    i think with 17 wins to go in the 1st week of july you should start thinking about a new number of wins. would 81 be too much to ask for???
    or more like 70-75? i think they can go .500 this year.

  • Hey, I picked up Aubrey Huff off the waiver wire last week in my fantasy leagues image working out well thus far. Two solid, young future studs in Markakis and Jones now if only you guys had some good young starters.....
  • baseballfanbaseballfan Posts: 5,458 ✭✭✭
    mis read the standings but the one i looked at today has them both the same games back. so were as good aas theyankees for about a third of teh $$$$, so far

    we have some real good young starter coming they just need to work through throwing the majors, it will come.

    i picked up huff about 2 months ago and had to start him when big papi went down, now i'm not sure i want him to come back.

    Wow, Brian Roberts is our All Star. Good to see Tampa's manager has absolutely no idea what's going on in his division this year. I can think of at least 4 more deserving players (Markakis, Scott, Huff, Sherrill).

    Good Daniel, Bad Daniel. Good Daniel, Bad Daniel.--BAD DANIEL. Good Daniel , please come home.

    Bad Freddie, Bad Freddie, please go home.

  • At least competitive, most I can say. Feels like here we go again, last few years have been the same.
  • calaban7calaban7 Posts: 3,003 ✭✭✭
    Not getting it done.

    I still hope they return to playing well. SS is an issue that needs to be dealt with, hopefully soon.

    WOW, everything you just said is completely wrong

    Terry Francona (aka not the Rays manager) is guiding the AL All Stars and Sherrill is your representative. Brian Roberts is up for final voting but probably has no chance, along with Guillen, considering they're up against Longoria, Dye and Giambi.
  • baseballfanbaseballfan Posts: 5,458 ✭✭✭
    yeah i knew sherrill was going to be the all-star, until very recently he was very very good.

  • Are the O's in that downward spiral that I have been afraid of or are they going to turn start finishing their games. Sherrill may be the an All-Star but, luckily the last few games came after the decision was made. Still hoping for a .500 season but the last few losses have once again put my hopes in check.
    GO O's.

    Yesterday's win snapped a 15 game losing streak on Sundays. They had not won on Sunday since April 6th.

    Tonight its in the top of the 6th and we have an 11-0 lead.

    With last nights win we have only 11 more wins to hit 60 wins.

    Go O's.

    I was at the Monday night game up in the Bronx. After Jones' grand slam, the place emptied out a ton. Place was 1/2 full by the 7th inning....

    Congrats on the string of victories and as the official diplomat of the Rays on these boards.... we thank you image.

    Guthrie had again another very nice outing. It was a 3-1 complete game win , which happened to be Guthrie's 1st major league complete game. A 9th inning defensive replacement , paid off fast , as Payton's leaping catch at the left field wall , may or may not had been caught by Luke Scottt.

    Only 7 more wins till the 60 wins mark.image

    Do we dare to think 81 wins ??? I want to, put I've done that too much over the number of years.

    GO O'S!!!!!!!!!!!

    Went to the game last night and two things really stood out for me:

    1) Josh Hamilton is a really, really good hitter

    2) The O's outfield (LF and CF to be more specific) is a complete mess. Miscommunication, misjudging balls, etc... Hopefully next year we will be able to find a consistent lineup so the guys wouldn't be switching positions every other game. I'd be ok with Markakis in right, Luke Scott in left and Adam Jones in center, but it should stay like that all year. Jay Payton looked like completely lost out there, and Montanez didn't look much better.


  • << <i>Went to the game last night and two things really stood out for me: >>



    I was at the game yesterday as well. First time I can remember an O's shortstop getting booed (he deserved it too!).

  • baseballfanbaseballfan Posts: 5,458 ✭✭✭
    the O's SS really stink this year.
    jones is out for the year he'll be there next year with maybe l. scott but i think they will have another left fielder next year hopefully around the same age as markakis and jones so they can be good for the next 8+ years.

    1 win until 60. I never thought that the O's would muster up this much team play. I've listened to more O's games this year , like I used to when the trees were taller.

    At 59 -- 62 , O's have a slim chance at .500. They have far exceeded most people expectations.
