vs. Yankees 6 20

[Ori-Al]

Let's win tonight.

He is unable to cut out the walks. He requires a mature umpire to succeed.

By mature do you mean one with bad eyesight?

[weams]

Whenever TV announcers say precisely the same thing I've been saying for weeks (i.e., Ubaldo depends on getting swings on "bad balls," and he hasn't been getting them so far) it worries me. Because most TV people are idiots.

Brace yourselves, gentlemen. I might be an idiot.

But then...I like Thorne and Palmer a lot. But then...I might be an idiot. But then...

The broken scoreboard here is enormous.

[scOtt]

There's a pretty O's fan.

Or one that does not need to make himself a centerpiece.

[Flash- bd]

Beat the Bronx Bollox!

I am gonna hate it if we lose. But I am not going through the night predicting failure. I've seen us beat this team.

In honor of tonight's opponent, I have settled down on my front porch with a rather well crafted (if I do say so myself) Manhattan.

Just flew in from Seattle and boy are my arms tire. O's fan in Portland and Seattle. We are O's nation.

[Can_of_corn]

Lets have intelligent at bats tonight for a change.

That would just confuse the boys.

2 pitches into the game and they are chanting already? what about?

I like Ubaldo, and I think he's gotten some pretty tight strike zones in his worst games (maybe it's kind of like a guy who has a reputation for getting into foul trouble in basketball...the umpires expect control problems, control problems ensue). Regardless, with his stuff, I don't think it takes a significant increase in command to result in much better games overall (along with those much needed swings/misses outside the zone).

Wrong borough. You need to drink a Bronx.

Whatever that is.

All I know is you start with a dirty glass.

I don't know if this is the case now, but the bleacher bums will chant players names until they acknowledge them.
