And, Friday night, May 29, 2009, against Detroit, will be the major league debut of one Matthew Richard Wieters, a week after his 23rd birthday and already an Orioles legend.
Things are looking up in Birdland!

Maybe I'm glad Tillman will stay down for awhile, as to avoid an early debut spoiling the potential I think he has. That being said, I think he's the best prospect you've got for the rotation.
At the same time, I hate the Wieters hype. Hopefully he'll live up to it, but there seriously hasn't been this much hype over a non pitching prospect in a long long time. (Pitchers always get hype, because they are more likely to get starts, etc.)

Unfortunately all is not well in 'the Nation'. I wish our rotation would figure it out. We are supposed to have one of the best rotations in the Majors and the only people who can win games are Wakefield and a very hittable Brad Penny with a 6 something ERA. Ugh. At least Smoltz is a Sea Dog, we'll see how he comes along. I've been begging for Clay Bucholz to have Penny's spot in the rotation, and I'm not sure why he hasn't been called up while Daisuke was on the DL. At least the Bullpen is phenomenal. 6 wild pitches in the game tonight holy shit.
Toronto is falling fast.
