Please ask them to introduce themselves to the old man with a camera!

Definitely will. Would be great. Eddie and Tina. You will know them by the disparate size. Eddie (also goes by Maurice) is 6'5", his sister is a skinny thing about 100lb and maybe 5'6". If you tell them you know Sherman they would both sorta flip out. But will tell them to look for you as well.

I will be covering the Orioles Dream Week next week looking for interesting stories. Are you coming down? What's your story? Mind sharing it with others?

You're going to Dream Week ???

I'm not going to Dream Week.

You bastard.

Doc, I'm 34. Would it be ridiculous for a guy my age to go?

Not ridiculous at all. You would have a blast. It is set up for everyone to have fun, regardless of skill level or age or gender. I'll try to write more on this later, but I think I did cover this point last year. Pinch runners are available for injured and real old timers way past 65.

Visited with my brother in law tonight before he heads out, told him to look for the nicest, Orioles minor league aficionado, camera carrying younger old man out there!

He says he still can hit 80, so have your gun ready with the camera because if he throws like a (can't say girl, since I have coached young female softball players who have shown that term doesn't apply anymore)...like a....middle aged man then I get to give him a hard time! :)

Seriously, hope everyone has a fun trip and enjoys the weather.

Perhaps they may be interested in joining the Orioles Hangout Community. :)

Oh definitely. Already sent the site to Eddie after he asked when he got back...."what is that site that Mr. Doc works for?" I'm sure after reading the site for a short time he will be sucked in no time. :)

    • It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.
    • Let's go Tampa! Actually, I'm fired up for the offseason.
    • Not fired up, per se, but engaged in the ramp-up to playoff baseball. On one hand, it's like the spring training phase of gearing up for playoffs. On the other hand, it's like the playoffs have already begun. We're qualified for round 1, which consists of the next 6 games. Even watching the other teams play now is entertaining, as they jostle for entry to the next round. 
    • I really think that Westburg is the difference maker for us. I don't know why, but the offense just doesn't run right without him... like an engine that needs a tune up. I'm glad he's back with a week to go in the regular season.
    • Don't be too hard on yourself OP. We've all been there. For me, I usually hit a frustration point mid-late season and then start to just accept things. Baseball is a very weird, very inscrutable game sometimes. I've driven myself a bit nuts this season with the Adley thing because it's one of those baseball things that just doesn't make a lot of sense. Same with the pitching injuries.  Each season is a little narrative. This one will be the year we had a bunch of injuries, the year of the RISP regression, the year of the rookie struggles, the year of the questionable Elias trades, the year we couldn't follow up on the 100-win season, etc. And yet - it will be a playoff year. And that's the only goal of every regular season: make the playoffs. Hopefully our playoff narrative will change this time around. 
    • I’m fired up for sure. We are finally full strength offensively and this stretch of games will be a great way for this team to gel down the stretch. The AL East is still attainable so let’s kick ass from here and see where we land!
    • Westburg is back. Everything is fine now. Enjoy the championship run.
