I miss you, Jimmy Paredes. Former Astro who just hit the walk-off, two-run double in the bottom of the 11th to win the game 2-1 for the Orioles. So clutch with two outs also. It looked like the Yankees were going to pull it out after Chris Young went yard again.

I love Paredes, but it seems like his fielding is holding him back (and that is a big deal-breaker for Showalter). He single-handedly lost us a game a couple weeks ago with fielding errors.

If he develops his leather to makes plays like his wood, look out.


6 wins in a row would be fantastic, but 5-1 is nothing to cry about (even though i still might, fucking Yankees)

You guys are right. I do remember him playing a lot of sloppy defense.

How are you guys liking Bud Norris? He's dominating tonight.

He has been much better than I thought he'd be. I thought he'd give up a lot of HRs, as fly ball pitchers tend to do in a small park like Camden Yards. He's been a stopper though.

Ironically, I thought the Cubs got a much better deal for Feldman (Arrieta and Strop) than Houston for Norris (LJ Hoes), although Norris was the better pitcher. I knew Arrieta would turn it around; all he needed was a change of scenery.

Was an amazing game to be at, but the ending was obviously less than ideal for me. The game ended right at 5pm, so aside from the stadium traffic while leaving, we hit rush hour traffic.

4 hour drive home (usually only 3 hours), in which I found out that Peterson is inactive this week and may be royally fucked. I had the #1 pick in my only single league this year, and now my team is severely messed up rolf.

Terrible sports day for me yesterday

Finally finished watching this game on my DVR

O's the new comeback kings... feels good to finally do to the Yankees what they've done to us for soooo many years

The Orioles have that magic right now. Seems like every game lately is coming down to a walk-off win.
