Man, Brian Roberts is a solid, solid, baseball player

Some might even say an all-star!

[cindyluvsbrady]

Man, Brian Roberts is a solid, solid, baseball player

He is WONDERFUL!!!!!!:hearts:

[MurphDogg]

C'mon Brian, gotta score on that one... Shortstop was playing back...

[The Wedge]

Stop encouraging Cindy, you guys. She's gonna crash the server.

[mrbig1]

Let's go downtown Nick.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Stop encouraging Cindy, you guys. She's gonna crash the server.

Why would I do that?:confused:

[MurphDogg]

Why would I do that?:confused:

The emoticons take up more server space than text...

[The Wedge]

Why would I do that?:confused:

Not on purpose. Just a bad joke you didn't get is all.

[Keith SIO]

Maybe he finally lost his breaker for good?

[The Rick]

Not on purpose. Just a bad joke you didn't get is all.

I laughed.

It's all in good fun Cindy, you know we love ya. ;)

[cindyluvsbrady]

Thank You NICK M:002_sdrool::002_ssmile:

[scOtt]

Pitcharound for Nick. Respect.

[Keith SIO]

huff needs to pull the trigger on those.

[cindyluvsbrady]

I laughed.

It's all in good fun Cindy, you know we love ya. ;)

I was not upset..I just did not understand;)

[mrbig1]

Stay out of the DP Huff daddy.

[The Wedge]

At least it scored a run.

[MurphDogg]

That 0-1 pitch wasn't even close... OTOH it is tough to judge the curve...

[cindyluvsbrady]

Way to go My Perfect One!!!!:hearts::2yay-thumb::clap:

[mrbig1]

4 to 3.:clap3:

[The Rick]

Is anyone else watching in HD?

It seems really hard to hear the broadcast team on the HD feed, anyone else getting that?

Not that I mind, it's Jim Hunter. It's nice having Palmer back tonight though.

Anyone know if Angel is back on the radio tonight?

[scOtt]

Sad there. Huff RIPPED that ball... just the wrong place in Fenway.

RBI tho. :)

[randommetalguy]

58 rbi for Huff now. If he stays hot through August he has a shot at 100. He needs to get his trade value up so that we can deal him for about 2-3 good pitching prospects.

[scOtt]

Nick tries to steal here? I think maybe...

[blueberryale77]

Wow, how huge has Roberts been tonight?

Perhaps he has a chip on his shoulder with 7 Red Sox players going to the AS game, and Longoria getting the final vote?

Well, he is the bigger second baseman in tonight's game. Even that can't be said that often. :p

[cindyluvsbrady]

58 rbi for Huff now. If he stays hot through August he has a shot at 100. He needs to get his trade value up so that we can deal him for about 2-3 good pitching prospects.

That would be an ok trade with me!:):mwahaha:

I commented a few pages back about it...it's not that the broadcast team is too low, it's that the crowd noise is too loud.

[scOtt]

Nick tries to steal here? I think maybe...
Bucholz too...

:D

[The Wedge]

Well, he is the bigger second baseman in tonight's game. Even that can't be said that often. :p

Maybe Pedroia has that ridiculous hair growth so he can outweigh Brian.

[scOtt]

pitch out.....

[cindyluvsbrady]

Well, he is the bigger second baseman in tonight's game. Even that can't be said that often. :p

Hi Bluberry:)
We need a pitchfork for Manny!:mwahaha:

[The Wedge]

I really don't wanna hear either Hunter or Palmer say the word Doink, I really don't want to hear both of them repeat it back and forth.

[The Rick]

I commented a few pages back about it...it's not that the broadcast team is too low, it's that the crowd noise is too loud.

Ah, 'tis a fair point.

My bad, I haven't been following the game thread all evening as I have been busy beating GTA 4 on my PS3... utilizing my two TV setup to watch the game simultaneously. :D

[scOtt]

He's lost with that curve.

[catjuggler]

100 pitches should see the pen soon.

[The Wedge]

The guys around with the things in the ears...

Apparantely Jim Hunter doesn't know what the Secret Service is.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Thank You My Melvin!!!:):clap3:

[Keith SIO]

Tonight and for this whole series I just want to see no action from either closer.

[mrbig1]

100 pitches should see the pen soon.

You beat me to it.

