“Is this Have Your Secretary Committed Day?”

91-71.

After last year’s division winning 101 win team, that 91 wins is disappointing. They should’ve also had this division, but they played lackluster ball since the All Star break, especially, the last two months of August and September. Never quite could do well and get hot. Their bats gone cold. Their pitching not up to snuff.

They danced all season with the hated Yankees and let them get ahead in the end. I wished it could’ve been another division win, but that’s how it goes.

There is the post season hosting a wild card series. Maybe this year will be different and they’ll play much, much better in October.

Maybe we won’t be disappointed with the end.

Go O’s!

1975 Topps Brooks Robinson baseball card

Wasn’t just a few posts ago where I reminisced about “Thanks Brooks Day” and my favorite Orioles? It’s with sadness I post about the passing of Brooks Robinson, my favorite Oriole. Like I said, we’re connected just because of “Thanks Brooks Day” back in 1977 which we attended, and it was like my birthday present. It’s just this little bit of connection upon which he became my favorite player. And I had not really seen him play considering he retired just as I became cognizant of sports.

RIP Brooksie. Let’s go, O’s!

Well here we go. Orioles bouncing back Saturday night and throttle the Tampa Bay Rays to creep into first place in the AL East. Then today. Today they come back and win in extra innings extending said lead in the AL East. They are a fun bunch.

I have yet to watch a game all year.

My nephew says he’s getting tickets to the post season. With these wins, the Orioles made it to the post season. If they can eek out the pennant, it will be something amazing. We’ve got about two weeks left of the season to find out.

Let’s go, O’s!

Link of the Day [9.16.23]

Adam Jones was my favorite Oriole maybe even of all time. But really it was Brooks Robinson. You see, Robinson retired in 1977 and we went to his appreciation day on September 17. Right around my birthday. Still he’s a favorite, and Adam Jones, too.

Jonesy was there for the last good Orioles team. He was definitely the heart and soul of the team. He represented Baltimore really well. He’s the best at that. Definitely, the best.

Because the first post of September didn’t follow the rules for News Radio Quote Month, then the first post of the next month, which should’ve been the last post of last month, will be last News Radio quote you’ll get until next year! It’s my blog so these are my rules which I don’t follow.

Anyhow, let’s enjoy idols going to watch baseball games. Here’s Hazuki and Yuna-chan watching a Chiba Lottte Marines game versus Seibu Lions from Saitama. I will enjoy it a lot.

Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!

The numbers came up. Not the lot of them. But enough of them.

I made my money back and that is all that counts.

Actually, I made a profit.

Now what about the taxes?

The World Looks Skateable

An interesting video from Vox about legendary skate spots. I haven’t been on a board in 20 years and I feel like going to these. Seems like, though, that they’re all have been demolished. Nothing stays the same. Like my skating career. It’s history.

To make up for such a lame post today, here’s some action for you. Some skateboard action.

I keep watching these guys bomb these hills and completely worry about them. What about a pebble in the road? Or a crack? Or cars coming their way? What does a wreck look like? I don’t really want that answered. I just want them to make it down in one piece. It’s amazing that they do.
