Kotsay with another "unlucky" grounder to short. If only he was lucky and grounded it between some infielders

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) There ya go Quentin! Made up for that run last inning when Markakis doubled on a ball that should have been caught. How could he catch that? Maybe if he had rockets on his cleats or something.

CQ!!!

Bad baserunning by Wigginton there.

damn that ball took forever to come down, Quentin was standing there flat-footed on the warning track for several seconds.

Rios's swing looking pretty lethargic

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 07:47 PM) I don't get why Ozzie has gone away from the hit-and-run. Seems he's been extremely reluctant to call that lately. In that Vizquel AB, no excuse not to put a play in motion. I hate Ozzie's use of bunts, but he seems to have a knack for knowing when to put the hit and run on. That was the perfect situation for it.

Yeah not really too impressed with Milwood... let's see how he does on the second time around the lineup. Jones takes Gavin deep, his slider didn't fool him. It was actually a decent pitch.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 07:43 PM) So anyone know why I can't access this site anymore w/o a proxy? And interesting to note that Teahen is playing RF tonight in Charlotte. I dunno, one day at work I couldn't access the site anymore, or any Hostgator sites

Bah liner to RF, those are worthless when Markakis is out there

Holy s*** AJ comes through, I thought for sure this inning was over. Let's go Gordon Haha the announcer said "here comes the #9 hitter, but be thee not fooled"

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 07:39 PM) Trying to bunt a 3-1 pitch with no one on and two outs = DUMB BASEBALL There's more or less no time where I ever like seeing Alexei bunt.

Kotsay pops out, must be some of that "bad luck" I wouldn't be mad if he tripled again on his next at-bat.

I remember at an O's game last year talking to this guy behind me while Floyd was pitching, and I started giving him a couple of factoids about Floyd and the guy was like "oh, I know, I caught Gavin in high school." lol. how do you compete with that

O's announcers just cited WHIP, I wish more announcers paid attention to more advanced stats. Stuff like WHIP and OPS should be mainstream.

I love watching Vizquel's old ass go get it like that

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 07:21 PM) Vizquel managed to make Millwood throw 13 pitches that isn't a bad ab, it's a bad result after a great ab. I think it was 13 between him and Pierre

Millwood getting squeezed

The O's announcers point out Pierre is on a 13-game streak... I don't remember him getting a hit last night? I guess I remembered wrong.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 11:36 AM) I have to say that overall the forum admins and moderators are pretty fair here...every time (aside from once) that I've been suspended, I've felt I deserved it...though the suspension lengths seem excessive for what I considered minor infractions. I had to stop posting in the Filibuster, because I'd get suspended about once a month in there. Dennis the Menace ftw

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 07:03 PM) Orioles broadcast again. Wonderful. They're not that bad

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 05:45 PM) One thing that I have NEVER understood is why a technical school education is not given more consideration and value in our society. Me either. Like... it's somehow less than a 4 year degree when it isn't.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 04:48 PM) Huh? Posting the Bush pic was an invitation for someone to post the Obama pic

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 02:23 AM) Yu mean bored with his optimism?? Somebody wanting to see the bright side or ? Not sure what you mean, but I get "bored" with all the negativity and find a positive thread refreshing. Bored with the inevitable holier-than-thou posts that always pop uup, and the "how dare you criticize player x what kind of fam are you, they're winning" posts.

I can't find the supreme court ruling and I'm on my phone so I'm not going to look for it but there is nowhere that says "you must employ x number of minorities and x number of women"
