After 7 1/2 innings, it's Texas 24, Baltimore 3

[Oeditpus Rex]

:wow:



FINAL SCORE: Texas 30, Baltimore 3.

I am NOT making this up. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/scoreboard/20070822.html

And now they get to play the second game of the doubleheader. :rofl:



And somebody's already edited Wikipedia to include it as a record for one game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_(baseball)#Team :D

1. Hmm.

I thought the Ravens defense was a lot better than that.

[Shakespeare]

2. BWAHAHAHA

I was just thinking "well, there's another baseball game with a football score." :rofl:

[Initech]

3. Holy crap!

:wow:

And this comes the day after the Angels give the Yankees a merciless 18 - 9 savage beating! :wow:

4. It's now 27-3

Sorry, blowout . . .

[Ekirh]

5. God that's just brutal

And dear lord... they got one more . . that's... so wrong.

[TZ]

6. Well okay then

that might have been one slightly less boring baseball game.....:evilgrin:

7. I like how the end of the segment says "The Orioles Sucks."

Real classy, Internets. Real classy.

8. Does Baltimore have any pitchers left?

I guess the little league 'ten run rule' doesn't apply to MLB. :rofl:

10. They used only four

Cabrera started, went five innings and gave up six runs, all earned.

Then it got bad. :D

• Burres — 2/3 of an inning, eight runs, all earned. ERA jumps from 4.45 to 5.24.

• Bell — 1 1/3 innings, seven runs, all earned. ERA jumps from 6.14 to 7.93.

• Shuey — two innings, nine runs, all earned. ERA jumps from 6.75 to 9.62. But he struck out five. :D

9. The record for runs scored in a doubleheader, before the 2nd game even starts

Amazing!

[KamaAina]

11. And because it was the first game of a doubleheader,

nobody got to leave. :scared: They just had to sit there and watch that.

This may be the defining moment in a decade-plus of O's suckitude. Among the last few games of consequence in which they played, as you may recall, was one involving young fan Jeffery Maier. Mr. Maier is now a fully-fledged adult, having been the all-time hits leader at Wesleyan.

12. I'd forgotten about that kid

And here's another line for Giuliani's political resume:


Meanwhile, in New York, Maier became a minor celebrity. The New York Daily News allowed him to sit behind the Yankee dugout later in the postseason. The boy appeared on national talk shows, including The Late Show with David Letterman, and was even awarded the key to New York City by mayor Rudy Giuliani.
