Monday, May 8: Showdown at the Yard -- Rays come to town, O's try to win 11th straight series opener

One of our boys are going downtown.

The O's not being able to close the gap offensively against the good teams even when the starters do well is a reason why you could argue it's premature to trade for a top-tier starter. This team isn't there yet, and an ace isn't going to push them over the hump. This season can be a success even if we all recognize they're not winning the WS.

The Rays are 22-0 when they score first.

28-0 when the other team doesn’t score.

This just isn't a playoff team lineup

On the brightside with 12 teams making the playoffs you still got a shot.

Would be nice if Mounty could get this started right.

I think the Orioles can get to Kevin Jelly

I hate all the Lowe’s. There’s like three of them, one of them always kills us and I think it’s Nate. The fact that all three of them played for the Rays makes it even more confusing. 

Boycott the Lowe's!   Visit Home Depot.

[Moose Milligan]

Of course. 

[Billy F-Face3]

4.5 is not a great ERA

On the Orioles starting staff it would be.  Probably the best.

Look we are a HR hitting team. need a couple of jacks.

We are? They have hit 41 which is middle of the pack in the AL. The Rays have hit 71 this year.

[Billy F-Face3]

Maybe I spoke too soon. Let's try this instead: The Orioles got no shot again Kelly

[Dunk35]

Now they have a Rule 5 guy shoving up the heart of our order

We’re getting shut out tonight, guys.
