I don't think that would be appropriate on Valentine's Day.

Saw Springsteen for the first time in 1981.  Saw him play at a NJ club half a dozen times in the '80s. Sometimes I was so close I had to lean back not to get hit by his guitar.  Met my wife

He's not a youngster, but I'll bet he still packs the house.  I've never liked him since he left his wife and kid in Baltimore.  What a dick move.

He's alright, voice is kind of whiny.  But I'm pretty sure all of these guys, including Bruce, fall under the broad singer/songwriter umbrella.  

Yeah, Zach is really talented.  I'd heard him before but not much.  Checking him out again now.  For those of us on this site who like to talk music maybe we should start a thread in one of the other boards that's not O's specific.

I don’t like talking music on here because that means I have to pay attention to @Can_of_corn

Well that ruined my weekend.  Get well soon Bruce!!   See you next year at Camden.  

That's a bummer.  Even though I could never stand "Born in the USA" nor most of his stuff since the 90s I'm a big fan of his early albums from the 70s and into the early 80s -- Greetings from Asbury Park all the way to Nebraska. 

I don't understand why people make fun of old rock stars still performing.  Does anyone make fun of Willie Nelson still performing -- or Tony Bennett before he died?  Like these rockers are supposed to move to Florida and take up golf and pickleball?  They'll all be dead and gone sooner than you know it, and we will miss them.  Who knows if Jimmy Buffett's fan base will ever get over him passing away.

Saw him play at a NJ club half a dozen times in the '80s. Sometimes I was so close I had to lean back not to get hit by his guitar. 

Met my wife at a show in NJ during the '99 - '00 Reunion tour. 

I saw my 100th Bruce show on the same tour. 

I requested "Lion's Den" at Penn State early in 2000, and he opened the show with it. He hadn't played the song in eight months, and I had to explain the whole Nittany Lions thing to him. That still cracks me up. 

I requested "The Promise" at Madison Square Garden on the penultimate show of that tour, and he played it by himself on the piano for the first encore. 

(He was big on requests back then. Not so much these days). 

Got married in Australia on a day sandwiched between shows in Sydney and Brisbane. Bruce sent us a nice card for the occasion. 

The night our son was born he was playing solo in Columbus, OH and dedicated "Valentine's Day" to my wife. 

After kids come along they become the priority. We'd see one or two shows a tour rather than twenty or thirty. 

Saw him at CFG in April, same day we opened against the Yankees. Still a good show after all these years. Hard to believe he can still rock a place at his age. 

Won't see him at Camden Yards (or any stadium). Too expensive. Too far away from the stage. 

The Orioles and Bruce have been my touchstones for most of my life. 

Hope he gets better soon.

I was at that Penn State show when he opened with Lion’s Den.  Saw they CFG show.  That was number 58 for me.  The man still does 3 hour balls to the wall energetic shows.  He will be back next year to do this one.

Make up date is 9-13-2024.

They rescheduled all the Sept-December postponements in the US and the one at Oriole Park is the last reschedule date.   So it could very well be the last performance ever of Bruce and the E Street Band.    Typically they take 2 or 3 years off between tours, and given all the health issues this time around, they will likely be too old to do this again.

There are some Canada dates that still need to be rescheduled but I think those will be earlier.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      By SteveA · Posted

      If we were to DH Kjerstad instead of O'Hearn it would be an entire starting 10 who had only played for the Orioles in their MLB career.   Wonder when the last time we ever had such a lineup (if ever).

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.
