Went to see the Orioles two games last week and Jim Johnson blew both games.  The Saturday game was particually painful becuase of the walks. It looked like the Orioles of old out there.  Esepcially with a few bad defensive plays in the field. 

I am going to Wednesday's game.  Hopefully not another blown save.   They are 3-3 in games I have gone to this year.  They need to pick up their effort.

Oday should be the closer.  Or why have a closer at all?  If someone has 50 saves it just drives up their salary.  Have another guy do it each night.

Why not have Chris Davis do it? He seems to do everything else right this year.

Plus, he's got the best lifetime ERA of anybody on the team

It's called a slump.  It won't last forever.

While I think they would prefer to wait until the Super-Two deadline next month, I don't think they have a choice.  The starters have not been as effective as last year and he's mowing down folks in AA - it's time to challenge him and time to give the team a jump start.  When Chen comes back, he can always be sent down to work on a couple of things learned from his stint in the bigs.  He'll finish the season with the squad and be front end by 2015.

Had the most annoying people next to me at the game last night.  They took a million pictures of each other blocking my view, did not pay attention to the game at all.  Never clapped.  Talked constantly leaning forward blocking my view.  Even after I said something about them blocking my view..they stopped for 15 minutes and started doing it again.  They didn't even stand up for seventh inning stretch.  Why did they even go to the game?
