8/1: Lots of Former Mariners @ Mariners

[Sanfran327]

Game doesn't start until 10. I'm tailgating.

This is a good time to make some jokes about Seattle before we stomp them.

Good to hear from you, I thought I thought I was going to be the only one in the game thread tonight.

[Sanfran327]

Good to hear from you, I thought I thought I was going to be the only one in the game thread tonight.

No way, brother.

Hey, hey... I have a riddle for you. What do you get when you subtract a killer young CFer, an All Star closer, three minor league prospects, and add a pitcher that never pitches??

[Big Mac]

No way, brother.

Let me take a whack at it: One fired GM, One fired manager, and the worst team in the AL?

[Sanfran327]

Let me take a whack at it: One fired GM, One fired manager, and the worst team in the AL?

The 2008 Seattle Mariners!!

:wedge:

Are you tailgating with your laptop...if so...uber nerd! :D

[Sanfran327]

Are you tailgating with your laptop...if so...uber nerd! :D

Umm... I'm not actually tailgating. That was kind of a joke. In actuality, I'm doing exactly what you're doing: sitting in my house on a Friday night relaxing and checking out the OH.

[itsernst]

No worries...you were close enough that it was a possibility...

Just got off work, shoes are off...miller lite in hand...now i wait. :(

[Big Mac]

Here's the lineup:

Roberts 2B
Jones CF
Markakis RF
Huff DH
Mora 3B
Hernandez C
Millar 1B
Payton LF
Castro SS

SP-Garrett Olson (7-5, 5.90 ERA)

[JimDH]

Olson has that ERA back below 6.00 and headed the right direction.

[mdterps4life25]

Demper is really fascinated with Ichiro...I just wish he would stop saying ISSSHHHIRO

[weams]

Jones will own.

[weams]

see........

[Big Mac]

Huff is going deep tonight.;)

[weams]

see........

Score.....Nick rbi double.

[Big Mac]

RBI double by Nick!

[J.D.]

The Mariners line-up looks like a AAA line-up.

Also, it looks like the 2005 September line-up for the O's. ;)

I gots a real good feeling about this series.

[McNulty]

I'm totally wasted. GO O"S WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[weams]

Darn... no no-hitter tonight.

[Big Mac]

I love that call.

Bloomquist tried to bunt and the ball hits him out of the box, lol.:D

Replay actually showed he had one foot in the box.;)

[Big Mac]

Ibanez grounds into a DP, good inning for Olson.:clap3:

[McNulty]

Is Ibanez spanish for "Roll over"????

Keep/start throwing strikes Garrett.

[itsernst]

I'm totally wasted. GO O"S WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Its 1030pm your time, slow down Mister! :D


I have about 6 hours until bars close...all the time in the world!

[Sanfran327]

I'm totally wasted. GO O"S WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

See, you can tell he's actually drunk because of the quotation mark instead of the apostrophe.

:puke:

[itsernst]

They are clobbering him right now, too bad Center is 405ft.

[Lenn81]

Nice catch by the Mariners' CF, and a nice dramatic fall after he runs into the fence.

[itsernst]

See, you can tell he's actually drunk because of the quotation mark instead of the apostrophe.

:puke:



Also i think he meant to type woo hoo...instead he passed out half way through the woo and only got oooooo :D

[McNulty]

Its 1030pm your time, slow down Mister! :D


I have about 6 hours until bars close...all the time in the world!

I'm still on the miltary 2 on 2 off schedule with sliding weekends. So I've been off all day. I boiled brats in beer at 2pm EST, and just got back from an EXTENDED super terrific happy hour. Some buttknncker kept buying me shots. Nice job Jeremy Reed.

[Sanfran327]

Nice. OJ Payton needs help just to get on base these days.

[Sanfran327]

Umm, it's EDT, buddy. Don't be talking trash about my time zone.

[McNulty]

Umm, it's EDT, buddy. Don't be talking trash about my time zone.

Is it considered trash talking if I'm trashed but meant well?

[itsernst]

God Mlb.tv has become awful in the last couple of weeks...I have 7MB of bandwidth and it is still choppy :mad:

[itsernst]

AJ needs to go yard here!

[Sanfran327]

Is it considered trash talking if I'm trashed but meant well?

No. But that's a pretty funny coincidence.

