vs. ATHLETICS, 8/05

[JR Oriole]

I guess winning one out of three should have been expected given our history here. Disgusting.

Do we ever win series in this place? It doesn't matter how many no name scrubs the As have on their team, they will always take care of us without much trouble. I have to see what our record is here over the last 20 years but the winning percentage might be around .300.

I like the Joseph dude.

Chen should go kiss his butt...

This team is just underachieving badly. If their pitching well they cant hit' date=' if their hitting well they can't pitch.[/quote']

No one wants to hear me say it again, but we should have been sellers. We had a chance to set ourselves up nicely for the near future. Retool, not rebuild. This team has been inconsistent all year and there was no reason to believe it was going to suddenly become consistently good. Instead we sent away one of of our penitential cheap nuggets for a two-month rental who will probably sign with another AL East team this offseason and come back to bite us next year.

Im sure you'll see another Chen melt down in the dugout, but this is all on him.No one else.

Agreed. You can tell by his body language that he's ticked at the strike zone, but you need to keep your head in the game.

Is there something funny or enjoyable about watching the Orioles lose?

More an irritation laugh than anything. When it rains it pours....unfortunately it is pouring on the Orioles at this point in the game.

If Chen can hold them at 3 then they should have a good chance to win. The problem is that the offense has now been completely terrible in 3 of the last 4 games. They need to step it up.

Yea he knows Boras will chew him out for decreasing the asking price with each pitch this game.

I agree with this entirely.I thought this team had probably already given away too many games they should have won in the 1st half. Given the farm system and all the FA I think a retool was the best way to go but now since were didn't do that I just want them to win.

WAS THAT Schoop's BAD knee?? HE went down like a ton of bricks??

If only they had the bats to out slug the juggernaut that is the Oakland A's

This is so freaking depressing.

This umpire is awful.
