Estimated start time: 7:20

[Beeracuda]

Let's get off to a good start tonight with a couple runs in the 1st.  The last few days have been low energy and depressing.

[slakattack]

I gotta good feeling about tonight...I think they're gonna roll.

[SteveA]

Some fine defense that inning.

[OriolesMagic83]

Example 1001 why it is good to have Adley on the O's. 

[Bemorewins]

I know it's just the first inning and anything can happen. But just look at the swings that these guys are taking on Bradish as opposed to the last 3 games. 

I know that this is not news but you can see the night and day difference of real major league talent opposed to what we had the last 3 games.

That's why I don't think that Watkins can realistically compete with a Bradish or even a Kremer for a spot in next year's rotation.

[SteveA]

What was that Adley?   Were you looking fastball?

[CynBeth]

Has a bad feeling coming in this pitcher will look like Cy Young against us.

[slakattack]

That chubby little bastard can rake, I'll give him that.

[dtk9119]

Sigh... just never ends.

How do you let frigging Kirk score from 2nd??

And look at him motor home.

[Tony-OH]

I'll just say it. A better right fielder catches Kirk's ball and Mullins took way to long to come and throw that bal. Can't let a runner as slow as Kirk score on that. Too bad defensive plays cost a run.

[spiritof66]

Getting pecked to death by the BJs once again.

[Sports Guy]

That was a nasty pitch.
