I hear you, but this one stands out to me for two reasons. First, when I can't watch, listen, or follow the game online, I check the score relatively late at night. For most of this season, I have assumed/am confident that the O's won the game before I look at the score. I didn't feel like that last year. In many, many past years, I would steel myself for the losing score I was pretty certain I was about to see. Second, the way the team is being built seems so special. The Orioles have had a bad to mediocre minor league system for most of my fandom (really, probably for all of it!). This season has felt special to me partly because it does not feel like a one off. It feels like it's just the beginning.
