It’s a hot night in Baltimore…89 degrees. I have typed one sentence and I think we all know how this will go. Let’s check the numbers.
And they aren’t good.
Matt starts the game with a walk and a hit and let’s see how he’s feeling.
Us too. Well then a lot happened but I have a volleyball game to get to.
There was this flyball to left for an out and they doubled off the runner! 2 outs.
Oh wait, you idiots invented replay. Never mind, it’s not a catch. It’s a double and the run scored.
Then there was like a single and a ground rule double and who cares. The point is Matt has nothing, you know it, I know it, I think the Orioles even know it, but it’s 3-0 now and on to the second – but first the face of a man realizing he will never date a model again.
While I was at volleyball Matt pitched 1-2-3 second and The Dark Knight is back baby!
In the third – another 1-2-3 and it’s time to start making t-shirts.
But for Matt Harvey, the magic never lasts. I keep telling Brandon Hyde to use TDK a a “threepener” which is my term for a three inning opener. Get him out.
But Brandon Hyde, not to be confused with actor Bruce Hyde who played Lt. Kevin Riley in two episodes of StarTrek, does not listen to me.
Let’s let Blue Jays Twitter take it from here…

You get the idea.
And this next tweet rubs salt in the wound.

And kids, take a long look as this may be your last.
That man there? He used to be somebody.
Final line on Matt Harvey:
3 ⅔ IP, 9 H, 6 ER, BB, 3 SO. 75 pitches, 50 strikes.
He cannot win. He can lose. His ERA is 7.70.

Will The Dark Knight Return? Or will the Blue Jays be his demise?
Tune in after the All Star Break to see what the Orioles do!
