It's going to snow in South Beach tonight, Palmiero got a 2 out hit with runners on. Better get my winter coat.

unbelievable that yet again Sidney isn't gonna get a loss

Great inning!

Lopez is in a dumb funk. Sometimes you're just not going to hit every dam thing thats thrown

[MCL1021]

Still doesn't mean Raffy should be batting 5th in this lineup, but it's nice to see him hitting well here tonight, especially with 2 outs.

Well I just logged on to the Hangout, and I gotta say we've got some disgraceful fans. You can be negative, but the way people are so personal about Sidney's weight is horrible.

He's a PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE. His salary is PAID BY THE FANS. Of course we can disparage his weight. If he was able to condition himself and stay focused we wouldn't suffer through his performances every fifth game!

[NeedToFindAWay]

God i love these comebacks...theres no better feeling in the world...now let's keep this lead and win this game.

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Steve Reed, throw strikes, we got 'em on the run.

Well I just logged on to the Hangout, and I gotta say we've got some disgraceful fans. You can be negative, but the way people are so personal about Sidney's weight is horrible. I bet half the people that make those posts are fat-a$$es themselves. Sidney had a bad night...he's had a bunch of good ones, and we've been able to win with him on the mound this year. Is he an ace as many originally had hoped, no, but he's better than the number 3 or 4 guy on most teams, and every now and then he shines (remember 87 pitch complete game shutout verses the yankees?). I'm not saying you shouldn't ever be negative, I'm just saying many of you people seem to enjoy it too much...Oh and by the way for all of you that gave up early on, what team have you been watching this year? We were never out of this, and now we're ahead.

This post sounds like Fatso got off the hook for a loss. The fool needs to condition himself mentally and physically.

Remember? Well sorta.

I actually got booted from Camden Yards that night. I was a little bit too excited, a little bit too vulgar and the beer fairy had paid many a visit to me and my buddies that day.

The cop that took me out actually apologized to me for doing it. He said was pretty fired up too abou the comeback, but that we were just out of control. He was right.

You da man! I would'a gotten booted that night, but unfortunately, I was in St. Simons Island, Georgia, in...a bar. There seems to be a correlation between May 17th, Orioles' wins, and me being in a bar...

[WEAVERMAN]

Nice job Reed, now let's get some more runs.

[Mu'ayyidSaafir]

If Palmeiro drives in another run, he ties Cal for most 9th all-time in the American League.

[BaltiNole]

Nice 7 pitch effort by Reed, now lets keep those contagious bats going!

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon BJ, get it started. We don't want a tough loss. We want a great win.

[Tony-OH]

I don't know why Maz took out Parrish. I think you have to get three innings out of him so you don't burn the bullpen up. I know the game is close, but you just klicked sand in JP's face and now he's going to burn up his bullpen.

[MCL1021]

Gibbons is quietly playing some good ball right now. He's hitting very well.
