Gunnar apparently has been dealing with a wrist injury most of the season. Add that to the shoulder issues he had last year, and that very well could been why he has struggled so much at the plate this season.

A White Sox loss today means the Orioles made it to the final series of the season still in the playoff hunt. After the disaster this season was, I'll take it.

After the Rockies series, the Boston/Cleveland/Toronto stretch will determine the season. 6-4 through that at worse I think is what the O's can afford.

Moo.

Matt Prader? Yes he's 42, but he was reliable last season and as a one-season stop gap might not be a bad choice.

The O's are 3 under .500, now watch they win today and lose the next 4 or 5 after in a row.

The O's treat Shane Baz like NBA Youngboy treats his kids. No support.

Their starting pitching has been solid too for the most part. Gunnar though, man has he regressed terrible.

Quite possibly the best morning in months outside right now

Rained briefly here at Coppin about an hour ago, now clearing up with patches of blue sky and grey clouds. Oppressively humid though.

Ok, so North Point by Kane will be flooded. Duly noted.

White Marsh

My favorite bit of sports trivia is about him. He's the only player who ever has played for a Grey Cup winner and Super Bowl champion from a team in the same city. He was on the Stallions in 1995 and of course the Ravens in Super Bowl XXXV (and made the very first tackle in that game!)

The AL is a dumpster fire this season

Please be better than KH3. That's all I ask.
