I'm generally over not being able to watch the games, but this one hurts. Should be interesting.

I hope that we knock Bud out in the first frame. Fuck him.

I certainly hope the Astros win, but what did Bud do to deserve "Fuck him"?

[rhetorical] how is that not a tailor made double play? [/rhetorical]
-
The list of Astros's batting averages on the game scoreboard is kind of hilarious.
-
Wallace ruins Buds perfect ERA as an oriole. Astros 1-0.
-
Another fine play by Dominguez, nipping Hardy on a chopper coming in by the mound.
1-0 Astros after 2.

Hey, at least one of 'em is currently batting above .236...

I'd like to think if JD were still here he would have exclaimed "where's Wallace?" With the crack of the bat
-
First career hit for Hoes.
-
Krause krushes one. Astros 2-0.

Bud threw him a meatball.
-
Paredes with a nice play to his right.
-
Nice to see that Blum, at least, knows who Chuck D is.
-
Lyles just carved up Weiters.

I doubt very seriously he knows who Greg Gross is.
-
Villar error and here comes trouble. One run in for the Orioles.
-
That Machado kid is a ballplayer. Game tied 2-2 on single.

He hit it directly to where Paredes should have been had he not been dicking around holding the runner on at second, a runner completely meaningless in the context of getting the double play.
-
I'm getting the Orioles broadcast team tonight. They're not bad. Crap, Machado with a two run hit to tie the game.
-
SF drives in one more. O's up 3-2.

Yeah, I wondered if maybe Brocail, having just called the infielders in to the mound meeting, specifically told him to shift way over. Shitty luck for Lyles that inning.
-
Roberts gets an RBI off a single. O's 4-2.
-
McClouth knocks another one in O's 5-2.
-
Chris Davis with a solo Hr. O's 6-2.
-
O's fans are 0 for 37 for doing the wave tonight.
-
Hoes sacrifices for an RBI. O's 6-3.

I remember going to Camden Yards once, twenty years ago or more. I went with a friend and if we didn't start before we got on the train we certainly bought as many beers as we thought we could drink in 50 minutes for the ride up. I somehow traded the tickets we had which I knew were in the back of the lower section under a vicious overhang, you couldn't see shit, for a pair of seats on the first row directly next to the visitors' bench. I guess I was the original barter king. Anyway, the A's were in town and we commenced to act like total idiots, shouting at the A's and generally being morons. The highlight was definitely having Jose Conseco flip us off. It wasn't even particularly discreet. He was jogging out of the dugout to take the field and we were hollering at him and he turned around and gave us a prolonged bird in full view of everyone.
Another time I was at a Frederick Keys game with this same friend. There was a rain delay and the local team was ahead and was arguing to have the game called. Marc and I were carrying on like idiots, yelling at the umps, yelling at the Keys' manager, yelling for no particular reason. One of the Keys stepped out of the dugout and addressed me, Do you make your living acting like such an idiot? he asked. Before I had a chance to answer (Why, yes, in fact, I do.) a coach leapt out and grabbed him, pulling him back into the dugout. The game resumed much to our delight and in the end the Keys scored a deluge of runs and set offensive records and basically beat the shit out of whoever they were playing. After the game this same fellow stepped out of the dugout and tossed me a ball, Hey, sorry about before he said and disappeared into the dugout. I obviously tracked him down to get him to sign the ball and to apologize myself after a fashion. Brad Pennington. He got called up later that year and caused a bench clearing brawl in his first appearance in the bigs.

Can't remember the last time a famous person flipped me off.
Some nice defensive plays by Parades and Dominguez this inning.

Both off ricochets off Zeid... Score 'em 1-4-3 and 1-5-3...

O's win 6-3. Oh well.

Not sure about the 'or more', 20th anniversary was last season. Story still holds though. I have a similar Donk Bichette Lefty's Pub story from the 90's.

One of my cousins claims to own the ball of the last home run Biggio hit in the Dome which apparently made its way into Lefty's Pub somehow for her to seize. I believe her, I guess.
I remember going to a game with this same knucklehead in Memorial Stadium in 1991 and I don't remember that the game I'm talking about was the stadium's first year so it must have been 1993. Twenty years. Fuck.

He wears the opposition jersey. That's enough.

Hoes sacrifices for an RBI. O's 6-3.
we squeezed down 4 runs?

What do you call a crappy infield hit where the guy on third scores, but they throw out the hitter at first by 10 feet?

not a sacrifice or an infield hit. FC w/an rbi

I had to look up Brad (no relation to Cliff) Pennington (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/pennibr01.shtml). Quite the odd career for this guy. Pitched 75 innings over the span of 5 years, for 5 different teams, allowing just 67 hits and striking out 83. Unfortunately for Brad he also walked 89 in that time, giving him a rather unhealthy rate of 10.6 BB/9. Only 3 HBP, though.
