Orioles vs yankees series thread

[GOSKINS_08]

3 game series..Game 1 starts in a few minutes..I believe we have Olson pitching for us today.



Go O's!!!!!!!!

[abdcskins]

Let's do this and maul them. A must win game and series as far as I'm concerned.


Looks like a marvelous day.

[abdcskins]

Olson looking good, no runs through 5 with 7 Ks. Makakis had another outfield assist in the third, gunning down Damon at the plate to end the inning.

[abdcskins]

Markakis goes deep to center! 9th HR of the year. He has doubled and homered today. 1-0 Orioles.

And the O's fans on ES go wild!

Huff follows with a double.

[abdcskins]

Hernandez singles leading off, Roberts walks with 2 out, and Mora follows with an RBI single! 2-0 Orioles still batting in the 7th.


I can feel the excitement in this thread. I hope you are all at the game.

[abdcskins]

Oh yeah! Markakis with an RBI single. A slump buster of a game. Huff daddy follows with a blast to deep right center. 6-0 Orioles!

[TheREALJBird]

I saw the highlights, awesome win today:cheers:

[GOSKINS_08]

Great win today! Olson was great! Nice to see Markakis get out of his slump.

I wanted to get the shutout too though.

[JMURedskins]

I went to the game. Nice to shut up the Yanks fans. Olson had his best game to date. Markakis had a huge day. I got a little burnt but enjoyed every minute of the game.

[the burgundy and gold]

i'm burnt too i went to the nats game. But great news that Olson did so well, also glad to see Nicky finally start doing well.

[TheDoyler23]

Aubrey Huff hit a fantastic "F U" homer to cap the scoring today.

3 runs charged to good old LaTroy as well.

I'll be at the Yards tomorrow night!

[the burgundy and gold]

yeah i was so glad to see LaTroy got rocked today.

[Chump Bailey]

Great game and it's nice to see Olson look like a major league pitcher. Trax will not pitch in the Sox series, which is a relief.

[sith lord]

Can we please win the series TONIGHT? This team has the knack of winning the first game and then dropping the next two.

We have to win at least two against NY especially with Boston coming to town. Unfortunately, it's Burres tonight and I don't have much faith... :(. Hopefully our offense can help him out.

Burres has had success against the Yanks so far this year.

7.2ip 6h 1er 0bb 5k
5.2ip 5h 0er 4bb 2k

Both games in the win column.

I guess we have to worry that they figure him out this time.

oh! good... I didn't even look to see his record against the Yankees spefically. Overall though he hasn't been great, which is why I worry a little.

[TheDoyler23]

The Yanks don't hit lefty's very well.

Let's hope that trend continues tonight. :cheers:

[MDRedskinsFan]

I hope the storms they're calling for this evening don't impact the game. It smells like rain to me, but I want to win this game and clinch the series. This would be huge going into the 4 game set with the BoSox this weekend.

[Fletch_Lives59]

Come on f'n Burres....shut em down...

[Fletch_Lives59]

i'll take fly ball outs all day long...:)

[the burgundy and gold]

ouch Burres struggling in the 2nd inning. 3 straight hits including a homer. Now the "lets go yankees" chants have begun at the yard.

[the burgundy and gold]

Millar hits a bomb, its about time he does something. We're down 4-2 currently, but Kennedy sucks so we could still come back.

[the burgundy and gold]

wow Ramon hits one, back to back jacks! 4-3 game.

[the burgundy and gold]

Burres gets 2 quick outs in the 4th and then gives up 3 quick runs. He's gotta be taken out of the game right now, he just doesn't have it tonight.

[Fletch_Lives59]

this game is crazy...8-8 tied

and of course I bench Mora tonight and he hits a 2 run HR...:laugh:

[ixcuincle]

that's a lot of home runs...3 in one inning , I think.

Tied up!

[JMURedskins]

HR derby tonight. Bad pitching and the ball is just sailing tonight. The ball definitely hasn't been flying like this when the weather was cooler. 9 hrs....wow

[the burgundy and gold]

this is an unbelievable game to watch. I've never seen the orioles hit so many homers in my life. How on earth has Millar hit two bombs today? Dear god!

[JMURedskins]

Captain Jeter gets picked off.
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[GOSKINS_08]

What a game..Whats the record for most HR's hit in a game for both teams combined?

[the burgundy and gold]

^^^11 at camden yards, i don't know about the league overall.

[GOSKINS_08]

****! Millar looked safe too.

[rincewind]

Bad angle by the ump. Millar didn't argue though.

[JMURedskins]

Safe or out, why would the Ump get into a position where the catchers body would block him from getting a good view of the tag?

[the burgundy and gold]

o's have a chance to score in the 8th.

[JMURedskins]

Side note: Is there a better story this year than Hamilton? The guy is a stud. He just hit a grand slam and has 58 RBI.

