Orioles in 1st place

[flyhighbirds]

Funny how when we lose there are a lot of angry posts. When we win people in here don't have much to say. That was a big win for

us. The red sox were probably thinking they are going to make a big second half run but we held them off.

Now Toronto knows how we felt a couple weeks ago.

This was going to be a tough series no matter what. DC can pitch like no one else, the key is keeping their offense in check. Tillman did, Norris did not.

I would like to see the Orioles win tonight, but let us not forget that DC is a very very good team and I don't think we match up particularly well against them.

Jays just lost Lind for 6-8 weeks. TIME TO STRIKE.

So. Reimold their clean up hitter?

Bet they are sure happy they spent that 500K.

364/417/636/1053

Higher rWAR then Schoop or Flaherty already.

[Can_of_corn]

Lol. I'm sure they are extremely happy with those 11 AB.

With the recent injuries on offense you don't think the Jays are tickled pink that Nolan fell into their laps for 500K?

[weams]

No I absolutely think they are tickled pink. Of course.

They had no real way of knowing if it would work out - so far so good/lucky.

If he could only have played second. Or caught.

[Can_of_corn]

If only the O's carried a right handed bat on the bench...

[weams]

Nolan needs to start to be any good. We know this.

We know this. I am perfectly ok with replacing Delmon with someone who plays regularly and is better.

[Can_of_corn]

Nolan needs to start to be any good. We know this.

We know this.

I don't.

He had, shall we say, other issues going on at the time.

Like Young? Or Pearce? Hey, what about Hundley? (you didn't say the bat had to be good).

Regardless, I hope the woe-is-Nolan commentary doesn't peter out when he's hitting .230 and/or injured by the middle of August.

Depends on what Young is doing.
