BrowserMetrics: 2, Losers: 0
Was at the game for BrowserMetrics’ nephew little league day. Hooray. We come back to win in. I’m the Orioles’ good luck charm as the two games I’ve been to were wins.
Go O’s!
Away Jerseys Say Baltimore
Don’t those away jerseys look awesome. Now if our team was much, much better they would be worthy of carrying on the awesome that is the history of the Baltimore Orioles.
Koji “Kojira” Uehara had a rough night. I think he’ll end up with a high ERA after this game given that he was charged with 7 earned runs in 6 innings. But he’s still 2-0 for the season. Banzaii, Uehara-san!

Thinking of all things baseball. Last night, the O’s survived at the Texas Rangers with Koji “Kojira” Uehara pitching.
It’s funny what you find in anime. Here’s another baseball centric one. It wants to capture the otaku heart as it is about some teenage girls in Japan in the early 20th century. They decide they want to play baseball, but lack the knowledge of the rules or the equipment to play.
Yeah, I didn’t get this from today’s link. I read it on wikipedia.

Yeah, Orioles! The worst is that the last championship pennant is 1983. We may be headed for Cubs territory the way things are going on with the team, the division and the leagues.
First Place, Baby!
I'm still high coming off the Opening Day awesome win over the hated
Yankees. I'm still happy for the new Kiko Garcia, No. 3, Cesar Izturis,
hitting that home run to put the game away. So when I look at the
standings going into the third game of the season and I see an
undefeated, first place team, I'm happy. YAY! I missed most all of last night's game, Koji "Kojira" Uehara debut in
the Orange and Black. I should've gone as the place was only half
packed. Today's game is at 1:35. I love day games. I should sneak out of work.
That would be so fun.Hopefully, we can break out the brooms for a sweep.Go O's!

To coincide with the start of Baseball season, check out Orioles baseball cards at the Orioles Card “O” the Day blog. I’m still waiting for the horrendous all orange mid-seventies uniform to make its appearance.
Quote of the Day [4.07.09]
“The Yankees are used to friendly crowds at Camden Yards, where the Orioles have been also-rans for more than a decade. But this time the park was stuffed with 48,607 boisterous fans, most of them wearing orange and black. They delighted in Sabathia’s struggles.”

Duck season! Rabbit Season! Duck season! Rabbit Season! Duck season! Rabbit Season! Duck season! Baseball Season!
Yesterday was Opening Day for baseball and the FishTank and I went to enjoy the festivities. I got good tickets in left field. Really good tickets because we were at the end of the row, so for all those beers consumed during the game, it was an easy escape to the bathroom. And those lines were long, like lady’s room long. But I digress.
It’s always good to skip out of work in the middle of the day. I would love to do it more. I left around 1 o’clock, so that we could get downtown and grab some lunch at Lexington Market. It seems lots of fans had that same idea as Faidley’s was packed with O’s boosters. Then we walked in the sun to the Yard, bought $4 beer outside the park, and ducked for cover as a shower came through right before opening ceremonies.
We watched our ace, Jeremy Guthrie, outduel CC Sabathea to a 6-1 lead. We watched as the damn Yankees cut that to a 1 run game. I think I drank too many beers, the FishTank also. Then we got an imperfect view of Izzy’s home run to put us in the lead. The ball was coming right at us, Johnny Damon looked to have a bead on it, but somehow, it made it over the fence. The crowd erupted! Everyone in orange and black was high-fivin’ each other. Great thing about the home opener: it was a see of orange and black. The Orioles fans showed up.
Rack up a win for the O’s. We’re in first place, baby! We’re number 1! We’re number 1! We’re number 1!

If it’s September, then it must be that time of year that the Baltimore Orioles baseball team pack it up and head south for the winter. Their record recedes from .500 mark quicker than the falling leaf.
Have they won any game this month? Will they win any?
M A R G E texted me earlier this week that tickets are cheap. They should just give tickets away or at least do a $0.10 beer night or at least $1.00 adjusted for inflation. They would fill that park up with drunks and maybe one would be crazy enough to streak across the infield and hump the second base umpire’s leg.
Well, with the cheap tickets, we should catch at least one more game. Join me won’t you?