[rincewind]

Farnsworth has the fastest intentional walk pitch I've ever seen. :laugh:

my fantasy team is so tight, thanks to him.

[the burgundy and gold]

dear god, its time to bring Scott Moore up, i'm tired of Melmo.

[Fletch_Lives59]

jesus Mora

[JMURedskins]

Mora helps out the Yanks with a ground into a DP

[rincewind]

I live less than 10 miles west of the stadium and the skies just opened up. I think we're looking at a rain delay during the 9th.

[MDRedskinsFan]

Well now we know who our LVP is, that's Melvin Mora. That was ******* disgusting!!!

[Fletch_Lives59]

Hopefully they show Amber in a white tee shirt....it's pouring now

[rincewind]

Absolutely ridiculous that they are still playing. I've never seen a manager come out and actually argue for a rain delay before. I like Girardi even more now. :)

[the burgundy and gold]

what a crazy game this has been, now a rain delay in the bottom of the 9th.

[paige3girl]

omg. you guys this was the craziest rain ever. We were out running errands for our pre-Sox party Saturday and listening to tonights game on the radio. We finished up errands and it was tied at the bottom of the 6th. We decided to go grab a beer in our local bar to watch the last few innings. The bar is maybe 8 blocks from Camden Yards. We see the rain on TV and I swear to god, every single person in the bar turns their heads to look outside! -- no rain. It didn't even start raining in Federal Hill until after the rain delay was called. Of course its pouring now but it was so odd.

I agree with the others that the game should have been called. Thank goodness Damon didn't score and more importantly no one got hurt. I think Trembley's arguing at the was 60% for serious and 40% for show, I mean it did work out in our favor. (fingers crossed)

[the burgundy and gold]

game on!!!!

[TheREALJBird]

WHAT A WIN!!! Wow hell of a game, one of the most entertaining ones I've seen in recent memory:cheers:

[paige3girl]

OMG!!!! That was amazing!

[twenty-eight]

that game was awesome! So ****ing entertaining!

Can we get a translator for citron

GO O'S!!!!

[CurseReversed]

What A Game!!!!!!

Best I Have Seen This Season... Go O's!!!

[JMURedskins]

I would like to thank Hawkins for appealing his suspension.

[twenty-eight]

I agree, Paige....OMG!!!!

:D

[GOSKINS_08]

What a win!! Great job, great win!!

[TheREALJBird]

that game was awesome! So ****ing entertaining!

Can we get a translator for citron

GO O'S!!!!

:laugh: Bad thing is he speaks about 10X better than Luis Hernandez:laugh:. Man I'm gonna have trouble sleeping tonight now, so pumped from the game

[rincewind]

I would like to thank Hawkins for appealing his suspension.


Pretty funny after Palmer basically suggested it was bs that he was pitching against the O's tonight. It's weird being on the other side of announcing homerism. I never thought Thorne was that bad, but he was really pissing me off tonight.


(We get it, Jeter ****ed up and got picked off. Now shut the **** up and talk about current happenings in the game. :mad: )

[twenty-eight]

In your face rince

:moon:

[JMURedskins]

Yankees should have kept Rivera in. He could have thrown the ball into the stands and the ump tonight would have called it a strike.

[rincewind]

Only on the one half of the plate. He wasn't getting calls he should have on the catcher's right side, but he was getting calls he shouldn't have on the catcher's left side. Of course MASN was only showing the ones that were bad calls for the O's with the strike zone thing. :rolleyes:



Good win for the O's. The Yankees really need to find some consistancy... and a left hander in the bullpen.






By the way - I don't think I've ever seen Rivera pitch 3 innings.

[abdcskins]

Holy jesus! What a win! Can't believe I missed the last 6 innings. I had to go to a class at 6:00 so I left when we were down 8-4. I checked the score on my cell around 7:30 and saw that we had tied it 8-8 in the 8th. The comeback kids! It was a HR derby tonight huh? I just saw the highlights on Baseball Tonight. What's funny is that I called a first pitch HR on the first one Millar hit. I said outloud to myself, "first pitch HR to deep left." Boom! God I love this team. Determination. For the first time in recent memory this is a team with heart and grit that never gives up. We may make the playoffs or we may not, but rest assured we will grind every game. And that is why I will continue to watch(unless I have a stupid driving class like tonight:doh: ). Orioles Magic!

[TheDoyler23]

I DO NOT leave games early. Games like this are my reward for sitting in the hot, cold,
rain and suckage. After the delay, they let everyone come move down. I was about 10 rows behind home, towards first base a few steps.

Giambi's dinger was an explosion. Markakis didn't even move. The Yanks seemed to rally with two outs every time.

Yanks blew a 4 run lead TWICE in one game, both over less than 2 innings. That's pathetic.

The home plate umpire was absolutely correct too keep playing in the rain as the team pitching wasn't the one bitching. Umpires are reluctant to have delays mid inning as its a disadvantage to the team on defense. It wasn't THAT bad anyway.

