O's @ Jays 7/9/2008

[Sanfran327]

Yeah. Some teams allow their SS to get base hits. Weird...

Well, I'm no GM, but I have to say... that is quite a concept.

[J.D.]

I don't know what a reed is. If it's something that hurts to be beaten with, then your punishment is fine as well.

It's pretty standard, really.

[Dr. FLK]

If that shortstop wasn't David Eckstein, I'd really want the Orioles to go after him.

I'd take him over ours.

Wasn't that ball 4 pitch in the same place as the called strike 3 to Millar?

[Dr. FLK]

How many times is Demper going to tell us that giving up more runs when you're already losing is bad?

[Sanfran327]

You know how when the Skankees put Rivera in and people say that you've shortened it to 8 innings?

wait for it...

That's what happens to us when we put in Aquino.

[J.D.]

I'd take him over ours.

I wouldn't. Not in a million years. Not being 33, making $4.5M a year, and committing 20 errors a year at SS.

Wasn't that ball 4 pitch in the same place as the called strike 3 to Millar?

Yes. Yes it was. It's not enough for the ump to screw us with plays at the plate. He has to have that funky strike zone thing going, too.

[McNulty]

"Why don't you go sit down?"

"No I'm not gonna go sit down because YOU'RE A HUGE DORK!"

Shoulda started Wegman...

[The Wedge]

How many times is Demper going to tell us that giving up more runs when you're already losing is bad?

Probably in some sort of ratio to how many times he name/family checks Zaun.

That's what happens to us when we put in Aquino.

So if we're losing and put in Aquino, the game is over...meaning the other team wins because we give up runs? Does that make him the Bizzaro-Mo?

[The Wedge]

Yes. Yes it was. It's not enough for the ump to screw us with plays at the plate. He has to have that funky strike zone thing going, too.

Wolfe obviously has a date tonight.

[jamessemaj]

Early in the season they showed that he tends to argue between innings more than during, unless the player is getting in to it with the ump...then he'll go protect the player if he can.

I see. Not sure if I agree with that philosophy, but I understand.

[olehippi]

It will be impossible for the Orioles to win when it's the Blue Jays and the Umpires against the Orioles.....

[J.D.]

Wolfe obviously has a date tonight.

With a Blue Jays fan.

[The Wedge]

Shoulda started Wegman...

"...and Mac? The horse's name is Friday."

[Dr. FLK]

I wouldn't. Not in a million years. Not being 33, making $4.5M a year, and committing 20 errors a year at SS.

Yes. Yes it was. It's not enough for the ump to screw us with plays at the plate. He has to have that funky strike zone thing going, too.

He made 20 one time. He's had more seasons in the single digits. He ain't great, but he's better than not having a SS. LH makes 20+ in the minors and many here consider him gold glove caliber.
