O's @ Yanks

[sith lord]

Maybe we'll have some luck if I started for a change. If we're not gonna be in the playoffs once again, might as well make life miserable for the Yanks.

GO O'S!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheDoyler23]

Guthrie Vs. Mussina

Nice matchup.

Let's Go O's!

[twenty-eight]

i'll miss the majority of this game...going to play some basketball...

GO O's!!!!!!!!!!!!

[abdcskins]

I played my basketball earlier today.

Let's mess up Mussina.

[TheDoyler23]

BRob with a 9 pitch walk and Mussina is already starring into the ump like a *****.

Jones K's looking at a heater off the corner.

Markakis doubles, Roberts gunned at home. Damn.

[abdcskins]

Sending Roberts there was one of the worst decisions of the season. 1 out you ****ing moron Samuel.

[TheDoyler23]

Sending Roberts there was one of the worst decisions of the season. 1 out you ****ing moron Samuel.

Yea, dunno what happened there. He was out by 30 feet.

Huff K's looking. 2 of the strikes were 3 inches outside and both were balls to Roberts. ****ing horrible.

[abdcskins]

Nice play Brian. Web gem.

[the burgundy and gold]

Brian Roberts is kinda good.

[TheDoyler23]

COWBOY UP!!!!!!!!!!! 3-0 O's on a Millar dinger!!!!!!!

[abdcskins]

Millar got a hold of that. We have been aggressive on the basepaths so far.


Let's just win 16 in a row god dammit. Sweep these mother****ers and win the AL East. Sorry, just fantasizing and getting rid of some frustration. :koolaid:

[TheDoyler23]

RAMOOOOOOOONN!!!!!!!!!!! With a BOMB to right center!!!!!!!!

1000th career hit for MoMo!

4-0!

[abdcskins]

And as I say that Ramon crunches one. Back-to-back! Trade value up!

[the burgundy and gold]

damn i don't remember the last time the O's hit back to back bombs.

[the burgundy and gold]

now that i think about it, holy ****, we finally are giving Guthrie some run support!

[aejm1400]

now that i think about it, holy ****, we finally are giving Guthrie some run support!

He's probably looking at the scoreboard to make sure he's still pitching tonight.

[Fletch_Lives59]

Mussina ownage...i love it...

[the burgundy and gold]

Guthrie is looking nice tonight, as always.

[TheDoyler23]

9up, 9down for Gutty. 35 pitches...NICE!

[aejm1400]

9up, 9down for Gutty. 35 pitches...NICE!

Wierd, I thought 35 pitches was a minimum for the 1st inning by O's pitchers.

[the burgundy and gold]

Wierd, I thought 35 pitches was a minimum for the 1st inning by O's pitchers.

:doh: :doh: :doh: :(

[TheDoyler23]

Roberts doubbles

Jones Trippples!

5-0!

[TheDoyler23]

Huff with a sac fly 6-0!

[abdcskins]

I get a burrito :hungry: , then I come back and see Jones standing a third with another run on the board. Then I watch Huff hit a textbook sac fly. I love that, remember when we were hitting situationally so well early in the year?

[TheDoyler23]

A tidy 63 pitches thru 5. 1 hit, 1 bb, 1 hbp.

[TheDoyler23]

I get a burrito :hungry: ,

Chipotle?

[abdcskins]

Chipotle?

Ha, nah man. I enjoy Chipotle and all, but this is LA. I have about 5 excellent Mexican restaurants to choose from just within a six block radius alone. Plus a Negro Modelo. Delicious.

[TheDoyler23]

Ha, nah man. I enjoy Chipotle and all, but this is LA. I have about 5 excellent Mexican restaurants to choose from just within a six block radius alone. Plus a Negro Modelo. Delicious.

Can't hate on that.

Castro with an infield single! 7-0!

[TheDoyler23]

Roberts walks. Bases loaded for Jonesie.

[the burgundy and gold]

Adam Jones makes me happy, dear god he's good.

[ixcuincle]

congrats on his first grand slam! AJ makes it 11-0.

[TheDoyler23]

haha, PEACE!!!!!

That was CRSUHED. 11-0 O's!

[Fletch_Lives59]

whats the line on Guthrie so far?

[abdcskins]

That kid Adam Jones is gonna be allllright. He just missed a grand slam twice earlier this year, really glad he got one this time.

