I swear Garceau called him Sisco

I don't doubt it!

Wow! That was quick!

I’m more interested in watching the pitching. I’m almost at the point where I expect Means to throw a no-hitter each time out.

From Roch today:

Shortstop Freddy Galvis is out of the lineup after playing in four consecutive games following his recovery from a sore left adductor/groin. He’s gone 4-for-13 with a home run.

“A day off before an off-day,” Hyde said. “Gets a couple days to rest up a little bit.”

Sweet! Thank you so much for answering me and looking that up for me. I don't know baseball quite as good as you guys do.

Man, wouldn't that be sweet!?

Meanwhile, someone needs to remind Mountcastle, that if you don’t have any defensive value it’s ok, unless you also have no offensive value.

You want to keep Means and have him with Hall and G-Rod in the rotation, too.  That's what we should be working for.

Should be.

Google will look in my photo album and pop up pictures taken on this date in a previous year on my phone.

Six years ago today, after visiting my mother in Upstate NY, I stopped on the way home to Baltimore to go to an Orioles/Mets game at Citi Field.   I met up with @LA2 and @OFFNY there.

It was Bud Norris vs Bartolo Colon and it was a pitcher's duel.   The Mets won 3-2.   The Orioles' 2 runs came on HRs by Manny Machado and Chris Davis.   The game just took 2:19, so I was able to get home to Baltimore before 2AM and I went to work the next day, though I imagine I didn't work a full day.   I was actually a little disappointed that the Mets didn't  hit any HRs because I didn't get to see the Big Apple do whatever it does when they hit one.

The O's will be at Citi Field to face the Mets again on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.

Hard to throw a no hitter if you can't throw a complete game.

[Moose Milligan]

That was a goddamn strike.  Unbelievable.

[O's84]

This umpire is garbage, absolute garbage! 

[scOtt]

FU BLUE! STILL 1-2-3, DESPITE your worst efforts!
