4/20 - O's at Redsox

[fansince71]

From Roch:

With the Orioles missing two regulars because of hamstring injuries - Melvin Mora is on the disabled list and Adam Jones is on the bench - today's lineup has a much different look. The No. 2 hitter has changed, along with the outfield alignment. And we have a different first and third baseman:

Brian Roberts - 2B

Cesar Izturis - SS

Nick Markakis - RF

Aubrey Huff - DH

Ty Wigginton - 1B

Luke Scott - LF

Gregg Zaun - C

Ryan Freel - 3B

Felix Pie - CF

Mark Hendrickson - P

Here's the Red Sox's lineup:

Ellsbury - CF

Pedroia - 2B

Ortiz - DH

Youkilis - 1B

Baldelli - RF

Bay - LF

Lowell - 3B

Varitek - C

Green - SS

Masterson - P

The Sawx are throwing a young pitcher, making his first start of the year in place of Dice-K. Never a good scenario for the O's faithful.

We're countering with Hendrickson.

Today may be one of those days requiring a solid sense of humor.

When does Wieters arrive?

It's far too early for baseball :laughlol:...just glad it's not raining in Boston like it is here.

It's raining here too. We shall over come. We're going to win today.

I'm all for discussing the finer points of the game today. No negative nancies, and no brooms!

Given the injuries to Mora and Jones and the fact that Hendrickson is starting in Fenway today, I kinda wish it WAS raining in Boston.

You can't get 105.7 in Millersville?

[ChrisAF79]

O's go 3 up, 3 down. Pedroia apparently made a great play on a one-hop shot off the bat off Markakis to get the out.

Anybody else on mlb.tv catch that little baba o'riley right there?

Is that truly a big problem?

[ChrisAF79]

Did everyone forget there was a game this early? This is going to be my work day for the next 3 hours.

[ChrisAF79]

God, I love the dulcet tones of Joe Angel. Listening to baseball on the radio is something I don't do nearly enough.

[payray10]

Nice little tone setter there.