[TheDoyler23]

whats the line on Guthrie so far?

5IP, 1h, 1bb, 1hbp and something like 63 pitches.

[MDRedskinsFan]

Jeez, I hope Guthrie can bear down and end this inning now. A walk and now a HBP.

[TheDoyler23]

Guthrie loads the bases with 2 away, after nicking ARod. The 0-2 pitch SHOULD have been strike 3. Whatever.

[TheDoyler23]

I think the Yankee hitting coach has his guy practice the "Look back at the UMP like a petulant child" after any strike call.

[TheDoyler23]

Hot sauce up top to Giambi. Go do more roids, jerkass.

[twenty-eight]

Adam Jones makes me happy, dear god he's good.

Who is the guy in our Fantasy League that starts Mr. Jones?

Man he's good!


and granderson for jose lopez???

:slap:


and doyler, told you moose was going down!

Go O's!!!

[TheDoyler23]

Auuughhh... Nady launches a solo to break up the shuttie. 11-1.

Cormier coming in.

[twenty-eight]

3 run homer for damon

:cuss:

[TheDoyler23]

3 run homer for damon

:cuss:

Should have hit him in the ribs after he slapped the 5th foul ball.

[paige3girl]

I am the bad luck... they were 11-0 up when I turned on the TV. I have turned it off... I will check back later.

[twenty-eight]

Glad all their stars are on the bench

[twenty-eight]

Adam Jones!!!!

:party:

[aejm1400]

Now why couldn't Guthrie get this run support every week.

[TheDoyler23]

HUFF! 2 run dinger! 13-4.

[twenty-eight]

$20 says the O's don't score more than two runs tomorrow

[twenty-eight]

:wtf: this really starting to piss me off

[TheDoyler23]

Atta boy Walker. Nice changeup to get Damon to fly out.

[the burgundy and gold]

jesus this game is taking forever!

[twenty-eight]

come on...give Mr. Jones a chance for the cycle!!!!

[twenty-eight]

Damn! Thought that was going to fall in the gap!

[GOSKINS_08]

I didn't get to watch the game last night, but I saw the score, great win! Looks like Guthrie was great yet again, and Adam Jones is going to be a beast!

[pjfootballer]

Great win. I always say, we seem to beat the teams we shouldn't and lose to the teams we shouldn't.

[pjfootballer]

$20 says the O's don't score more than two runs tomorrow

And D-Cab gives up at least 7.

[abdcskins]

So today was interesting. First, I had breakfast with Nomar Garciaparra. He was sitting at the counter at one of my favorite breakfast spots(Uncle Bill's Pancake House in Manhattan Beach) and I sat down next to him. It was kinda empty. I'm not the type of person to bother famous people, but I wanted to talk to him. "What up Nomar man." "Hey," was his response. I place my order and thought of something to say. "Being an Orioles fan, I'd be interested to what you think about Camden Yards," I asked. "Love playing there. When it first started the infield was kinda rough, but it evened out real nice." "Yeah, I'm kinda biased, but I still say it is one of the nicest stadiums in the majors. A lot of newer ballparks modeled themselves after it." He nodded his head in agreement. That's it. I should've asked him what his favorite ballpark is in the NL and how much Cal Ripken infspired him, but I didn't want to bother the dude while he was eating his waffles. He said goodbye and I wished him good luck down the stretch. He seems like a cool person.


Then I got home and had an earthquake. Nothing major. All this could only mean one thing: We are going to crush the Yankees again.

[twenty-eight]

Thats a cool story, thanks for sharing :cheers:

Throw more breaking balls tonight, DCab.

[TheDoyler23]

When it first started the infield was kinda rough, but it evened out real nice."

OPACY has one of the slowest infields in the major leagues (the dirt part, not the grass). It has a lot more clay than most since it has such a good drainage system. Many other stadiums that didn't spend the $ like the O's did anduse a lot less clay in the dirt as it dries faster.

Wow. I am a HUGE nerd for knowing that... moving on....

Interesting that the Islant of starting pitchers I refuse to watch (Liz and Burres) are out of the rotation... Cabrera is next.. I reserve the right to stop watching him at any time. :laugh:

[TheDoyler23]

Markakis, Huff and Mora single with 2 outs and Markakis scores!

1-0!

Luuuuuuuke walks of 4 pitches. Bases loaded for Millar.