[The Wedge]

There's been more golf references this inning than pitches.

[mrbig1]

Come on Millar.

[blueberryale77]

Maybe Pedroia has that ridiculous hair growth so he can outweigh Brian.

I wish I could see. I'm at my parents' house with no cable (and no mlb.tv for the O's since I'm in Baltimore) so I've been listening on the radio. I've never seen Pedroia's facial hair. Is it like Youkilis'? Anyway I don't think he's growing it to outweigh Brian, more like because he's going bald on top of his head at 23 so he feels the need to grow hair wherever he can. :p

[cindyluvsbrady]

Where is Jtrea?
He might miss Kevin;)

[Keith SIO]

Millar Take That Deep!!!

[The Wedge]

I wish I could see. I'm at my parents' house with no cable (and no mlb.tv for the O's since I'm in Baltimore) so I've been listening on the radio. I've never seen Pedroia's facial hair. Is it like Youkilis'? Anyway I don't think he's growing it to outweigh Brian, more like because he's going bald on top of his head at 23 so he feels the need to grow hair wherever he can. :p

No, it looks like he lost his razor period. It's like a week or so growth, and one side is clearly growing faster than the other.

[itsernst]

Where is Jtrea?
He might miss Kevin;)

It is nice and quiet right now without him :D Lets just enough the silence!

[cindyluvsbrady]

I wish I could see. I'm at my parents' house with no cable (and no mlb.tv for the O's since I'm in Baltimore) so I've been listening on the radio. I've never seen Pedroia's facial hair.

Will you be at the Hangout Game?

[The Wedge]

That could be a good nickname for Adam Jones, from Hunter of all people: The Drummer.

[itsernst]

Chicks making out behind the reporter for the Sox on MLB.tv


Not too shabby :D

[cindyluvsbrady]

Manny makes me sick:angryfire::puke:

[The Wedge]

Hey B-Ri...make it a little less obvious that you're pitching around Manny.

[blueberryale77]

Will you be at the Hangout Game?

There's actually a slight chance I might be but I'm not sure yet. I have to go back to NJ before then, but I have a job interview in Asheville on the 21st so I might stop in Baltimore on the way and my sister has been bugging me to come down and go to a game with her. Not sure which night that will be though.

[The Wedge]

Hey B-Ri...make it a little less obvious that you're pitching around Manny.

That's not what I meant...why does always Burres always misunderstand me?

[randommetalguy]

Who's uglier...Youkolis...or Milwuakee's Hart?

[cindyluvsbrady]

Thank You LUKE:epic:
let me know bluberry...k?

[mrbig1]

What no runs for the sox. Am I dreaming?

[blueberryale77]

Thank You LUKE:epic:
let me know bluberry...k?

I will let you know. I'll probably see how my sister feels about sitting in the Hangout seats if we end up going that night. She shouldn't be too scared of all us internet O's geeks... she was friends with Rollie Fingers in high school.

[Keith SIO]

Ramon :(, please hit a ball in this game.

[The Wedge]

Anybody watching in HD getting a weird overlay on some of the camera angles? Almost looks like a watermark of some sort.

[birdsfan4ever]

Anybody watching in HD getting a weird overlay on some of the camera angles? Almost looks like a watermark of some sort.

I just noticed this also.

[The Wedge]

And as soon as I say something, I don't see it anymore...though they may have not used that camera again, but I doubt it.

[Keith SIO]

C'mon get some runs for Burress.

[mrbig1]

3 up and 3 down.:clap3:

[MurphDogg]

Burres is at 94 pitches, does he start the 7th?

[The Wedge]

Burres is at 94 pitches, does he start the 7th?

Either way, Trembley probably gets roasted for the decision if we lose. ;)

[mrbig1]

Burres is at 94 pitches, does he start the 7th?

With our bullpen,yes.

[catjuggler]

didn't we get their pitcher in the Ponson trade?

[MurphDogg]

Either way, Trembley probably gets roasted for the decision if we lose. ;)

That's what I was thinking...

[MurphDogg]

didn't we get their pitcher in the Ponson trade?

No, you are probably thinking of Ainsworth...

[The Wedge]

That wasn't a home run, Brian. It's not a cycle if you don't hit a homer.

[cindyluvsbrady]

I love Adam Jones:)
He is very nice!

