Guthrie vs Reyes

[mrbig1]

I'm glad that Guthrie is pitching tonight. We might have a shot.

[mrbig1]

Guthrie is dealing tonight.

[mrbig1]

Huff daddy hits his 25th home run.

[Saintbird]

Huff Daddy!!!:clap3:

[mrbig1]

Good hit Luke. 2 on nobody out.

[mrbig1]

2-0 birds.:rofl:

[The Rick]

If you look at what they've done within the division, is the reason why they've failed so miserably this year.

Joe Angel?

[The Rick]

Joe Angel?

Yup.

There's really no good reason why I said that except for that i'm drunk, and figured the best way to make my first post of the game thread tonight would just to be to type the first thing I heard Joe Angel say.

I'm actually surprised you picked up on it as insignificant as it is. Well done.

[McNulty]

Yup.

Did you hear earlier when he was teasing his producer about "downloading stuff on the internet", then explaining the "ding" sound as a "boyoyoyong" sound? How unintentionally hilarious was that?

I missed that, but that is hilarious... Wish I would have tuned in a few minutes earlier... Nothing beats Joe Angel!

BTW - i've been royally bored since i've been done with The wire, so I found a new TV show... It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It's hilarious. Heard of it?

Discovered it last year...absolutely a riot.

I'm planning on getting down with Dexter here shortly.

Another show you might not be watching that rules is Intervention.

[McNulty]

Guthrie has been getting behind quite a few hitters tonight. Hasn't burned him yet though.

[ledzepp8]

I don't know...the ball did look like it changed direction after he swung. Who knows?

Wow...how is that a wild pitch?:scratchchinhmm:

[Saintbird]

Lady's and Gentleman... I am now officially... A Plus-Member! (Trumpets blow.)

Very good. :)

[MurphDogg]

I like how your plus member status under your username is written out long hand and everybody else's is abbreviated. You must be really special.

[Saintbird]

I know I reliezed that too. I think I deserve some Plus Rep.;);):D

[Saintbird]

C'mon Mora!

[Saintbird]

This must be the most dead game thread I've ever seen! Has there been like a power outage in everywhere but Florida. that's funny because we're the ones with a hurricane coming through!

[MurphDogg]

Luke Scott takes another shot at everybody's notion that he is a below average left fielder.

[McNulty]

It's funny because we're the ones with a hurricane coming through!

We are? Since when?

[zff4]

Lou Montenez in-game interview pretty interesting in that his well spoken comments quietly revealed his intelligence. Sounds like a good guy.

[Saintbird]

We are? Since when?

I heard from somewhere that we are, maybe I'm wrong though.:confused:

[MurphDogg]

79 pitches through 5 for Guthrie. He should be able to comfortably go 7.

[mrbig1]

Come on now. We need runs for Guthrie.

[JimDH]

Oh no. We need some runs again.

[zff4]

The last one hurricane we had there were fish swimming up Pratt Street. I"m going outside now to roll up the car windows.

[mrbig1]

Lady's and Gentleman... I am now officially... A Plus-Member! (Trumpets blow.)

Groovy. :D

[Saintbird]

I heard from somewhere that we are, maybe I'm wrong though.:confused:

Let me re-quote this, I'm pretty sure there is a hurricane close to us in the Carribean, but were getting the rains and winds from it. To those of you that think Florida is hotter than Maryland... You're dead wrong. We have breezes from the Gulf. We're just hot year -round that's it. Just thought I'd give you that piece of information.

[MurphDogg]

Nice stroke Millar, drive him home Luke!

[mrbig1]

Nice stroke Millar, drive him home Luke!

Yeah, what he said.

[McNulty]

The disturbance closest to the United States is located about 200 miles east of the Leeward Islands and is moving toward the west-northwest at 10 to 15 mph. Showers and thunderstorms have flared during the day with this area of low pressure but are not currently collocated with the circulation center. This system will be monitored over the next several days and may eventually get into a better environment for development. In the Leeward Islands, expect increasing showers the next 36 hours.

http://www.weather.com/newscenter/hurricanecentral/update/index.html?from=hp_news

What are you talking about? I know its been raining and storming like crazy...

[WEAVERMAN]

Let's get some runs.

[JTrea81]

Guts has another 1-2-3 inning...

1 more inning and then JJ and Sherrill will be in...

