Any place to catch free streaming of the game today? I'm at work and no TV access...

I get about 203 million combined.

[CalForOwnership]

Let's Hope We can pull this off, My confidence in this series went from very confident in Guthrie, Semi Confident in Uehara, to Uh-Oh in Simon. Hopefully the offense can back him up even more than the last couple games.

[mrbig1]

I get about 203 million combined.

and 50 cents.

[ThisIsOurHouse]

Giving some of our bench players a start today, it looks like Trembley is committing to his word of giving Mora, and other starters a rest early in the season.

[backwardsk]

Nice touch to do a moment of silence for Nick Adenhart.

How sad.

[Waryn]

I'm going to vent here for a second and say that it's absolutely garbage that when I turn on MLB.tv and look at the feeds available to me as "MASN" and then "YES-HD".

Why the hell is the visiting teams coverage network able to have HD in our ballpark and not us?


edit; ignore this as the actual feed says MASN-HD. I was going to get angry about my digital feeds!

[mrbig1]

The games is not on MLB radio????????

[Mackus]

I still can't believe Alfredo Simon is starting the 3rd game of the year for us.

Blech.

[Waryn]

The games is not on MLB radio????????

MLB Radio like XM/Sirius or http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter/ ?

[backwardsk]

The games is not on MLB radio????????

I have MLB audio and am listening to it. Does it say tbd for the radio broadcasts? If so, go out of the site and then come back in. That's what I had to do.

[The B&G]

very different lineup today for the yankees than the first two games

[Mackus]

Good start, K's Jeter on a high fastball.

[nemO821]

Jeter K's to start the game.

[jmsharrison899]

Nice start by Simon.

[Gulfbird44]

Let's hope the Hunter curse ended last year...

[Double062]

"Live" 105.7 feed is delayed. Blah...

[Jdan14]

Was that a change up that K'ed Jeter? 82MPH...

[mrbig1]

I have MLB audio and am listening to it. Does it say tbd for the radio broadcasts? If so, go out of the site and then come back in. That's what I had to do.

OK, now I got it.

[BaltimoreTerp]

I don't know if it's because they're both Dominican, and I'm definitely no expert on pitching mechanics, but is Simon's motion reminding anyone else of Danny Cabrera?

[nemO821]

Damon flies to center. Teix stinks in Baltimore.

[Mackus]

Its streaming video here if you want it:

[howie14]

"Live" 105.7 feed is delayed. Blah...

It always is. I hate it when I'm at the park.

[jmsharrison899]

LOL. Thats a pretty funny cover of the NY Daily News.

[Don_Aase_Fan]

Booooooooooo!

[OStrohNattyBoh]

I love the fact that we are still booing Tex! Keep it up!!

[nemO821]

Tex continues his hitting power. 1-10.

[The B&G]

http://stealthshot.net/

good find.

[wickedwitch]

Nice start.

[Jdan14]

Simon reminds me of a more under control DC.

[BaltimoreTerp]

LOL. Thats a pretty funny cover of the NY Daily News.

<img src="http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2009/04/09/gal_back_04_09.jpg"></img>

[mrbig1]

good find.

God bless you sir.

[nemO821]

<img src="http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2009/04/09/gal_back_04_09.jpg"></img>

What an awesome headline.

[sbauer]

I know it's very early, but our batting averages, especially our top three players, look absolutely gaudy. Thanks NYY!

[nemO821]

Dammit fans. Got to stop him from catching that.

[ThisIsOurHouse]

So much for home field advantage.

[The Wedge]

Listen to the fan response to that catch, Jim...they're not gonna interfere with a catch like that, we got a mostly Yankee crowd for the matinee.

[JamesI]

For those of us unable to watch the game, can someone post what happened?

[Mackus]

good find.Can't take the credit for it, someone on the main board posted it, just figured I'd pass it along.

[tywright]

Jones strikes out on a curve...

