August 16th vs. The Orioles

It’s because of games like these that I should keep a Gatorade bucket and a Louisville Slugger close to the T.V.

OK, trying to stay positive for those who want to see some of that…..tonight, Cory Lidle reminded me of someone. Little - as in under 6 feet - right-handed pitcher. A bit of an extra chin on an otherwise normal sized frame. And, his full-wind-up…….well, I’m seeing a little of Greg Maddux on the hill. Of course, Maddux is one of the best pitchers ever and Lidle is a journeyman. But, to the eye, Lidle, in the way he carries himself, now reminds me of Maddux.

And, that’s the most positive thing that I have to say about this game.
