Came in from yard work. Turn on the game to find we're down 6-0 with only one hit. Hard to be a O's fan.

How was the yard work?

Good pick up.  Joe seems like a very spontaneous guy with a great sense of humor.  Hunter combines the sincerity of a used car salesman/Top 40 radio guy with a megadose of sycophancy.   Joe was right to disdain him, particularly since Hunter was the guy who Angelos elevated at the expense of the great Jon Miller.

I had forgotten about Hunter's battlefield promotion.

Bartolo Colon will start for the Twins vs the Yankees Tuesday.   Too bad he misses Sabathia by a couple days, that matchup might have set some sort of record.

At some point, Jumbo Diaz will have to be set up to relieve one of them.

Hunter replaced Miller. I would not blame Jim for that. 

My point being Hunter's first year was 97, he was not here when Miller was.

Yeah, wasn't he doing national broadcasts? My memory is fuzzy. Speaking of which, when did Joe leave the first time...or was it the second time? Anyway, I agree I don't think Joe dislikes Hunter because he took Miller's job.

Now 10.

When he stops reciting stats, Hunter sometimes has interesting things to say....well at least relative to his stats.

Hunter was doing National CBS radio games. I actually remember him.

Joe left in 91, went to Yankees. Ken Levine came in 91, remember him? Joe came back in 92 and then in 93 went to the expansion Marlins.

Bullpen has been very good this weekend.

Schoop has the arm strength for SS.......

[Mayor McCheese]

You really think the Orioles will DFA Jimenez?!??

Angelos won't allow that... his mind frame is that if he is paying him then he will play.

Maybe a demotion to the pen but he will still be an Orioles until the end of the season.

Yes. Hope someone can replace Givens next year after he replaces Zach.

I can't believe this team went 22-10 at one point.
