[Chavez Ravine]

Last night I was "whew, we didn't get swept--we have three games to work a split!" Today I have started drinking early and I am with Conan:

So are the O's announcers allowed to use the phrase "Mount Fuji"?

[Bahama O's Fan]

I'm at the game. Section 217. Didn't make the pitcher work much this first inning.

[Malike]

I'd feel better if Cowser was in a corner tonight.

[Since1984]

Positive this has been mentioned before, but this series is playoff testing for the O’s. Felt it watching last nights game. Go O’s!

The Devil Rays throwbacks are fun. 

[Tony-OH]

Bradish has good breaking stuff tonight in the first inning. Hopefully that bodes well.

Reminds me of my childhood videogame days.

Yeah I wish they had kept that name.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Good at bat by OHearn. Ends in a hard hit fly out to left.

[Uli2001]

Eflin threw more pitches to O'Hearn than in the entire first inning.

[Billy F-Face3]

Yeah Mountcastle!
