Am I the only one that hated that squeeze call?? I mean ok..bottom line he should get down the bunt, but Brian hasn't had much chance to bat this year let alone lay down a bunt. I'm sure the only practice he's had with a bat in his hand has been swinging. So let him swing. I know the worse possible outcome happened, but I just didn't like the call to begin with.

 

Oh well...pretty f***ed up game all around.

 

From glancing at the schedule, im seeing June 23rd as the date. Both teams are in town, and have the day on that day.

June 23rd looks like it makes sense.. Sox just getting off a series with the Cubs, Orioles just getting into town for a series with the Cubs.. Both teams off.. though we'll have to travel to the west coast, so that would eliminate the travel day, which kind of sucks.

Meh. Just play the game at noon, and fly out after the game.

Good point. I'm for it! It'd be interesting to see how many people actually show up to see the end of the game.

 

They will resume it August 25th in Baltimore. We will be the home team. At the end of that game, there will be a 15 minute break between that and the regularly scheduled game that day.

 

per PFB on the Score

I can live with that

I am guessing that the game will be resumed in Baltimore with the Sox as the home team and then they will play the regularly scheduled affair. A little birdie told me right before I read the top post.

Should I start worrying about Jenks?

 

I am. I know he got by with less stuff last year, but I just don't see him being a shut down closer for long. His Strkeout to walk ratio is awful.

Does this game thread get suspended and reopened on August 25?

Flashbacks.

Does this game thread get suspended and reopened on August 25?

Yep

 

Starting in the 12th inning.

 

 

Hey, guess who's been in the minors for 10 days after Sunday?

 

Broadway could come up if they DL Wise.

 

He could start the suspended game.

I hope DJC starts for us and can go 1+ innings.

 

BTW- weather.com says isolated t-storms in Baltimore tomorrow.

I only allow this game thread to exist because the game started. I definitely have dibs on game 2 to keep my streak alive.

I have tickets to tomorrow's game at Camden Yards. Anybody know how this works? Should I show up at 7:05 PM as if it were a regular game or should I get there early?

It's going to be either Carrasco or Thornton.

Early and bring us back 2 W's.

Baltimore Sun article on how the O's are going to have to play it:

 

http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/basebal...0,3690801.story

 

Basically, they will have no player bench. They have four or five pitchers left.

 

Here's the boxscore of the game.

 

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CH...200804280.shtml

 

Millar / Huff replacement/ Luke Scott up for the Orioles in the top of the 12th, Quentin / Crede's replacement (Getz likely) / Brian Anderson up for the Sox in the bottom of the 12th.

 

Sox still have Griffey, Dye, Getz, Wise to use, plus Carrasco, Thornton, Dotel, Russell, Ramirez out of the pen.

Thank you, sire.

i think it's bull**** that we have to make up a home game in their park. this game should've been madeup long before tomorrow

If it's a W, I sure don't care. If we lose, then I'll agree with you...

 

How awkward will a walk-off be, where no one in the stands celebrates with the "home" team?

I was just thinkin the same thing.... I really hope we see that!! Do the Sox wear the road uniforms or the home uniforms for the first game? It would sure be silly to change pants after a quick game.

If they wear the black jersey, they only have to change pants.
