Lineups for suspended game
The Orioles didn't make a roster move today. They'll go into the suspended game without any reserves on their bench. They'll also hand the ball to Lance Cormier and hope he only has to pitch the 12th inning.
As if the day isn't weird enough, there's always the possibility that the Orioles score in the top half of the 12th and manager Dave Trembley decides to bring in his "closer." But who is best suited for that role among the remaining available pitchers? Rocky Cherry, who threw an inning yesterday? Randor Bierd? Fernando Cabrera? Kam Mickolio? Alberto Castillo?
Brian Roberts - 2B
Melvin Mora - 3B
Nick Markakis - RF
Kevin Millar - 1B
Alex Cintron - DH
Luke Scott - LF
Lou Montanez - CF
Juan Castro - SS
Ramon Hernandez - C
Lance Cormier - P
For the White Sox:

Thome - DH
Konerko - 1B
Pierzynski - C
Quentin - LF
Crede - 3B
Anderson - CF
Uribe - 2B
Can you find out who the golf pro was [ I keep thinking Fuzzy ] who stopped and asked Hunter to be quiet on live TV or was I an Acid flash back from the 60's ?
The kids due to pop one soon. How can a contender not want Millar, Huff or Payton or Ramone. LEEEEZ needs to change his name back, he's not that important yet. I still hate Dor set. He said it sounded better. What a chump. Great player though.
Do the White Sox have any bench players available? How about their pitchers?
I also wanted to add... it would be good to see if Kam Mickolio could serve as the "closer", and I'm not talking about Kyra Sedwick's "The Closer" on TNT. None of these guys, Bierd, Cherry, Cabrera, or Castillo can be the closer. They don't even have the experience or makeup or the pitches to do it. Only Mickolio seems to fit the bill.
Well, for the Ramon Hernandez haters, at least Ramon is batting 9th. About time! But I don't get Alex Cintron batting 5th?
I expected the Orioles not to make any moves. Why would they? It's like in Mission Impossible, when Ethan Hunt needs to save the world, and he needs to do this one critical thing, he does it! But the Orioles don't do this one critical thing, and it all blows up in their faces in typical fashion. Think of all of the action stars, and then the Orioles is like an action star gone in-action.
