And I’m Sure There’s Something More Than Memory Across the Maryland Bridge Tonight: Game Thread, Jays at Baltimore

Toronto Blue Jays at Baltimore Orioles, May 26, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
So looks like Alex Rios gets the day off today after starting every game thusfar. According to both Rios and Cito, it's a simple day off, despite Rios being a late scratch. Ricky Romero makes his first start back from the majors tonight after a strained oblique muscle, while Jason Berken, up from AAA, makes his first mlb start for Baltimore.
A slump is one thing, but our offense has been nothing short of horrendous at producing runs over the past 7 games. We've wasted a number of credible pitching performances, so hopefully that comes to an end tonight. Let's go Jays!
Today's title from "Maryland Bridge" by the incredible Winnipeg band the Weakerthans.

Anyone else feel like we’re due for a win? ….Like a Twins-over-White-Sox-style win? …if need be I’ll even settle for White-Sox-over-Angels-style win…

Shit, I'll take a Indians over Rays style win.
If we lose that type of game, I give up.

If its a close game and BJ gets in the game
I’m turning the channel to 2 1/2 men and handing in my Bluejay fan card.

he’s far from the worst I’ve heard, but he tends to simplify things a bit for my taste. He’s more knowledgeable than most, but there’s still some gap between what he thinks he knows and what he actually knows.
I’ve heard people call in with good points (though arguments I disagree with) and Wilner just dismisses them out of hand because they’re arguing something with which he doesn’t agree, so he doesn’t even really listen.

if you didn't mean that
then no reason to get bent out of shape about it. You can just say it’s not what you meant and move along

They could have a Rays-style bullpen collapse
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.

with our offense
it would have to be a pretty spectacular collapse

Just keep walking guys

and the way they're calling that low strike
it’s almost like they could do some maryland style duckpins bowling and still not walk us

I'm predicting a good offensive showing tomorrow
and a Doc-style shutdown making it unnecessary but welcome

I'm praying you're right hugo
but realistically I can’t see it.

Another early game tomorrow...
Probably not going to go to period four then this time.

Lind will not hit a three run homer, Wells will walk, and Millar will crush it to tie the game!!!!

sure why not...
better yet, lose on a unearned run… some kind of throwing error… then having top of the 9th, bases loaded no outs… K the first two batters then fly out to deeeeeep center to end the game

A few comments from a guy who didn't watch the game
Romero’s line was interesting. 12:1 groundout:flyout ratio, yet he gives up 11 hits and 3 HR. How’s that happen?
It appears Rios wasn’t the sole problem for the lineup. However he doesn’t deserve to bat above 6th until he gets a hot streak going. And I’m talking 2+ series of sustained hotness.
I guess you can’t count on Hill to hit a HR every 8 AB (estimate) as he did the first 40 games. Or anybody to hit a HR in the last 7 games. Haven’t had one since Millar vs. Wakefield in the 2-1 loss.
For anyone who praises the value of smallball (although you don’t see many on here), this is what happens when your hitters go cold. The Jays don’t have anyone who’s a threat to do damage at all times…even though Wells gets paid like one.
It really sucks when your hitters all go cold at once.
by ian1432 on May 26, 2009 10:46 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
true and sad
i think Hill’s HR ratio was about 18 AB, but I actually don’t remember if it was 18 AB or PA. whatever. Either way… i think just about everyone is due.

Totally agree. The jays go as Wells and Rios go because they cost all the money.