[McNulty]

90 pitches through 6. See if we can get one more inning outta Guts.

You're right, I just checked. But I could swear I heard someone saying we are getting a hurricane. Well, I'd rather not anyway.:D

[JTrea81]

Roberts with a forgettable day at the plate...

[MurphDogg]

Nice, nice, outing for Guts!

[JTrea81]

What a finish by Guts. Now it's up to JJ and Flat Breezy...

[McNulty]

What a finish by Guts. Now it's up to JJ and Flat Breezy...

The radio guys are making it sound like he's coming back out for the eighth.....sigh.

[JTrea81]

C'mon Huff Daddy!

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Huff, get it done, the next club that scores wins.

[MurphDogg]

The radio guys are making it sound like he's coming back out for the eighth.....sigh.

He's only thrown 101 pitches, it really is a judgment call. I just assumed because there were relievers up in the 7th he was probably done.

[MurphDogg]

C'mon Huff, get it done, the next club that scores wins.

Not sure that is really how it works. :D

[McNulty]

He's only thrown 101 pitches, it really is a judgment call. I just assumed because there were relievers up in the 7th he was probably done.

Ordinarily I'd agree, but Guthrie hits a wall at 105 pitches almost every time.

[JTrea81]

Well at least Huff worked the count...

Time to deliver Millar...

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Kevin, go big time.

[MurphDogg]

Ordinarily I'd agree, but Guthrie hits a wall at 105 pitches almost every time.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/splits?playerId=5370

If you look at the splits he really hits the wall at 90 pitches. From 90 to 120 he is about the same.

[Jagwar]

Betancourt might be as slow to the plate as Trachsel out there

[JTrea81]

C'mon Kevin, all you had to do was hit a sac fly... :(

Luke, you gotta get this run home...

[JTrea81]

You can't bring Guts back out now. It's too close...

[rooter]

You can't bring Guts back out now. It's too close...

You can't bring that unreliable bullpen out now. It's too close :wedge:

[McNulty]

You can't bring Guts back out now. It's too close...

Well, I think I'd rather have Guts then Walker out there.

[JTrea81]

Well, I think I'd rather have Guts then Walker out there.

Trembley is playing with fire here...

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Jeremy, these are tough outs, but take easy, relax, you can do it.

[jamessemaj]

Woo-hoo, J-Walker!!!

[JTrea81]

C'mon Jeremy, these are tough outs, but take easy, relax, you can do it.

You mean Jamie right?

Nice K by Walker there...

[JTrea81]

Trembley with another questionable choice...

Rocky Cherry in to face the PHer Francisco. Francisco has better splits vs. RHP than he does LHP so this should be interesting...

[McNulty]

Is JJ or Sherrill unavailable tonight?

[MurphDogg]

Dy-no-mite! Walker got the lefty and the match-up they wanted on the switch hitter, and forced Wedge to bring in a righty to face Cherry.

[MurphDogg]

If you're throwing, to Ben Francisco! (Tune of Mamas and the Papas)...

[JTrea81]

Not good, hopefully he's got somebody else in the pen. Cherry is not getting it done...

[nemO821]

I think Trembley's seeing if Cherry can pitch in pressure situations. I f he can he stays up and competes for a spot next year. If he can't I believe he'll get sent down.

[JTrea81]

Throw strikes! :cussing:

[LA2]

C'mon Rocky--one more strike!

[McNulty]

I think Trembley's seeing if Cherry can pitch in pressure situations. I f he can he stays up and competes for a spot next year. If he can't I believe he'll get sent down.

I doubt it. We do know he can make "movies" and/or Ice Cream under pressure though. :D

[JTrea81]

Yes! :clap3:

Now let's get some runs for Flat Breezy...

[LA2]

Is JJ or Sherrill unavailable tonight?

I wish Sherrill were unavailable....

Indians' announcers sd that Ramon "just lolly-gagged it back to the backstop" on that WP/PB. I guess it's widely known how poor a catcher is--and, as I type, Ramon almost blows even the K. :eektf:

[nemO821]

Maybe Trembley is playing for next season and not this season like he was before. I think the vets will start to see a lot less PT.

[WEAVERMAN]

Let's get some runs

[JTrea81]

Ramon thought he could beat out a bunt? :rofl:

[McNulty]

What is Ramon doing trying to bunt? He's slower than Bea Arthur.

