Not-Too-Insane, Kind-Of-Subdued PBP

[Nanner]

Okay, kids. O's vs. Yanks, Fourth of July, from Orioles Park and Camden Yards.

Oops. Missed the beginning. Sidney Ponson pitching, Jeter on first, two out, base hit by Tino, Jeter to 3rd.

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Nanner]

Jorge Posada up, chopper to 2nd, Hairston to Sequi... Skanks go down without scoring. Here come the O's

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[pmeares17]

hey you ARE doing the PBP? ok shoosh http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/smile.gif hahhaha i wont bother. http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/smile.gif

------------------
the journey of a single shoosh begins with a single step.

[Nanner]

No, please, please, please... no one was here when I started... take over! I'll join in! I'm not good at this! LOL! I'm too busy watching to type!

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Nanner]

Okay. I got booted just as I was talking about Brian Roberts hitting streak since he's come up to play for Bordy. So the inning ended with no score.

Now, top of the 2nd, Paul O'Neill on 2nd - a shot to left field. Come on Sydney...

Shane Spencer up. Draws a walk - Skanks two on with nobody out.

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Nanner]

Still top of the 2nd, Scott Brosius flies out. Syd's got a blister on his finger, apparently...

Soriano up... goes to short, Roberts makes the toss to Hairston for one out, can't get two, because he's taken down at 2nd. (Don't do that to Jerry!!!)

Knobby flies out to Bigbie

No score as we go to the O's

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Nanner]

Bottom of the 2nd - no score

Jay Gibbons flies out to Bernie Williams

Tony Battista - back to his wide open stance - down on strikes.

Melvin Mora - (come on, Melvin) flies out to left. http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/frown.gif

On to the third inning.

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Nanner]

Damn. A little break as Sid takes himself out with that blister, and the O's bring in Calvin Madurro (3.38 ERA)

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Nanner]

Jeter up... down on strikes! Woohoo! Go Calvin!

Bernie Williams... hits it hard right past Brian Roberts. Base hit.

Tino Martinez... line drive to Gibby in left... 2 down

Jorge Posada... walked him.

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Addict Sports]

[Nanner]

Still the top of the 3rd, Bernie Williams on 2nd, Posada on 1st... O'Neill up. Whoa. Homerun... 3 runs there. Nuts.

O's - 0
Skunks - 3

Spencer up... flies out to Bigbie (who is this guy? http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/biggrin.gif) in right.

O's coming up. Oops. I've got company. I have to go now and entertain my guests, so I won't be able to do the rest of this Very Subdued PBP which I don't think anyone is looking at anyway. http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/biggrin.gif

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Nanner]

Hey! Somebody's here! http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/biggrin.gif I thought I was talking to myself! Drat. Now I have guests!

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Addict Sports]

That's OK Nanner. I am having guest over soon as well. Thanks for the game so far though!

[Nanner]

And it looks like it's raining in Bal'more. (You know, my guests will just have to entertain themselves for a couple of minutes. They're helping themselves to beers.)

Okay. Bottom of the 3rd.

Bigbie up. (Number 1 draft pick from the 1999 draft. Came up when Chris Richard went on the DL)... grounds out to Martinez at 1st.

Jerry Hairston... (Jr.) http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/biggrin.gif What a hottie. (Okay. I'm a girl. He's a hottie) Hits down the first base line, it's a race to first, Martinez tosses to Clemens, it's close, but Hairston is out. http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/frown.gif

Hmmph. That's the 3rd out. I seemed to have missed the first one

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Nanner]

Damn. Got booted. I just lost my whole top of the 4th. It was good, too.

Um, let's see if I can remember. Maduro hits Brosius, he goes to 1st, Soriano hits into a 5-4-3 double play, and Knobby flies out to center.

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Nanner]

Bottom of the 4th. Still O's - 0, Skunks 3.

Brian Roberts up. Yaaaaay! A lead off stand-up triple! Woohoooo! He's got speed too! (Nice shot of Bordy in the dugout. Roberts is great, but he's no Bordy. http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/biggrin.gif)

David Segui... (Come on, David, drive Brian in)... count full. Woohooo! A bouncer to center, drives in a run!!

They're taking a break now to do some work on the field... it's a muddy mess.

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Nanner]

Okay, break over. Jeff Conine... hot hitter... come on, Jeff. Tie it up. Nuts. Ground ball to Jeter... double play. Shoot.

Gibby's up... swings at first pitch, right to Jeter. http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/frown.gif

On to the 5th.

------------------
I STILL BELIEVE

[Nanner]

Top of the 5th.

O's - 1
Skunks - 3

Jeter hits to center, it falls in front of Mora for a base hit.

Bernie... full count. Bouncer to 2nd, Bernie retired. Can't get Jeter... he had a good jump to 2nd.

Jeter scores from 2nd. Oops. I missed what happened. What happened!? Someone's on 1st, but I don't know who it is. Is that Tino. Damn him. http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/wink.gif

Okay, come on Calvin, get it together. Darn. He walks Posada. (Posada? I'm getting distracted here. My PBP is falling apart.)

Paul O'Neill... w/2 men on, 1 out. Come on, Calvin... get him. Smokes it to 2nd, they got Posada at 2nd, but Tino's on 3rd, and O'Neill's on 1st. Shoulda been a double play.

Shane Spencer... flies out to Gibby in left.

Skanks done, O's up.
