Look at this play, how the Yanks took the lead, I think he was out.

Only Houston.

Filth!

We don't have enough pitching or hitting, DD better get a quick start this off season fixing this team.

Psst... this isn't the roster at full strength.

...or perhaps you're not talking about the game designated for this thread?

Stinkees up 2-1 after 8 in Houston. Please let's show them that they are NOT a better team than us this season. It would kill me to finish 4th in the division--and behind the Stinkees. Definitely worse than the worst scenario I could have imagined at the biginning of the season...

You mean your not "happy" about the season? Who could be happy about how this season is ending and fact that the Orioles have played .500 ball for 4 months.

KG got this.

Yeah it looks like he was really out. Bummer.

There was a period, not long ago, where .500 for four months would be cause for celebration.

...and it still is for me.

We almost never win on Saturday at home, almost never.

I remember the last Saturday night of the season in 1985. A week or two before, my beloved 1971 Dodge Dart had caught fire and died an untimely death in the parking lot at the high school on the hill across the street from Memorial Stadium. Gas line must have leaked or something. They had to close the lot as people were pouring in for a Yankee game and call in the Baltimore fire department. I had spent $250 for htat Dart in high school and we spent 3 wonderful years together.

So that next week I bought a piece of crap Ford Fairmont so I could get back and forth to college and work. Never liked that piece of junk.

The last Saturday of the season I was bored, my roommates were doing something else, so I went to the O's game by myself in my new Fairmont. It didn't catch fire (I figure I never need to carry a fire extinguisher in the car because the odds of that happening to someone twice are infinitesimally small... so far, 28 years later, that strategy has worked fine).

And I saw the O's win on a walkoff home run by Gary Roenicke.

So I contend that it IS possible for hte O's to win at home on Saturday night on the next to last day of the season.

What a joke of a play.

They say when you can show a pitch like that slider. As a prospect, you own it.

Matt on!

Call me spoiled.

Where does that "happy" in quotation marks come from? The word doesn't even appear in my original message. I'm not unhappy about our season so far--I think in terms of W-L, it was decent.... disappointing but decent. However, finishing 4th behind the Stinkees, regrardless of our W-L record,would definitely leave a sour taste in my mind.
