O's quest for 60-65 or maybe 70-75 wins or more!!!!!

245

Comments

  • I went out of town for a week and was not able to get the games or updates. Was I ever surprised to see the O's continue the wins and even more surprised at being over .500. I was wondering if it is too soon to come clean and admit in public that I am an O's fan or should I wait a bit longer yet??? CONTINUE TO GO O's !!!!!!!!!!

    Another good pitching preformance. Junk baller Burres had them fooled most of the game. Pitched 8 innings for his longest outing ever.

    46 wins to go.

    The O's are starting to play like people expected them to play. Hopefully the team will turn it around.

    Nice win again. I actually stayed up and watched this one.

    Guthrie finally got his 1st win. His run support has been poor.

    Only 44 wins to go.

    Tough lost in the 10th to the A's.

    We are now at .500. Presently about 6 games above the pace to hit 60 wins.

    the sad part is the O's could have easily won the last 3 losses.

    this is getting crazzy, the O's are getting beat by baserunning and defense which is the area that they should be solid. this better turn around or a lot of guys will be going elsewhere and i think the SS will be the first to go. they have lost 5 in a row and could have won them all, not good

    Finally won again. Cabrera was tough. He has done well this year thus far.

    Only 43 wins to go.

    cabrera looked great, calaban do we keep him or look to trade him at the deadline if there is interest?
    i think him, buress and guthrie may be on the move if possible, which one do you keep?

    Back to .500. Huff- daddy was on his game and Freddie Bynum has been Carew-like for the last 2 games. Trachsel won for the time since April 4th.

    Only 42 wins to go.

  • Sure hope we need to bump the total.

    I'm a firm believe in trading away fat pitchers because they tend to peak and not be able to sustain good numbers for more than a year in a row due to their poor physical conditioning. David Wells is the only big pitcher I can think of that was good (or at least serviceable) almost every year. Barry Zito is filling out nicely and look how his career is going. Livan Hernandez is another I can think of off the top of my head. Injuries also seem to be more frequent in big guys. If possible I'd like to avoid another Sidney Ponson situation. I say sell high.

    Hung on to win . Had 3 run lead after their 1st at bats. Long rain delay. O's hung on for a 6-5 win.

    Go O's.

    Lost today--KC 4---O's (0). We were never really in this game. 2 hits for the offense. Home umpire made some bad calls, even for the Royals.

    We're off tommorrow, then Redsox come to town.

    Only 41 more wins to go. We are 5 games over the 60 wins pace.

  • the next couple of games are going to be a real test. Dare I say "I am thinking maybe .500 this year." That to me would be a successful season.

    Wow, very sweet, come from behind , victory. Luke Scott hit a 3- run homer to cap off a big inning. Then the relievers held on until the end.

    Only 40 more wins to go.

    Great game to complete a 2 game sweep of the Sox. Cabrera with another solid start and Payton showing that he should be playing every day.

    Spanked the Yanks. Olson looked good , throwing that crap to the plate. Could not believe he was in there that long. Could not believe the Yanks couldn't do anything with his junk pitches.

    Back to .500. If any one asked me, if the O's were at .500 at the 50 game mark,I'd have them how was their meds.

    Hope we do well tommorrow.-----Only 35 wins to go.
