Let's go O's! Keep it up.

[J.D.]

I'd rather see Jones hitting above Hernandez, but meh. Whatever.

[Pushmonkey]

Cinton!!!!! will hit another game winner--you heard it here first.

[PrivateO]

I'm glad Cintron is getting a chance to play (hopefully he can impress).

I really hope that Trembley gives Salazar moe chances. Millar could use some rest, and Salazar has been pretty well up at the plate. (I still loved that home run against the Pirates)

[mrbig1]

My main man Guthrie is going tonight. I hope he can give us 6 or 7 good innings.

[J.D.]

Cinton!!!!! will hit another game winner--you heard it here first.

I'd say that Ramon's going to do it... but I'm not at the game.

[J.D.]

That was efficient! Good job Guts!

Now, I wonder if we can actually score runs for him tonight? Maybe? Pretty please? I bet he'd REALLY like it.

[Pushmonkey]

How embarrassing for Tejada grounding out to Cintron, his arm almost fell off and still got him out. That was a quite and quick top of teh first.

[Pushmonkey]

poorly made bat gets BRob out.

[zff4]

it simply rains doubles this year

[J.D.]

That looked like a double before Markakis ever hit it. What an awful pitch by Moehler.

[Pushmonkey]

Markakis killed a ball to the right field gap...then trotted in to second.

[Pushmonkey]

Wiggington holds Markakis on second and throws out Mora.

[The Rick]

Markakis advances to third on the WP to Huff.

[Pushmonkey]

Wild pitch moves Markakis to third.....Huff walks 1st and 3rd 2 outs.
