Nah, leave it out lying around.  

But take his car keys.

At least hide the good stuff, it would be wasted on him.  Just leave some fortified wine.

Hope the team has either watched Al Leiter's breakdown of Cease from this morning, or they have the same info from their coaches and staff.

Apparently his slider is the star, with a wicked curveball.  Looked rather daunting in that segment.

How come we always seem to be facing some lights out stopper?  

[Gurgi]

Lets jump on these guys early and pile on late.  Lets have a laugher.  

[Gurgi]

That ball just carried and carried.   Not expect that one to go out.

[PHRESH]

Damn. Jimenez can hit 

[O's84]

So many balls up out over the plate by.  Now down 2-0 against Cease.  Better not allow any more, easier said then done of course.

[Gurgi]

Nice recovery.......lets get them runs back quick.

[PHRESH]

Surprised he picked that ball up 

[tntoriole]

Win expectations are down significantly after our pitcher serves it up and we face a Cy Young candidate.. it is getting harder to squint and see how we don’t fall off the pace.  This next 9 games may well tell us that one way or the other.. and this is a bad start. 

[Gurgi]

Adley fighting this AB........
