Did airport security confiscate his goo?

How do we keep giving up homeruns to guys who have absolutely no business hitting homeruns. We cant lose to the Lastros...jesus christ

[O's84]

Yeah, about that...

Yeah yeesssssssh. Paging Steve Johnson, paging Steve Johson.

[Malike]

I'm speaking lately, the whole winning a lot of games for the past week. Everyone takes them lightly, eventually, they're going to win 60 games or so.

[O's84]

What a difference a start makes, from Brilliant to godawful.

Yeah well the Astro's pitching is worse than ours and our offense looks terrible.

[Flash- bd]

How come, if I may? Not your style or something specific about them?

Nah, I mean, definetely not to do with style, I listen to plenty of indie rock, I just don't find their music particularly good, it seems he's always trying to awkwardly fit the lyrics/ (grandiose) story he wants to tell rather than just making proper music, or at least having an idea of how to make the two compliment eachother the way the best folk artists do. In short, I just don't think they are very good musically, I have a hard time making it through 3 songs on an album before wanting to turn it off. But now that I think of it I don't really like The National or Titus Andronicius--though I quite like Okkervil River--so maybe it is a bit to do with style.

Anyways, as Freddy gives up another HR, and we are in need of something...anything, I propose this as far more befitting of the true pomp and grandeur of Danny Valencia:

Evidently the O's need to hire Joe Orsulak as an advance scout.

[ConnO'sFan]

Matt is solid

[Jonesy10]

So why is Garcia still in? Any other manager and he's out already.

[Ommaculate]

Garcia' date=' it's lock down time. Settle in and the offense will pick you up, we got the top of the order coming up.[/quote']

The only thing Garcia is locking down is a one way ticket out of BWI.

So clever.. and not offensive at all...

[elextrano8]

Odd throw from MW, but the commandment stands:

[Il BuonO]

Homerun derby.

Who would of thought Garcia and not Davis in the HR Derby?

/shrug 3 of those wins last week came against the Angels. They certainly have played well against them.
