Cool! Taking my nephew from Albuquerque (Big Isotopes fan : ) to the game. Not sure if the Target Field experience can compete with the Topes home turf.

[Boom Boom]

Hmmm... if you're going to start Doumit in the outfield, wouldn't you be better off putting him in right and moving Revere to left?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Morneau is hopeless against a tailing breaking ball from a lefty.

[snepp]

Goooooooooooooooooooo Plouffe!

[DPJ]

Morneau down to a .753 OPS...hot damn his contract can't end soon enough.

"Watching" this one on GameDay. It doesn't look like Mr. De Vries is fooling many of the Oriole hitters--lots of long fly balls and one that the park couldn't hold.

I'm watching the game. He's not fooling most hitters. A bad sign on the first trip through a lineup.

That homerun was a moon shot.

What are you talking about...he hasn't walked anyone. He's pitching great!!

[sbknudson]

This could get ugly quick.

[Brock Beauchamp]

No outs, two runners on base, Casey At The Bat.

I don't have a good feeling about this for some reason.

[DPJ]

Thome might hit the Target Center in this at-bat.

[Ultima Ratio]

Nice pitching adjustments Cole. That's great to see.

[sbknudson]

That's his first ground out of the game.

[USAFChief]

The top and bottom of the strike zone seem to be guesswork at best today.

[USAFChief]

Nice catch by Dozier. That's a tough play.

[Ultima Ratio]

Uh... there's no way Dozier should have to make that catch, but since "ankle weights" Doumit is in left, he couldn't get there to call him off. Worked this time, but playing with fire with Doumit in the OF.

[sbknudson]

Good at-bat for Casilla - kept himself in there and finally got the sacrifice.

[Ultima Ratio]

Atta babe Casilla!