[abdcskins]

Interesting about the clay.

Nice Melvin! Nick runs the bases so hard, he isn't a speed demon(but he's fast enough) and every time he rounds third I just have a feeling he's gonna score.

Bases loaded...

[twenty-eight]

Damn!....lets go d cab!!

[TheDoyler23]

Cabrera gets out of the 1st and 3rd, 2 away jam.

Let's chase this Rasner guy.

[Fletch_Lives59]

was he in pain or limping? He had an MRI last night and showed that he had a mild strain of his MCL....

[twenty-eight]

Nomar is out indefinitely....

[TheDoyler23]

DCab is just pounding that cutter inside.

[twenty-eight]

Dcab is dealin!!!

[TheDoyler23]

Dcab is dealin!!!

Dunno about dealin, but he's actually throwing his changeup more than once a game. :applause:

[twenty-eight]

Ugh I had to open my big mouth

:slap:

[TheDoyler23]

Ugh I had to open my big mouth

:slap:

You may have to go play some hoops if DCab blows up this inning...

:laugh:

[TheDoyler23]

Can you get a payoff pitch NEAR the strike zone, cab?

[twenty-eight]

You may have to go play some hoops if DCab blows up this inning...

:laugh:

Yeah...or maybe go sit in the corner with Paige!


UGH..WOW!!! nice shift!!!

:jump:

[TheDoyler23]

Shift these nuts, Giambi.

Cabrera gets out of a big jam.

[abdcskins]

was he in pain or limping? He had an MRI last night and showed that he had a mild strain of his MCL....

I was sitting on his left and I noticed a knee sock(I forget the proper name of those things, you know what I mean though, basketball players wear them all the time) on his left knee. I didn't think much of it at the time, I just figured it might have been a precautionary thing. But yeah I just read that MCL strain thing. I didn't see if he was limping or anything. He's only played 27 games this year, so I can't imagine he'll be playing that much this year anymore. I'll cheer for him though, he had some tough injuries this year, and his career really.

And that is why you play the shift. Way to go Daniel! And way to go Millar! The haircut is working!

[twenty-eight]

Kevin Millar goes YARD!!!!! Wooooooooo!!!!

2-0 O's!!!

:party:

[TheDoyler23]

Millar leads off the 4th with a solo shot to left! 2-0!

[TheDoyler23]

Hernandez doubles over Damon's head.

Damon's arm represents the lollipop guild, if you know what I mean. ;)

[TheDoyler23]

Jeter steals 3rd with Abreu batting. That's kid of a dick move, there. I remember Payton and Mora almost came to blows over a situation like that last year.

[twenty-eight]

HomeRun Arod...dead center, solo shot

:cuss:

[RonArtest15]

Juan Castro is smooth in the field....

[TheDoyler23]

HomeRun Arod...dead center, solo shot

:cuss:

I was busy watching the Nats run themselves out of a scoring opportunity...

Bases loaded, no outs and Huff Daddy up!

[twenty-eight]

****!!!! Huff JUST MISSED a grand slam!

[TheDoyler23]

Huff missed a grand slam by about 8 feet. DAMN.

[twenty-eight]

Huff double in the GAP!!!!! Clears the bases!!!!! 5-1 O's!!!!!!!!

[TheDoyler23]

I'll take a three run dub though.

Huff Daddy in BEAST mode against their bought lefty specialist.

[twenty-eight]

$20 says the O's don't score more than two runs tomorrow

:dunce:

[TheDoyler23]

Mora tacks on a double off the bag! 6-1!

[TheDoyler23]

Interesting coverage going on over at ESPN...

Ellisbury K's...

Pedroia breaks it up. Drill him tomorrow.

No Nono for Lackey.

[TheDoyler23]

What the ****?????????

Abreu doubles....Markakis had him thrown out at second (he hook slid around the bag and didn't touch it with his leg...just hit hand and was tagged in the back)

Cabrera hits Arod in the back...and is EJECTED!?!?!?!? This is horse****. Why is Cabrera throwing at someon up by ****ing 5?!?!?

Terrible. Two terrible calls in 5 ****ing seconds.

[twenty-eight]

Yeah and Youk went yard to breakup the shutout.

DCab hits Arod and gets tossed

:bsflag:


but i did enjoy that!

[TheDoyler23]

What the **** are you doing, Johnson?

What the **** are you doing...entire team?