Had Torre stayed, He'd probably be fired by now.

I can't believe Markakis' shot in the 11th didn't get out. How about Cintron, though!

Too bad the Yanks IBBd Scott in the 11th. Talk about a back story, there. Hawkins got what was coming too him.

ARod wasn't un-clutch. He was unlucky in the 11th. ****ing smashed that ball right too Roberts.

It was about 65% O's fans. The Yanks fans don't make any noise unless they get two runners on. Then its as if some magic douchebag fairy dust is sprinkled on them and there they go...

[Chump Bailey]

Why isn't Cintron the starting SS? Every time I see him, he is making a clutch play with the bat or glove.

[paige3girl]

Why isn't Cintron the starting SS? Every time I see him, he is making a clutch play with the bat or glove.

Didn't you just know it was over when he stepped up to the plate?? When they loaded the bases my husband and I both said he was going to get it done. I just knew! So exciting.

[Fletch_Lives59]

Part of me is OK with this slide. Maybe if we stop winning, we'll stop seeing players like Millar, Huff, Trax, etc. play such a big role.

I'd rather see the young players (especially someone to replace Trax in the rotation) and have us lose, than see the old guys and have us lose a couple less times.

actually I like the mix and the VETERANS have kept us in these games, but they do need to rest those guys and stick the youngins in to get experience...

Best game I have seen in a long time...Does anyone else notice that MASN will play O's games on their HD channel only when they play the Nats or the Yankees....bunch of BS if you ask me....

I'm so bitter that I live in Assburn and can't go to as many as games as Doyler and Paige....bitter :)

You should probably be mad at me, because I've only made it to one game so far. I do have plans to go to at least 2-3 in June though, so that's a drastic improvement for me.:)

[sith lord]

I know I'm late, but that was the best Oriole win I've seen in years. And as for the Yanks, this was game number 1 that they blew with the Chamberlin experiment. They'll be more.

[paige3girl]

lol. I can see the stadium from my house so its hard not to go. this is actually the first series I am missing this season, I have been to at least one game for each home series. Just a busy, busy week. Everyone wants to come to the games when the Red Sox are in town so our house is like grand central

[abdcskins]

I envy all of you. The drive to Camden is a little too far from my house.

[the burgundy and gold]

alright game 3 is about to start, lets pray we get some runs for Guthrie this time.

[TheDoyler23]

Roberts with a single up the middle and Mora drops a beauty of a bunt down the line for a hit.

Markakis grounds to first and Giambi gets the middle runner at second. 3rd and first, 1 away.

Millar K's on a 3-2 curveball. Markakis steals second.

Huff hits a nubber to short.

UGH.

Guthrie's pitching, so of course we can't score...

[abdcskins]

Once again we fail to get the run in from 3rd with less than two outs. We must lead the league in that category.

[Fletch_Lives59]

sit down A-Rod.....1 away

[TheDoyler23]

Matsui hits a one out double off Cintron's glove into no Man's land.

Guthrie throws a wild pitch on a ball Hernandez ****ing HAS to block.

Giambi binks a single thru the shift. 1-0 Yanks.

[abdcskins]

Mora goes 5 iron to the seats in left! 2-1 Orioles!

[GOSKINS_08]

****, yankees tie the game on a Jason Giambi HR.

[abdcskins]

Well, that was hit kinda hard. Check that man for steroids.

[TheDoyler23]

****, yankees tie the game on a Jason Giambi HR.

Anything hit that far should have a ****ing stewardess on it.

Hernandez hits a warning tracker in the 4th. Man, he's made a million loud outs this year.

[TheDoyler23]

Jeter hits a sac fly to make it 3-2.

[the burgundy and gold]

its not looking too good right now. O's offense has been non existant in the last few innings. B-Rob sure blew it being picked off of second.

[TheDoyler23]

3-2 coming to the 9th now...Hopefully the Yanks will take out Chamberlain in the bottom! ;)

[abdcskins]

Sherrill hasn't pitched very well as of late. Oh whoops that's Walker, my bad.

[the burgundy and gold]

^^^neither has Walker...

[the burgundy and gold]

it's time for Walker and Bradford to be off our team. They're both really old and really bad, no need for them at all. Just bring up more young pitchers.

[TheDoyler23]

Jamie walker gives up an infield single on a routine ground ball to first because he ****ING DIDN'T RUN TO THE ****ING BAG. ****!

4-2 Yankees.

[TheDoyler23]

Rivera in....

Jones K's

PH Scott reaches on an error by Arod.

Roberts, who has great numbers....pops out to short...

[sith lord]

Our pitching must be really good because we can't hit worth a damn. I mean, do we have a hitter hitting above 270?

[pjfootballer]

2 out of 3. Good job. With the way we were sliding, I wasn't wure what would happen. And yeah, Sith, out hitting is....well, wOeful! :laugh:
