Around SBN: Are The Orioles Bad Or Unlucky With Their Young Pitching?

Open Gameday Thread, 8/27

174246766_ea2fd78204_tiny by Grant Brisbee on in News

If you're going to the game tonight, and you happened to see a person reading a magical textbook -- one that hops around and sings lessons to the reader when he or she is alone -- that was me! Of course, the book wasn't singing at the time because I was around other people. Also, I was not promised that the book did, in fact, hop around or sing lessons. I'm just assuming this because that's what I expect from books for which I pay $100. I should be in for a treat tonight.

And on a totally unrelated note, there's only one way for this contest to end if I am to maintain faith in democracy.

Re: Nennessey
last blown save was that homer to A-Rod on June 23. his only other blown save was on May 9 against the Mets.

I have lost a little respect for the "save" as a stat, however, when I saw that Wes Littleton got a "save" in that 30-3 game the other day.

anybody checking out Tim Alderson tonight?? For the second outing in a row he struck out five in two scoreless innings. Maybe he'll like the "Tim the Enchanter" nickname??

I didn't see any magic, dancing textbooks, but there was a dude who ran onto the field between the 5th and 6th innings. I think that was Grant.

Though I was hoping that when you were escorted out through the Rockies dugout you told Todd Helton that his beard looks ridiculous.

Same here for the attended games win streak. I think we're onto something. We should be at more games. So, if you want the Giants to make the playoffs, everyone should buy groug and me tickets for the rest of the season.

Unrelated to the game, related to the post:

I don't know who to vote for.  I can't vote for the crab as the better mascot cuz he was the worst ever.  That stupid dinosaur is really bad, too.  Lou Seal sucks, as well.

Ugh...I just looked at the results and see that the crab will run away with it.

I remember when I was a kid, I liked the crab.  I always felt sorry for him because he was treated so poorly.  I didn't realize his whole function was to be abused.

Nate Schierholtz had 3 more hits, including a triple and his 16th homer and drove in 3 runs tonight, and raised his avg to .332.

I look forward to his September call-up (though he should be up right now).
