Guest FrigidSoul Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 I predict the Orioles do what the Blue Jays did last year. Nothing? Im going to assume he meant finish in 3rd place. Not exactly. They'll start off real strong because all of their offense is really clicking right now and their pitching is getting by. However when people come down to Earth and its basically left to Sidney Ponson, Tejada, Javy Lopez, and Palmeiro(like it came down to Halladay, Vernon Wells, Carlos Delgado, and Frank Cattalanato) the team will start its decent into the middle of the pack.
Bruiser Chong Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 *gives the Cubs/Reds game some love* We're six innings in and in the middle of a pitching dual. Luckily, Cubs were able to play small ball and score the only two runs of the game as a result of three singles in the sixth. The Reds' mental errors (having no one covering third and Jimenez breaking the wrong way on the Lee groundball) have also helped out.
Guest Anglesault Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Did Manny fucking Ramirez just steal a base? ::Hangs head in shame::
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 To show how much improvement the Orioles have had so far over past 6 years First 10 game Record: 2004 : 6-4 ------- 2003 : 4-6 2002 : 2-8 2001 : 4-6 2000 : 5-5 1999 : 3-7 1998 : 8-2 1998 was the year after they won the Wild Card, and the first year of their 6 years in 4th place. I know its only 10 games but getting off to a good start this year is an improvement over what they've done the last few years.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Gotta love Joverated Posada Edit: Woohoo! Unfrozen Caveman Center Fielder with an RBI single
Guest Anglesault Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Something has to be done about this team. K-Rod is beyond useless. So of course the guy we traded him for is hitting like .400.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 not to mention he gets paid a 1/5 of what A-Hole does
Bruiser Chong Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Moises Alou may have just saved the game with that diving catch. I've always gotten on him for his lack of hustle all around but he's really impressing me lately. I thought for sure that the ball would drop in front of Alou and even when it appeared that he made the diving catch, I thought there was no way he'd hang on. Awesome.
Guest Anglesault Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 God DAMONIT! Suspend the whole team and bring Columbus up to play.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 The Yankees are just lucky that the Blue Jays stink worse than they do or they'd be in last place.
Bruiser Chong Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Baker is insane for leaving Wood in. No way he should've even gone out there for the ninth and now the game looks like it may be in jeopardy.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 I'm surprised LaRue made contact. Woo. Tied game.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 GREEEEEEEEEK GOOD!! GREEEK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bruiser Chong Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Fuck Baker. What a god damn moron. Wood is well over 100 pitches going IN to the ninth and do they bring in their closer? Nope. And now we're down one. Jesus Christ.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Wow, best fans in baseball my ass. 2 straight days of complete garbage. No pun intended.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 the word "Bullpen" is not in Dusty's vocabulary
Slayer Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Yeehaw, Wood blows it and Reds go up by 1 Wood wanting to throw down with the ump was hilarious
Bruiser Chong Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 What a moron Kerry Wood. For what? What should've been called strike three for the leadoff hitter was called a ball. I don't blame him for being upset.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Oh, I'm sorry he isn't getting his normal 5 inch off the plate strike today. Boo hoo, go cry Wood. I'd be upset at your bafoon manager, not the ump.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Lets see if Gravey doesn't blow it today.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 OctoberBlood is slowly losing large amounts of respect.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 OctoberBlood is slowly losing large amounts of respect. From who? Some people on a message board? OH NO! Sosa should have been rung up in the ninth yesterday and did you see Danny Graves acting like a crybaby? Nope.
Bruiser Chong Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Oh, I'm sorry he isn't getting his normal 5 inch off the plate strike today. Boo hoo, go cry Wood. I'd be upset at your bafoon manager, not the ump. I agree that Baker's an idiot and I don't think the last pitch that Wood thought was a strike was actually a strike. Rather, what should've been strike three (which was right in the zone) was called ball three. And Merker only needs to throw one pitch to get the third out. Jesus, Baker, why do you think you've got a pen? I wouldn't trust middle relieve with a close game but the likes of Merker, Hawkins and Borowski are usually reliable.

Guest OctoberBlood Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 You're being classless. No. Cubs fans in Wrigley are being classless.
Bruiser Chong Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Alrighty then. My day is officially soured and how quickly the tables turn when you're a Cubs fan. Oh well. Baker's intelligence (or lack of) is certainly nothing new.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Ok. Three straight days of slight heartattacks for myself. I would love it for our bullpen to pay my hospital bill. Good game Cubs. Man, this series is hot.
