My first Orioles game was in 1991 at Memorial stadium. I watched Mike Mussina pitch, and I remember finding the game somewhat boring because it was 1-0 until the 7th, when I think we left because it was a weeknight. I was 6 years old. A year later I became an absolute fanatic of Camden Yards, after going to my first game there in 1992 against the Oakland Athletics. I still recall that game with a crystal clear recollection, as if it were one of the transcendent moments of my life...you know, like, a first kiss, or a wedding day, or a first child being born...I remember a few years and a good few (45 min, or worse, depending on traffic) trips to Camden Yards later when our english teacher asked us to think of a sort of 'happy place', a place we felt spiritually connected to, and the first thing that came to mind was Camden Yards. Throughout my adolescence I would pester my parents to make as many trips to Camden Yards per season as possible. The last 7-8 years it's been harder to follow the O's because I live don't live in the U.S. any longer, and games start when I'm typically asleep, but I owe a lot to the OH to keeping me connected to the team, where otherwise my connection might've faded all together.

Elaine pumped about her boys, George and Jerry perhaps a little inordinately sympathetic to the cause.

Walker to Delmarva, Delmonico to Frederick, Townsend to Bowie? Or is that rushing Delmonico? I'd like to see what Walker can do at a higher level; I don't think there's much surprise he's hitting NY-Penn league pitching.

Maybe Paul Goldschmidt is a good comp. for him?

Honest question: do you guys think the Blue Jays have a better team than the O's this year? Everyone seems to be quite high on them as an org., but from what I can tell, I'd take the O's MLB talent over the Blue Jays'. That's just a layman's take, hence why I ask you all.
