O's win 20-1 Due to corrupt fakey umpires not wanting to see Yanks shut out

[Jimmy Jazz]

Kuroda's outings so far have been: bad, good, bad, good, so hopefully that pattern will continue and they'll get to see bad Kuroda.

No Swisher, no Gardner is good, we'll see if Nunez can play the outfield (Ibanez definitely can't).

How is it that every O's pitcher has the same nickname?

[Jimmy Jazz]

"Irabu" had me rolling.

How is it that every O's pitcher has the same nickname?

They don't.

Sidney "Drunken Fat Moron" Ponson
Steve "Foot In My Mouth" Kline
Mike "I Go Through Eight Different Pitching Motions Just To Throw The Ball A Foot Outside" Gonzalez
Kevin "It Doesn't Matter That I Have Glasses, I Still Can't See That I Suck" Gregg

The list is endless.

[Jimmy Jazz]

There you go!

[Jimmy Jazz]

Swisher would've had that, nice job Raul!

[Slidemaster]

Hammel doesn't have it tonight.

[AntiMoon]

E Chavez?! When was his last HR, 2008? I'm not watching so what does Hammel's stuff look like? Good velocity? Getting his curve over? Or does he have nothing like in Toronto?

[Slidemaster]

Getting behind every hitter. Not as much break on each pitch.

This game is going nowhere.

[Jimmy Jazz]

They're mostly making good contact off Kuroda, just hitting it right at people. Damn Nunez has made like 4 catches.

Hammel looks okay, when he's missing, he's missing down which is always better than getting the ball up.

[Jimmy Jazz]

Throwing too many pitches though, nibbling on a lots of these guys, typical O's approach to the Yankees, scared.

[TravisMoon]

BASE HIT!!!

Adam Jones!

[TravisMoon]

Come on Matty! Hit it with your batty!

[TravisMoon]

neither is the season so far according to your analysis troll

[Jimmy Jazz]

That was a fairly efficient inning for Hammel, need a few more of those.

pitch count at 70? I swear the Yankees are amazing are taking counts to the hilt

[Joy in Mudville]

I can't watch the game because of the mlb blackout but it sounds like the Yanks have been making phenomenal plays in the field.
