    Happy birthday, Cesar Izturis.

    For me, his most memorable game for the Orioles was a game in which I was at. It was Opening Day 2009, and the Orioles were playing the Yankees with their newly acquired free agents Mark Teixeira and C.C. Sabathia.

    Early in the game, we were up big. But then the Yanks came back to within one run, at 6-5. In the bottom of the 8th inning, we had a runner on first base, and up stepped Izrturis. Izzy sent a ball to deep left-field. The person behind me yelled, "Get out. PLEASE, get out !!!" About a second and-a-half later, O.P.A.C.Y. erupted when the ball just barely cleared the wall. Our precarious 6-5 lead was suddenly a comfortable 8-5 margin, Sabathia was taken out, the Yank relievers continued to get pounded, and we had our big Opening Day win against Sabathia, Teixeira and the Yankees ....... possibly the biggest win of that entire 2009 season for us. :)

    That was off Phil Coke. Sabathia was already out.

  3. Love to watch Jeopardy whenever I get the chance, but lately it seems like Alex Trabek has upped his smugness factor even moreso. You don't know all the answers, stop acting like you do!

    I definitely agree with this.

  4. I think it's nice that WWE understands that social media can be very effective. And I love social media. But my goodness, it is so over the top it is annoying as hell. They announce everything that is trending, various star's twitter followers..ENOUGH!

    It is painfully annoying.

    It would be a lot cooler if they kayfabed on their twitters. If they used it to advance storylines, it would be very interesting. No, I am not interested in their personal lives.

  5. That reminds me: What was your biggest mark-out moment ever?

    Because mine was -definitely- the debut of Brock Lesnar.

    When Hulk turned down Million Dollar Man's offer to buy the WWF Championship for a million dollars. That was awesome, brother!

  6. I just explained MLB roster rules to my girlfriend, including waivers, arbitration, minor league free agency, the rule 5 draft, option years, international free agents, buscones, Cuban defectors, the Japanese posting system, and the importance of scouting and development. She actually acted interested the whole time. That's love right there.
