vs. CUBS, 8/24

[OFFNY]

I'm ready for Flaherty to be the regular third baseman unless they go get somebody.

Not having a DH this series kind of forced our hand.

Maybe the Orioles can put Flaherty at 3rd base, and have either Chris Davis or Delmon Young at DH when they get back to playing in American League stadiums.

Perhaps Young can bat 5th, or Davis could bat 7th or 8th.

Good year for BuckB.

Thorne and Palmer are really good. They know that Wada's stuff is nothing special. You just know that Hunter and Bordick would be making excuses and talking about how tricky all those fastballs in the middle of the plate are.

Gosh darn it.

[scOtt]

I know how we look so far but that's only one.

[Jonesy10]

hES GOT A NO HITTER THRU 5. This is ridiculous. RIDICULOUS.

What is that twice in 3 games? Wada is 1-1 and the O's are 0-15. Pretty freaking sad. This offense has been terrible for the majority of the road trip. Need to show some signs of life. Getting swept by this garabage team is unacceptable.

[WEAVERMAN]

Please Miguel, continue to throw strikes and pitch well, we need this game.

[allquixotic]

Big bad Cubs! What a team! Can we emulate them?

They play like they have the best record in baseball, with half our guys from 2011-2013, just to rub it in our faces.

The baseball gods hate us.

We may never win a game again.

[Reboulet'sStache]

Just freaking pitiful.This guy has 3 HR's all year.

That was a pretty horrible pitch.

[Morgan423]

I know how we look so far but that's only one.

Indeed. Don't have to do a lot to overcome that.

I disagree.

[Babkins]

I'm developing a Yankees- and Red Sox-level hatred of the Cubs.

[scOtt]

I wonder who the Cubs will end up playing in the first round.

PS3.

[WEAVERMAN]

MG is not going to be perfect, get the 3rd out, and we'll get an offense going.

[allquixotic]

Who'd have thought the CUBS of all teams would be the reason why the Orioles don't make the playoffs in 2014.

They'll be so shattered from this series that they won't have a chance of sniffing .500 the rest of the way. Unbelievable.
