Jason Vargas AL pitcher of the month for July vs. Birds of Prey

[Malike]

Some people on this board have been pretty hard on Nick. He is a pretty good player and maybe he puts less pressure on himself batting lead off then he did when he batted in the 3 hole.

He was pretty bad before he had his surgery. Since, he's literally been, on fire.

Ben McDonald on the radio with Manfra. Love me some Ben McD.

Me too, but I love me some Joe Angel a bit more.

I believe, at some point, Tillman will toss a no-hitter. He's certainly got no-hit stuff, when he's on.

He has already. In AAA against Braves affiliate.

[scOtt]

Sick pitch there.

I believe, at some point, Tillman will toss a no-hitter. He's certainly got no-hit stuff, when he's on.

He tossed one in the Minors in 2009, I think. Just a matter of time before he gets that same stuff in the bigs.

River Dancing, Lew Ford.

Now I understand what Flaherty used to do out there--it was in his blood.

That's unhealthy

Batting Practice Porn?

He was fifthy that evening.

.

The Yankess had runners on first and 3rd with 1 out in the top of the 3rd inning.

Granderson strike out.

Jeter Ground out.

1-0 Tigers after 3 complete innings.

Mike Bodrick showing off his facility for giving nicknames. First, you had "Taylor Teagardner", now you have Adam "The Separator" Jones!

[Malike]

He has already. In AAA against Braves affiliate.

I mean where it really counts.

[caesarod]

Matt made him work for it, though.

Ben McDonald is raving about Gausman. Says the SEC is the equivalent of AA.

Hey guys, I figured out the "workaround" to avoid superstitious no-no territory (also known as BAD LUCK).

It's baseball time. It's also dinner time. Your tummy is growling and your favorite meats or pastas are already cooking. :slytf:

But, like a responsible Hangouter, you know that GOING AWAY FROM THE GAME TO EAT is a huge no-no and frequently results in the game completely getting away from the O's while you're gone, as if fate enjoys mocking your absence by making you ask, "What the hell happened??????" when you return. :angryfire:

So clearly some solution is needed so that we can fill our bellies at 7pm dinner time without imploding the team and letting all your buddies down. :scratchchinhmm:

The solution?

Take your smartphone with you to the dinner table, and listen to the radio broadcast on MLB At Bat! :smile11:

I'm fresh back from dinner after having flied in the face of superstition by eating PASTA promptly at 7:15pm... immediately after hearing the first few minutes of the game and going "Wow, Tillman is on fire!"

And as fate would have it, my tummy is full and The O's are still winning! :clap3:

Could I have found a "hack" around the baseball gods' whims, or are they going to punish me with their wrath later in the game? :scratchchinhmm:
