vs. TWINS 8/23

[JERSEYORIOLE]

Simon says.... sit down.

[Don Quixote]

Fortunate inning for Simon.

Angle gets back on the ball so he didnt HAVE to make an over the shoulder catch.

I still wouldn't be happy paying 8 million for a DH with those numbers.

I am not happy with what we are paying him either. But these are the Orioles and they have a track record of overpaying for over-the-hill former Allstar players. They pay for the name instead of the numbers.

Even though the Orioles are one of the worst teams in baseball' date=' games like this & yesterday give me a little hope that one day they will be competitive again. Would be great if Reimold can hit a bunch of home runs, Britton can get on a roll, Wieters can improve on his hitting etc.

Seems like it has always been our pitching and situational hitting that has hurt this team over the years. Throw in baserunning too.

Anybody know what would happen if 4 of the 5 games this weekend get rained out due to the Hurricane? Its supposed to rain Friday-Sunday. With it being the Yankees you know they willl need to play the games at some point..

[RavNMadMan]

What is up with Simon and changing his arm angle?

[Roninwarrior]

Simon is on fire tonight:angryfire:

[Oriology]

That last K pitch by Simon was nasty...wish he could harness that.

[Gurgi]

Simon has some gifts. Not awesome but the dude can play up here. Maybe he has a career like Luke Scott. Late bloomer and sticks for four or five years?

Maybe I missed it, but is his legal status for next year determined?

[nate22]

OK Reynolds, you know what to do.

Given that today is the release day for Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I thought I would be like Abe Simpson:

HOWEVER, given the promising score, I think I'm gonna watch the remainder of the game.
