vs. Astros 8/1 (with Bud Norris, pitching for the Orioles)

[OFFNY]

Yeah' date=' I think the thing is were playing horrible, and doing it so far starting this series against bad teams. And we have this 17 game stretch against weak teams. And if we don't take advantage of that we are in big time trouble because our schedule after that is absolutely brutal. So there is some urgency.[/quote']

There's some urgency. Implying that the playoffs are out of the question and/or that we should just fold up now and forget about it because we're one game behind the Indians with 54 games left to play (53 after tonight) is absurd.

[ExileAngelos]

SOS our season!!!

[NickM21]

You do remember we won the day before yesterday, right?

Yea in a game where we had an amazing two runners in scoring position the whole game.

[LA2]

Hardy, Manny, Matt all look tired and defeated. I know Buck hates to do this but we shd give each of them a break--not just physically, but to let them sit back to watch the game and gain perspective. Just like Urrutia, Casilla and Flaherty could give us a fresh spark and Teagarden handles pitchers well.

[WEAVERMAN]

It's a funny game, you'd expect the Orioles to break out after the shutout, especially against HOU, but it's not happening.

[O's84]

Finally a break. Just can't screw this up now, need runs.

[Surhoffan17]

That's what we call a break!

[notyourbuddy]

Astros defense so bad. :rofl:

[MDK02]

Ohhhh yeaaaaaa. Lets go!!!

[blid]

Nice job by Henry hustling to third base.

[Moose Milligan]

First and third, one out. Let's see how we boof the pooch on this one.

[erb8472]

Need. To cash in here.

[dtk9119]

Now that's the Astros I know and love.

[cmurter]

[eddie83]

Please get at least one run here, nice hustle by the SS, didn't even go after it.
