vs. CUBS, 8/24

[O's84]

I apologize for this but you guys are ridiculous calling this team dead when they'll still be what, 6 games up if they lose this game and NYY wins.

[eddie83]

Just don't get that pitch to Rizzo, if Wieters was catching he would be getting ripped.

[El Gordo]

2 runs might as well be 10 today.

If he was on his second contract I'd be a little more bent about it. I don't have much of a problem with it now. I also don't begrudge a kid in his early 20's the chance to make a poor decision or two. I think the implication that he's doing something illegal is unseemly.

He listens to folks who do not have the Orioles best interests at heart. His friends are not Orioles.

It might be time for Buck to find an excuse to go nuclear on somebody. He needs to do something to wake these $%$ hitters up.

The Orioles won't get no-hit. They'll score a meaningless run in the eighth and lose 4-1 or something.

They have thrown a lot of those this series, although some of them might be due to control issues.

[allquixotic]

Course the fact he more than a year removed from his TJ surgery has something to do with it.

If anything it just confirms that DD was right about the kid....he can pitch ...bad luck he spent his time with us injured

How much bad luck can we stand? How much bad luck are we going to get before the baseball gods decide that enough is enough? Do we really have to be the laughing stock of all of baseball until my grandkids are 60? Who knows, MLB might not even be around by then if online eSports take over or whatever. This is starting to feel like the Red Sox's "Curse of the Bambino". Except that, rather than one fateful move, we made a series of poor moves that collectively hamstrung us. And since we don't have an unlimited budget like LA and NY, we can't simply buy our way to a World Series, we have to trade value to get value.

Right when it looks like things are finally going good, when victory is within our grasp, one of the "worst" teams in baseball uses our own bad-luck cursed players to utterly stomp us. You couldn't write the script better for the Yanks to send Jeter to the world series this year.

[El Gordo]

I've had enough of this crap team I'm watching TB/TOR, there's at least some hope there.

[O's84]

That's a fake 6 games if I ever saw em. Gonna evaporate in a hurry.

They'll be fine, they have an easy schedule and even though their losing this series against a bad team **** happens. The one thing we know about this team is they don't go on long losing streaks.

Wow your fastly approaching Birdbrain and Jonesy territory.

I have never heard anyone say that Manny was a PED user. I do know that he admires a guy who I find despicable.

Jeter GIDP. Clutch AB!

Base was open, ahead in the count bury the pitch.

Extra baseball in the Bronx, tied 4-4
