4/7 O's vs Rays

[WEAVERMAN]

Meredith has a solid 3.52 career ERA and 0.55 HR/9 (comparable to Mariano Rivera's 0.49 HR/0), let's not act like he's a bad pitcher because of one bad pitch.

You're comparing Meredith to Rivera?

I don't get the hostility...Garza was on fire tonight...Guts pitched a pretty decent game...it's not like we are getting embarrassed...they just had the better pitcher tonight, that guy is a stud.

[Goober Noodles]

I'm just bummed because for once I wanted to Orioles to show some life. This whole "well, we're only losing by a little bit" is just loser talk. I'm sick and damn tired of watching the Orioles lose close games.

It's not over yet, Tony.

[weams]

He's either dazed or he is pissed.

[Moose Milligan]

Nice, wild pitch. It seems like Soriano is effectively wild. Wouldn't wanna dig in against him.

Jeez, Palmer sounds like he's going through puberty.

[Tony-OH]

Good tilt on Sori's slider. He's a prima donna, but his stuff is legit.

He's got terrible body language out there though...

Don't be intentionally dense. I'm comparing his HR/9 to Rivera and neither are known for giving up homeruns, yet you decided it was time to act like he was a bad pitcher because of one homerun in one game in a 162 game season.

Yeah I posted something like this a few pages ago but I think it got lost in the shuffle. I'm not all that upset. We've got to play better, definitely, but this is far from catastrophic.

I'm listening on the radio, but man, last night was horrible. Not a good way to endear yourself to the umpires.

[SoBo]

Maybe the braves knew what they were doing letting these two guys go.

Because we're seeing first hand how much better a lineup and starting rotation the Rays have than us. It's depressing.

100% correct. 12 years has drained the patience though.

[RavenWarrior]

That extra run just cost us the game unless someone else gets on and they get a 3 run homer.

[BaltBird 24]

Time to win over the Oriole fans, Atkins.

[backwardsk]

Nolan has to do something here cause after that it's Third Out and Izzy. I'd try and pinch hit Lugo for Izzy, here, def.

I'd go with Wigginton instead.
