No wonder we can't win, we don't have anywhere to discuss it!

At least Burnett earned his paycheck this series.

CMH · 04-09-2009, 06:53 PM

I'm just happy that the bats are alive. Hasn't been that way, this early, in a couple seasons.

Nick Swisher needs to start! I'm starting my rally call now.

Kelric · 04-09-2009, 07:47 PM

There goes 0-162.

Swisher is doing it so far, lets hope it continues. Matsui better get going soon, or he'll be riding the bench.

Russ · 04-10-2009, 09:48 PM

Petitte was pretty dirty today, too.

Yes, that was great to see.

Russ · 04-10-2009, 10:07 PM

If Burnett stays healthy, you guys are going to be very good.

CMH · 04-11-2009, 10:25 PM

Swisher!

Russ · 04-13-2009, 08:49 PM

Worried about Wang yet?

Keep him in the bullpen for now. I don't know if his endurance is high enough.

Not yet. I think he's too amped up, too excited. This guy throws a 95 mph sinker and I think it's just asking for trouble early in the season.

I've always felt that he was enormously lucky because of his low K rate, but he's not supposed to be this bad.

In May, his numbers will begin to move toward normalcy. A mid-to-low 4 ERA is all that should be expected out of him.

Russ · 04-14-2009, 04:43 PM

Wang ineffective+inevitable Burnett injury=4th place.

Well, the Orioles look better (at least to us) than they have in quite a few years, so far.

We're going to be bad until June. We have a rotation of Guthrie, Uehara, Eaton, Hendrickson, and probably Bergesen. We need to replace at least 2/5ths of that to be legit.

Not exactly household names there, I grant you.
