June 6th vs A's

[The Rick]

The worst thing about people freaking out and getting steamed is that it's contagious. When times are hard, the last thing you need is everybody helping each other freak. What you need is everybody helping each other take a deep breath...

As Nolan misses that foul FB....

No doubt... 1 out of every 10 people influence the other 9. I think that holds true with the freak out crew.

All you can do is keep fighting the good fight.

[RShack]

An inning with no doubles...

[SoBo]

Let me be myself!

[Three RBI Homer]

How any self respecting Baltimore fan can root for ANYTHING associated with the city of Pittsburgh is beyond my understanding, yet I know we have some SteAlers* and Penguins fans on this site.

But I digress......

If this makes you feel any better, I grew up a Steelers and Penguins fan, (along with the orioles, but it doesnt matter). My family was from Pittsburgh. I starting actually following sports and decided to like the Ravens. To this day I am about as hardcore ravens fan as you can find. I never found an alternative to the pens because baltimore doesnt have a hockey team, so they stuck.

At this point I would settle for 4 or 5 runs to get some of the heads picked up. We are a very depressed baseball team right now.

[Saintbird]

The dropped foul FB didn't bite us... DH K'd the guy anyway...

That's a tough catch in a strange ballpark.

[threedaysrest]

Buck won an emmy for best color commentator!

Thorne?! Weellll...congratulations.

[The Rick]

Wow, that speaks volumes to the credibility of the Emmy awards. :laughlol:

[Mike B]

Thorne and Buck Emmy Awards. Who the hell did PGA bribe??

[Saintbird]

How did Buck Martinez beat out Palmer?

[Three RBI Homer]

What? Martinez and Thorne with emmys? Thats just as bad as Jason Varitek making the all star game, or Derek Jeter being the starter.

While to think tonight could not have gotten any worse, I come to find that Gary Thorne is the best play by play announcer in America!!!

[threedaysrest]

Buck does a good job. We need a Buck Martinez quotables thread! Those who doubt Buck's baseball acumen, listen to him on XM...

[RShack]

WHAT!?!?!?! Buck won a freaking Emmy for "best color announcer". Are you kidding me?

Jebus H. Crust, what do they do, just rotate who they give them to, no matter what kind of job they do?

[sbauer]

How did Buck Martinez beat out Palmer?

Buck does stuff for TBS, ESPN and others. Palmer doesn't.
