Felix Pie pt. two.

[Softbank Orioles]

Reimold is riding the pine again this afternoon in favor of mr. Chavez.

Once again, Nolan performs and gets ****ed.

[durango46]

I read on CBS Sports that Nolan is having neck spasms...

I'm more worried about Wieters being sat down AGAIN....I get the day off after a night game catching wise but why couldn't he DH as hot as he is ?

Thank God Buck wasn't Cals manager......NO WAY he would have set the record

I read on CBS Sports that Nolan is having neck spasms...

this is a typical symptom of a player whose head swells up from the tiniest bit of success.



I'm kidding

I hope he gets over it soon

This should remind people for the hundreth time to not second guess every little decision because we never have all the facts.

Historically, Nolan gets randomly benched for "platoon" purposes.

Who's better, Nolan with a neck sprain or Nick Johnson? Who's better, Nick Johnson or........? Can the guy at least shave that awful stash.

Is Nick sportin' a porn stash again ?

Is Nick sportin' a porn stash again ?

yes...he looks just like a 70's pornstar

Cool. If you're gonna suck, might as well look like a porn star (from any decade) while doing it.

[AntiMoon]

Problem is who is Nick Johnson preventing from being on the team? He shouldn't be playing more than once or twice a week but it's not like we have some stud knocking on the door that he's keeping down in AAA.

[durango46]

I would rather watch you AntiMoon play 1st base

This just In...Adam Dunn just had massive breast implants and lip injections.

How about rotating in a local softball bar league guy to be 25th man replacing Johnson and play DH each of the games when the Matusz/Gregg tandem pitches. The O's likely lose those games anyway and it adds fun watching the local guy swing away. Heck, get the guy to buy and drink a beer per inning too during the game Francona style and enjoy the entertainment.
That way, Petey gets all his minimum salary money back in bar bills.

Make sure the guy is strong, mean, drunk and big. That way he can serve as an enforcer ala NHL to ensure no other pitcher throws at the O's hitters lest they provoke Bubba to come out of the dugout

Johnson is the 25th man on the roster at this point. Flaherty benefits most from the other guy's weak bat by moving up. Starting the season as 25th man, with Andino producing, Roberts hurt and both Gregg and Johnson struggling, it is increasingly likely Flaherty stays in Baltimore all season and meets the rule 5 roster requirement
