vs. BLUE JAYS, 8/05

[Teddy OBP]

You WENT to the 30-3 game? I've basically replaced my memory of that game with a five hour looped recording of Homer Simpson humming the Baby Elephant Walk.

I'm kind of pissed that game happened. I was at 4/19/96 and assumed I'd seen some enduring history.

Okay 7 K's and 6 walks tonight.

My theroy is after the last 3 weeks, the Orioles see these pitchers and are like, "Why are these pitchers throwing softballs?!

I stayed for the second game too.

My father and I got lunch at the Camden Club in the Brian Burres inning which if I recall was double digit runs, or close. Anyway we left our seats and returned in the same inning. The Camden Club was a sit-down restaurant. I mean damn.

Your avatar looks happy.

Remember when my avatar was Brian? I have bad luck in avatars. LOL

Defensive indifference on the stolen base by Schoop.

The Blue Jays are only down by 4.

That run means nothing to them.

Are we stealing signs?

Hah no idea. I think it's helped that they stopped playing AL West teams. But to be honest, I was at the game on Saturday night and although they lost 6-3, I felt I was seeing signs of improvement even if the team

ended up winning with only one run the next afternoon.

Brian Burres. Now there's a name i haven't heard in a while. I fortunately haven't been at too many humilating losses. I was at the 2012 ALDS Game 1 which while it had a tough ending was awesome since it was the

first home playoff game in 15 years.

So I'm listening to this commercial.. what is a "cheese technologist?"

My nightmare was on the road. I was taunted by conservatively 1500 people at one time...several times during the game.