[blueberryale77]

Listen to the fan response to that catch, Jim...they're not gonna interfere with a catch like that, we got a mostly Yankee crowd for the matinee.

There sure are plenty of people booing Teixeira. Would it be too much to ask those people to do something constructive in addition to their booing? There was at least one guy in orange close enough to have stood his ground and blocked Damon from going that far into the stands.

[The Wedge]

For those of us unable to watch the game, can someone post what happened?

Damon made a catch with about 2/3s of his body in to the stands, nobody even tried to mess with him.

[Cporioles8]

Damon made a stellar catch down the left field foul line, reaching a couple of feet at least into the stands to rob BRob of another couple of pitches to check out. It was a nice opportunity for fan interference.

Also, the K on Adam Jones was the first strikeout by a Yankees starter so far...wow! That's impressive on the O's part.

Lastly...nice to see the top of the lineup immediately getting the pitch count up, once again

[Why Not?]

Listen to the fan response to that catch, Jim...they're not gonna interfere with a catch like that, we got a mostly Yankee crowd for the matinee.

Bad luck, the place where the ball came down happened to be in the aisle. There was no competition, but it's not like people got out of the way for him.

[blueberryale77]

For those of us unable to watch the game, can someone post what happened?

Roberts hit a foul pop up into the left field stands and the fans all got out of the way and let Damon reach several feet beyond the field to catch it.

[The Wedge]

There sure are plenty of people booing Teixeira. Would it be too much to ask those people to do something constructive in addition to their booing? There was at least one guy in orange close enough to have stood his ground and blocked Damon from going that far into the stands.

He was a middle aged Asian guy...not the sort of demographic you would think would do something like that.

[trk001]

If they hadn't mentioned it on MASN, y'all wouldn't even be talking about it.

[The Wedge]

Burnett seems to have his A-game today.

[nemO821]

Burnett' s stuff is looking nasty today. Could be a tough game.

[Malike]

Burnett is going to be tough today.

[backwardsk]

There sure are plenty of people booing Teixeira. Would it be too much to ask those people to do something constructive in addition to their booing? There was at least one guy in orange close enough to have stood his ground and blocked Damon from going that far into the stands.

Maybe a lot of the people booing Teixeira are Yankees fans. :D

[tywright]

Burnett's got the nastiness today

[OStrohNattyBoh]

Crowd sounds very Pro-Yankee, except for the boos I heard for Texeria.

[BaltimoreTerp]

As he reached for the ball, you could definitely see someone a few rows' back going for it, but it was just out of their reach.

[Malike]

After seeing that pitch again, it was clearly inside, but it was a nice hook.

[mrbig1]

Burnett seems to have his A-game today.

It's going to be hard today.

[blueberryale77]

Crowd sounds very Pro-Yankee, except for the boos I heard for Texeria.

If we're going to spell his name wrong anyway, can we just call him Texarrhea (that's what I think it would sound like if you pronounced 'Texeria')? :D

[tywright]

I didn't realize Simon had this kind of velocity (92-94). He could be a decent pitcher if he can control that curve and use the change effectively.

[BaltimoreTerp]

Today's "covering the bases" with an Oriole: Chad Moeller.

Guess they have to get him in early in the year...;)

[The Wedge]

Weird seeing a traditional catchers kit being used today.

[statman]

Burnett looks really good...his breaking balls are something else :(

[The Wedge]

It's going to be hard today.

Are you TRYING to get in to the out of context thread?

[Mackus]

8 pitches. Nice job.

Gonna need it the way Burnett looked. I guess its a bit much to ask if Sabathia, Wang, and Burnett all didn't have their good stuff.

[Malike]

8 pitch inning for Simon! We need more of that.

[Cporioles8]

Simon is gonna be tough today, too, it appears. Great start- 6 up, 6 down.

As far as velocity...it was my understanding that he actually pumps his fastball up to 96/97 at times. Is this true? His movement today looks very very good.

