O's vs. Dodgers - 6/8!!!

[Nanner]

Today's pitchas!!!

Jason Johnson is coming off the DL - where he's been since April 20, having suffered a chip fracture in his right middle finger - I still don't get how he did this. :confused: (Scraping across the ground? - I just can't picture it!) ANYHOO!!! JJ's pitchin'!

And then there's Ishii.... whoa. :ummm:

Jason Johnson - #16

GO O'S!!!!! :jump: :jump2:
:2guns:

[PissedPrincess]

GO O'S!!!!!!!

[Nanner]

Hiya, Jacqui!!! :wavey:

Thanks!

Hard to predict how this one'll turn out! The O's keep surprising me, so... :notme: ... we'll just see!!!

:2guns:

:ninja:

Sorry about the Sox today, but it looked like everyone played hard. (And the Skanks lost! WOOOHOOO!!!)

[Hurricane Floyd]

Lets go O's.. this might be a hard one against ishii he has been pretty good

[PissedPrincess]

I'm sick of Ishii already.:biggrin: Bordy and GERONIMO are gonna kill him!:2guns:

[Hurricane Floyd]

i dont know atleast it wasnt like ichiro geez.. now thats who i am over and sick of.

[MarylandMan]

Whoa this will be a tough test for our opportunistic offense. We haven't scored a whole lot of runs in a while, so hopefully we can break out and score 7 or so tonight? Ah I wouldnt bet on it with Ishii pitching! Anyway, if JJ keeps us in the game I say we can win it 4-3.

Okay! By the way, this is what you said before last night's game : He (R.Lo) needs a game to rebound, hopefully we can score 5+ runs and he can allow 3 or less over 6 or 7 innings.


:uhoh:

So they didn't need 5+ runs, but you were right on the money with the rest of it!!! (Plus a couple innings!) :biggrin:

So, I'm gonna hold you to your prediction.

:bigsquare

[MarylandMan]

Uh-oh, looks like a rock start for JJ so far... I know its only the 1st inning but second and third with nobody down is not the way he wants to start it out!!! :ohno:

[Nanner]

OHMIGOD! Someone who can give real live information without looking at ESPN GameCast!

Hmmmm. Yikes. Keep me posted.

[MarylandMan]

Follow it on CBS Sportsline... that is a really awesome thing that they do, they tell you what happens pitch-by-pitch.

JJ loaded the bases with 1 out, Roberts scored on a sac fly by Karros. But JJ got the next guy out to get out of the inning with just 1 run allowed.

[MarylandMan]

OH MY GOSH!!! TONY B HIT A 3-RUN HR!!!

:biggrin: I love that guy!

[Nanner]

WOOOHOOO!!!!!!! TONY BATISTA WITH A 3-RUN HOMERUN!!!


:jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump:

[Nanner]

WHOA!!! VERY COOL!!!

I think I'll switch to the CBS thing. GameCast is sort of slow.

Yay! O's lead, 3-2, top of the 2nd!!!

:uhoh:

:2guns:

[Nanner]

So, are you watching this on TV or on the CBS Sportsline?

[Hurricane Floyd]

what happened?

[Nanner]

Tied 3-3, on a two run homerun by Shawn Green in the top of the 3rd inning.

[Hurricane Floyd]

what happened to the play by play?

[Nanner]

I'm making dinner.

But I'm watching the O's game on the computer and the Mets game on TV

It's very confusing.

By the way, Tom Seaver should do his research. He said the O's looked horrible in Sprint Training. TOM!!!! CHECK IT OUT!!! They went 18-7-1, the best Spring Training they've had in years, and they led the American League.

So, Tom Seaver.... I'd just like to say.... :eviltongu

[Nanner]

Bottom of the 5th, Ishii pitching to Geronimo Gil

Dodgers lead 4-3. :ohno:

COME ON, GERONIMO!!!!!! SHOW US WHATCHA GOT!!!

[Nanner]

Geronimo struck out swinging.

Here's Bordy :lust:

COME ON, SWEETIE!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

WAIT FOR YOUR PITCH, BABY.

oops. Don't wait that long. Struck out looking. :kissyou: :itsok:

Jerry Hairston grounds out right back to Ishii.

Nuts.

:ohno:

Goin' to the top of the 6th.

4-3, Dodgers.

