Note - I have no inside information, but I am trying to go 2/2 on lineup predictions here.

I'm guessing:

Nick Markakis - RF

David Lough - LF

Adam Jones - CF

Chris Davis - 1B

Nelson Cruz - DH

J.J. Hardy - SS

Matt Wieters - C

Ryan Flaherty - 3B

Jonathan Schoop - 2B

Flip-flop Hardy and Wieters and I think you have it. Buck loves to go R-L-R-L when possible. I think you might as well have Lough leadoff if he's going to be that high in the order, but Buck probably keeps Nick there.

I don't remember ........ would you be offended if I called you "Wolverine" or "Spartan," Michigan Man ???

Yea let's bench Schoop for no reason!

Anyone else he lets play 160 games.

In a way tonight's game is actually better than OD. OD day is great of course, a celebration of baseball. But tonight is the return to normalcy. Pregame at 6:30, 7:05 start time. The start of the marathon. Baseball is BACK baby!!!

Or save him from a very tough rightie.

Yup. Going to the game and the sun came out. What could be better? Winning the billion in the Warren Buffer NCAA challenge. But I think I did not get all my picks right..

Let's go O's

Herpity derpity deeeeeeeeeeeeerp.

Jeez! Even spelled his name wrong. :rofl:
