Expect a big win tonight 

[OriolesMagic83]

Never heard of Bubic before which means he will throw 7 scoreless innings.

Bubic has a era of over 9. Yet KC is favorite to win tonight. If we can't win this game we need to give up.

Tailbone, Cortes, and Cole all had great starts last weekend, flirting with no hitters and perfect games.  And then all 3 came out in their next start this year and sucked.

They are the favorite because of our 9-18 record on the road.

Love it.

Hey you blokes!

Ugh... Dave Johnson?

[mrbig1]

it's going to be one of those nights when a pitcher can't buy a win. Pitches like Bob Gibson against us.

No, he did not go out on the tarp and do a Dempsey style Babe Ruth imitation yesterday.

He was in the lineup for yesterday   Roch says this is a scheduled day off for him and they stuck with it even after the rainout   He will play 3 games of the 4 in KC, DHing in 1.

20 pitch first.
