Trevor Cahill will start the first game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Angels, and Rich Harden the second. Manager Bob Melvin said that he wanted Cahill to be able to follow his normal pregame routine ( Read more... )

+ I feel really bad for Jeremy Guthrie - even when the guy throws a great game, he cannot catch a break when it comes to run support. At least Adam Jones kept us from getting no hit again. I'm so frustrated with the Orioles right now, which is a bad sign, because it means I have accidentally let my dumb ass get invested in them again. Clearly, ( Read more... )

Rich Harden threw off the mound [yesterday] for the first time in six weeks, and that puts him several weeks away from potentially being a bullpen option. (It would be longer if he's stretched out to start.)

James Richard passed his physical. Still no word on what number he's being assigned.

I'm pretty sure it will be totally weird if he wears #20 next season.

In other news, I can't sleep - thanks, Criminal Minds. At the risk of giving the (entirely false) impression that I care, why does the resident nerdish longhair on that show wear a peashooter on his...waist? It looks ( Read more... )

+ The Crow: Stairway to Heaven series is inexplicably in reruns on Encore Action on Saturdays at midnight. Man alive, I used to love this show! I once wrote Mark Dacascos a fan letter. True story. 1998!me was such a pre-net fangirl; you just don't even know ( Read more... )

James Richard is avenged! Karma is a bitch, as the saying goes, and everything's bigger in Texas, as the other saying goes. There is a way to treat people, and it's not reserved for people who have had a public drug scandal.

Better luck next time, Wash, Colby, Holland, and these chicks.
