The Orioles get 6 of their last 12 games vs the Red Sox, who appear content to tank the s**t out of this season to get rid of Bobby V.

and we close with 3 vs Tampa....that should be meaningful.

- I'm not sure why you'd think they're coming in strong given all the turmoil. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 16, 14:38 42

      - There's a chance that they won't be as bad when they get here. - Krusty Aug 16, 14:47
      - they'll take another meeting at the Palace and beat the crap out of us again. -- nm - Diva Aug 16, 14:44

    - you should be more worried about your pitching keeping teams under 7 runs. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 16, 14:40 34

        Yup. The pitching is why we're still in first. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 14:42 31
        
        You just picked up DEREK LOWE! - groiny Aug 16, 14:45 4
        
        And we shut down Texas for three of four without our #1 pitcher. - Krusty Aug 16, 14:49 1
        
        *ding* to the IM. -- nm - Diva Aug 16, 14:50
        
        and he picked up a save his first time out. -- nm - Diva Aug 16, 14:47 1
        
        I know. I have no clue what your GM does to these guys to get them to pitch that well. - groiny Aug 16, 14:48

        see how you do with no CC for a while. - groiny Aug 16, 14:44 24
        
        They've done well for years propping up guys who shouldn't do much - Will Hunting Aug 16, 14:47 21
        
        This year they're carrying the team and are more than holding their own. The bats are suspect. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 14:51 10
        
        LOL - groiny Aug 16, 14:52 9

        your shitty hitters are tied for the league lead in OBP. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 16, 14:56 1
        
        and in Slugging % and in OPS. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 16, 14:58
        
        Have you looked at other teams lineups in the league? - groiny Aug 16, 14:54 5
        
        I watch nearly every game. They rely on the home run and don't hit well with RISP. - Krusty Aug 16, 14:58 4
        
        I do not disagree with that assessment. - groiny Aug 16, 14:59 3
        
        Oh, I do. Other than CC, these aren't all star guys on the mound. Kuuroda has been much better than I expected. - Krusty Aug 16, 15:04 2
        
        when you lost Gardner, you guys are forced to out slug everyone. - groiny Aug 16, 15:06 1
        
        Ichiro changes the way we play when he's in the lineup. Similar style to Gardner but somehow walks even less. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 15:26

        I ain't going to critique them; they're in first place. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 16, 15:02
        
        ERA is not ideal. Batting Average against is middle of the pack. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 16, 14:51 7

        yawn all you like, you gave up 16 hits today. - groiny Aug 16, 14:53 5

        listen to any analyst, they agree with me. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 16, 14:56 3

        I am just telling you based on watching and listening to the MLB network. - groiny Aug 16, 15:01 1

        oh, I know. I see the numbers. - groiny Aug 16, 14:50
