Baltimore Orioles @ Tampa Bay Devil Rays 5/23/2008

[HeyIt'sMe]

Upton's power has been a huge bust so far this season. He had 24 in 450 ABs last year.

Markakis is missing pitches right down the gut tonight

[ilovetheos]

fair-weathered fans tonight?

fair-weathered fans tonight?

Just bored to tears by this offense.

[ilovetheos]

well there's a double by Millar, let's see if we can break this curse.:wedge:

[ilovetheos]

guess not...well might be time to give it a break and see if that helps, NBA playoffs are coming on.

It sucks when you're down by 1 and still feel really bad about the game.

Our O is just dreadful. If we lose this by 1, we gotta look back to the lead-off triple.

But we're not gonna lose guys.

We're gonna score.

C'MON!

[ilovetheos]

there has to be some better offense in the minors, we need some life in our lineup right now that Roberts and Markakis are not giving us. How do you go from 12 runs to struggling to get 1 run?

[Ozone]

Prediction: Adam Jones will be the hero with a HR to give us the win.

Oh yeah? When exactly is that going to happen. We've scored 1 run in the last 25 innings. The offense is just putrid. Which really sucks when you get starting pitching like we have been getting.

C'mon man, don't be so pessmistic. Keep optimism. Keep thinking "We're gonna score" and it may happen

I would love to be optimistic. However, nobody in our lineup is hitting at the moment. It's like the entire team went in to a slump all at the same time.

[Ozone]

Other than Boom Boom, there is no one in the lineup hitting above .260. Whew, that is awful!

You know, it's funny... in the 12-2 game... I mentioned around 9 runs that my grandfather ALWAYS used to say "Don't score all your runs in one game". His wisdom lives on... because yup... we've score 1 in 3 games since then.

Still... we can scratch together one... I believe we can. Maybe even 2.

Man...what happened?
