He needs a haircut, fast. Good debut.

That's what was said about these guys when they came to the States in 1964:

I believe his change up is a splitter and not a change from one replay they showed in the game today.

Yes, he would.

And that's what I'm saying.

"Needing a haircut" is relative.

The Beatles were looked upon by many as guys that were long overdue for one when that picture was taken. They kept it "long", in spite of the requests that they not do so.

He can keep his hair as long as he keeps striking out Joey Bathroom.

Orioles Find New Reliever Ondrusek in Most Unlikely Place

I have to admit, when the O's took a one-run lead and I saw that Ondrusek was likely to pitch the bottom of the 12th, I was really nervous about it. Jones' HR was huge.

I can't tell about Ondrusek yet. Hopefully he can settle in and do a decent job. I'm a little unclear who is in the bullpen now, with the addition of Miley.

Roch says they will keep us waiting with the off day. I am guessing Despaigne goes down as he has done nothing lately to demand the spot, but could also be Wilson. Or maybe they will once and for all get rid of Ubaldo. The fact that they acquired a starter with another year under contract suggests that they have already made that determination.

Supposedly Ondrusek can also be optioned but seems they want to give him a look.

It could be 2 of the 3 - or 2 in general. The bench is down to 3 men.

I'd be a little surprised if they keep Ubaldo and go to a seven man pen.

There seemed to be a question on whether Ondrusek has an option. Roch answers that today in his blog.

"Logan Ondrusek has a minor league option,"

obviously he's juicing.

That is very good to hear, but a poster on the OH had that news three days ago.

Indeed. Reps to that man.