[McNulty]

Damn. I thought AJ was going to come thru there. He's now 4-18 in his career with the bases juicy.

[JimDH]

Olson. 2 innings 18 pitches

[Big Mac]

Olson. 2 innings 18 pitches

Very nice.

[Sanfran327]

A Ground Ball With Eyes!

[Big Mac]

I'm so freaking sick of us making outs on the bases!:angryfire:

[MCL1021]

First apperance in a game thread in quite some time......

What's up peeps????? Good to see us with the lead even though Nick just got picked off

[McNulty]

Man, I don't care if Castro hits Fahey's weight the rest of the year....he's smooooooth out there. Nice to see.

[Big Mac]

Olson 28 pitches through 3 innings.

[itsernst]

Man, I don't care if Castro hits Fahey's weight the rest of the year....he's smooooooth out there. Nice to see.

Yeah he is quite the defensive SS...can't hit his way out of a wet paper bag...but im ok with that.

[HeatherC12]

Hey everyone! I definitely won't make it all the way through the game tonight (it was a LONG week at work) but I decided to hang around for a while and see how the guys were doing. Go O's!!! :clap:

[Sanfran327]

Ramon needs to get in the gym...

[TravelerRU]

Would those really be homers in OPACY? Man, I hope the Yankees end up with Washburn.

[Sanfran327]

Yeah he is quite the defensive SS...can't hit his way out of a wet paper bag...but im ok with that.

This is what we asked for. At the bare minimum, this is what we wanted when we gave up Tejada. He really ought to be the full-time, starting SS.

[J.D.]

Would those really be homers in OPACY? Man, I hope the Yankees end up with Washburn.

Yeah, more than likely. Safeco's a pain to hit HRs out of. The ball doesn't carry for crap there.

[J.D.]

..... Did we just pick someone off?

How nice to see someone ELSE make a base running error?

[Big Mac]

And Olson catches Bloomquist leaning. 2 outs.

[MCL1021]

Nicely done Garrett.

[Big Mac]

He's at 37 pitches now.

[JimDH]

minimum 12 batters. 12 outs in 40 pitches.

[mrbig1]

Our 1-2-3 hitters are coming up.

[mrbig1]

That sucks.

[JimDH]

Come on lets get some runs here.

[mrbig1]

Need a hit Mora.

[rooter]

RBI Machine Mora gets Markakis in.

[Big Mac]

RBI single by Mora.

2-0 O's in the 5th.

[Sanfran327]

I bet Seattle loves having Reed in CF this year...

[mrbig1]

Good job Mora.

[Big Mac]

RBI double by Ramon.

3-0 O's!:D:clap3:

[J.D.]

RAMON!!!!!

C'mon. Give him a little credit. ;)

[VivianDarkbloom]

Kakes is almost avian in the elegance with which he swoops into home

[McNulty]

Hey Jerry, Its Ramon, I'm coming up.

I was in the neighborhood and I thought I'd check you out....

HEY, that's cool....I'm up for some stuff.....

[JTrea81]

RAMON!!!!!

C'mon. Give him a little credit. ;)

He keeps enhancing that August trade value...

[J.D.]

He keeps enhancing that August trade value...

Okay. Close enough. ;)

[Big Mac]

And Millar walks to load the bases.

Washburn is done for the night.

[HeatherC12]

WEEE! Nice job O's!! :clap:

[mrbig1]

Need a big hit Payton.

[J.D.]

Can Jay Payton raise his August trade value?

[J.D.]

Can Jay Payton raise his August trade value?

YES!!! YES HE CAN!!!!!!!

6-0 Birds. I love playing the Mariners.

[Big Mac]

Can Jay Payton raise his August trade value?

Not if we keep playing him.:D:wedge:

and just as I type this, Payton clears the bases with a triple.

[RShack]

Ha! All the guys everybody hates are knocking in 2-outs runs like crazy...

[Ned from York]

Ok Juan, your job for this AB is just not to hurt yourself.

[McNulty]

Was anyone else screaming some variation of "Move your slow arse Millar!" there??s

Super sweet.

[mrbig1]

Payton you are the man!!!!:clap3:

[JimDH]

payton is 7 for 10 with bases loaded. I think

[Big Mac]

Castro with an RBI single.:eektf:

[J.D.]

Castro with an RBI single.:eektf:

Careful. The apocalypse may be upon us.

