The Cleveland Series

[MagicBird]

Nick Swisher is still just as annoying as when he was with the MFY. That stupid grin of his, especially when he is at bat.

This is a guy that you love to hate, and its so easy to.

[Tx Oriole]

Sorry but they wont beat Masterson today. In some ways he may be the toughest pitcher the Orioles face or have faced this year. Nearly unhittable.

Thats not reverse jinx stuff, Buck says so too.On to game 2.

Reverse jinx must be back in working order. O's win.

[SteveA]

Clearly a double reverse jinx with him stating it's not a reverse jinx.

What's next from Roy, a flea-flicker?

[Frobby]

Good start to the series. Cleveland's offense is struggling right now, and Norris took advantage.

[Three Run Homer]

Roy was right--we didn't beat Masterson today!

Actually, we did beat Masterson today.

When Masterson left the game, he was responsible for the runner that he put on first base (who eventually scored), so he got the L.

Some powerful mojo...

The best. Especially when he is sincere.

Well, he was 0-for-4 with a strikeout today (plus, his team lost the game), so he didn't have much to grin about on this day.

He's annoying regardless of the situation, though.

When he struck out in the first inning, he was barking at the umpire after the called 3rd strike. Even the Indians' announcers said that the pitch was RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE (which was confirmed by the pitch-tracker), and that they had no idea what the hell he was complaining about.

Yes I agree. Roy was not kidding around there. Powerful stuff....

Same ole Swisher.

At the risk of sounding like Roy, I'll just note that since May 27, Ubaldo Jiminez has a 2.98 ERA. He has struck out 28 batters in his last three starts, spanning only 18.2 IP. He tends to throw a lot of pitches, which leads to some early exits, so I hope the Orioles display some patience against him tonight.

He hasn't pitched more than 7 innings since July 28th. Need to get to him early, and don't let him get into a groove. I do feel a sweep coming on here. Cleveland looks like they're just going through the motions, instead of fighting for a playoff spot.

I like us to homer off him. He's a hard throwing righty. Seems like Davis's cup of tea for a monster bomb.

Now that I've said that, let's look how various O's have fared against him:

Tried to post in here as an image, didn't work so well. Here are the Orioles-Jiminez numbers:

I have a feeling we are going to sweep Cleveland, and whip them today. If we lose today, I will never post again. You have my word on that.

Damnit, of all the games we could have won, we picked yesterday...
