dc. Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 And while it's been true for three weeks that "by the end of this series they could be in last place in the division" ... that hasn't happened. In fact, they haven't even dropped out of 2nd place. They pulled their shit together. They could have folded like the old O's and we could have seen a 10 game swoon. In this case, they got back to back 7+ inning performances from their starters and managed the win. Heaven forbid we actually acknowledge that. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 They were in 3rd for a day. Everyone else except the yukees is floundering too. Quote
vmax Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 Hey...they cameback and won a game that they tried to give away. It counts. Counting up to 82.... Quote
papasmurfbell Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 They should sell though. There is no shot of winning the pennet or the WS. Live to fight another day. Fix the farm system. Quote
cravnravn Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Pennant is a far reach, but never say never on the world series, they are still in contention for the wild card. Quote
cravnravn Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Bats + Pitching = WINS Dam it yesterday, I called Direct TV and tld them I moved in April, so why am I getting billed for the NFL Ticket..Bottom line, I got it for free..But they must have changed something on my acct, I dont have MASN anymore..Dam it.

Spen Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Good win tonight. Not a lot of offense but the starting pitching was good and the bullpen was excellent. Quote
vmax Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 Thome is warming up...Tillman and Johnson did the job on the mound...4 in a row! 50-44..... Quote
cravnravn Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Yanks have lost 3 in a row, O's have won 4 in a row, Thome has homered in back to back games..And the O's are 1 game out of the wild card. Quote
cravnravn Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I stand corrected, the O's are tied for the last wild card spot, Forgot they expanded it to two wild card spots this season. Quote
vmax Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 Amazing we can still talk wild card talk.Just let me see 82 wins. Quote
Spen Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Who knows, maybe that comeback win against the worst team in the league last week gave them some confidence for the following series........ Quote
cravnravn Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 All is it takes is for 1 guy to get hot..Maybe Thome blasting 2 over the weekend kinda gave them a kick in the pants. Quote
vmax Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 I heard on the radio that the Ravens didn't have 51 wins untill August 27th last year.They are very much alive in the wild card hunt and have some control on this at the moment because they are playing Leaveland and Tampa who are right on the O's heels in the race.

Damn, the Ravens had a great year last year! Quote
vmax Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) You can see what's on my mind! OK...I get today's something wrong award. Edited July 23, 2012 by vmax Quote
cravnravn Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Pretty cool watching the game on Tampas version of MASN called SUN Network..Bunch of homers, I swore the bottom of the 9th would relive some of that O's Magic, but Markakis, Weits and Jones looked lost at the plate..Loved how they pitched away from Tomme, chickenshits Quote
Spen Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Hmmm, three losses in a row and Papa hasn't chimed in with how he knew they were going to fall apart all along......Is he sick? Quote
papasmurfbell Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 No not sick. Just watching them do what I was expecting them to do. Quote
vmax Posted July 26, 2012 Author Posted July 26, 2012 OK...got the win today. Davis had 4 RBI's and Jones had 2. Worried about Oakland comming up...they are hot right now. Quote
cravnravn Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 The homers from Tampa were on fire pre game, I think I counted 22 times "Sweep" was said by them...Not so much post game though. 1 1/2 games behind in the wild card.. Quote
Spen Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 No not sick. Just watching them do what I was expecting them to do. Thank goodness, I know that some of the few things you like doing besides nay saying and pessimistic predictions is posting "I told you so"s. I thought you were ill or possibly grew up. Glad you are still the ass you have been and will probably continue to be. Enjoy. Quote
Spen Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Well that one sucked. And was pretty entertaining. A couple of nice comebacks marred by some poor untimely pitching. Oh well. Quote
