The Mariners are coming to Buffalo for this season's first clash between the expansion cousins of '77. (Let's get this up tonight - the Orioles thread is getting somewhat bloated, as often happens after four games.)
Yes, we just saw these guys.
Wrapping up a five game road trip with two games in Miami.
George Springer has been activated from the IL and will be in the lineup tonight, hitting fifth and playing centre field.
The Orioles have been bad since Ubaldo Jimenez pitched to Edwin
Encarnacion with the score tied in a winner-take-all game, while a man
with 47 saves and an 803 ERA+ looked on from the bullpen.
Four games with Boston have created such a huge thread that we'll get this one up Right Away.
Let us, however grudgingly, congratulate Tony LaRussa who has now managed his team to more wins than any man in major league history who didn't actually own the team he was managing.
I'm going to sing that song again, folks. Be ready.
I'm so proud. I remembered that the place where the Cleveland Baseball Team plays its home games is currently called Progressive Field. Didn't even have to look it up (except afterwards, to be sure I had it right. Oh well.)
Still imperial, still evil. Yeah, plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
We're almost done with Dunedin.
The first place Boston group is coming to Dunedin.
The Jays open a ten game "homestand" in Dunedin tonight, and let's hope
this will be the last time. They'll begin playing their "home" games in
Buffalo on June 1 and someday, baby, who knows baby, they'll come and be
playing here for you.
