I voted don’t like it. I am very big on team chemistry and did not want anyone traded.

What happened to the pitcher? I turned away a few minutes and in the middle of the at bat is a change?

We have never needed to stay over in the city but there is a Hilton right by the ballpark that is an easy walk to the Inner Harbor. I would go by your and the hotel’s availability to determine when. Just don’t pick games with the Yankees or Red Sox their fans take over our ballpark and they are so obnoxious. A short drive or you can take a water taxi to Ft. McHenry which is where the Battle of Baltimore took place that inspired Francis Scott Key to write our National Anthem. Also a short drive away is the Maryland Zoo it is small but nice. At the Inner Harbor on one end is the National Aquarium. There is the World Trade Center you can go to the top. There are also historic ships the USS Constellation, a submarine the Torsk, a ship right by it called The Chesapeake, and a coast guard ship you pay one fee and can tour them all 4. Also paddle boats. There is also a sightseeing cruise. Some restaurants as well. And at the other end is the Maryland Science Center. Not far from the Maryland Science Center is the Visionary Art Museum. I don’t know if they still offer them but they used to have ballpark tours at Oriole Park. There are also art and other types of museums close by. About 30 minutes or so away is Annapolis. You can tour the Maryland State House for free just need to show an ID. You can also visit the Naval Academy must have 2 forms of ID and that is free unless you take the tour. There is also a sightseeing cruise and shops and restaurants. Hope all of this helps.

I also was baffled pulling Adley. Unfortunately it does not matter. We put up a good fight.

Cleveland beat Boston!

I was trying a reverse jinx. I actually like the Rays they are the only other AL East team I am rooting for. The Jays are actually growing on me since they do not have the obnoxious players anymore.

Jeez you would think we are playing the Yankees. These no name pitchers always pitch like they are Cy Young winners against us.

What a great way to end a game a strikeout of that ahole Donaldson.

Unfortunately I dozed and missed our guy pitching woke up just as he was walking off the mound. I then dozed again and missed the SUTC prayers for Wayne. I do not mind the players being mic’ed up just wish it had not been some of the horrid players from the Yankees. I liked the ump and catcher cams as well.

I will be happy with whichever one of them wins. Was glad when Alonso got out he is so cocky and obnoxious.

I usually watch the HR Derby and ASG.

I plan to finish this out but will be a fast 9th so wanted to say have a good week and enjoy the break. Hope our good vibes come back on Friday!

I did some comments like that yesterday and the reverse jinx worked so hoping it will again today.

Oh well when we had the win streak I had wanted us to be 1 or 2 over .500 going into the break but it was not meant to be. I am happy we actually made it to where we did.

OMG we did it!

Those are usually the hitters who do well against us.

I have a bad feeling about this. What happened to our players on that Thursday off day we look so different offensively and defensively than we did during our win streak.

I just realized should not have said it yet we still have to get 3 outs.

Reverse jinx worked! Go Mountie!

Knew Mancini would either SO, pop up, or hit into a DP not optimistic about Mountie either. If Odor had not done what he did would have gotten a run on the Mateo triple. The Rays will probably get a bloop hit to win.

Odor tried to steal 3rd and got thrown out.

I knew they should have walked him and hoped for a DP he always hits against us.

It was nice while it lasted. Hope we are not on a long losing streak now and can stay around .500. It did not help that the catcher let 2 balls by him. I wonder if Adley would have been able to get them.

I had that bad feeling as well.

Me too.
