Bump!

I have been there about 10-12 times. The park has great sightlines and the claim of "no bad seats" is not too far from the truth. I really enjoy the seats in the third base area. Reasonably close to the game and nice views of the park and skyline. Also had fun in the nosebleeds, but I was shitfaced so I may not recall clearly.

[strek1]

Now that's funny hit

[Yazdog8]

Just as good as a bunt...

[Hoser Awfulman]

WOW. AWESOMEST THING EVER.

[Sprowl]

A checked-swing bunt down the third-base line. Papi thumbs his nose at the shift.

Box office.

Welcome back to the game thread, Rosie! We missed ya.

Make this pitcher pay Bay...needs to be punished for walking two guys.

[ekogan]

B) When he can hit a HR it usually means everyone else can hit the pitcher as well.

Also C) TV announcers need meaningless patter to fill up dead airtime

[Barbara]

Random question: Where should I tell someone to get seats for a Camden Yards game?

Do you mean where should they sit in the park? Or where is the best place online to purchase tickets?

[TFisNEXT]

Thank you.

[mikeford]

Hooray for Canada!

100 RBI... not bad... for a Canuck

Where they should sit. =P

Come LChat!

[strek1]

I 2 out hits

[Nuf Ced]

Squander avoided thanks to Bay. 100 rbi's on the season.

[SemperFidelisSox]

There is no such thing as a bad seat in Camden Yards.

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Joba the Fatt off to a great start again tonight. We're far enough ahead of the Rays at this point that I feel comfortable in hoping they score 100 off him.

Steinhoisting? I'm guessing Heidi is good at this?

Glug glug glug.

[86spike]

Slightly better first inning than Joba's

[kieckeredinthehead]

Interesting stat. 20-2 when papi hits a HR. What does that mean:

A) He's that important to the offense

OR

B) When he can hit a HR it usually means everyone else can hit the pitcher as well.

Other hitters and the Sox' record when they homer:\:

Jason Bay: 25-6
Youkilis: 14-6
Lowell: 14-2
Drew: 13-5
Ellsbury: 5-1
Pedroia: 7-4

[Reverend]

Jacoby Ellsbury's arm seems to be improving: he's had a few decent throws to the cutoff man lately.

He nailed the weird angle on the rebound too. Kid's coming along.

There is no such thing as a bad seat in Camden Yards.

People don't go to the game to see the park.

[EP Sox Fan]

Paul Byrd......yeeeesh. Watching him pitch is akin to rubbing salt in the wounds caused by watching Smoltz and Penny tear it up in the Naaaaational League.

[strek1]

This is a disturbing start to the 2nd inning.

[TFisNEXT]

2 walks by Bryd is fucking horrible...he's marginal enough when he doesnt walk people.

[Hee Sox Choi]

Get MDC up...

[czar]

Alright; so what does Paul Byrd offer if he can't throw strikes?

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

At least Smoltz threw the occasional swinging strike in the midst of running his WHIP north of 3.0.

[EP Sox Fan]

Two walks to start the inning makes Baby Jesus cry.

[E5 Yaz]

People don't go to the game to see the park.

They go to see the sideline reporters

[radsoxfan]

Disaster inning approaching . . .

[TFisNEXT]

What did Byrd to the BABIP gods?

Holy shit, a ton of bloops against him have fallen in the last 2 starts.

[EP Sox Fan]

Alright; so what does Paul Byrd offer if he can't throw strikes?

An ability to throw batting practice.

[czar]

Even BABIP wants him booted from the rotation.

[Yazdog8]

Two walks and a bloop. Just fucking painful to watch right now.

[CoRP]

oh great. Even a hit off of weak contact. This will end well.

[phragle]

How does "you never have enough pitching" always stand true?

[Brianish]

Disaster inning approaching . . .

OR miraculous escape on short fly-outs. It depends whether this is his first or second outing repeated.

[Sprowl]

Alright; so what does Paul Byrd offer if he can't throw strikes?

It must be his scintillating personality. That, or an HGH connection.

[czar]

What did Byrd to the BABIP gods?

Holy shit, a ton of bloops against him have fallen in the last 2 starts.

The kicker is it's (BABIP) still below .300 in his 2+ starts.

[Brianish]

I'll take it.

[Yazdog8]

Wish we would have had that one batter earlier.

[strek1]

Lucky break there.

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Enjoy the low comedy; neither starter will make it twice through the lineup, and we win the battle of bullpens.

[EP Sox Fan]

[InsideTheParker]

Houdini!

[Nuf Ced]

Something tells me that Paul Byrd is going to need alot more than 2 runs from his teammates tonight.

[CoRP]

Wow. Never thought he'd get out of that.

[czar]

If you had given me 10-1 odds on BAL scoring 1 run or less that inning, I still wouldn't have taken it.

The goal is to stay afloat until the cavalry arrives.

Float, motherfucker!! Float!!
