As a guy on an Orioles message board with a Jerry Garcia avatar - the intersection of those two worlds in this thread is a constant delight to me.

I think that they should play that song at Oriole Park every time that the Orioles come from behind to win a game.

With a slight adjustment to the chorus: ) Don't tell me these O's ain't got no heeeeeeeaaaaart ...... you just gotta poke around.

I really like this team.  Record might be similar to last years team, the 2019 version will probably end up winning a few more games.  Detroit probably gets the #1 pick. But this team is infinite

I just called the Orioles' public relations department, and sent them an email.

This was the letter that I just sent to them:

***************************

Hi. My name is Patrick Colon. I am from Brewster, NY, and I have been an Oriole fan since October of 1971, when I was a 6 year-old boy.

I have a suggestion for a song to be played at OPACY in games in which the Orioles come from behind to win.

The name of the song is "Shakedown Street" by the Grateful Dead.

In the lyrics, it says, "Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart. You just gotta poke around."

I was thinking about a slight change to, "Don't tell me THESE O's ain't got no heart. You just gotta poke around."

Here is the video of the song:

I understand that there are legalities/copyright details that you may need to address if you should decide to use this song and make the slight change to the chorus. Either way, I think that it's a great song, and it would be very fitting if it was played in games in which the Orioles came from behind to win.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Patrick Colon (Oriole Fan From New York)

I always wondered why your avatar was Bruce Villanch. :)

Ouch! Maybe I should have went with a younger picture of Jerry - he was looking pretty shaky his last few years.

In an realted note - your avatar bears a striking resemblance to Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh:

How many people thought that the Orioles would win this game when the Red Sox went ahead by a score of 7-5 in the 3rd inning ???

Way to go, Orioles.

Way to go, Orioles.

48 hours ago, the Orioles were reeling from a 2nd consecutive loss to the Red Sox.

The Red Sox will sweep," some said.

"We'll be lucky to win a single game," said some.

NIX, NIX !!!

The Orioles returned the favor to the Bostonians by winning the final 2 games of the series, and by bombarding Red Sox pitching for 25 runs in those games.

Don't tell me these O's aint got no heart ...... you just gotta poke around.

I didn't think it was over but I was more pissed off than usual. I hate losing to the Yankees that much. What a great win tonight. That was a nice comeback. Tillman needs to pitch better. I thought Wieters should have came out and tried to calm him down but it's whatever. We won.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Wavetrapper · Posted

      There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!

      While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.

      I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.

      Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.

      Povich is off vs Detroit at least. Even if they carry a 9 man pen, Doubt that 5 will be left handers

      I hate to say it because they are all eligible to succeed or fail ( DC just coming back ), would probally go with Soto.
