  1. This is the biggest problem in professional sports. You have 2 $150 million teams and fans paying $50 per seat, and the entire event is destroyed by some egotistical moron in blue who obviously couldn't call balls & strikes in a t ball game.

    That was the worst strike zone I have seen in a very long time. Chuck Meriwether comes to mind.

    It feels like every week there is a game where you say to yourself, that was some of the worst umpiring I've ever seen. Then next week comes around and you have another horrible ump behind the plate.

  2. Did anyone catch Manny's post game interview? If not it went something like this (not verbatim)

    Machado in post game regarding the home run. Their best pitcher against the best hitter. Hell yeah I won that battle, Mano o Mano let's go. I crushed it. We are fighting for our playoff lives. Every game, every at bat, every pitch so important. We have to play very well and fight every game these last 2 weeks or so.

    On being hit: you know I know what he's trying to do, you can take the high road and hit me lower half or you take the low road and have no class, be dirty and go head hunting. We know it's dirty, they show no class.

  3. I hate when people say "Well, you are only so many games from a wildcard, so you have to go for it, right?". To me the answer there is and should be "it depends". The O's are just 2 games back of that last wild card spot, BUT:

    1.) Toronto is 2 out and just Price and Tulo.

    2.) Tampa Bay is 2 out

    3.) The Rangers are 4 out and just added Hamels

    4.) The Tigers are selling, but are just 3.5 out

    There is always a chance that the Astros or Angels fade, but those teams have been upgraded too. I think the Orioles could sneak in to a one game playoff and need to win that game to really make the playoffs.

    This team doesn't seem good enough to me, but if they land someone like Cespedes now, I might change my mind. Just don't go half in like last year and deal away good players from a depleted system. Go big or go home.

    Well said. If you're going knee deep in the water might as well jump through the waterfall. No half in nonsense.

  4. Thanks again Tony and the OH Crew!

    Had an awesome time meeting new people and seeing a few familiar faces again.

    Me: anyone have any nametags?

    Dip: I have them, but now you're in charge of name tag duty, Dip hands me a stack of nametags

    Me: darn it, I should have gone to Orioles anonymous hang out night, I wouldn't be in this dilemma now

    5 minutes later

    Tony "can I get a bunch of nametags?"

    Me "reach into my pocket only to find 2 nametags" let's just say I should have enough for everyone at pickles and sliders at this time,

    even Cole Hamels dude could have gotten a nametag

    Tony: "you sure you only have 2 name tags left?"

    Me: "there aren't any more left surprisingly"

    Tony "really, could you check again?"

    Me: stop drinking my beers, reach into my pocket and a pile of nametags magically appear

    The life and times of buzzed name tag man, it ain't easy haha.

  5. I'd like to have to ask for more, gang.

    It will be great to see you again my friend.

    Thanks to work, I’ll be a sleep deprived zombie but I would kick myself if I missed an OH hangout night.

    Will be good to see everyone again. Ticket purchased for one but I will be surrounded by many.

    If you haven’t gone and are on the fence, purchase a ticket or 2 and make some new friends. You will have a great time.

    On a side note, anyone from Bethesda want to car pool?
