Painting the town red refers to staying out until dawn's early, red light colors the town red.

We're dropping all sorts of knowledge here today. Love it.

Matusz whiffs Ross for his second straight strikeout. Inning over. 4-1 Orioles heading to the bottom of the 6th.

I know its early, but you gotta love those back to back strike outs.

[PaulFolk]

Roch Kubatko in the booth. Good people, that Roch.

Justin Turner flies out to open the 6th.

[PaulFolk]

Reimold grounds out to third.

Roch praising the Orioles' outfield, saying they'll catch "everything that's not over the fence."

Pssh...they're no Mike Devereaux. He caught everything that was over the fence.

[Austin]

What a media multitasker, that Roch, blogging and talking and looking good all at once.

[PaulFolk]

Jolbert Cabrera reaches on an infield single to third. Guillermo Rodriguez bounces into a fielder's choice at second. End of 6 innings, it's 4-1 Orioles.

Roch says: "The O's passed on Justin Smoak because you have to take the best pitcher in the draft."

Cue a 20-page thread!

Cue a 20-page thread!

Did he just say that out of the blue?

[Austin]

Did he just say that out of the blue?

They were speaking about Matusz, who is currently pitching.

[Who's On 1st]

Does anyone know if Rich Hill pitches in today's game?

I think Hill is up on Sunday! Brad Bergesen on Monday!

Not completely...Manfra brought up Matusz.

Maybin pops out for the second out.

[BillySmith]

The allusion is to the kind of unruly behaviour that results in much blood being spilt. There are several suggestions as to the origin of the phrase. The one most often repeated, especially within the walls of the Melton Mowbray Tourist Office, is a tale dating from 1837. It is said that year is when the Marquis of Waterford and a group of friends ran riot in the Leicestershire town of Melton Mowbray, painting the town's toll-bar and several buildings red.

This is off the internet for the meaning of "paint the town red". I made the other bs.

Not completely...Manfra brought up Matusz.

Maybin pops out for the second out.

Just seems odd that Smoak's name was brought up.