[tywright]

Gotta like that change by Simon

[The Wedge]

I guess Simon is bringing his A-game too. Good thing, hope it lasts.

[Skeletor]

I think Simin should just drop the curve and maybe add a hard cutter. I dont think he knows what throwing a good one feels like.

[CalForOwnership]

Looks Like Simon is on his game today as well, and has thrown less pitches than Burn-Out right now. Our offense is gonna pick up this inning I can feel it.

[BaltimoreTerp]

Simon is gonna be tough today, too, it appears. Great start- 6 up, 6 down.

As far as velocity...it was my understanding that he actually pumps his fastball up to 96/97 at times. Is this true? His movement today looks very very good.

Just like Wieters is supposed to be "Mauer with power"...could Simon be "Cabrera with control"?

[mrbig1]

Simon is gonna be tough today, too, it appears. Great start- 6 up, 6 down.

As far as velocity...it was my understanding that he actually pumps his fastball up to 96/97 at times. Is this true? His movement today looks very very good.

I'm loving it.

[McLovin]

Not really going out on a limb here - Alfredo Simon will join Weiters in the HOF one day.

[fansince71]

Its streaming video here if you want it:
http://stealthshot.net/

This is showing mets and reds:confused:

Now its showing the O's

[blueberryale77]

This is showing mets and reds:confused:

It keeps switching games - and periodically a guy with an annoying voice comes on and begs you to donate money to the site. But it does seem to be mostly showing the O's game at the moment.

[trk001]

This is showing mets and reds:confused:

Now its showing the O's

Wait, this isn't the Mets Hangout?

I have made a HUGE mistake.

[The Wedge]

That was too quick. Of course, it's the less patient part of the order.

[Cporioles8]

Huff bounces out, Wigginton makes an out, Scott with a lazy flyball to left... 3 up 3 down for the O's in the 2nd

[Jdan14]

The guy from stealthshot.net is an annoying yankees fan. I'm just saying...

[CalForOwnership]

IF anyone believes in superstition then Jim Hunter is the fault for everything he says lol.

[fansince71]

It keeps switching games - and periodically a guy with an annoying voice comes on and begs you to donate money to the site. But it does seem to be mostly showing the O's game at the moment.

Yea , now i get it . Kinda jumps from game to game.

[Malike]

Moeller is calling a pretty good game so far. He should know these hitters.

[Double062]

I have made a HUGE mistake.


Rep points for you for the Arrested Development reference...

[murrayfan420]

Wait, this isn't the Mets Hangout?

I have made a HUGE mistake.

COME ON!

Arrested Development reference?

Also, how come I can't post pictures in this thread?

[CalForOwnership]

Wow Palmer "Won won One One game....Last Year"

[murrayfan420]

There goes the no-no...

[trk001]

Wow Palmer "Won won One One game....Last Year"

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

[Scrat1]

That looked like a strike to me...

[Malike]

All this no fear of running ends when Matt gets up here.

[Cporioles8]

Gardner steals second, but Simon gets the K on Molina. 2 down, Jeter up

[randommetalguy]

We've got to get better at throwing out base runners this season.

[Cporioles8]

I lied. Molina didn't K, it was strike 2. full count

[The Wedge]

Gardner steals second, but Simon gets the K on Molina. 2 down, Jeter up

What game are you watching?

[Malike]

Gardner steals second, but Simon gets the K on Molina. 2 down, Jeter up

Unfortunately it was only strike 2.

[OStrohNattyBoh]

Our throws to second on steals have been horrendus this year. Anyone know if we have a catcher prospect coming up through the minors that could help us out with that?:clap3:

[Jdan14]

Get out of this inning please...

[fansince71]

did they stop the " give that fan a contract" ?

[Elon Os Fan]

Nice play fredo!!!

[The Wedge]

did they stop the " give that fan a contract" ?

