Bad result for Anderson there.

We made one good decision today in calling up Wasserman. It's time to call up Owens for Ramirez.

Good jumps by our outfielders today.

That's a good outfielder.

Stealing 3rd with Thome up and 2 outs = STUPID! It doesn't matter, this offense is horrible.

Ugh, Cabrera absolutely, positively sucks! No bat speed at all.

Some great swings by Swisher so far today.

Wow, this would be amazing if he gets away with only allowing one run this inning.

QUOTE (Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 07:53 PM) Well at least Jose didn't walk anybody before the bomb. 89-90 mph on his fastball today....Orioles are starting to tear the cover off of the ball.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) Alexei has explosive bat speed. Eventually the guy will start hitting but he needs to be seeing pitching more often. People are confusing swinging hard with bat speed.

And we're tied. Has Contreras thrown a forkball all game?

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 06:41 PM) i'd rather see alexei at 2B everyday instead of uribe, the drop in defense probably wouldn't be that huge, and alexei actually shows patience at the plate, that's just me though. alexei needs regular at bats, either up here or in AAA, sitting on the bench is a waste. I'd rather see Ramirez in AAA.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 06:29 PM) With Dye out and Crede getting a rest, we already have a Spring Training-esque lineup. I'd rather have PK in there and hope for the best. Yay!

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 07:30 PM) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AJ Throws out a baserunner with the Count pitching @_@ Actually, our fearless announcer forgot it was strike 3.

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 06:19 PM) I dont understand why PK still gets playing time after yesterday... With Dye out and Crede getting a rest, we already have a Spring Training-esque lineup. I'd rather have PK in there and hope for the best.

QUOTE (frankie5angels @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 07:26 PM) I'm with you fathom. I am very disappointed in Cabrera. Terrible trade by KW in my opinion. Maybe it's due to being in his free agent walk year, but I've never seen him try to pull everything like he is now. It has to be the reason why he grounds out weakly to the left side so often.

Wind must be howling out to left field. I'm ready for the Cabrera era to end already.

Brian Anderson!

You won't get a better pitch to hit than that.

How about a hit by pitch here? I don't like Anderson's chances against this junk baller.

Couldn't Ramirez have gotten to 3rd base on AJ's single? If he would have saw where the right fielder was playing, he would have known that would drop.

QUOTE (frankie5angels @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 03:19 AM) We are the worst off speed hitting team I have ever seen. Did Thome really think he was going to get a fastball after yanking a pitch 400 feet foul?

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 02:14 AM) You observe this every game, and you are right. Get well, Richar. How hard is it to go get some bum like Timo or Dan Johnson or Todd Walker. We shouldn't be having our righty scrubs having to face tough righty relievers.

Thome continues to be worthless against lefties at the end of the game. He continues to try and pull everything!

Nice defensive plays there. If one guy gets on, our best hitter comes up.
