Ugh! Losing is worse than being an anteater that's allergic to ants.

What a player Matt Joyce has been for them.

This thread is dead because the Orioles have no chance tonight to win. Guthrie still has a gopher ball to throw and they won't score on Price.

How does this jive with your thumbs up remain positive nonsense?

[SammyBirdland]

Are we seriously not going to score a run for Guthrie?

[Remember The Alomar]

YONDER ALONSO, COME ON DOWN!!!!

Bag full of sighs...

I maintain that Guts doesn't have the stuff he's had in past years. This is definitely a bad season for him. Sure, he doesn't get much run support, but his ERA is way too high to call him the staff "ace". Arrieta's performance last night against the same team as tonight makes Guts look like a little league pitcher.

[MikeAD]

Even Kotchman comes to the party!

[MikeAD]

I hope Connor told him to throw better pitches..

[battlefeverjnb]

Connor said, "You blow." and turned around and walked back to the dugout. At least that's what I would have done.

Lolwut. Of course Guthrie isn't an ace, but this reasoning is specious.

[SammyBirdland]

Guthrie should know better. He needs to give up no more than negative one runs if he wants to get the win.

[Redgrape]

Wow we got lucky there. Andino was off the bag, shouldnt have even went for that double play.

[battlefeverjnb]

Andino just couldn't stuff it in there for the DP. Should have spit on it to help the oomph.

The other "ace" he ends up matching up against doesn't seem to ever give up any runs.