[twenty-eight]

I dont think he was trying to hit Arod....and that play at 2nd was close...

:cuss:

[TheDoyler23]

Johnson K's Betemit. 1 away...

[TheDoyler23]

Cabrera lines out to Jones...who almost played that into a 2 run tripple...yiiiiiiiiiikes.

Settle down, boys.

[TheDoyler23]

JJ freezes Nady with a....something....SOB looked like a screwball!

6-3 after 8. More like 6-1 and umps 2, but whatever.

Let's get em back!

[TheDoyler23]

Rivera in to pitch the 9th. Hopefully he'll buzz one inside so HE can be ejected for no reason as well.

[pjfootballer]

Angels just landed Mark Texiera.

[TheDoyler23]

Huff hit a 500 footer foul. That thing was 10 rows deel in the upper dack. Straight ed it out, Daddy.


He does....DINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7-3. SUCK IT SPANKEES!!!!!!

[ixcuincle]

Huff hit a 500 footer foul. That thing was 10 rows deel in the upper dack. Straight ed it out, Daddy.


He does....DINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7-3. SUCK IT SPANKEES!!!!!!

I'm hoping they don't trade him...they best not :mad:

[TheDoyler23]

Angels just landed Mark Texiera.

Yea, but Boras WILL take him to free agency. So we'll see.

[TheDoyler23]

If MLB had a stat called "**** you homeruns" Huff would be the league leader.

[pjfootballer]

Yea, but Boras WILL take him to free agency. So we'll see.

Oh, I know it's not permanent. He's a rental player. He won't stay in LA. Actually it was good he got out of Atlanta. They are the only other team I think would have made a play for him.

[TheDoyler23]

Sherrill gives up a single to Damon...

Walks Jeter after he had him 1-2...

C'mon Sherrill.

[TheDoyler23]

Abreu doubles.... 7-4. 2 in scoring position.

[conkev12]

I'd be shocked if A-rod doesn't hit a HR off Sherrill...:doh:

edit: a strikeout for Sherrill? shock of the century! :laugh:

[TheDoyler23]

I'd be shocked if A-rod doesn't hit a HR off Sherrill...:doh:

A-Rod K's..

Oh, I switched to "The Office" on TBS...I can't take this ****...

[pjfootballer]

I still have a feeling they'll get 2 more runs to make it 7-6 and a heart attack game.

[Fletch_Lives59]

wtf..........

[ixcuincle]

Another hit! 2 runs score. :(

Damn you Sherill!

[pjfootballer]

I knew it. We need a double play ball.

[ixcuincle]

Stolen base. Damn it...:mad:

[ixcuincle]

Cano struck out , one more to go!

[pjfootballer]

I cannot believe Sherrill is going to blow a 4 run lead. You have got to effin be kidding me god!!!!

[Fletch_Lives59]

I hate these games.....phew

[ixcuincle]

Game over! Close one :laugh:

[TheDoyler23]

Well....its still a win. Good Lord Sherrill...

[pjfootballer]

I just had to take a blood pressure pill and I can't even see the game. I'm on gamecast on SI.Com.

[TheDoyler23]

I just had to take a blood pressure pill and I can't even see the game. I'm on gamecast on SI.Com.

I was flipping between several other things...one of them ESPN2, which was showing the HR derby from a few weeks ago. I hit the back button thinking I was flipping back to the O's games and I get the derby and its the shot of a ball going over the fence (replay with no graphics up). It was a full second before I realized it was NOT the O's game... phew.

[abdcskins]

Wow. I had to head out after the Millar HR, but it seems like it was quite an eventful last six innings. I love reading the game threads if I miss some or all of the game, it tells you the whole story ha. I'll do that before I read a recap. It went from elation, to frustration, to anger, to jubilation. Huff with the huge game, he is such a baller. I said he would have a rebound season but I honestly didn't anticipate this. If we keep him I would not be against it(although if we trade him I could totally understand that since his value has to be sky high). Cabrera ejected on some bull****? I'll have to try to find that highlight. Sherrill makes it interesting? Well, what else is new. Hopefully that didn't hurt his trade value. Excellent win. Sweep tommorow would be sweet!

[TheDoyler23]

Cabrera ejected on some bull****? I'll have to try to find that highlight.


