Matusz was cruising but Showalter says that's enough and made the right decision.

QUOTE (johnnymick @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 05:56 PM) Shoulda tried to go home first, I guess you gotta get the guaranteed out though No you definitely go home on that and try to get the home to 1st DP. Neither runner was particularly fast.

Paulie what the heck ?

Well you try to hit it to the right side and get a hit but if you don't get a hit at least you moved the runner over. That's why when you see it happen the guys in the dugout give out 5 highs as if he had gotten an RBI.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 05:46 PM) Why were Hawk and Stone praisin Rios' "sacrifice" there? It's terrible to give up an out there. Because he moved the runner to 3rd base like he is supposed to with 0 outs.

Perplexed why AJ is even in that spot in the order or even the game.

This also from MLB Trade rumors :Carl Everett is still playing baseball, hitting .276 with seven home runs for the Atlantic League's Newark Bears.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 10:33 AM) Yep, he rubbed ornery old Dye the wrong way. Woopdeedoo. Must have been some pretty bad chemistry if we won the division. Who do we get to blame as ruining the chemistry last year? 07? 06? All BS. We gave up on him, dumped him for literally nothing when we could have at least given him a shot to get his value out of the basement. Horrible move all the way around and I'd gamble more money on everyone giving the "well well he was a horrible clubhouse guy!!!! yeah thats it!!!" than him actually being that bad or Ozzie plain not liking a guy who attracted attention to himself (I don't blame him) I like your post in general. Teams win with good and bad chemistry. As a matter of fact the more talent on a team the bigger the ego's the more likely you are to find personality clashes. Think Reggie Jackson/Billy Martin/Thurman Munson. Think Oakland A's of the 70's. Sure it would be just peachy if they all got along but it's not a prerequisite to winning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 06:54 PM) Wow, Pena still in the game. He's got to be. If he makes it through this inning I expect to see him out there again next inning.

Here's the pain in the arse part of the O's lineup.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 06:48 PM) Wow, Viciedo's poor eye cost him there. I really wish he'd only face LHP. Anyone can K on a bad ball just like Pierre , who rarely K's, just did.

Beckham now at .250

Let's go White Sox ! clap clap clap clap clap !

Viceido playing 3rd and 1st in the same game.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 06:18 PM) This is turning out well. Losing the opening game in terrible fashion to the worst professional baseball team around. Not yet. Helluva job Pena ! Let's get to 17 above .500 .

Let's get the DP , get runs and win this thing.

Up higher or in the dirt kid. Sale gone. Roberts and Markasis have been on base all game.

That will sure endear you to Ozzie.

He didn't catch that ha.

Nice catch CQ

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) Thought that was going out, dad gummit AJ....did Harrelson call it a homer? Kotsay with a bad jump, he hesitated, it's not 100% because he's slow, although that's undoubtedly part of the problem, too...should have pinch-run Lillibridge there probably. The Orioles are a different team the least 7-10 days under Showalter. We're not going to storm through them, I wouldn't be surprised if we only won 2/4. Lilli's in the lineup.

Sale and Pena up in the pen.

AJ pretty good w/ 2 outs RISP .344

Runs now please.

9 in a row now from Danks.
