G23: Orioles 5, Red Sox 4 (10)

Red Sox - 010 001 110 0 - 4  8  2
Orioles - 200 100 010 1 - 5 9 0

Example
John Lackey / David Hernandez
Scutaro, SS
Pedroia, 2B
Martinez, C
Youkilis, 1B
Drew, RF
Ortiz, DH
Beltre, 3B
Hermida, LF
McDonald, CF
Lackey (7-10-3-2-3, 111) beat the Birds last Saturday, while Hernandez (5-4-3-3-1, 97) took a ND at Fenway on Sunday.

The Red Sox have won seven of their last nine games. ... What spot in the batting order has the best on-base percentage so far this year? #8. And the worst? #3. (Interesting lineup optimization post here.)

She was fascinated by it and specifically by the use of the different colors as well. talked about that on the way home.

She likes baseball for about 3 innings.

C'mon 11th inning; I'm ready for you. None of these runners, thanks.

allan said...

scoring might hold her interest longer ...

the sox getting more fucking runs and winning some games might do the trick, as well.

allan said...

jeemer worries me a bit.

allan said...

jeemer's last 3 appearances:

2 IP, 7 H, 5 R (14 batters)

laura k said...

She sounds like a great girl. Wasn't she keeping score at JoS1?

Uh... you were at JoS1? You are Karen from Virginia?

I thought it was a coincidence that we had two fans from VA.

Kathryn said...

No, I wasn't at JoS1. I just read about it and looked at the pics.

allan said...

not really three colours, actually. regular black pen to score with, thicker black pen to make lines where pitching changes are or pinch-hitters take over, and red to colour in scored runs.

i have heard some broadcasters use different colours for line drives, stuff like that...

laura k said...

Whew. Glad to hear that.

Not glad you weren't there! Glad my brain did not zap out quite that much.

allan said...

call that pitch, ump

laura k said...

not really three colours, actually.

I was going to say that but I thought you were going for effect.

Still, no white out. You still value me at games, I guess.

nick said...

my memory was hazy on that. I remember her talking 'bout the different pens.

K!

laura k said...

YEAH!

allan said...

whew - mdc vs tuh-hotter?

Kathryn said...

I thought about going to JoS1, but since I had not posted at all it didn't make much sense to show up if nobody would know who I was.

Come on MDC. Shut them down.

laura k said...

Allan uses white out for scoring at home, but I've told him the day he brings white out to the park is the last game we go to together. I know he wants to call my bluff but is also afraid it's not a bluff.

allan said...

i think the first person who emailed about coming was someone who had never commented or emailed me before.

laura k said...

There were at least 3 people there that no one knew, maybe 4.

Kathryn said...

Did they show up?

Kathryn said...

Never mind. That's great. I think that says a lot about the community you have built here.

laura k said...

i think the first person who emailed about coming was someone who had never commented or emailed me before.

In fact that was Karen from VA, who drove up with her husband. She emailed about 30 seconds after you put up the post.

Kathryn said...

A, doesn't the white out bother you? Shouldn't it be green out?

laura k said...

It also says we bought too many tickets!

But thank you, I think that's true. Great people here.

allan said...

i really need some sort of pen holster to maybe hang around my neck for easy access during games, since i don't often have an inside coat pocket ...

that might do it without resorting to whiteout!

Kathryn said...

GET THIS OUT.

Kathryn said...

CRAAAAAAAAPPPPP

nick said...

fucking fuckers.

laura k said...

FUCK

laura k said...

very clean water

fuck a duck

Look, if you really want to be single, there are easier ways to go about it without making an ass of yourself.

allan said...

back in 4th place, as the jays won tonight.

laura k said...

Well, good night all. Tomorrow we win.

allan said...

Dice to the rescue tomorrow.

Kathryn said...

How can 2 of their 5 wins be against the Red Sox??

Kathryn said...

Good night. I enjoyed it.

nick said...

I find making an ass of yourself is one of the easiest ways of being single. Always worked for me.

nick said...

g'night. Won't be around tomorrow eve...1st night of the new Club Helsinki over in Hudson.

Have a good one and enjoy tomorrow's win!

Ha, very true - when you're already single. But when you have a partner, making an ass of yourself just isn't enough!
