Orioles Meetup

It’s an absolutely gorgeous day here, one of those days that you can’t help being in a cheerful and sunny mood. Let’s hope it stays that way…

Tonight the Os play the Ys, and wanting a little extra moral support, I’ve arranged for my meetup “group” to gather at a local bar. It’s a little risky to watch my Os in public where I’m supposed to remember, not to mention use my polite words, and we’re playing against most hated team. I fear three things:
1) The bar will be full of nasty Ys fans.
2) No other Os fans will show up.
3) The Os will lose and I will have to listen to a bunch of obnoxious Ys fans cheering all around me.

On the last count, I have another fear, that I may have to tell someone “BYA.” (My friend Jeff and I coined the term from this scene (2:33 minutes in) in Harlem Nights. Warning: Strong language!) Ys fans tend to have that effect on even a peace-loving person such as myself. Just seeing that cap makes you want to kick ‘em.

I’ve already predicted the sweep, so I guess I shouldn’t worry, and if someone has to get his ass kicked, so be it.

I’m just kidding, of course! Kinda.

Wish me luck that I don’t have to channel my inner Carrie Heffernen, and no restraining orders are issued against me. I have to go now to think of a mantra to repeat in case it’s a worst case scenario.

Happy Friday and Weekend!!
