I can't stand that tool Showalter. He always manages to outsmart himself. It is a pet peeve of mine when a manager looks to extend the lineup by putting a putz in the top of the order. The O's have a good bunch of professional hitters, but Schmucky Buck puts up a nobody (Lough) in the number 2 hole between Markakis and Adam Jones. This extends the order so that hardy is batting 7th. In the meantime, Lough couldn't even put a bunt down after a leadoff hit. Of course, now that I have pointed out the stupidity of Buck's lineup, Lough will probably beat us.
