Hey Kevin Brown, Guerrero wasn't the MVP a year ago.  Stop with the Star Wars references and get it together.

I like that it's overcast, since we learned yesterday that the Orioles don't like hitting in sunshine.

Amazing that Mateo's throw even got to first base. The first  bounce was near the cutout near 2B. Impressive start.

Mateo with the play of the year?

[Moshagge3]

I'm excited for the Jorge Mateo defensive highlights compilation video.

[spleen1015]

I appreciate Hyde's confidence today, sending out a lineup with an automatic out in it.

[Moshagge3]

You need a better 0-2 pitch, Mike.

[eddie83]

Solid start. Let’s go. 

[Moose Milligan]

**** off Kirk.  Fat sack of goo.

I'm coming in HOT today, fellas.  

[Gurgi]

Kirk looks like me running to first base.  LOL

[Moshagge3]

I hope Gausman has the same stuff he had last time we faced him.

[Moshagge3]

Mullins got screwed by the ump.

[eddie83]

That call was brutal. 

[eddie83]

Where did that miss.
