Moscoso v Humber, have v had. Crisp CF, Pennington SS, Sweeney LF, Matsui DH, DeJesus RF, Barton 1B, Sizemore 3B, Powell C, Weeks 2B, Moscoso P Onion-like headlines in real life. At this point I’d be happy with BATS REMAIN ENFEEBLED BUT A’S WIN ANYWAY

Game 1 of the Jemile Weeks Era 33

Moscoso pitches on two days rest on a 90-degree evening in the Camden Yards bandbox. Oh, this should be fun. Facing ex-Mariner Chris Jakubauskas will be: Weeks, Barton, DeJesus, Willingham, Sweeney, Suzuki, Matsui, Sizemore, Pennington.