[Hurricane Floyd]

your funny nanner lol

[Nanner]

WOOHOOO!!!

JJ sets them down 1-2-3

Ground out to Jerry Hairston Jr.

Ground out to Jerry Hairston Jr.

Fly out to Gary Matthews Jr. in right.

The Juniors workin' the inning!!!

COME ON, TEAM!!!! MM SAID 4-3, BUT HE DIDN'T MEAN DODGERS 4, ORIOLES 3!!!

Bottom of the 6th comin' up!

[MarylandMan]

Hey, I'm back now. I was eating dinner and watching the game on TV for awhile. It's tough for me to watch the game and be online at the same time, the computer is pretty far away from the TV.
And I can't listen on radio while posting, b/c the game got superceded by the stupid Stanley Cup. Who likes hockey, anyway!? :biggrin:

Anyway, looks like my prediction will be wrong once again. I think I better stop predicting before all my credibility is ruined! ;) Revised prediction: Orioles 6, Dodgers 5

JJ just had 2 3-up, 3-down innings. That is a good sign, hopefully he can bring that momentum into his next start.

[Nanner]

*sigh*

Ishii does it too.

Mighty Mel Mora popped out to 2nd.

Brian Roberts popped bunted to Ishii.

Gary Matthews Jr. grounded out to short.

*sigh*

IT'S 2 RUNS YA NEED, GUYS!!!!! THIS IS DO-ABLE!!!!

Baseball players just don't listen to me. :ohno:

[Nanner]

Hiya!!! :wavey: Welcome back, MM! I've been trying to hold down the fort, with a coupla visits from Floyd.

This is a good sign for JJ after being on the DL!!!

Hey! I like 6-5, O's!!!

:biggrin:

[MarylandMan]

Uh-oh. Another Dodgers run...

C'mon guys! Don't let the '02 Orioles be the only O's team ever to lose to the Dodgers!

[Nanner]

:uhoh: WHY'D HE TAKE JJ OUT OF THE GAME?!?!?

:biggrin: yeah i come eveerry once in a while ;)

[MarylandMan]

Uh, yeah. I'm gonna stop with the predictions. At this point, I would not predict an O's win... :ohno:

I question Hargrove's decision to put in Brock. He has not pitched much (if at all) since returning a coupla days ago from his injury... He needs to get back to the game in a situation with much less pressure.

[MarylandMan]

Eh, a 2-run inning for LA. Too bad...

Well it could have been alot worse. I was afraid they were gonna break this one way open! Its still within striking distance, but with the way Ishii has been pitching, I would say we need to get lucky... :ohno:

[Nanner]

Oh-oh. Dodgers 6, O's 3. Top of the 7th. I still think they can do this.

HEY, GUYS!!!! MM MEANT ORIOLES 6, NOT DODGERS 6!!!

I'm still upset about JJ being taken out. Have they said why? Is he hurting?


Whew. Chris Brock got out of that inning with only 2 runs scored. (Only.... yikes. )

COME ON, O'S!!!! LET'S SEE ONE OF THOSE FABULOUS COMEBACKS!!!

[MarylandMan]

Yeah, I think JJ was taken out probably because he was getting tired. Hargrove probably didn't want to let him throw much more than 100 pitches in his 1st game back.

[MarylandMan]

Conine cut down stealing... bad, bad call by Chris Guccione-- he wasn't in position at all. It was a close call, but he was not in position to call Niner out.

Hargrove ejected... he can get pretty mad sometimes! :)

[MarylandMan]

Hey, they're replacing Ishii!! Good job, O's!

Its a success any time you can get a top starter like him out of the game before he gets to 7 innings!

I know it doesnt sound like a big success, but hey, I'm looking for positives here! :biggrin:

That's what I figured.

Whoa! Hargrove ejected? So he was arguing the call, right?

Dang.

But now Tony B. is walked.

OHMIGOD!!! Ishii out of the game!

[Hurricane Floyd]

So you must be happy huh nanner?

Mets are up by 5 :)

and i think hte o's are winning lol...

[MarylandMan]

Double by Cordova!! Second and third, 1 out for Geronimo!!!

Nice job, Geronimo! Sac groundout, run scores. 6-4, Dodgers. Keep the runs coming, guys!