[mrbig1]

Would you guy's believe the bluejays are beating the yankees 5-0 tonight.

[The Wedge]

I hope the people that jumped on Ramon for running, albeit mostly in place, jump on Adam for just walking away there.

[catjuggler]

No, you are probably thinking of Ainsworth...

Not I thought he was the minor leaguer it was Ryan Hannaman; i was WAYYYY off.

[HeatherC12]

Howdy folks. How are things going this evening? I noticed the score earlier (I assume it's still 4-3 with the O's leading?) and it's way cool that Brian is only a HR away from the cycle! Maybe the RS can put Okajima in there for him later, LOL ;)

Go O's!! :)

[The Wedge]

Go O's!! :)

They'd have to stage at least a mini rally to get him up again by the 9th.

[MurphDogg]

I hope the people that jumped on Ramon for running, albeit mostly in place, jump on Adam for just walking away there.

Well in Adam's case, the pitch wasn't in the dirt, Veritek just dropped it. Tough to fault Adam for not running...

[The Wedge]

Well in Adam's case, the pitch wasn't in the dirt, Veritek just dropped it. Tough to fault Adam for not running...

Well the people that got over Ramon claimed he wasn't even paying attention. Adam definitely wasn't paying attention. He was totally playing the "dejected strikeout victim" card. ;)

[cindyluvsbrady]

Hi Heather:)

[MurphDogg]

Talking Points Memo for Trembley Bashers: Burres is starting the 7th inning, if he gives up any hits prepare to pounce...

[The Wedge]

Welp, B-Ri is back out there, trying to, as Palmer puts it, pitch more than 6.

[The Wedge]

Talking Points Memo for Trembley Bashers: Burres is starting the 7th inning, if he gives up any hits prepare to pounce...

How about a walk? Especially a not even close 4 pitch walk?

[HeatherC12]

Hi Cindy! :)

Thanks for the update on the batting order. Bummer Brian missed the cycle but that's all right. We're in the seventh inning now I take it?

[The Wedge]

Hi Cindy! :)

Thanks for the update on the batting order. Bummer Brian missed the cycle but that's all right. We're in the seventh inning now I take it?

Yup, bottom half. I mean, they could get back around to him, it's not completely out of the question.

[Keith SIO]

Great outting Burress.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Hi Cindy! :)

Thanks for the update on the batting order. Bummer Brian missed the cycle but that's all right. We're in the seventh inning now I take it?

You MUST MOVE:eektf:
How can stand not seeing My Perfect One:hearts:?

[blueberryale77]

Yup, bottom half. I mean, they could get back around to him, it's not completely out of the question.

Only one person needs to get on and not get cut down on the bases in order to bring him up in the 9th.

[Boy Howdy]

The Red Sox feed just showed a stat that Pedroia, Youkilis & Ramirez are a combined 14-27 with 2 homers lifetime vs. Bradford.

[The Wedge]

Only one person needs to get on and not get cut down on the bases in order to bring him up in the 9th.

Exactly. A mini-rally.

I wonder if the extra facial hair on the left side of Pedroia's face gives him a crick in his neck from having to compensate?

[cindyluvsbrady]

Exactly. A mini-rally.

I wonder if the extra facial hair on the left side of Pedroia's face gives him a crick in his neck from having to compensate?

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

[MurphDogg]

Three guys need to get on and not cut down in order for Nick to get another chance to extend his hitting streak

[cindyluvsbrady]

Thank You My Melvin!!!:):clap3:

[The Wedge]

Okay, THAT one was probably compensating for Jones earlier in the game.

[blueberryale77]

Exactly. A mini-rally.

I wonder if the extra facial hair on the left side of Pedroia's face gives him a crick in his neck from having to compensate?

Can someone please find me a picture of Pedroia with this hair? Not having TV is killing me!

[The Wedge]

Apparantely this Manny is Of The Carmen.

Maaaaaaanny....of the Carmen...

[RShack]

Okay, THAT one was probably compensating for Jones earlier in the game.
Can't tell, really... depends on exactly when the ball was in his glove.
I can't tell for sure from either angle...

[HeatherC12]

Guess what I get to watch right now?! The O's-RS game! I apparently get a free trial of MLB.tv for voting in the Final Vote balloting so I get free mlb.tv for the next week. SWEET! I love not being blacked out of O's games, LOL ;)

GO O's!! :D

[The Wedge]

Can someone please find me a picture of Pedroia with this hair? Not having TV is killing me!

Maybe there'll be some in after game galleries or something. He's never quite grown out like this before.

[itsernst]

Three guys need to get on and not cut down in order for Nick to get another chance to extend his hitting streak

At this point in time, I just want a win. A solid win, hit streaks can end.

[The Wedge]

At this point in time, I just want a win. A solid win, hit streaks can end.

Hit streaks are boring, besides that, they're fascist.

[RShack]

Any way to tell what the O's record is, based on who's in the TV booth?

[itsernst]

Hit streaks are boring, besides that, they're fascist.

Long term, they don't matter...I just want a win.

[MurphDogg]

Hit streaks are boring, besides that, they're fascist.

I believe you are thinking of strikeouts...

[The Wedge]

I would love for Ramon to stick this INT in their faces. Just as long as he doesn't pull a Belliard if he does.

[blueberryale77]

Two out IBB to Scott ensures Brian will get another chance. :)

[The Rick]

Any way to tell what the O's record is, based on who's in the TV booth?

Nope, but I do know that with the recent stretch of bad losses Jim Hunter has been on the TV side in almost all of them.

[The Wedge]

I believe you are thinking of strikeouts...

I know what I said...and I stick by it. :vader:

[HeatherC12]

Two out IBB to Scott ensures Brian will get another chance. :)

I noticed that too. This mlb.tv thing isn't bad at all! :)

[PrivateO]

Question: Is Jay Payton really that much faster to replace Scott on 1st base?

I never found him to be a speedy guy...

[The Wedge]

Question: Is Jay Payton really that faster to replace Scott on 1st base?

I never found him to be a speedy guy...

He's not...but it gets him in the game. Status quo for this entire season.

[MurphDogg]

Yes, he is. The question of whether he is a better left fielder is debatable but he is certainly faster.

[HeatherC12]

The O's are hitting .282 with RISP?! Wow. :eek:

[BaltBird 24]

I know Johnson is Trembley's '8th inning guy', but does anyone else find it ridiculous that he's continually being ran into games when it's almost obvious to the blatant eye that he hasn't been pitching with his best stuff lately? Is there no one else that Trembley feels can get late inning outs not named Johnson or Sherrill?

It's the "it's his job" mentality. Like, if I'm under the weather, but at my job, my boss makes me do it. ;)

[Keith SIO]

Come On Grand Slam!

[Fist Bump]

Ok time for a grand slam!

[The Wedge]

Well, it's not exactly what I meant by "sticking it to them" for the INT, but drawing a walk in a full count to load the bases isn't bad. Now, we just need "Muscles" Fahey to be a beast.

[MurphDogg]

He's not...but it gets him in the game. Status quo for this entire season.

Really, you don't think Payton could beat Scott in a foot race? You could argue that the difference doesn't justify the difference in defense, plus the difference in hitting ability should the spot in the order come to bat again, but I think Payton is faster.

[RShack]

Nope, but I do know that with the recent stretch of bad losses Jim Hunter has been on the TV side in almost all of them.
And Dempsey... I think Buck did that bad West Coast swing when they had another 5-game losing streak... I was wondering what's the worse spell they've had with Palmer talking...

[HeatherC12]

Come on Brandon!

[The Wedge]

Yeah! I thereby dub Fahey Muscles!

[Keith SIO]

Why did Palmer say Fahey can't hit earlier? When he hits, he really hits.

[Fist Bump]

Nice job Fahey!

O's lead 6-3! *fistbump*

[HeatherC12]

FAHEY!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome!! :D

[cindyluvsbrady]

GO MY Os!!!!!:wedge::2yay-thumb:
Thank You little Brandon!:)

[The Wedge]

If he is, it's marginal, at least by my eyes.

Alrighty Roberts. It's only a cycle if it's a homer.

[MurphDogg]

Nice job Razor. The pinch running pays off as Payton scores :D.

[The Rick]

Did you see that boyish like smile on Fahey's face after that big hit? That was pretty awesome, I hope he keeps it up. I love to root for this kid.

[PrivateO]

I'll take any insurance runs we can get.

[catjuggler]

sorry i had no faith Brandon

Exactly who would you trust more than those 2 guys?

[backwardsk]

I think we've found our SS for the future! :D

He was very nice at Ironbirds!:)

[Keith SIO]

sorry i had no faith Brandon

with the way he has been hitting extra base hits I always have faith in him.

[The Wedge]

That's the exact opposite of a home run, Brian. Didn't they teach you anything at baseball school?

[MurphDogg]

Roberts really threw his bat and helmet after that strikeout. Don't usually see that much fire from him.

[HeatherC12]

Awww, you can tell Brian was annoyed with that at bat. :(

I hate Bill Hall. :angryfire:

[cindyluvsbrady]

That's the exact opposite of a home run, Brian. Didn't they teach you anything at baseball school?

Do NOT pick on My Perfect One!!!!!:hearts::no:

[RShack]

I have faith that JJ can give us a nice BORING bottom of the 8th inning...

[MurphDogg]

I have faith that JJ can give us a nice BORING bottom of the 8th inning...

I swear, if you keep saying that and he screws up you are going to wake up with a horse head in your bed one of these nights...

[itsernst]

I hope this is sarcasm.

[The Wedge]

Do NOT pick on My Perfect One!!!!!:hearts::no:

Asking me not to pick on somebody is like asking the Pope not to poop in the woods.

No wait, that's a bear.

[HeatherC12]

Darn Manny. I wonder if RSN will start being annoyed with all of Manny's crap when he goes through a hitting slump. :P

[MurphDogg]

Manny Ramirez gets a hit, says very little about Johnson's pitching ability.

Nice to see JJ getting ahead in the count...

[mrbig1]

We need a DP.

[BaltBird 24]

Exactly who would you trust more than those 2 guys?

Call me crazy, but I feel alot more confident when the ball is in the hands of Bradford than when it's in the hands of Sherrill. Johnson's been tough all year, but it's obvious that he must not be feeling 100% of late as his stuff has generally been off and he's been getting hit around.

Maybe it'd be an OK time to see what Cabrera can do in late inning situations? It's not like he's some young guy new to coming into ballgames in tight situations late.

[cindyluvsbrady]

LOL!!!!:D!!

[RShack]

Hey, it's been OK so far. Last night, my ISP went down for a bit, so I couldn't say it until after he put two guys on... but he got the next 3 guys right after I posted it...

As for Manny, I'll take a weak single any day of the week...

[The Wedge]

We need a DP.

Ask, and ye shall receive, my son.

[HeatherC12]

Double play! Very nice. :)

[cindyluvsbrady]

Darn Manny. I wonder if RSN will start being annoyed with all of Manny's crap when he goes through a hitting slump. :P

I hope so!:angryfire:
Can you guys help me? I cant see the game now:eek:
DVR taping 2 things:o

[MurphDogg]

Nice, nice, nice job fellas...

[The Wedge]

Palmer sounds like a weird version of a Press Your Luck contestant...

No target no target no target Target.

[The Wedge]

JJ looking like last night was just an off night. Of course you won't hear any apologies for the DT piler-on...ers.

[RShack]

I think we owe JJ a nice round of applause for such a BORING 8th inning...

[HeatherC12]

Time for the ninth inning! I love this mlb.tv thing. It makes following a game thread here MUCH easier, LOL :laughlol:

[The Wedge]

Don't punch the guy, Rick!

[HeatherC12]

I hope so!:angryfire:

What do you need help with Cindy? The game is currently heading to the top of the ninth after JJ had a hit by Manny, a DP by Lowell, and Sean Casey grounded out to Brian. I think Nick will be up first to bat. :)

My bad, Adam is up first in the ninth and he got a hit! :)

[MurphDogg]

Nice bounce back outing for JJ. I don't have much in the Talking Points Memo for Trembley haters tonight, though I am sure Sherrill is pitching the 9th, so if he screws up that's something...

[The Wedge]

Oh, I wish my wife were awake...she always complains that Cabrera is so serious, and there he is completely hamming it up.

[Ozone]

Time for the ninth inning! I love this mlb.tv thing. It makes following a game thread here MUCH easier, LOL :laughlol:

Yeah, but I want to punch my computer every time I see Coco Crisp on the MLB.TV commercial!