I think so. I don't recall hearing it last year.

[Mackus]

Great play by Simon there.

[Goop]

Nice play!

[PaulFolk]

did they stop the " give that fan a contract" ?
They haven't done that in like 15 years.

[Scrat1]

Nice play. I doubt DCab would have made that.

[tywright]

Does DCab make that play ? :rolleyes:

[The Wedge]

I've just noticed that Simon kinda resembles Cabrera...except he can smile.

Edit ..and field!

[trk001]

"Let's go Orioles!" vs "Let's go Yankees" chant sporadically.

"Let's go Orioles" is drowning them out for the most part!

Jeter trying his darndest to GIDP, but only manages a single out.

[randommetalguy]

I know Jeter had the HR last night, but he has not been seeing the ball well. He keeps getting those swinging bunts or the soft rollers between fielders.

[PaulFolk]

Can someone describe the play Simon made?

[baltosravns2110]

Nice play. I doubt DCab would have made that.
I can't see many pitchers making that play, let alone D-Cab

[BaltimoreTerp]

Does DCab make that play ? :rolleyes:

ASim does!

[tywright]

did they stop the " give that fan a contract" ?

Not since Rex Barney passed away in 1997

[Cporioles8]

Slow dribbler toward 3rd base...Simon ran over, bare handed, and fired to first without hesitation to get Jeter by a half step

[Boy Howdy]

Ha- Yankees radio team said of Jeter's ball "That's gonna be a hit"

Not so fast, Freddy's got wheels

[BaltimoreTerp]

I've just noticed that Simon kinda resembles Cabrera...except he can smile.

Edit ..and field!

Some of us noticed that a half-hour ago :laughlol: ;)

[OStrohNattyBoh]

What is Simon's height/weight?

[Mackus]

The similarities between Cabrera and Simon end as soon as he has to field his position.

[Goop]

Way to get out of the jam!

[Scrat1]

Great job Simon!

[mrbig1]

Great play.:clap3:

[backwardsk]

Hey, hey. Way to field your postition and get yourself out of the inning.

[trk001]

I like this Simon guy.

SO FAR.

[baltosravns2110]

What is Simon's height/weight?
6-4 230 lbs.

[MTOsFan]

Another play Dcab wouldn't have made. :clap3:

[Cporioles8]

Gets out of the inning! Great job by Alfredo

Yanks had 2 on, but Simon got Damon to ground to first, and Huff flipped back to Fredo to end the inning

[BaltimoreTerp]

What is Simon's height/weight?

6' 4", 230 according to his BR page (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/simonal01.shtml).

[Malike]

Damon : Fredo, you broke my heart.

[fansince71]

Not since Rex Barney passed away in 1997

wow, time flys i guess. seems like just yesterday they were still doing it:o

[Jdan14]

I like Simon. He looks good. Maybe we have a 3rd SP on this team.

[OStrohNattyBoh]

Alright Pie!!!!

[Malike]

I like Pie!

[LookinUp]

1. ESPN's game cast is decent. They showed the % that a team scores with men on 1st and second and 1 out, 2 outs, etc. Interesting if nothing else.

2. The due up photos showed a Cardinal (Izturis), Yankee (Moeller) and Cub (Pie). I just thought that was interesting.

[ThisIsOurHouse]

Way to break the ice Pie.

[The Wedge]

Can someone describe the play Simon made?

Slow roller up the line, snagged by Simon to get the out at first.


Not since Rex Barney passed away in 1997

No, the new guy tried it at least in his first year, and it sounded HORRIBLE. So it was at least attempted after Barney.

Hey, Pie CAN hit!

[Scrat1]

Huzzah! Pie!

[BaltimoreTerp]

Pee-ay gets a hee-it!

[Elon Os Fan]

Really? Felix Pie? Really????

[tywright]

wow, time flys i guess. seems like just yesterday they were still doing it:o

They should have a recording of him saying it. And the "Thank Youuuu" should be incorporated into the gameday experience as well.

