Go, O’s!
I know a certain person, who shall remain nameless, that would love to see this happen. Of course, it would suck what with BriBo giving up the number.http://blogbeckett.wordpress.com/2010/11/24/totally-fake-baseball-cards-29-derek-jeters-you-wont-see-in-2011-and-one-you-just-might/jetercardorioles/

I think I am a fanatic for the Baltimore Orioles. You want to know how I know? These are the t-shirts of Orioles that I have and how I acquired them:Adam Jones 10 — bought last year
Matt Weiters 15 — bought this winter from www.mattweiterfacts.com
Koji Uehara 19 — bought last night
Ty Wiggington 23 — free t-shirt night
Buck Showalter 26 — free t-shirt night
Jason Berken 49 — free t-shirt nightI bought two caps this year, too. I usually buy a new cap each season. The second one bought this year is a cool replica vintage cap from the 50s and 60s.And I can't forget to mention, I did get all the mini bobble heads this year.I went to back-to-back games these past two nights once for the free t-shirt (Showalter) and last night to finish out my season ticket plan. That was 13 games, but I didn't go to all of them. I plan to finish out the season with Detroit using up the season tickets I didn't use. I'll have to check the count, but that was at least 16 games this year. They're still not a very good organization and next year is a new year, but I'm ecstatic about our Orioles. Sorry, to the three readers of the blog, for making this a baseball blog, but, well, you know….
Was at the Orioles game tonight and witnessed a beat down of a Toronto team that has owned the Orioles all season. The final was 11-3, but those 3 runs were during garbage time off of some Oriole pitcher I don’t even know.
This is the best the Orioles have played in years. This stretch after the new manager, Buck Showalter, was hired has been phenomenal. They are 26-15. I wished for playing .500 ball under Showalter, and I got it. It’s great watching them at the Yard.
The pitching is there. The starters have been very good pitching into the sixth inning and beyond. Keeping the game manageable. The bullpen aren’t throwing fuel on the fire, but are actually doing there job in minimizing the damage and at time shutting the opponents bats. Koji Uehara has become our closer and just plain deals it everytime out. He’s almost unhittable. The pitchers are jelling and make the games easy.
The hitting is there. Luke Scott showing the big bat. Felix Pie flashing some brilliance with the bat. He’s come out to be a really good player. Adam Jones — adequate. I like that they’re all contributing.
The defense isn’t scary. They used to just suck. Now they are serviceable. Amazing.
I like.

Mom wondering why we’re so high up at Camden Yards?
UPDATE: I love sitting up here at the top of Camden Yards. You get the normal beautiful view of Baltimore and turn around to see the other side you don’t normally see which too is great. There’s a slight breeze up here too. And if you’re crazy enough, you’ll make the jumbotron.
Woohoo! The Orioles are no longer the cellar dwellers of the American League. For now, it’s Seattle who holds that sad, sad title. Sorry, Mariners, but the Orioles need to flew their muscles and show their true selves. At least you can be comforted to know that the second pick in next years draft are a couple of different pitchers.
Can you really believe this? The Orioles are trying to finish the season on a strong note. They won last night for the first time all season against the Blue Jays. I am amazed.
Let’s do this tonight! Go Orioles!
A running conversation between Margaux and me is that she should be around for the baseball games I’ve been going to. She’s missed one hell of a season. It was early season sucking, then middle season sucking, until finally, late season life to make the sucking somewhat bearable. Anywat, I would usually tweet at her during the game and then she would tweet back about her cardboard cutout. This is as close to a cardboard cutout I have of her. Blurry and out of focus. I hope she realizes the fun she’s missing when these podpeople Orioles are causing grief with the hated Boston Red Sox.
