I see it’s 83 degrees in Baltimore. I wish that’s what it was here. It’s already 90. Astros will be hard to beat. They’re are a good team. O’s got to be on the ball.

OK, we're facing the pitcher who leads the majors in home runs allowed, so we should have a good shot today.   Let's go Wojo and the O's!

Hunter just said "The Astros go 3 up and 3 down in the 1st inning."

 

I hear the words, write them down, stare at them... no understanding comes.

Been very nice here for several days. Low 80's, LOW humidity, nice breeze. More hot and humid coming tomorrow or Tuesday I hear.

It's Verlander. We're doomed. DOOMED I tells ya!

OOO man! Pretty blond with the sunglasses. Behind the RH batter when he steps out.

[scOtt]

Mancini! Just hits it WHEREVER it's pitched. Honey badger doesn't give a youknowwhat.

[scOtt]

Hunter and Ben SHUT UP!!!! Spouting all of Verlander's unreal stats. Making me depressed.

[scOtt]

All that and this too.

It's gud ta be da King!

[Moose Milligan]

Who's leg does atomic have to hump to get Thorne on this broadcast?

[scOtt]

I wonder if Mike Elias is regretting helping build this team...

 

 

 

AND WE SCORE!!!! I can't believe it!

[scOtt]

2 out RBI!

[SteveA]

So much for that unsustainable .198 BABIP off Verlander!
