Orioles win, and if the Rangers win tonight

[JohnKleeb]

they go to first place. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Way to win O's.
Bedard is back, Sosa seems to have some power back and Tejada got the big hit.

[enigami]

1. Good for the O's

I like to see them in it. NY and Rangers having a good dust up in texas still 10-9 Texas after 7

[JohnKleeb]

2. I hope the O's continue to to play well

Theres nothing I would love more than to see them in first place on my birthday which is on sunday. Hell they havent been above 500 on my birthday since 97 also the last time they finished first. Anyhow I think the Orioles will get better when Javy Lopez gets back, Erik Bedard is finally back and he pitched great tonight, got a ND but still is a great pitcher.

3. I am still waiting for

when the sports people decide the O's are for real. :rofl:
BTW some here are hoping for a Orioles/Nationals World Series. (Yes we are a bit a head of ourselves.)

[JohnKleeb]

5. In October

The way they talk its like its only the Yanks and Sox, when we get Javy back and some pitching, we will take the East.

[enigami]

4. D'ho

Yankees take the lead 11-10

[JohnKleeb]

6. Fuck

but I got a lot of confidence in that Rangers offense.

[newyorican]

7. That offense has got to face...

the Sandman.

[enigami]

8. he is warming up now

[JohnKleeb]

9. Yep

They got their 3-4-5 coming up who are 7-11 tonight but Rivera is one of the best closers in the league so that may be a bit of a challenge but hes not invincible.

[newyorican]

10. No he's not...

especially with the way the lumber has been swinging tonight.

[JohnKleeb]

11. Yep

and the Orioles won tonight so you know.

[enigami]

12. At this moment in time

Sox, O's and NY tied for first

[JohnKleeb]

13. Wow creepy

I really think this one will be decided on the last day of the year, god if two make it, I just hope one of them is the Orioles, I am sick of being out of the playoffs.

[DaveinMD]

14. but they didn't

the Yankees won. Again. Their Baaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

15. not much of a lead in first place though

like when the third place team can move in to first place on one night, you know its competive.

[DaveinMD]

16. its competitive

but the Yanks have gained a ton of ground in the past week.

[JohnKleeb]

17. They have

Bedard being back is what makes me happy though, hes only had one bad outting this whole season.

[enigami]

18. Damn Good Game to watch tonight

But I doubt either manager was pleased by their team. Will be a fun division to watch.

[DaveinMD]

19. Torre

shouldn't be happy with himself. His team bailed him out again.

[enigami]

20. I know Bernie williams was sure happy they won

BIG E-8 almost cost them the game

[DaveinMD]

22. Bernie

shouldn't ever play center again. He blew a ball in the first too. He cost them 5 runs out there tonight.

[JohnKleeb]

21. Hypothetical here, who would replace Torre should he be fired

Weve seen former Yankee coaches like Randolph go to the Mets and Maz who was I believe your third base coach become ours, PS Maz is the best manager the O's have had since Davey Johnson.

[DaveinMD]

23. I think

it will be Joe Girardi when the time comes. I'd love to have Showalter back but that won't ever happen. Paul O'Neill could be an interesting choice as well.

[JohnKleeb]

24. Giradi is coaching now?

or what, I remember when he caught for the Rockies and Cubs, then the Yanks. I remember Showalter, he got the team on the right track after the mid 80's-early 90's struggle, kind of how Frank Robinson and Johnny Oates did for us.

[DaveinMD]

25. Girardi

is our bench coach. Good night Kleeb. Gotta wake up early.

[JohnKleeb]

26. Oh ok

Bench coaches generally are successors to managers, night, hope you realize that despite being an awoded hater of the Yankees, I can be fair, I dont belive money caused the turnaround.

[DaveinMD]

28. I know Kleeb

you are good peeps. You make Orioles fans look good.

[JohnKleeb]

29. I hate the Yankees with all my heart

but their comeback from the diaster at the beginning was more to with heart than money, now I hope to god they lose tonight of course, but if the Orioles pull away to first and the Twins appear to lock up the wild card spot, and the Sox are closer to second than the Yanks, I want the Yankees to be parasites, I actually wanted the Yanks to win that series this past weekened too, no gain really since we blew the last two games in seattles.
