  • Three errors in 13th, wow.

    That was a tough inning to watch. Believe me, I am happy the Sox won, but the O's gave that one away.
  • A gift, Hernandez e not a problem, Mora rushing on Ramirez, routine and what a gift the last two runs, ee6.
  • Sherrill likes to make it interesting, gets first two, walks two to bring Manny up as tying run, fly out to right.

    14th come from behind win for the O's. Guthrie's 10th quality start this year out of 13 starts. A whopping ( 2 - 6) record to show for it.

    Only 33 wins to go. O's at ( 27-29) are 6 wins above the pace for 56 games.

    Radhames Liz look great tonight in his 1st this season. Threw a lot of strikes. He had a little help from the offense.

    Go O's.

    Another close game. Olson pitched quite well, and has looked better with each start.

    Only 31 wins to go.

    Hope they drafted well.

    Great win. 15th come from behind win. Another win , from 4 runs down.

    Half way there. Only 30 wins left to go.

    Really tempted to adjust title.---- Maybe O's quest for 61 wins.

    Wow, Guthrie pitched another quality start ( 11 out 0f 14 starts ), but this time he won for the 3rd time.

    Only 29 wins to go.

    Down 6 to 1, came back to win--9 to 6.

    O's now back to .500 at( 33 and 33) .---27 more wins to hit 60 wins.

    O's have 9 more wins at the 66 game mark , than expected for a 60-102 team.

  • Are the loyal fans removing their bags from threir heads and starting to return or did they just want to see the pirates??? Still at .500 this late in the early season. Who would have thunk it??

  • Depends on what team needs, Markakis or Roberts I think. Another nice game tonight.
  • calaban7calaban7 Posts: 3,003 ✭✭✭
    Another (20th) come from behind win. Guthrie pitched another great game , with again , another no desicion. Of the 8 innings he pitched, he retitred the side in 6 of them.

    2-1 win in 10 innings. 2 games over .500.

    i hope its markakis. another solid game last night.

    anyone have any success wiht markakis through the mail??? i sent one a while ago, to the team, and i'm just wondering what my chances are. i love that turkey red card of nick the stick, so i sent the small one.

    Another come from behind win.

    3 games over .500 and 23 wins away from 60. More importantly 43 wins away from their 1st non-losing season in a long , long time.

  • CDsNutsCDsNuts Posts: 10,092
    I'm thinking Markakis or Luke Scott who's also having a great year. Markakis is a bigger name so he'll probably get the nod, but they both have about the same stats and they've both been pretty clutch.
  • baseballfanbaseballfan Posts: 5,458 ✭✭✭
    i think its going to be sherill-23 saves but i hope its markakis

    another win and sweep of the stros, nice

    Another win, although this was was not a come from behinder. O's were the only AL-east team to win tonight.

    With a record of 38-34, O's need 22 more wins to hit the 60 win mark. They must go 43-47 the rest of the way to finish at .500.

    Its only a dream.

    I think Sherrill would be a great setup man for when Ray comes back next year, so I say keep him if he's relatively cheap.
  • baseballfanbaseballfan Posts: 5,458 ✭✭✭
    i think a guy with sherrill's numbers may be very valuable at the deadline, i think they need to look and see what they can get for him, since we still will have walker next year, unfortuntly, from the left side. i don't the o's will be able to deal him this year.

    i hope ray can come back strong

    O's won again. Now they stand at 43-40. Cabrera pitched his second complete game of the season ( the only 2 so far this year for the birds ). Another come from behind victory.

    They must have an absolute collapse to not hit 60 wins. Anything is possible, but not likely.

    Go O's.
