We lost to the Mariners?????
4. August 2008 by Orioles Fanatic.
I have not yet seen Saturday’s game due to other obligations, so I don’t know the outcome. I did watch yesterday’s game. Even though it was a Sunday, it was still the Mariners, so naturally, I thought we would win. I hate to be a broken record, but what the hell!
Perhaps the best part of the game was when HBP narrowly missed hitting a batter. Honestly, I was disappointed when he missed. I want to see him set a record this season. I don’t want him suspended, of course, but everyone knows that the recent suspension was uncalled for. Next time we’re in NY, I hope he “slips” and hits the ump.
It really hurts to be in last place when our bats, and usually our defense, yesterday notwithstanding, are so good. My only comfort is thinking that if we finish the season in the pits, maybe next year we’ll see some of the dramatic pitching improvements that Tampa did this year. My fatalistic outlook suggests that no, good things like that just don’t happen for us.
It’s official. The effects of Cooperstown washed away. I feel demoralized. It would take a miracle to come back now from thirteen games under. The only thing to look forward to now is seeing how high HBP can get his number and defeating the Ys. At least we can still do that. And that, is rather something to be cheerful about.

Bloody Hell
25. May 2008 by Orioles Fanatic.
First, thanks to Wayward O for updating me on the shenanigans of the last few days. It looks like it’s going to take a week of reading to get up to speed.
I just saw last night’s box score. In the words of my husband, “Bloody hell!” I can only assume TRASHchel had something to do with it, or is it TrASSchel?
I won’t be able to watch or hear a game until late next week, so we’re depending on you, Mindpinball, to bring back the mojo to our boys.

What in the…?
24. May 2008 by Orioles Fanatic.
I’d like to pretend that I didn’t see the score of Wednesday’s game at the bar at P.F. Chang’s, or watch the ESPN two-second recap of last night’s game, or see the final score of tonight’s game with Tampa.
What in the hey is going on?
I don’t know if I’ll get a chance to get any news before I get home, but in the meantime, would one of you mind fixing this for me by the time I get home? Thanks!
