It was a terrible call, and it quite possibly cost the O&#8217;s the game. But don&#8217;t take my word for it &#8212; let Jamie <a href="http://masnsports.com/2009/04/angry-at-the-balk-call.html">tell you himself</a> (link includes video):</p>
<p><i>&#8220;It was a one-run game and that&#8217;s the second out. I gave up a rocket ship to center field and we threw the guy out. We pick the guy off, that&#8217;s two outs. I got two strikes on Abreu and struck him out. It&#8217;s still a one-run game if you look at it that way.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if he had money betting on the game or what, but it&#8217;s a horse (expletive) call.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Rocket ship&#8221; used &#8212; amazingly &#8212; to refer to a hard hit ball? Check.<br />
Reclaiming &#8220;horseshit&#8221; in the name of Orioles fans everywhere? Check.<br />
The fact that he pronounced &#8220;Abreu&#8221; &#8220;A-bray-hoo&#8221;? Checkmate.</p>
<p>Man, I don&#8217;t even care if he&#8217;s good or not. I don&#8217;t care that he&#8217;s strictly a situational guy in a bullpen that could probably use another generalist. All I care about is that he keeps talking, because Jamie Walker is <i>bad ass</i>.</p>
<p>He&#8217;ll be fined and probably suspended, though. Whatever. Worth it all the way.</p>
<p>Back to the games with an early start today for <b>Koji</b>. Go O&#8217;s.</p>
