Self-Seving Open Thread, Part III

The rubber match between the Immovable Object and the Irresistible Force. Okay, okay maybe it's just the Orioles vs. Giants. Still, this game is important to Kris and myself. Tim Lincecum is pitching today for the Giants which is always a must see. Lincecum struggled throughout most of May, but pitched well against Oakland last Friday. I'm anxious to see if Lincecum will look like the normal Timmy or the guy we saw in May. Feel free to join Kris and I but don't be a troll or I will ban you. The game will be broadcast on the MLB Network at 12:35 PM PT/ 3:35PM ET.

  1. Scott Moore hurt himself in BP, so the O's will play Julio Lugo's carcass in his place. The very definition of Orioles Tragic.

  2. Bochy had to ruin the mood and sit Posey and play Rowand today.

  3. I'm gonna call a 3 hit shutout for Lincecum this afternoon

  4. @Kris: I'm just hoping the Giants give Lincecum more than one run of support.

  5. Too bad you don't get MASN. You missed a stirring discussion about average middle reliever Jason Berken making the AL all star team

    ReplyDelete
  6. Not as bad as discussion about Uribe making the All-Star team.

  7. @Keith facing the O's is a late birthday gift for Timmy from the schedule Gods

    ReplyDelete
  8. -1,000,000 for bringing up the fact the O's passed on Lincecum to draft Billy Rowell, who is in his 4th straight year of not dominating A ball

    ReplyDelete
  9. @Kris: Stacy over at Camden Chat said she would delete any comments mentioning Rowell over Lincecum.

  15. Miller doing a Darth Vader impersonation. I've never heard that one before or thought of Miller as a Star Wars fan.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Dammit Molina. Move your fat ass and block the ball.

    ReplyDelete
  17. damn. that might have been the Orioles best chance to score

    A Jon Miller Darth Vader impression? I have to admit I'd have liked to hear that

    ReplyDelete
  18. well, that's the definition of Orioles Tragic

    ReplyDelete
  19. of course Huffdaddy wouyld kill the O's

    ReplyDelete
  20. The Giants have the worse base runners. Between the double plays and useless outs.

    ReplyDelete
  21. wow. not sure if that's on the Panda or Uribe. of course it doesn't matter. this game is over.

    ReplyDelete
  22. The Giants have given up a lot of outs this season in creative ways.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Listening to Jon Miller on that Jones/Uribe/Panda play was incredible.

  28. from roarfrom34

    Jon Miller better be careful commenting on Adam Jones' muffed play in center field. He might get fired.

    ReplyDelete
  29. @Keith 1:19pm he just wanted to know where Timmy scored the pot

    ReplyDelete
  30. You can score pot from the Bay Area all the way up to Vancouver.

  39. bad play by the RF letting Izturis get into scoring position

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh, this Lincecum has decided to show up.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Damn, this is a large crowd for a day game.

    ReplyDelete
  42. That is what makes Lincecum special. Gives up three straight hits, doesn't panic, then strikes out three straight batters.

    ReplyDelete
  43. that is the perfect summation of the Orioles season

    ReplyDelete
  44. Come on, Tim. Treat Adam Jones like a Canadian border guard would

    ReplyDelete
  45. of course Lugo would come up in a tough situation

    ReplyDelete
  46. don't get excited. it was just Julio Lugo

    the O's have the most hits v Lincecum this season? I would never have bet on that.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Inconsistent Lincecum is inconsistent.

    ReplyDelete
  48. People are losing their minds, trying to get excited over signing Jake Fox

    ReplyDelete
  49. From Orioles Tragic:

    Guthrie and Lincecum are pranking us all by switching places. Guthrie's pitching like Lincecum, Timmy's pitching like Guthrie.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Lincecum has no problems facing the top half of the Orioles lineup, it's the bottom half.

    ReplyDelete
  51. oof. I hope Lincecum is all right

    ReplyDelete
  52. Whoa! The ball hits Lincecum and they still throw out Tejada?

    ReplyDelete
  53. That's the 2nd time this week Huff and Uribe hit back-to-back home runs.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Back to back jacks. Ballgame.

  56. Bochy pulls Molina for Whiteside while Posey is on the bench? Send this guy to the unemployment line with Trembley.

  59. interesting they're going for a 5 out save w/ Wilson

    ReplyDelete
  60. I'm thinking the Orioles find a way to win this game

    ReplyDelete
  61. Giants have played with fire all day. They're eventually going to get burned.

    ReplyDelete
  62. 2 more LOB. why do I keep watching these guys play?

    ReplyDelete
  63. of course. now the Giants are about to put the game away

    ReplyDelete
