It’s just four runs did Tampa give up yesterday?

Anybody have a theory as to why this game is at noon?  Even for a midweek day game that’s an odd time. It’s certainly not for the TV ratings!

Fans want to get out of the ballpark, fight the traffic and get home in time for early bird dinner specials?

will be at least 60 pitches in 2 innings

Wells is somewhere far,  far away from Florida, mentally.   His attention is somewhere other than this game.  I wonder if he has something going on in his personal life?

[Fiver6565]

Guess I won't rush to the TV from my basement office to check this one out, not yet at least.

So nice to have the win in hand from last night.  Would be great to sweep but a split as worst case scenario isn't so bad.  Plenty of time to go in this one regardless though.

The defense this series has been awful.  Between errors and balls that could or should have been caught last night it has been a train wreck.

At this point we should eat it and just let Tyler pitch the 3rd. Gotta hope he can shake it off to clamp down and get at least into the 4th before turning over to the bullpen after yesterday's bunch pitched.

Rock this rook!

[Billy F-Face3]

RRRRRrrrrrrrramon!!

[Moose Milligan]

Urias is a dude.

[dtk9119]

Alright Urias! Chip away a little at a time.

[Spakman]

9 inning game it’s like this is a Yankees message board

[Hank Scorpio]

Laser beam

I'm not sure how to check the data on this, but Orioles' offense seems -- to me -- to be a lot more productive when they're behind. So let's see.

Sneaky pop. 

(I want to hear that sang to the tune of N-Sync's Dirty Pop.)
