IST - Orioles vs. Opponent

[Gwreck]

Ichiro hits an RBI double but is promptly thrown out stealing third.

Orioles seem to have a very good crowd, despite the two hour rain delay.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Eff that opponent, whoever it is. GO O's.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

The fans are chanting 'OPPONENT SUCKS!'

[Fman99]

All tied up, 2-2 in the fourth. I prefer the O's to their opponent.

[Frayed Knot]

Man Weiters is a good catcher.
I don't think anyone we've had here in the last three seasons (or more) makes that play.

[Frayed Knot]

O'(happy)Day !!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Grab some Pine, Arod.

[Gwreck]

Darren O'Day comes in with two on and none out. Gets out of
inning with no runs, ending with a strikeout of Slappy.

[Frayed Knot]

Sabathia has gotten every single borderline call tonight - and certainly every one on 2-strike counts.

[metirish]

That O's reliever is nasty........got to say I like Smoltz but Ripken and that Ernie fella are useless.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Here we go

[Gwreck]

Time for someone to go yard off Sabathia

[metirish]

Fuck.....Martin with a HR

Ernie's call on that HR sounded like a routine two pointer in a basketball game.......

[Gwreck]

[Frayed Knot]

I've had quite enough of Russell Martin HRs this season.
Fuckin' guy hit barely .200 this year and yet nearly 1/4 of his hits were over the fence.

[metirish]

A jam shot according to Ernie is vintage Jeter.....

[Frayed Knot]

Oh waiter, now that I'm done with my HR, I'll have a set of three really shitty hits for my appetizer.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Stupid fucking opponents.

[Frayed Knot]

The stupid fucking opponents have lost the first game to the Yanx and then eliminated them anyway in like 5 of the last 6 series ... so there's that.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Give me a fucking break

Who taught him that passive bullshit he just pulled with Ichiro? RUN OVER THE GUY.

[seawolf17]

For the benefit of the rest of us who didn't see it.

[Ceetar]

what's the baseline rule around the plate anyway?

[bmfc1]

Sometimes I think that the 3B coach isn't necessary. The 3B coach was pumping his arms and Hardy didn't even look.

[Frayed Knot]

Jeez, it's bad enough that the O's hand the Yanx their first (and thus far only) run, but then the Yanx (Jeter specifically) try to hand one back but the O's don't take it.

And then Wieters is all first-pitch swinging and flies out to let him off the hook. That was 5 consecutive two out hit/walks.

[Edgy MD]

Bases loaded, two outs, and a groundout to third.

Vintage Jeter.

I'm embarrassed to ask, being a Baltimoran now, but is the scoreboard in right field at Oriole Park in play or not?

[bmfc1]

Yes it is in play.

[Frayed Knot]

That wouldn't be an error, a bases-loaded ground-out, plus another infield play not made (which should have led to a run) all in a 4-inning span for the guy who always comes through in October now would it?