[jerios55]

wow, time flys i guess. seems like just yesterday they were still doing it:o

Well if I mentioned we've had no winning seasons since, would that make it feel a bit longer?

[Spoonless]

I really don't like that I can't resize the MLB.tv video. I don't want it to take up most fo my screen. I used to be able to paste the URL into VLC player, and get around it that way, but it doesn't seem to work this year.

[Elon Os Fan]

Pie reminds me of Willie Mays Hayes.

[ChaosLex]

What'd Pie do?

Double? Triple? Homerun? All of the above? :laughlol:

[The Wedge]

And he can steal!

[Austin]

Damn, Felix with a stand-up stolen base.

[baltosravns2110]

Pie does that exact, opposite field slap a lot. I have looked through a ton of highlights and gets that exact result, it is pretty nice.

He does that a lot too, nice steal!

[trk001]

Stolen base standing by 3.14.

[BaltimoreTerp]

Stee-olen base!

[Mackus]

Moeller should be bunting here, IMO

[TiredofLosing20]

Did anyone have Pie in the first hit today category? No?

[jerios55]

1. ESPN's game cast is decent. They showed the % that a team scores with men on 1st and second and 1 out, 2 outs, etc. Interesting if nothing else.

2. The due up photos showed a Cardinal (Izturis), Yankee (Moeller) and Cub (Pie). I just thought that was interesting.

I like cbssports.com game center a little better (Fits in a window tab and can easier to hide if needed).

[OStrohNattyBoh]

At least someone on our team knows something about baserunning!!!

[Austin]

Nice hit for Moeller, Pie on third now

[tywright]

Good job Moeller...way to hit it to right side

[Goop]

Alright, get some runs.....

[Cporioles8]

Sure glad Moeller didn't bunt!! Bottom of the lineup with the first threat here...all hail, Cesar! Let's go O's!

[The Wedge]

Bottom of the order cooking with evil gas.

[Malike]

YES network just said Adenhart died??

[Mackus]

YES network just said Adenhart died??Yeah, its all over the news and the boards.

[Austin]

I'm not sure what I think about Izturis so far. I'm hopeful he can have some kind of solid .270ish season this year.

[Austin]

Izturis K's on three pitches

[murrayfan420]

Watching the game on gamecast... curious as to why Pie didn't go home on the single by Moeller?

[BaltimoreTerp]

C'mon Salad Man, you can't let that one past...

[Goop]

Burnett sure is looking good...not good for us.

[Malike]

He better give Simon those strikes that far off the plate. Thats the second backwards K with a ball off the plate.

[CalForOwnership]

Well, the offense for Izzy is a plus, but his defense we huge for us. AJ looked pissed there three straight strikes to get Izzy.

[Austin]

WOO, RBI single for Brian

[The Wedge]

I'm not sure what I think about Izturis so far. I'm hopeful he can have some kind of solid .270ish season this year.

We didn't get him for his bat.

And there we go, thanks Bri-Bri!

[Mackus]

Alright Brian!

Lets blow this open with Adam and Nick!

[Goop]

There ya go BRob!!!!

[trk001]

Watching the game on gamecast... curious as to why Pie didn't go home on the single by Moeller?

He was too close to the ball to make it home.

Pie scores on a Roberts single.

[MTOsFan]

Watching the game on gamecast... curious as to why Pie didn't go home on the single by Moeller?

Could have easily been caught by Cano. He got his glove on it. Had to wait.

[Cporioles8]

BRob!!! RBI single to knock in Pie- still only one down

[CalForOwnership]

YESSSSS!!!!!! B-Rob gets it done single to center we needed that big time.

[mrbig1]

Oh Snap.:clap3:

[tywright]

Burnett is in the danger zone

[Austin]

We didn't get him for his bat.

