vs. Yankees 9/1

[TouchemAll]

Nicky your a popup MACHINE :slytf:

[Norfolk orioles]

Markakis is a joke.

And buck batting him lead off is the biggest joke of all.

He proves more and more daily why he's an overrated gameday manager.

[tntoriole]

Pettite is so mechanically sound. His motion is relentlessly the same no matter the pitch. And Nick should have been bunting as lousy a hitter as he is these days.

[LA2]

Hold down Wei until we score. And then, keep it that way.

Hold *them* down, Wei!

[Norfolk orioles]

Yes, it was. I wonder if he's better in left than in rightfield. How is his arm?

You know, we have a pretty fierce lineup vs. southpaws and I like that it pushes Wieters down to the 7 slot, although trying to keep a semblance of the alternating lefty-righty capability, he bats him higher than Hardy, who really shd be hitting higher than 8th.

Morse has an absolute cannon arm.

[Norfolk orioles]

Completely and totally over this season.

[Jonesy10]

Are you kidding me Markakis? Why don't you actually do something good for once? We have 2 of the worst hitters in the league in our lineup in Nick and Wieters. Two anchors that just ruin every opportunity.

Nick has been Cesar Izturis-like and Wieters is the worst catcher in the MLB out of all qualified catchers (WAR).

[MDK02]

There is no good this team can do. Pitchers gotta love throwing to these batters.

[tntoriole]

Great against the 52 year old!

[BrandonGMU]

Shane we couldn't dump Nick's terrible contract on waivers. Also, they could really benefit from a new hitting coach next season.

[Ori-Al]

Manny fails. Jones swings at garbage, as usual.

[Rex Thunder]

Was in a good mood today when I woke up- why did I decide to watch the O's game again?? This is getting so old, and yet I refuse to learn my lesson.

[tntoriole]

Shane we couldn't dump Nick's terrible contract on waivers. Also, they could really benefit from a new hitting coach next season.

And new pitching coach. Bring Peterson up.

[Jonesy10]

Exactly. They have a good game twice a week then are absolutely dreadful the other games. There's no in between. They either win the game for us or are so terrible that we have no shot at winning. Hence the 1st 2 Red Sox games, 2nd OAK game, 1st 2 TB games, yesterday, today...
