Rangers Defeat: Yawn
10. April 2008 by Orioles Fanatic.
So what have we learned? To avoid double-headers in Texas.
Is my enthusiasm dampened? Not at all. Okay, yes, a little bit. I didn’t want us to lose again ever, but somewhere deep down, I knew it had to happen. No matter. One day, two losses, but losses that were reasonable losses. We showed up. We played well. Each day makes us stronger and more experienced.
The stinking Red Sox and Ys are creeping up on us, but we’re still in first and we ain’t moving.
I said, we ain’t movin!
Edit: This post was written without the aid of Xanax, which happily, was never needed.

Double-Header Strikes Fear
10. April 2008 by Orioles Fanatic.
I don’t know about you, but when I heard the words “double-header” with the Rangers, I poured a beer, turned the bottle of Xanax on its side and sprinkled out one precious little pill into my palm, and set them both on the end table in easy reach in preparation for a potential record-breaking emergency.
I arrived home too late to see anything but the last three innings. Even though we lost, I’m proud of our Orioles. The Xanax remains on the end table wondering if it will be called into action during the second game.
Yes, I’m sad that our winning streak has ended and I’ll be really sad if we lose first-place, but it’s been a wonderful, enjoyable start to the season, so we have to appreciate the goodness we’ve had so far.
