That picture does not do nearly enough justice to Olson's magnificent chin. Weather updates, anyone?

I like the air of mystique that seems to surround Uehara's picture
the dark hat, dark background and face partially hidden behind the glove is a very broody look for Mr. Uehara. The bemused look on his face just makes it more interesting. Somebody in the Oriole PR department passed their Artistic Photography 101 class!

Gutierrez update per Baker
Franklin Gutierrez is out after fouling a ball off his knee last night. He had patellar tendinitis in there since back in spring training and apparently hit the exact spot that had been troubling him.
But he is apparently a lot better today. He’ll sit out one more day to rest the leg, then could be ready for the start of the Colorado series tomorrow.

Based on my analysis of FSN
and of Howard’s commercials over the last 5-6 years this is pretty much impossible. They have gotten progressively worse each year.

Howie Kendrick can hit. A bit above LA in '07 and '08.

by marc w on Jun 11, 2009 4:44 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Right, that's the point.
IF he’s healthy, he’s a better hitter and defender than Lopez. However, that’s been something of a problem for him.
I’m not really sure what I’d give up to get him… it’s sort of amusing to think that Washburn could be the centerpiece of a deal for Howie Kendrick, though. Saying that would’ve gotten someone boxed last year.
