Today's lineup (and more)

Roberts 2B
Payton CF
Markakis RF
Huff 3B
Hernandez C
Scott DH
Millar 1B
Montanez LF
Castro SS

Waters SP

Roster move: Shows how much I know. The Orioles did not bring up Brandon Fahey to provide infield depth in the absense of injured Melvin Mora. The club called up Oscar Salazar from Norfolk and sent out Radhames Liz, though Liz will simply be re-activated on Monday when the rosters expand.

Rotation update: Liz will pitch on Tuesday night in Boston. It appears that Garrett Olson will come up to make the start on Monday at Fenway Park.

Peter, any idea who Salazar replaced on the roster? Mora DL?

Pete's reply: Sorry, they sent out Radhames Liz, but he'll just hang around until Sept. 1 and return to the roster. Totally a paper move.

Welcome back Oscar! If we can get Millar out of the lineup maybe we can win some games 10-9.

When will O's bring up someone with a real chance to keep them in a game?

Pete's reply: Hopefully Monday.

About Peter Schmuck

Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
