I’m sorry
23. June 2008 by Orioles Fanatic.
I went away this weekend to meet my treacherous cousin who was passing through Asheville. Treacherous because of the conversation we had about the Orioles in which she spat, without warning, something awful like, “The Orioles suck and they always lose.”
Dear Reader, do not hold it against her. She is unconvertible and unteachable. I pitied and forgave her ignorance and you must too. She is from my mother’s side of the family and they are verily lacking in the valuable genetic material that creates an Orioles fan. It is just one of the many tragic genetic disorders that plague the human race and we must live with the hope that stem cell research will advance quickly enough to save these unfortunate misfits.
Of course, never did I imagine that while I was enjoying a weekend away, the Orioles were doing just the thing my cousin prophesied, in all her spite and venom. I suppose I am to blame. I shouldn’t have assumed that I could leave the Orioles unsupervised for a weekend. And, I have new appreciation for the fast forward button on the DVR to speed me through the awful bits. At least Milwaukee ended their losing streak, if they had one.
One note on Saturday’s game. Funny how Cabrera’s HBP count didn’t advance in a game in which he was also batting. Hmm…
Nevermind, every day is a fresh start.