[JimDH]

Castro with an RBI single.:eektf:

You dont see that every day.

[mrbig1]

7 zip. Most of the runs are scored with 2 outs.

[Big Mac]

Roberts with a double. Castro to third.

[J.D.]

Can Jones come through here? Please?

[itsernst]

7 zip. Most of the runs are scored with 2 outs.

5 to be exact.

[McNulty]

8 in a row reached after AJ's DP. Crazy.

[JimDH]

Wow this bullpen move was a great idea!

[J.D.]

Adam Jones just tried to kill someone.

[El Gordo]

I hope they remeber the 10 run rule.:laughlol:

[J.D.]

9-0? Seriously? Is that 8 runs with 2 outs in the inning?

[Big Mac]

Jones drives in 2!

9-0 Birds.

[McNulty]

8 in a row reached after AJ's DP. Crazy.

Make that a big niner holmes.

[JimDH]

5 to be exact.

all except the 1st inning run

[El Gordo]

Every O has scored a run.:clap3:

[mrbig1]

Am I dreaming? 9 runs in the game so far.

[J.D.]

Well... if they're going to end the inning, at least they did it spectacularly.

[Big Mac]

O.K. now let's see how Olson does after the long layoff.

Washburn is already out of the game and Olson's still only thrown 37 pitches.

[blueberryale77]

I love when the O's play on the West Coast... and also when I come home just in time for them to have an offensive explosion! I kid you not, I got home and turned the computer on right before BRob's first at bat this inning! Now come on guys, keep stringing together hits until Brian gets a triple and a homer hits for the cycle in one inning! :D

Oh, never mind. Stupid diving left fielder... don't you know LFs aren't supposed to be able to play defense?

[VivianDarkbloom]

9 hits in the inning, 2 from Brob including double #40!(he had 42 in 156 games last year)

[RShack]

I hope they remeber the 10 run rule.:laughlol:
Well, there is that.


Every O has scored a run.:clap3:
Come on now, homer...
It's been only the ones in the lineup...

[Boy Howdy]

1) "BOY HOWDY!" (Man, I miss hearing Brooksie say that)

2) Where have all the fire Terry Crowley folks gone?

[Big Mac]

57 pitches for Olson.

[El Gordo]

Well, there is that.


Come on now, homer...
It's been only the ones in the lineup...Really, how often does that happen?

[nawlinsoriole]

The M's announcers keep calling Diamond D Trombley instead of Trembley. It's getting really annoying.

[Moose Milligan]

Damn, I hope Huff is alright. Hitting your head like that will definitely hurt, especially if you're wearing a hat with that stupid little beadie on top of it.

[J.D.]

Wow, Millar. He's so good at first.

So wait... Aubrey Huff's out of the game because... he. hit. his. head. on. the. dugout?

*tries not to laugh* I hope he's okay. That's gotta sting. And that's one of those stories your friends bring up to pick on you later.

[mrbig1]

Everything is going our way. It's about time.

[HeatherC12]

Careful. The apocalypse may be upon us.

When Castro is driving in runs against your team, that's when the opposing manager knows he has to pull his pitcher from the game, LOL :laughlol: :eek:

Go O's!!! :D

[Marvin]

Im really encouraged by Olson going out there and getting another good start. Not counting Sarfate's start, the starters have all pitched well this week.

And I hope Huff is ok..

[El Gordo]

The baseball gods are smiling on Olson tonight.

[El Gordo]

Im really encouraged by Olson going out there and getting another good start. Not counting Sarfate's start, the starters have all pitched well this week.

And I hope Huff is ok..Was Huff hurt?

[mrbig1]

I feel sorry for the Mariners.

[Big Mac]

Millahhh with a double!

[RShack]

57 pitches for Olson.
69 thru 6.

Watch somebody complain because he's not throwing K's...

[Big Mac]

69 thru 6.

Watch somebody complain because he's not throwing K's...

I think K rate is important, but he's got a 9-0 lead, I really hope Olson isn't trying to strike anyone out.

[Marvin]

Was Huff hurt?

I think they just said he had a minor head contusion due to hitting his head on the dugout roof.

It would suck to have to give a guy whos been hot as he is a day off tomorrow but Id imagine thats what will happen as a precaution. Hopefully he can pick up where he left off tonight..

