vs. ANGELS, 8/08

Eh, I meant that was just a bad play by Schoop. You gotta touch the plate. Not that hard. Just too many mistakes.

I thought he slid too soon. Palmer said too late. Either way it was mistimed.

[Jonesy10]

I'm still going with the starting pitching.

They've been bad lately. But there's also a reason they're under performing their Pythagorean record by so much.

Bad mojo? Maybe. I do not know. I think we are a dumb team made up with dumb players.

Same team minus Cruz and Markakis. Cruz wasn't necessarily the smartest player. He was awful in the field and a bad base runner.

Note to minor leaguers aspiring to the majors...if you can't hit, then get multiple gloves in your locker.

[scOtt]

I didn't know that Gary.

KKKKKKK

3 outs

U-man looking good!

[eddie83]

Unless the Angels had a better angle I don't see how they overturned that.

[33rdst]

You're in a pennant race. Keep your head in the game and touch the plate. Maybe he was anxious to get over to the dugout and do his hand routine with Manny.

[scOtt]

I lied earlier...

In his only start against the Angels this season, Jimenez allowed two runs and eight hits over seven innings, with no walks and six strikeouts, in a 6-1 loss on May 16. He's 0-5 with a 5.34 ERA in five career starts against the Angels and 0-2 with a 9.82 ERA in two starts in Anaheim, with 12 runs and 15 hits allowed in 11 innings.

What west coast team is it that he owns?

League office keepin' the Orioles down!
