9/2: Sox-O's rubber game

[PaulFolk]

Just wanted to point out that Daisuke Matsuzaka is pitching a no-hitter right now.

My work here is done.

Anyway, CFB is opening tonight. Not much reason to watch this game.

Any big games tonight? I saw USCar and SoMo was on, I'll check in on that every now and then.

Sorry, did you say No Hitter? Are we supposed to talk about No Hitters if they're in progress?

[Hank Scorpio]

Sorry, but you have to be kidding.

I thought the game threads were a place to comment on the game, enjoy a little online fan experience.

Vent frustration? Really?

Uh, yeah... really. If I don't vent my frustration here, I break remote controls.

I've sorta learned this year to not watch as much.

That said, I wasn't venting frustration, I was making an observation. Bergesen very CLEARLY has nothing tonight. Zippy slider and a flat sinker. Conversely, Matsuzaka has very good stuff tonight. The Orioles aren't a very good team. They're down by 5 runs.

Let the optimism run freely!!!

[Jagwar]

Yes, actually. Read the responses to your own thread. I'm not the only one that thinks this. We are commenting on the game. When the game itself is frustrating, how can you expect the comments to be 'better luck next game' and 'well, we've already won some games, I guess we can lose some too'. Unfortunately, the fan experience of the Orioles for the past 13 years has been frustrating.

Again, sorry if I'm being curt with you, but you might be able to tell I'm a little frustrated right now.

Pretty sure that is why there is a Rants section on the board.

Never quoted you my friend...

No Hitter... No more!

[Hank Scorpio]

So happy college football is back.

[BRob51]

No, rant section is for random things that happen to you. To talk about the current game specifically you go to the game thread.

[BRob51]

Good teamwork, Paul

I'd just like to point out Daisuke's got a shut out going.

[BRob51]

Why does it matter who you quoted, your point should be applicable to everyone.

Nah, just to the ones who think games end after 2 innings.

[BRob51]

Nah, just to the ones who think games end after 2 innings.

Have you even read my posts? If I gave up on the team after two innings, why would I be watching and posting in the game thread, let alone watching the O's at all?

By the way, I didn't post until page 2, when you brought up this childish crusade of sunshine and rainbows. We saw the sox come back from 5 down last night, we came back against them from 10 runs last year, but to come out and say after after giving up 3 unearned runs, 5 runs in total, that this will be the O's finest hour is absurd.

[Stotle]

And people are wondering why I started that thread last night?

Sarcasm is lost on the self-righteous, I suppose...

[BRob51]

Nice, VandenHurk is coming in. I've missed the few games he's gotten into this season.

I may be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that I have never cited anything you have posted as an example of a naysayer.

And yes, my optimism runs deep. A 5-run comeback would be wonderful right now.