[Saintbird]

And now it's time for the The OH soda race of the game sponsered by Jtrea.

Here are the contestants...

1. Coke

2. Pepsi

3. Root Beer

[MCL1021]

Good to see us beating up on the teams that we need to beat up on.

[El Gordo]

I would love to see Oson go 9.:clap3:

[MCL1021]

Either the Mariners are that horrible or Garrett is just really locked in....

No strikeouts for Garrett? Nice to see he's thrown only 71 pitches thus far.

[HeatherC12]

Wow, that's awesome for Garrett! It sure would be nice to see the bullpen get a night off while they're on the road. :)

What exactly happened to Aubrey? I'm not watching the game so I'm not sure how he got hurt. :confused:

[Big Mac]

Wow, that's awesome for Garrett! It sure would be nice to see the bullpen get a night off while they're on the road. :)

What exactly happened to Aubrey? I'm not watching the game so I'm not sure how he got hurt. :confused:

He hit his head on the dugout ceiling.

[HeatherC12]

He hit his head on the dugout ceiling.

Was he going after a foul ball or was he just going down into the dugout?! :eektf:

[trk001]

I'm keeping track on Gameday, but no video to watch. Is Olson dominating as much as the stats seem to show or is he getting lucky?

[itsernst]

Either the Mariners are that horrible or Garrett is just really locked in....

No strikeouts for Garrett? Nice to see he's thrown only 71 pitches thus far.

And only 1 Walk!!!!!!!

[Big Mac]

Was he going after a foul ball or was he just going down into the dugout?! :eektf:

He was just going down into the dugout.

[Saintbird]

And now it's time for the The OH soda race of the game sponsered by Jtrea.

Here are the contestants...

1. Coke

2. Pepsi

3. Root Beer

And there off... There all neck and neck... Coke pulls out in front... but here comes Pepsi!... Pepsi has never won before... it's gonna be close but... Coke wins it!

[Big Mac]

I'm keeping track on Gameday, but no video to watch. Is Olson dominating as much as the stats seem to show or is he getting lucky?

He's just throwing strikes and letting them put it in play. Nothing that's really dominating but he isn't walking people and his given up nothing but singles.

[El Gordo]

I'm keeping track on Gameday, but no video to watch. Is Olson dominating as much as the stats seem to show or is he getting lucky?He's a bit luckier than the stats would indicate IMO.

[trk001]

Any bullpen action? 88 pitches going into the 8th; be great for him to get a complete game.

[Moose Milligan]

Awesome Scott is safe :)

[Big Mac]

Great Hustle by Luke!

[El Gordo]

Cintron sighting.!:eek:

[blueberryale77]

He was just going down into the dugout.

Was there video of it? The M's broadcast just said Scott pinch hit for him, the only thing I've heard about Huff hitting his head is on here.

On a more or less unrelated note, Trembley just pinch hit for Mora, who has had plenty of rest lately. Why the heck is his overworked, underperforming catcher still in there? Guillermo Quiroz has shockingly few at bats for a backup C who has been the only one for his team all year and Hernandez isn't even good!

Also, I'll bet Trembley's going to use Fahey for Roberts, but since he can play a little OF he really should use him for Markakis since he hasn't had so much as an inning off in over a month with the way our roster is configured.

[Big Mac]

There wasn't video of it, it was reported by Viviano on MASN. They said that like half the team was in the clubhouse with him, but it isn't serious.

I think they called it a "mild head contusion".

[Big Mac]

Olson's coming back out for the 8th.

[El Gordo]

I expect he's leaving Ramon in because Olson is pitching a good game and he doesn't want to disrupt his rythm by replacing his C. BRob needs the rest more than Nick.

[RShack]

I like Thorne, but he just mentioned not 1, but 2 things in 1 sentence that he shouldn't be talking about.
At least Buck kept his trap shut...

[trk001]

3 pitch strike-out. Garrett Olson says hello to the 8th inning.

[blueberryale77]

I expect he's leaving Ramon in because Olson is pitching a good game and he doesn't want to disrupt his rythm by replacing his C. BRob needs the rest more than Nick.

Not true at all. BRob had the day off Sunday, has been taken out of two blowouts recently, and they all had the day off yesterday. Nick shouldn't be playing every single inning of every single game no matter how young he is. Even if it doesn't affect him now, he'll wear down faster later in his career if he's abused as a young player.

