This video is awesome. Sure was a fun season. Let’s keep it going.
Wow. Just wow.
I bought my first Orioles season tickets for the 2010 season believing that good times were coming. It didn’t turn out that way. The Orioles started bad and continued bad in 2010. They switched out the manager twice. So long Dave Trembley, hello Buck Showalter and his pod people Orioles. They played well to end the season and to give hope for 2011.
I, too, still had hope, so I bought season tickets for 2011. That season started well, then June hit and it turned awful fast. But the Orioles did finish out relatively strong. And it did give us #theLegendOfBobbyAndy Game 162. That stoppage of the dreaded Boston Red Sox gave us hope for 2012.
Once more, I go all in for the Orioles and get season tickets for 2012. This time not too hopeful. The Orioles started out strong sweeping the opening series with the Twins but getting swept by the dreaded Yankees. It seemed we were destined to be terrible. Yet, they kept winning series by series, game by game. By the All-Star break they were competitive in the division although their Pythagoras Number was abysmal, more runs scored against them than they had against other teams.
Last night, they beat the Boston Red Sox and Pythagoras down to earn their 90th win of the season. It’s been a long time for the franchise to have a winning record. And finally, Baltimore has embraced this team’s run.
I used my final season ticket for this year last night with The Seed, and it was one of the best final series season I have seen. (I missed last year’s final tilt because Boston.) The crowd was electric and when Ryan Flaherty hit that first inning grand slam, the crowd erupted knowing that it was going to be a rocking night. Chris Tilman pitched a hell of a game so much so I didn’t know that it was a 1 hit affair. We were jumping and jumping until the final out.
We wanted fireworks, and we got them.
It was a very successful season. I don’t want it to end. I wish I had tickets for the rest of the weekend.
Thanks, Orioles, for the memories.
Oh, yeah! Generic playoff tickets. You gotta love that. Orioles playing whomever at whatever date the game will be played. And these are all so pricy. You should check out the World Series ticket. I cut off the prices, but don’t you know that they cost just as much as my season tickets.
I don’t know if the Orioles go, but we’re very optimistic here.

Madoka, the movie(s). Double feature in the US if you live in the places they’ll show it. Check out the website. I implore you to do it.
“Dude, you slapped a fish.”
Yeah, this is pretty hilarious.
For the first few times I watched this cover of my favorite K-ON!! song, I thought I was listening to Mio. Woah. Now I figured that it’s the girl playing the guitar who’s singing. I couldn’t figure it out because lots of these anime covers featuring a girl in a japanese school girl uniform end up being a guy in a japanese school girl uniform. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but damn, japanese guys with smooth lady-like legs is disturbing. Being slightly attracted to, even more disturbing.
Anyway. A for the cover. A++ for the exposed knee a lower thighs. A+++ for the singing; I thought it was Mio.
iOS 6 has got a panorama mode camera. Here’s where I’ve been locked up for the last few years. I am bored. And I am sick today. Just watching television…
Link of the Day [9.20.12]
Kind of missed Talk Like a Pirate Day. “Arrgh. We’re slowly losing again.” Ba-bump-bump.
Wait. You don’t get it? Pittsburgh Pirates? Hello. Baseball. Look it up.
Anyway, I thought this night’s link was pretty genius in describing how your Baltimore Orioles have ended up scratching and clawing out a slim perch on the wild card slot. If this is close to the truth, then Buck Showalter should be President.

“Hey, stranger!” Follow that up with the equally lame, “Long time no see.”
…
“Back for a few days?”
Only just visiting. They asked me to spend a few days in town, but I’ll be going back home soon.
“Strange. You don’t call here home anymore. How is it there?”
Lovely. Love the place. It’s home now.
“Home is where the heart is…”
…
Don’t we remember that it was only a few months ago that I moved? It was to follow my heart. To give it to the one who told me of love. Showed me love. Tells me of love. It’s what I wanted. It’s what I get.
Two days until home.
“…”
“Well, at least it was good to see you. Stop by again sometime soon. Don’t be a stranger.”
There’s nothing left to say about Gangnam Style. Or is there? Doesn’t that guy in the elevator remind you of Mike Myers? The Korean Mike Myers!
Does K-pop rule or what?!
