It’s just a boring sport…
Opening Day 2009
Penultimate Game, 2009
Caught several innings of tonight’s Tigers-Twins game. Didn’t see the win, but was impressed.
It’s October ball. Can’t wait for next year though…

We moved to left field to get some baseball lovin’, but it was rowdy with old, white guys throwing ‘bows as they scrambled for the loose ball. Catch it on the fly.
Penultimate Game of the Season
Just got back from the Orioles game. It’s a WIN! They won’t lose 100 games this season. Close, but no cigar.
We went to the game early. Ate at Faidley’s again. Oysters, fried clams, and crab cakes. Plus a beer. Then we stroll down Howard to Camden Yards and get our tickets. I love that we suck, because you can get any seat in the house. I choose center left against the fence.
We get a beer at Pickles Pub waiting for the gates to open. When they do we collect our Orioles tankard, and wish we could’ve joined the Octoberfest festivities in the picnic area in center field. We go shag some fly balls in the bleachers during the Blue Jays batting practice. I get a ball!! It ricocheted off the back wall and into my glove. Sweet! We then switch up and shag balls near our seat. Nothing comes close as they tail off towards the foul poll.
The O’s win! Can’t wait for the last game of the season. See you there!
Quote of the Day [8.25.09]
“Baseball is 90% mental — the other half is physical.”
Yogi Berra
Bing. You’re free to roam around the country!
Let’s go O’s! Let’s go O’s! Let’s go…. stupid drunk guy!!!!! Fuck the po-po!
And those health benefits? How are they?
Every time I’m at the Yard, I enthusiastically cheer the ballgirls. They always have a cush job, and they’re right there on the field. Most likely the best seats in the house. That is, until the screaming line drive comes your way. Stick out your glove and try to make the catch.
Way to go ZERO-NINE! Over here ZERO-NINE! Throw me the ball!

Went to the final game in the Angels/Orioles series. Loss.
Guy in the bottom of the ninth jumps the fence. Runs to the center field wall and back, but is tackled by the po-po. Hope the beer, drunkeness was worth it.
Cheers to you drunken fan!

Worst Team in Baseball
Here’s something: The Nationals, the worst team in baseball, won their eighth straight game. The Orioles have won only six games after the All-Star break.
Who again is the worst team in baseball?

The Orioles are as pathetic as the team playing against the Gorillas. They give up runs like a rhumba line. We need our own Bugs Bunny!
