It is so difficult as an Orioles fan to watch Ubaldo Jimenez pitch. With 16 walks in his past three games over 14 innings, we all owe Mitch Williams a big apology for going along with calling him “Wild Thing.”
Here are some Tweets tonight from Orioles fans dying over the sight of this continual walk on the edge of disaster …
Drew: After tonight's game, most of the #Orioles take the subway to their hotel in the Bronx. I'm guessing Jimenez walks back.

This is one of those games that's not really fun to watch, you just kinda suffer through it. #TheOrioleWay #Orioles

If reincarnation is real, Ubaldo Jimenez will come back as a seeing eye dog. You know, because he walks so many people #orioles

OK, so when does uBBaldo Jimenez get on the half-season hot streak the O's paid for? #orioles

Ubaldo is giving me flashbacks to Daniel Cabrera. Not cool Ubaldo, not cool. #Orioles
