The Cartoon Bird, Isn't It Great?


Flacco Machado

Recommended Posts

The ONLY reason I wouldn't want the "B" is too many st00pid people would think it was Boston. :rolleyestf:

I actually bought a "B" cap a couple years ago, when I got outside in natural light, I saw that it was navy blue and not black. It was a Chicago Bears hat. I went back and swapped it for a Ryan-era lowercase a Angels cap.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am seeing a TON of the cartoon bird hats around. Maybe it's just because it's the start of the season, but I feel like I've seen more O's paraphernalia in the past week than in the previous year.

Yup, at the game Tuesday it seemed like everyone had one, whether it was the new hat or the older one. I have been looking for a white paneled O's hat of my own but I cant find one that fits.

The correct bird was nice, but it was so boring. There was nothing fun about it, nothing that'd make me want to wear it.

Cartoon bird on the other hand is awesome. I'd actually get a cartoon bird hat or rock a tshirt with the cartoon bird on it.

I tried that one on, it's not a deep hat so it sits on my head like a yarmulke.

I'm a big fan of the Twins/'47 Brand hats. I've been waiting for a while for them to get the black paneled/orange brimmed hat in a large and it finally happened today. I almost resorted to buying the all black one, but stood strong. Power moves, you guys.

I'm excited to see the away hats tonight. First time in over 20 years.

I'm looking forward to seeing them in action too, but since it's Friday, I was wondering if they might wear the O's hat with their black jerseys?

I am all about flex fit hats. I don't like the New Era fitted ones. They are too big and heavy. Especially in the summer.

Yeah, the 59/50 official hats are too "tall." And my head is big enough on its own.

    • Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that. 
    • The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.
    • Looks maybe concussion related. 
    • How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.
    • I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made. 
    • Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
