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

Open Thread: ALCS Game Three

Following games at Tampa Bay with final scores of 2-0 and 9-8, it's unclear what it will take to go up in this series that is currently tied one win a piece. Jon Lester, arguably Boston's best starting pitcher, gets the call against Matt Garza, who has the stuff but can be erratic - especially in the fourth inning, which has been his personal Waterloo this season.

First pitch is at 1:37pm PDT. The starting lineups:

Iwamura - 2B
Upton - CF
Pena - 1B
Longoria - 3B
Crawford - LF
Aybar - DH
Navarro - C
Baldelli - RF
Bartlett - SS

Ellsbury - CF
Pedroia - 2B
Ortiz - DH
Youkilis - 3B
Drew - RF
Bay - LF
Kotsay - 1B
Varitek - C
Cora - SS

GO DEVIL SOX!!!!!

I get to watch today’s game because it’s a holiday – yay for super-hottie Christian Columbus!!!! (Or do we now call it Indignant People’s Day?)

P.S. I should be studying for a retake of my Braids quiz but I think we both know that’s not gonna happen!

Edwin Jackson...

was he the name that kept getting floated around in potential Hudson trades with the Dodgers, years ago?

Thank goodness we got Dan Meyer instead.

He *did* save Hannahan's life.

Who knows if Jackson would’ve done that.

When Hannahan made that catch in Baltimore(?)

and flipped over the dugout rail, Meyer was the main guy who caught him. So he kind of saved his life, I guess.

Yeah.

I lack the outline skills though. I wing my papers. Do just fine with them too. I HATED my freshman Eng. class, when the prof required us to do outlines. But then, I really don’t like most humanities classes in general (some exceptions).

I should probably get amped up on more caffeine.

Few things:

- Cupcakes’ socks are appearing as insanely bright red on my TV. Does anybody else have this problem?
- “gloves, grabs, and guns” sounds like a book by Jared Diamond.
- Turned on my TV and the first word I heard: “fisted.” Who needs Cialis?
- Keys to the game: “Joe Blanton can be wild.” WTF? The guy with a career 2.5 BB/9 mark?

Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.