What makes it more annoying is the ESPN highlight sets it up like it was intentional. Its a 6-1 game with a runner already on. Its a TERRIBLE time to hit a guy and give the Yanks another baserunner.

It could have changed the outcome of the game on its ear. Cabrera was doing the Cabrera version of cruising (allows base runners, but gets dp's and weak outs and stays effective). It forced Johnson into the game when he wasn't ready and the whole team looked dazed after that. Jones lobbing in Giambi's single to let Arod score was an example of an inexperienced guy trying to get his head straight.

The only ppl involved who thought it was intentional was Fairchild behind the plate and Girardi, who is a hot head and maybe is trying to rile the troops a little. Girardi is a terrible manager. Terrible. How Sexon doesn't hit when the ONLY thing he does is hit against leftys is beyond me.

We'll see if an O gets plunked today. Its a good opportunity as they can warn the benches and perhaps rattle Sarfate a little, who is making his STARTING debut IN Yankee Stadium... oh, and he is from the bronx. So yea... Expect Markakis or Huff to take one today. (Girardi is a prick.)

[TheDoyler23]

Then I got home and had an earthquake. Nothing major. All this could only mean one thing: We are going to crush the Yankees again.

Though 7-6 wasn't a crushing, I'll give this a bump. :cheers:

[pjfootballer]

Let's get the sweep. Let's go O's. Don't back down.

[DCSaints_fan]

Sherill must be in the pocket of MASN. He likes to toy with us and add to the drama, so the O's get higher ratings.

[MDRedskinsFan]

Day game today. Sucks, I look forward to watching the games when I go home at night. Oh well, looks like I'll have to follow this one from work.

[Fletch_Lives59]

I forgot about the day game...I just set my new directv DVR to record the game from my desktop, this thing is sweet.....

[Fletch_Lives59]

man that was quick.. O's 1-0 Huff RBI single

[the burgundy and gold]

Sarfate strikes out Damon to start the game, nice start.

[Fletch_Lives59]

2-1 Yanks...............

Giambi strikes out swinging

[pjfootballer]

Well, crap, now it's 2-1.

[Fletch_Lives59]

A-rod scores on a passed ball...Cano grounds out to 2nd.. 3-1 Yanks

[pjfootballer]

Sarfate is going to struggle. Damn, why can't we ever get a 1,2,3 first inning?

[abdcskins]

Damn, I just woke up I forgot it started at 10:00. 3-1...eh looks like Sarfate gave up 3 in the bottom of the 1st. Alright, come back time!

[Fletch_Lives59]

3 up 3 down for Sarfate, 3 straight strikes to Molina to end the inning

Fahey leadoff single

Roberts singles Fahey to 2nd

Nick singles to center, Fahey scores Roberts to 3rd..... 3-2 Yanks

[the burgundy and gold]

Sarfate looks much better in inning #2.

[abdcskins]

Alright Nick! 3-2. Runners 1st and 2nd 1 out, Huff and bat. Count is 2-0. HR time.

[pjfootballer]

I didn't know Joba the Hut was pitching today. Could there be a more overated pitcher in ESPN's eyes. Damn Huff lined out. Watching gamecast on SI.com since I'm at work.

[TheREALJBird]

I didn't know Joba the Hut was pitching today. Could there be a more overated pitcher in ESPN's eyes. Damn Huff lined out. Watching gamecast on SI.com since I'm at work.

Joba is really good, as much as I hate to say it

[pjfootballer]

8-2. Looks like this one is over for the day boys. Well, 2 out of 3 at NY isn't bad. Prepare for Seattle/LA.

[sith lord]

What happened?

[TD_washingtonredskins]

OH is buzzing because Walker was warming in the 'pen only to NOT enter the game. Then, in the next half inning, Castro pinch hit for Huff.

Some over there think a deal just went down!!

On the field...at least we took 2/3 from the Yanks!

[Fletch_Lives59]

I lost network connection for the last 30 mins...from the box score Burres and Cabrera combined for 2 innings and gave up 7 hits and 7 runs....

Castro did homer in the 8th....

[pjfootballer]

Yankees deal for Pudge Rodriguez.

[pjfootballer]

Read that the Phillies (Gillick) is interested in Sherrill, but they don't have a SS for us. Screw that, get a starting pitcher. Gillick drafted Sherrill when both were with Seattle.

[TheDoyler23]

13-3, how many times did we punt? ;)

Glad I was working...