[Boy Howdy]

Letting Olson complete a shutout will do his morale more good than the extra pitches will hurt his arm.

[El Gordo]

Not true at all. BRob had the day off Sunday, has been taken out of two blowouts recently, and they all had the day off yesterday. Nick shouldn't be playing every single inning of every single game no matter how young he is. Even if it doesn't affect him now, he'll wear down faster later in his career if he's abused as a young player.BRob fades in the stretch traditionally, but Nick gets hot in August and Sept. BRob needs as much rest as he can get to reverse the trend so we can trade him.:mwahaha:

[RShack]

Pretty odd to have 10 R and no dingers... it's what you call a team effort...

[rooter]

Olson coming back out for the 9th.

[blueberryale77]

I just noticed they gave Ichiro a hit on the grounder Fahey booted. I guess the friendly home scorer is why he keeps getting 200 hits a year and leading the world in "infield singles." :rolleyes:

[Boy Howdy]

What was all the laughing and smiling with Cabrera & Mora about last inning?

Were they teasing Bedard?

(I have the Seattle TV feed with no sound turned on)

[HeatherC12]

Go Garrett!! Wow, what a game for him tonight. :clap:

BBTN is doing a very poor job of covering all the late games tonight considering I haven't seen a single update about the Orioles-Mariners game and it's been almost 40 minutes. :angryfire:

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Olson, get your first shutout.

[JTrea81]

DP ends it...

[WEAVERMAN]

Get a DP ball to end it.

[El Gordo]

Question? Didn't we have to dump someone to make room for Cintron? Who was it?

[JTrea81]

C'mon Olson you can do it...

[mrbig1]

Let's get a DP.

[JTrea81]

Question? Didn't we have to dump someone to make room for Cintron? Who was it?

Burres was optioned.

[Big Mac]

Question? Didn't we have to dump someone to make room for Cintron? Who was it?

Burres was optioned to Norfolk.

[mrbig1]

Olson pitch count now at 113.

[OrioleParkatWrigley]

Ouch we definitely have to end that 90 game streak without a shutout.

[JTrea81]

Gotta pull him now. He just can't finish it.

[Big Mac]

Great job by Olson!:clap3:

[mrbig1]

Great game for Olson.

[JTrea81]

C'mon Lance, DP and the shutout is preserved...

[WEAVERMAN]

Too bad Olson couldn't close it out.

[Juanvald]

Eh, Trembley should have left him in for one more batter. Give him a chance to get DP to end it with complete game shutout. Oh well, this is probably the wiser move.

[OrioleParkatWrigley]

So in comes Cormier. GREAT outing by Olson. Good decision to take him out - there's no use in trying to force the complete game.

[El Gordo]

Why bring in Cormier? Bring in Bradford for the DP ball and save the shut out.:confused:

[trk001]

Should have given him one more batter. If he gets the outs, excellent. If not, well, who cares if they score a run or two before he's pulled. His usual start is 5 - 6 innings, so his ERA will even out to what it normally is anyway if a run or two goes in. Of course, I suppose this is why I'm not an MLB manager.

[mrbig1]

Any ball in the infield and that's it.

[JTrea81]

I'm kinda surprised Walker isn't in here. He does better vs. RH hitters where Cormier has struggled as of late...

[WEAVERMAN]

2-2 Cormier, don't go to 3-2.

[OrioleParkatWrigley]

There goes the shutout...

[mrbig1]

Damn!!!:cussing:

[JTrea81]

Shutout gone. Cormier needs to be sent down. The league has figured him out over the last month...

[trk001]

Olson could have given up that run just as well as Cormier could have. Yes, I'm second guessing Trembley in a 10 - 1 game.

[HeatherC12]

I don't really care about the shutout at this point...let's just end the game and get the win, LOL :laughlol: :D

[WEAVERMAN]

Get the DP to end it, Cormier

[JTrea81]

C'mon! :cussing:

Olson's responsible for one more...

[WEAVERMAN]

Shutout gone. Cormier needs to be sent down. The league has figured him out over the last month...

He's just another journeyman pitcher. He'll go from club to club.

[OrioleParkatWrigley]

It's a shame these runs are being charged to Olson.

[itsernst]

Seriously...shutout's are forgotten....a win is what counts.