And there we go, thanks Bri-Bri!
I know we didn't but I'm not ready to deem him some kind of offensive black hole, either. I'm hopeful he can put SOME (relatively) good numbers up this year.

[Scrat1]

Burnett sure is looking good...not good for us.

Yeah he looks filthy, but the O's are still piecing something together. Good to see.

[Goober Noodles]

BREAK OUT THE BROOMS!! Woooo

[The Wedge]

Iffy base running by Moeller there, not tagging could have been bad.

1st and 3rd, 2 down, Nicky up. Let's go, man. Scorch one.

[baltosravns2110]

I love... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/Pi-symbol.svg/600px-Pi-symbol.svg.png

Who would win in a street fight Moeller v. Fayhey?

[Austin]

SB for Brian, men on second and third now for Nick the Stick

[OStrohNattyBoh]

Looks like we worked on our baserunning earlier today!

[Elon Os Fan]

AJ looks really good. His stuff is filthy. Throws really hard

We are just hitting everything right now.....

I don't think you can post the image in the post can you?

You can if you do "[ img ]http://whatever[/ img ]" (remove the spaces).

Though most messageboards don't like it if you post an image that breaks the horizontal-scroll.

hrm. or not. Whatevs.

[Goop]

Is it just me, or is the home plate umpire calling a lot of strikes that are off the plate?

[Malike]

I see a Salami incoming!

[The Wedge]

Hey now. He might be a Steeler fan, but he's also an Os fan. That's the important part around here.

Come on Huffster.

[Cporioles8]

Markakis walks... Huff up with the bases jacked

[mrbig1]

Huff daddy please park one.

[OStrohNattyBoh]

I think this would be a good time for the first GS of the season. :)

On this particular section, the IMG code is off. There's a box down at the bottom left with that info.

[trk001]

The umpire has a spacious strike zone.

[Scrat1]

How many pitches has AJ thrown so far?

You have to know the secret trick :D

[Mackus]

Bummer, nice pitch.

[The Wedge]

Wicked pitch that snag Huff there, but at least we got one on the board with how he's pitching today.

[Goop]

Ugh!!!! His curve is ON today.

[bluedog]

Lots of first pitch strikes. I think he's thrown them to 8 of the first 11 batters he's faced.

He doesn't have good command of any of his off-speed pitches right now. Doing a great job of getting by with his fastball so far, but I'd think he'll have to get his splitter, curve or change-up over if he wants to go deep in this game.

Been impressed with his ability to throw strikes when he's needed to. With two men on base in the 3rd, he got up 0 - 2 on both Jeter and Damon before putting them both away.

[trk001]

Hey Burnett, save the fist pumps a win. You're not out of the woods yet.

[fansince71]

what the? fist pumping Burnett. that was gay

[TGO]

How many pitches has AJ thrown so far?

edit: 54

letters

[tywright]

Gutsy to throw a 3-2 curve with the bases loaded

[orangedive]

How many pitches has AJ thrown so far?

54- 33 for strikes

[srock]

Nasty indeed, but Huff just swung at ball 4. Nuts.

[Austin]

G** damnit, Teixeira hit a HR

[The Wedge]

SONOFA

And by HIM, too.

[Goop]

DAMN IT :mad:

[scottbbfm]

Dissapointing we didn't get more, but we made him throw a lot of pitches there. You have to keep the pressure on, and have tough AB's even if you don't get anything meaningful. This inning will pay dividends later in the game.

[Malike]

FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOO!!!!! :mad::mad::cussing:

[Can_of_corn]

Way too many cheers for that....

[El Gordo]

Tex HR. Bummer.:angryfire::cussing:

[Mackus]

Dammit Dammit!

[scottbbfm]

damn. I could see last night he was getting a little closer to getting something.

[blueberryale77]

Damn it!!!!!!!!!

The Yankee fan scuzzbucket on that streaming website is cussing up a storm about the [expletive][expletive] Orioles' fans. What a tool!

