Favorite memories from this season

"Don't throw it away. Don't throw it at all!"

I love this one. It really sums up the reality of the last 15 years. Gary Thorne has seen the Orioles make bad decisions just like everyone else has over the last few years, and for a second he was a fan expecting the worse. But he forgot one thing... this was the 2012 Baltimore Orioles, expect the un-expected.

Thorne's and Bordick's reaction to that play was golden!

"Don't throw it away. Don't throw it at all!"

Another great Gary Thorne moment from late in the season. Jason Hammel was pitching, and an easy pop fly went high into the air on the right side of the infield. Mark Reynolds and Jason Hammel were both there. The pitcher usually yields in a situation like this, but Hammel remained very close to the ball that was coming down (along with Reynolds.) Thorne says, "An easy pop fly," but when he sees Hammel still right next to Reynolds when the ball is about to come down, he lowers his voice a little, and speaks more sternly and quickly and says, "Get out of the way." Reynolds catches the ball, and I got a good laugh out of Thorne quickly but briefly turning into (strictly) a fan. :laughlol:

Too many to decide, really. Unfortunately, I've had to purge my DVR, and have been watching a lot of this season's moments. Among them...the comeback against the White Sox in April, the Cinco de Mayo and Chris Davis games against the Red Sox, the Jim Palmer Day walk-off victory against the Tigers, the Cal Ripken Day game versus the MFY, and the 18-inning game against Seattle (a game I watched live from beginning to end). Great stuff, all of it. What a unique team and season.

Wilson Betemit. His walk off homer against Oakland. His ill-timed error at third base in the Chris Davis game that made the 16th inning interesting. The time(s) when there was a shallow pop up to third and he just kinda threw his glove blindly hoping to catch it, and when he didn't he just walked away. Early June being our most consistent hitter. And the time when he wore the wrong hat.