[mrbig1]

Look who's coming up.

[WEAVERMAN]

If Ichiro reaches, get Bradford up.

[JTrea81]

As I said, the league's figured out Cormier.

Bring up Mickolio...

[bummer]

So how's my team looking?

[itsernst]

He's just another journeyman pitcher. He'll go from club to club.

He isn't pitching bad, they are squibby ground balls that squeak by...nothing you can do about it.

[JTrea81]

Those are yours now Lance. Might want to try a little harder...

[El Gordo]

It's a shame these runs are being charged to Olson.
No it's not he put the runners on. The question is can Cormier get 2 outs before they score 7? And when can we get a SS who can make the plays he needs to make?

[itsernst]

As I said, the league's figured out Cormier.

Bring up Mickolio...

You are right, they figured out how to hit a ground ball that doesn't get outside of the infield...stop preaching.

not one ball has been hit in the air.

[WEAVERMAN]

Hey Thorn, the game's not over yet. Cormier and Fahey may keep it going for a while.

[mrbig1]

OK this is starting to suck.:angryfire:

[blueberryale77]

:cussing: What is thtis nonsense, the double mother's day meltdown? :cussing:

[itsernst]

Those are yours now Lance. Might want to try a little harder...

You are such a homer...unreal.

[JTrea81]

Good leave Cormier in there to self destruct...

[mrbig1]

I don't believe it.

[OrioleParkatWrigley]

10-5? And how many of those can we blame on Fahey at this point? I say at least two..

[WEAVERMAN]

Fahey can't make a play

[Big Mac]

Fahey and his glove are not on the same page this inning.

[nevadaO]

This is awesome.

[itsernst]

Good leave Cormier in there to self destruct...

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! That was game over if fahey threw the ball!!!!!!

[JTrea81]

You are such a homer...unreal.

I don't even know if that's supposed to be an insult, but yes I root for the Orioles... :scratchchinhmm:

[blueberryale77]

How many errors has Fahey made now without making an error? Sadly, I think tonight is going to seal his fate. He'll be the SS to go when they add another starter to the roster.

[mrbig1]

Game over.

[The Rick]

And the Orioles are back in the WIN Column!!!

Feels good, screw the M's!!!

[JTrea81]

Sounds like Fahey just earned a spot on the bench or in Norfolk with that performance...

[WEAVERMAN]

Hey Fahey, enjoy Norfolk.

[8istheman]

The good news is Cormier won't be available on Saturday.

[itsernst]

I don't even know if that's supposed to be an insult, but yes I root for the Orioles... :scratchchinhmm:

You complain about Cormier not pitching..but only one ball that was hit left the infield...but you say "the league has figured him out".


His GB/FB ratio that inning was 4:1, so tell me what he was doing wrong?

[itsernst]

Sounds like Fahey just earned a spot on the bench or in Norfolk with that performance...

No it was Cormier...you said it.

Boy what a way to take the fun out of a 10-0 blowout win. Oh well, all that matters is the W. Let's take the next two!

You complain about Cormier not pitching..but only one ball that was hit left the infield...but you say "the league has figured him out".


His GB/FB ratio that inning was 4:1, so tell me what he was doing wrong?

So he's been unlucky for an entire month? It may have not been his fault because of Fahey for a couple of those runs but he still hasn't performed well as of late.

He didn't strikeout the first two batters he faced obviously.:rolleyes:

Seriously all the hits off Cormier probably traveled a collective 250 feet.

Fine win, great offense, good pitching by Olson, Cormier and Fahey confirm their nothing special in a crazy ninth.

The league may have figure him out, but basing that off tonight is ridiculous.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! That was game over if fahey threw the ball!!!!!!This is why you play Castro over Fahey no matter what he's hitting . The game would have been over with 1R scored. I'm Hoping we see Cintron at SS with Castro asa lte innings defensive replacement or spelling BRob at 2B.

Sounds good.

Dang, that was a little more exciting than it had to be. Glad the O's got the win, I'm EXTREMELY happy for Garrett, and now I really need to go get some sleep, LOL :laughlol:

Go O's!!! I hope the offense stays awake for the rest of the road trip! The pitching can stay awake too or in the case of Cormier, actually wake up a little more, LOL ;)

Would be nice to win this series with 3 more against the Angels forthcoming
