Lew Ford DH?

Lew Ford DH?

I was having the same reaction... if you want to give Davis the day off put Ford in LF, McLouth in CF and Jones as DH (like we did the other night).

You like bad OF defense?

Not sure if serious....

You know that keeps the exact same bats in the lineup, except with an inferior defensive alignment, as waroriole alluded to...right?

A little extra pressure to win this one. Rays win, so we stand to fall two games back of them with a non-win tonight. And that doesn't even matter, because:

A's win, kicking us right outta the WC#2 spot if we don't take down Texas.

I guess the simple answer is just to win the game, and everything will remain the same for another day. Pressure? What pressure?

As long as we don't fall behind by more than five runs, things should work out.

Tillman had a pretty good formula for handling the Rangers last night. Hopefully Hunter was watching and learned something from it.

Lew Ford DH?

Stacking up the rightys.

Waves Hi! I'm new here, been lurking for awhile. Been an O's fan since I was born (1979). This is probably one of my favorite years. Haven't even gotten into Football because the O's are

just so much fun to watch!

Hopefully we take this rubber match tonight, sadly, TB won

[Don Quixote]

That's cool.

[Big#3fan]

Nice! Nick with the Baltimore Chop!

[Don Quixote]

Of F-ing course.

[Pedro Cerrano]

I mean it's never gonna happen but get him the hell out of the 2 hole.

The re-emergence of Nick has been one of the great pleasures of this season.
