So I guess I'll take the Ross start. Since half the first was done and no one had done it yet.

I didn't want to go two days in a row.

Nice mustache on their pitcher.....dude looks ridiculous.

[awbb]

Catcher interference on 0-2... not much help for Joe there Jose. And a 2 run homer.

[bluestreak]

2 run homer given up. Here we go...

[awbb]

I think the bullpen will have plenty of opportunity to display their improved performance today.

[mitlen]

2 run homer given up. Here we go...

Well, there goes zero and one.

[awbb]

Well, there goes zero and one.

and now 2 and 3...

[mitlen]

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeriste

[KV]

4 runs and nearly 30 pitches in the 1st inning.  Ross.

[NatNasty]

Not the start I was hoping for 

[mitlen]

4 runs and nearly 30 pitches in the 1st inning.  Ross.

The good news is we have plenty of time for a comeback.

[awbb]

I need to keep telling myself that Ross is the 5th starter and we are in a shocking division, it doesn't matter that much, but man. This sucks.

[KV]

He won't go 4 innings today

[aBaltoNat]

When Ross came up I loved him....he's been hard to root for lately because of his results. Seems like a great kid though.

[awbb]

  Less than. He'll get pulled. He'd better. My blood pressure won't take it.

To be fair, as noted before, 1 of those was all on a defence first veteran catcher doin' something stupid.

[KV]

You gotta love the Rollie Fingers 'stache on that pitcher

[mitlen]

Hearings goin' bad ....  I thought Bob said, "Madam Lynn".     

[tomterp]

Nice job, taking one for the team. 

[aBaltoNat]

Nice Lind.

[mitlen]

Nice job, taking one for the team. 

Did someone say, "Guthrie"?     

[NatsAllThe Way]

Ross is liquid garbage.

Ross is Loss