FLOYD!!!! PAY ATTENTION!!! THE O'S ARE PLAYING CATCH - UP!!! AND WE LIKE THAT!!! (Not that they're playing catch up, but that they're scoring runs!)

[MarylandMan]

Crap! 2 run HR for Grudzeilanek! Well, there's always tomorrow... :hmm:

[Nanner]

Oh, poop. :ohno:

You don't think they can come back?

They've come back before.

*fingers crossed*

[PissedPrincess]

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

*PP putting on rally cap*

[MarylandMan]

Oh, its possible that they can do it. I just think the odds are against it. When we've come back before its been mostly 2 or at most 3 run deficits. 4 is so much! But I gotta still have faith.

Come on boys! Sweep those Dodgers outta Baltimore!!

[Nanner]

Hiya, Jacqui!!! :wavey:


Bottom of the 8th, 1 out, two men on (1st and 2nd).... I THINK A RALLY MAY BE IN ORDER!!!!!

:jump:

[MarylandMan]

2 men stranded... no rally :ohno: :pout: :ohno:

[Nanner]

Oh, poop.


Gary Matthews Jr. grounded out to 3rd

Co9 grounded out 59 2nd.

*sigh*

There goes that rally in the 8th!

:ohno:

Well, one more chance..... if Willis can hold them here.

[MarylandMan]

Wow this thread is really long...

[PissedPrincess]

Damn it. There's still the 9th. :angel2:

[Nanner]

WOOHOOO!!! WAY TO GO, WILLIS ROBERTS!!!

1-2-3.

And getting Shawn Green to hit into a double play.

Nice.

:biggrin:

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

[MarylandMan]

Hey guys. Last season the Pirates came back to win a game in which they were down 6 or 7 runs going into the 9th. There's still hope!

(though not much :ohno: )

[Nanner]

It's one of the famous Addicts Play By Plays.

:biggrin:

It's so nice to have someone here joining in! I'm usually talking to myself on one of these!

:biggrin:

(Except Jacqui pops in now and then.) :angel2:

[MarylandMan]

Heheh we're gonna hit 5 pages at this pace... :)

I wish I could post during more of the games... but I'm outta town next Tues-Sat... have fun w/o me!

[PissedPrincess]

I'm watching a Lifetime flick. Popping in during commercials.:biggrin: ORIOLES CAN PULL THIS OFF! I know it!

[MarylandMan]

Game over.... O's lose.... Dodgers beat O's for the first time ever.

Well, at least DodgerDave is happy.

I think the Indians did that against Seattle too, towards the end of the season.

*sigh*

Game over.

Final: Dodgers 8, O's 4.

Well, you're right. There's always tomorrow!

[MarylandMan]

I think we will win tomorrow, if Hargrove plays Gibbons over the slumping Cordova.

Who are the starters?

[PissedPrincess]

:crying2:

[Nanner]

Oh, well. Yes. DodgerDave will be happy.

Tomorrow.


:2guns: :2guns:

Well, MM I'll do a coupla Play By Plays while you're outta town, probably. Give you some reading when you get back. :biggrin:

Jacqui! I love Lifetime movies!!! Which one? Who married whose sister and murdered whose brother and is stalking whose brother?

[Nanner]

Um.... Sid and Perez. Is that Odalis Perez?

Yup. I sorta wished Gibby had been playing tonight.

[MarylandMan]

hahaha. you guys are funny!

[MarylandMan]

I meant about the Lifetime thing.

Uh, I think yeah it's Odalis. If Sidney's on, we should definitely win.

Goin to bed early tonite. G'night, everyone! :wavey2:

Here's what Lifetime was showing in NYC:

At the Mercy of a Stranger
Movie / Drama (1999) 1 hr 36 min NR TVPG
After a woman (Joanna Kerns) decides to divorce her manipulative husband (Stephen Lang), she learns that he has hired someone (Tim Matheson) to kill her.


And before that, tonight, it was:

In the Name of Love: A Texas Tragedy
Movie / Drama (1995) 1 hr 36 min NR TVPG
Murder results when a tycoon (Richard Crenna) gives his grandson (Michael Hayden) an ultimatum: ditch his seductress girlfriend (Laura Leighton) or lose his inheritance.


So how come we didn't get the same thing, I wonder.



:confused: :confused:

[Hurricane Floyd]

I think i saw both of them before.
