There are posters on this board who consider EVERY loss a "season changer type." They all still count as 1.

I am not a doom and gloom type. I can get frustrated but we are in a unique part of the schedule.

I love watching Mauer hit.   He's a true pro.  

Yeah,doesn't get cocky.Also like Longoria.He hits a homer and does not take an hour or point in the stands and then points to god.

Both Crichton and Duffey throwing some mean looking curve balls.  

That wasn't one of them.

Great play by Davis there.

So says EVERYONE just about every game, every season, except for the ~3-4 games he's "Good Ubaldo" in and the ~5 games he's "Okay Ubaldo" in. The rest of the time, it's blindingly obvious to everyone but Buck and DD that he needs to have been gone 2 years ago.

The problem is that this team hates releasing players with multiple years remaining on their contract no matter how poor their performance is. PA absolutely loathes eating money. The only player I can remember the Orioles releasing with multiple years remaining on their contract was Jay Gibbons and his contract was a fraction of what Ubaldo's. They were never going to release Ubaldo before this year no matter how bad he was.

Tyler wilson is not good...and is NOT a major league pitcher...

At this point that's true.

Sir Sidney.

Of course they tried to get out of paying him.

At this point, holding onto Ubaldo is the equivalent of Elaine Benes wanting the free Atomic Sub, despite her claiming it tastes terrible, from the "Serenity Now" episode.

Spot on observation.  O's pitching staff has a bad case of food poisoning right now.

I hate watching Hunter and Bordick in games like this.

Crichton's running out of gas, but the Twins are helping him out a bit.

Too bad the Orioles chose Wilson when it was 6-4.

Ubaldo does not have multiple years left.  Just the rest of this year.
