Richar outproduced Juan's 2006, 2007, 2008 (so far) and almost his 2005 season at the dish. Richar in limited time put up .230 .289 .406. But he showed improvement in his avg, OBP, and SLG month over month. You would think that trend would continue which would put him above Uribe's career numbers by the end of the season if he was playing everyday. His obp should be the first stat he trumps Uribe in, which is the most important IMO.

this one may take awhile to complete....and very pleased that I didn't have tickets for this one. Snowflakes coming down here in the North Shore.

38 degrees in the loop.

Better get on top quick. I'd think they'll happily call this one afte 4.5 innings.

that guy is going to be a really good pitcher for a long time.

 

He's thrown about 700 MLB innings and he's never been able to get control of his stuff. I highly doubt he's ever much more than a league average starting pitcher without some sort of minor miracle.

 

He does, however, have the look of a shutdown reliever.

I read that post and thought to myself, "he couldn't have been talking about Daniel Cabrera, could he?"

 

You mirror my thoughts exactly. Cabrera will forever be lucky to have his era under 4.50 in a given year.

rafa...I'm sorry if I offended you, but there were a lot of weight jokes going around and that's what I was referring to. That's why I put "/green." To signify it was a joke.

 

I apologize if you are offended or insulted, but I have to say, I won't hesitate to make that kind of a joke again.

it's approaching 3:10, any new updates? Does TV look like they are getting ready to start?

The lights are on and fireworks just went off

Yuck. I hate to be so similar to Baltimore. I can't believe Vazquez has the same ERA as that guy.

 

The White Sox are scoring more runs than the Orioles, are getting on base more than them, are out slugging them, and are pitching better then them.

 

So yeah, other than the fact that the White Sox are doing everything better, they are quite similar.

Play ball! Roberts out on one nasty pitch.

Meanwhile. 1 up, 1 down.

I love my new avatar. Just sayin

 

 

Good job Javy, a huge key to facing the O's is facing Markakis with no one on base

thataway to start the game javy

1-2-3 inning for the "silent assassin"

excellent 1-2-3

I luuuuuv Javy.

Swish goes down swinging. 1 dead.

Cabrera flies to right on the 1st pitch. 2 dead for Thome.

Thome draws the walk, 1 on 2 out for Paulie.

Is it me or is Cabrera barely a notch above Uribe at the plate?

Cabrera sure does make a lot of outs on first pitch swinging.

If you're pitching today and don't walk anybody, you have an excellent chance of having a stellar outing.

It will.

Huff goes yard, 1-0 O's
