Game Postponed

With the game technically still going, it would be tough for me to do a game wrap. Since there was a rain delay, I went out and checked out The Dark Knight tonight. (OK, maybe I really was going to see the new Batman movie all along. I had a chance to see it at an IMAX theatre, you think I’m passing that up???) Anyways, the rain has helped me out and now I can catch the last 3 and a half innings tomorrow. Oh, and all the hype about the movie? Legit. One of the best movies, all-around, I’ve ever seen. Having a lot of the city scenes actually filmed on IMAX cameras made it so intense, and I thought the whole movie flowed perfectly. Heath Ledger was flawless as The Joker. Incredible. He should win an Oscar hands down, regardless of his death. He made the movie.

But as it concerns to the actual game, tough break that the Orioles couldn’t get through the Top of the 6th. Although Guthrie had given up a run and had a man at third, he had 2 outs in the inning. When the game resumes tomorrow (at 12:05, by the way), he obviously won’t be able to pitch. Unfortuante that we didn’t get to see the most we could of our best pitcher. It is good that A.J. Burnett won’t be back out there either though, as the Orioles couldn’t do much off him either.

So, as mentioned, they will pick it up in the Top of the 6th tomorrow at 12:05. Lyle Overbay is at third with two outs and Scott Rolen at the plate. It will be interesting to see who Dave Trembley chooses to try and get Rolen out. My vote would be Chad Bradford. Right-handed hitter, one run game, a huge run at third. Still a little early for Jim Johnson, so I’d like to see Trembley go to Bradford. However, since Trembley loves his stone-set bullpen roles, and he only uses Bradford/Johnson when we are ahead, I’d expect Dennis Sarfate or Randor Bierd.

The second game will pick up a bit after the first ends, with Roy Halladay facing off with Daniel Cabrera.