[Goop]

I was really hoping Tex wouldn't hit his first Skankee HR in OPACY....bummer.

[tywright]

Simon's velocity is down a tick

[Austin]

Damn it!!!!!!!!!

How dare us Orioles fans root for our team! We are beneath the Yankees, true baseball royalty.

[BaltimoreTerp]

Damn it!!!!!!!!!

Just remember what kind of sad little person they are who likely has to overcompensate for multiple physical and emotional flaws :)

[trk001]

Simon's velocity is down a tick

I imagine he's worried about his control and location after giving up the meatball and readjusting.

[cindyluvsbrady]

cindydoesntluvtex:angryfire:
I went to the 7 11 near my house and a BUS load of evil yank fans were there:angryfire:
I had O stuff on:)
They were soooooooooo mean:mad:
I had a tough time not really loosing my temper:eek::(

[Malike]

I would like to punch Michael Kay, right in the throat.

[jerios55]

Hey now. He might be a Steeler fan, but he's also an Os fan. That's the important part around here.

Come on Huffster.

I actually don't care he's a steeler fan. Calling the sweep after 3 innings is what caused the rant.

[Jdan14]

Damn it!!!!!!!!!

Yea that guy sucks. He just cussed out Oriole fans and Tex for not hitting in the first two games. Big Dummy.

[TGO]

Real bad pitch to Tex there by the looks of f/x.

It happens.

[Elon Os Fan]

Simon is loosing some stanima...looking like a RP, not a SP

[tywright]

I imagine he's worried about his control and location after giving up the meatball and readjusting.

Well the FB to TBag was only 90

Some ONE get this person thrown out NOW:mad:

[Malike]

STFU Nick Swisher, and take it like a man!

[Can_of_corn]

Some ONE get this person thrown out NOW:mad:

Cindy...the guy cursing is the one thats hosting the sight...can't throw him out. I will say the rest of the folks there seem fairly civil, I have been chatting with them.

[MDsportsfan15]

Might be time to start warming Bass up

[ThisIsOurHouse]

Those Yankees fans can't stand them...

[Mackus]

Well, the great rotation by tryout experiment seemed ok for 3 innings.

[Scrat1]

Ugh. Not happy about that.

[Why Not?]

Holy cow, Nick was going to catch that.

[TJ Wrangler]

I'm unable to watch this because I'm in class. Can anyone give me some input on how Simon has looked initially and as the game has progressed?

[Jdan14]

That guy had to of been a yankee fan...YOUR YELLOW SHIRT IS UGLY

[cindyluvsbrady]

Cindy...the guy cursing is the one thats hosting the sight...can't throw him out. I will say the rest of the folks there seem fairly civil, I have been chatting with them.

I thought this person was AT the game:o Sorry
I am soooooooo mad right now:angryfire:
Evil yanks!
:epic:

[Mackus]

Not sure Nick would've caught it, but it would've been close. Hard to tell from that angle if those two guys' hands were right above his glove or a bit further back.

[fansince71]

Stupid guy in the yellow shirt!

[CalForOwnership]

WoW, awesome fan why to take the ball away then hold out your arms like your the best thing ever. Go back to NY.

[Elon Os Fan]

The fan just stared down Markakis.

Im digusted :(

[blueberryale77]

Great, a guy in an orange-ish shirt reaches above Markakis to catch the home run ball but the fans scatter and make way for Johnny Damon to dive into the stands. Stupid fans! :cussing:

[Goop]

Well that sucks.

[Scrat1]

I still have faith in Simon. This is a tough line-up.

[RShack]

I'm unable to watch this because I'm in class. Can anyone give me some input on how Simon has looked initially and as the game has progressed?
Looked great 1st time through the lineup.
In the 4th, all the sudden they're hitting the ball hard.
How much of that is the MFY's vs. how much is him, I'm not sure.
