6/29: Red Sox at Orioles, Game 1

[isestrex]

We're not losing tonight because we're a bad offensive team, we're losing because we're facing one of the best left handers in baseball.

He was arguing that you NEED a stud hitter like Pujols in order to be a WS contender. I was pointing out that you needed outstanding pitching and a solid lineup and not necessarily a stud hitter.

Tonight's attendance: 36,548. At least half of them Red Sox fans.

Only half? I doubt that.

Only half? I doubt that.

That's why I said at least.

[Jagwar]

Man... Wieters might not beat out Terry Kennedy in a footrace.

[Moose Milligan]

At any rate, I plan on taunting Sox fans Wednesday with "Bandwagoner" jeers. Always a good time.

[Hank Scorpio]

Paul, fart on one of them or do something else offensive to chase them away.

I'm going to go do something more enjoyable than watch this game, like cut my toenails off with steak knives.

It would have been worse.....some spent their nickels in DC last week. A friend of mine went to one of the games in DC last week (free ticket) and said he thought it was about 80% Red Sox fans.

[Great 2BA FL Gator]

I hate playing the Red Sox. Can we get moved out of the AL East PLEASE

I think you need both. Bottom line, the Orioles need another guy on offense. They also need the pitching to be light years better than it has been. No doubt about that. My thing is that there seems to be an illusion that the offense is good enough when it is clearly not.

Hey, the National Geographic channel has a special on some exploding Sperm Whale in Taiwan.

TK...that is a blast from the past... I used to tell the kids, that was the one professional athelete I could out run. Heck, now I could not out run Ortiz.... Sorry, I am bored.

[Why Not?]

Tonight's attendance: 36,548. At least half of them Red Sox fans.

An aside...the Nats are in Miami, with a rain-delayed start. There can't be more than 500 people in the ballpark.

:rofl:

It'll be OK, Hank. Once the main infantrymen of the cavalry arrive, oh, how BOS will quake with fear and beg, please, Messrs. Tillman, Arrieta, Matusz, and Bergesen, let a couple of our men on base.

Until then:

At least MASN is blessing us with occasional Amber segments. :hearts:

I don't think Mr. Berken is much longer for the rotation. I hope I'm wrong. Richie Hill may fast be approaching this status, too, if he doesn't begin righting himself. Stop fooling around, Richie, and bring the tilt and funk, daddy!

Drew is a double away from the cycle. Will he get it?