[McNulty]

I think we need to pinch run with Cintron here.

[JTrea81]

There you go Ramon, you are better at swinging the bat...

[JTrea81]

All of a sudden the bottom of the order starts to come alive...

[JTrea81]

I'm guessing Castro tries the sac bunt here...

With "tries" being the word...

[McNulty]

Pinch Run For Ramon Next Time!

[JTrea81]

Time to get a hit here Roberts...

[nemO821]

Maybe Ramon should try rolling to the base. He could get there faster.

[JTrea81]

God we suck at clutch hitting... :cussing:

[JTrea81]

C'mon Nick, you need some more RBIs...

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Nicky

[JTrea81]

Way to go Nick! :clap3:

[ledzepp8]

Wait a second!!! Old #5 Fan said Nick doesn't come through in clutch situations...:scratchchinhmm:

[Marcus]

That a boy NICK!

[McNulty]

God we suck at clutch hitting... :cussing:

Say what? :D

[jamessemaj]

Our best player making our biggest play! Yeah, Nicky Mark!!

[nemO821]

Its to bad Nick's so overrated. ;)

[JTrea81]

Time to blow it open Huff Daddy!

[Jagwar]

Huff is a baaaaaaaaaaad man...

(this year)

[JTrea81]

Huff Daddy delivers! :clap3:

[ledzepp8]

Oh snap! Brendan Donnelly has screwed the pooch this inning.

Way to go H. Diddy!!!

[itsernst]

Kakes average is now up to .307!

Pay that man his money!

[backwardsk]

Is Huff the same guy we had last year? Or is it two players with the same name? :clap3:

[weams]

Pay and man are words that were last used for Melmor. Can we use a different mantra? :D

[jamessemaj]

Man, is it nice to see an inning blow up in favor after the last few games, or what??

[JTrea81]

Rincon throws a WP for his first pitch and Mora scores!

[itsernst]

Pay and man are words that were last used for Melmor. Can we use a different mantra? :D

Give that Greek his winnings!

[blueberryale77]

Is Huff the same guy we had last year? Or is it two players with the same name? :clap3:

Last year it was two players. They removed the extra one when Aubrey had his hernia surgery.

[nemO821]

Kash for Kakes

[weams]

Give that Greek his winnings!

Better... Flat Breezy.

[JTrea81]

It's kinda hard to believe nobody wanted Huff Daddy for the stretch run. Oh well their loss... :)

[ledzepp8]

Let's see if Flat Breezy can get through this one w/o putting a single runner on base.

Little Victories???

[Jagwar]

Why do I sense that Sherrill will give up 4 runs and the O's will win 6-5? :noidea:

[LA2]

No longer a save situation. Too bad Sherrill was the only one warmed up. Otherwise cd have thrown in someone from our fine collection of moppers.

[ledzepp8]

Well I guess not.:laughlol:

[JTrea81]

Yep, it's Flat Breezy time once again. The leadoff man is on...

[McNulty]

Last year it was two players. They removed the extra one when Aubrey had his hernia surgery.

How's the new digs?

[Jagwar]

Yep, it's Flat Breezy time once again. The leadoff man is on...

he still has 2 open bases to work with.

[blueberryale77]

Oh look, Georgie gave up a hit to the first batter. Isn't that cute? :angryfire:

[JTrea81]

Sherrill is downright nasty to LH hitters...

[blueberryale77]

How's the new digs?

Nice but empty. Buying furniture when you're both cheap and picky is a major pain in the butt.

[Jagwar]

Nice but empty. Buying furniture when you're both cheap and picky is a major pain in the butt.

It is even worse when one is cheap, picky AND broke.

[JTrea81]

And the Orioles are in the WIN column!

Flip 'em up! :clap3:

[blueberryale77]

Yay Sherrill not giving me a heart attack! :mwahaha:

[LA2]

Guthrie wins his 10th, 7 and 1 in his last 8 decisions. ERA down to 3.18. He's finally getting the results he deserves.

[WEAVERMAN]

Great job by Jeremy, the defense, Nicky and Huff. Great team win.

[birdman57]

Great job by Jeremy, the defense, Nicky and Huff. Great team win.
Would love to see Bedard back here next year to form a great 1-2 punch:)
