Olson so far
Garrett Olson has thrown 66 pitches in four innings, and the Indians lead the Orioles, 3-2.
It could be a lot worse, if that's any consolation. The game hasn't gotten away from him, but he doesn't exactly hold it with a firm grip, not when he's allowed seven hits and walked one.
Luke Scott just drilled his 22nd home run, a total that probably would have satisfied most fans once the Miguel Tejada trade was announced. The ball traveled 415 feet and landed on Eutaw St., the 19th time an Oriole has done it, the second for Scott.
Tomorrow is T-shirt Tuesday at Camden Yards. The first 10,000 fans 15 and over receive a Brian Roberts shirt.
Roch, who in the history of Camden Yards has come the closest to hitting the warehouse on the fly? How long a shot would that be?

All I know is the shortest distance to the warehouse is reportedly 439 feet. I'll have to check on the other part of your question. - Roch
Roch,
Darn right about Scott. Miggy has 12 HRs, and a .730 OPS. Compared to Scott at 22 HRs and an .848 OPS.
I know that September O's baseball has been tough duty for the last several years, but keep it coming!
Wow, Luke Scott has 10% of HRs hit on Eutaw Street! That's impressive considering how few games he has played at Camden Yards. Who leads that category?

Rafael Palmeiro did it five times - Roch
Didn't know if I'd be able to ask this between now and the end of the season but who is the closer now? Of course it isn't a save situation yet.
Roch,
Do you know if the any of the Orioles went to the Ravens game on Sunday? Just curious if they supported the other pro team.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sure they did, but I don't have any names. Sorry. If I hear of anyone, I'll pass it along. - Roch
