    Great game by Lackey!! Nice clincher.
  2. a700hitter
    LOL!! Oh okay, I was worried that you might be lacking an appropriate sense of proportion.

    Hey Spud, are you doing the reverse lock thing, because you aren't usually so pessimistic.

    You do realize that I was referring to beard?

    The pubes that you cultivate on your face don't irritate your silky smooth skin?

    I don't think the crop of first baseman is especially thin. Napoli, Kendrys Morales and Abreu is a decent field.

    The O's lineup is more formidable than the Yanks or Tampa. Their starting pitching is mediocre, but their middle relief is better than most teams. Our strength has been feasting on bullpens. The O's pen has beat us the last 2 games.

    I think LOL! I think Doji is right at a much higher percentage. He does often get a little too enthusiastic when a prospect is still playing T-Ball but he doesn't project these guys as stars. He usually projects them as contributors. His evaluation of Nava was pretty much right on with regard to hitting. He might have underestimated his power just a bit, and I don't think he projected his fielding versatility. I for one thought it much more probable that he would be pumping gas this summer that very ably handling RF and 1B in a pennant drive.

    It's time to stop feeding the ego of that smug idiot Showalter and stop this embarrassment of the O's continuing to eat our lunch every September. Showalter is in my top two on my list of baseball idiots. He managed to get fired or quit as Yankee manager when they were on the brink of their great run. Joe Torre came in and won 4 championships in 5 years and is likely to go into the HOF. He forced Steinbrener's hand. He acted like a major jackass after the 1995 season. Then Showalter goes to Arizona and builds up their program and gets himself fired after the 2000 season and the DBacks won the championship in 2001. Oriole fans should look forward to him getting fired. I hate the douche. His biggest victory as a manager has been knocking us out of the playoff spot in 2011.

    I think that we should be able to sign him for a reasonable contract. He is tainted by the medical report on his hip, and I can't see teams giving him a long term guaranteed contract when he has that condition.

    The bunt instead of the steal was a very poor tactical move by the manager and essentially ended any chance of scoring that inning because Drew has really struggled against lefties. He (Farrell) took the bat out of Middlebrooks' hands on a night where he was swinging good. Of course the players win or lose the game on the field. Managers have very few tactical opportunities to affect the outcome of a game. Last night when presented with such an opportunity, Farrell blew, pure and simple. This is not a condemnation of him as a manager. He has done a very good job this season. However, last night, he blew a chance to win the game and he set up failure in that inning. Farrell's strong point is not in game tactical moves, but from what I see he is better than Tito in that regard. You asked how Farrell lost the game. IMO, he blew an opportunity, and managers don't get too any of those.

    Rays won. The Rays kept trying to give the game to the Rangers, but they refused to take it.
  13. a700hitter
    He did push his luck with Morales and got burned. He didn't run Berry. Instead he bunted taking the bat out of middlebrooks' hands (3 hits tonight) and leaving himself with an unfavorable lefty-lefty matchup with Drew. That is when the manager managed to lose the game... right there.
  14. a700hitter
    Johnson blows saves and loses games all over the place, but he gets us 2 nights in a row.
  15. a700hitter
    Why is Victorino out of the game?
  16. a700hitter
    Rangers with a man on second and no outs in the top of the 12th.
  17. a700hitter
    f***ing O's!
  18. a700hitter
    Choker Nathan blew save. Rays tied with Rangers in the bottom of the 11th.
  19. a700hitter
    I am not quite sure about that strategy. He is a base stealer and by bunting him over we took the bat out of Middlebrooks hands and got an unfavorable lefty-lefty matchup with Drew.
  20. a700hitter
    Rays down by a run going to the bottom of the 11th.
  21. a700hitter
    He just sort of serves them up there like he is hitting fungoes.
  22. a700hitter
    How does Naps hit those high pitches so far?
  23. a700hitter
    VA's BF stinks. Jk;)
  24. a700hitter
    VA is not online. I suspect that she is watching this game with the lights dimmed, the sound off and some Barry White playing.
  25. a700hitter
    I think that they should expand the program for the post season as bad calls can change the trajectory of the playoffs. I am not sold that instant replay is needed in the regular season. I am not sure that it is worth the effort.
