Any word on MelMo's status?

Looking good with 2 Ks.

Yep. He pitched well today.

It's not the same without Amber. The Yard is a bit more grim today.

Per Roch :

Justin Turner pinch-hit for Melvin Mora with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth.

So much for my prediction that Mora would come off the field in the middle of an inning and receive a loud ovation.

Turner grounded a two-run single into center field to give the Orioles a 4-3 lead - which, ironically, led to a loud ovation.

Maybe the Orioles have something else planned for Mora. Otherwise, that's a pretty low-key exit for a guy who's been here since the middle of the 2000 season.

Update: Mora's image appeared on the video board, and he came out of the dugout to acknowledge a standing ovation. Mora waved to the crowd and tapped his chest.

A break for the O's! :clap3:

[scOtt]

Montanez misses the bunt sign, but then gets it done.

Per Roch :

Thanks! Rep to you.

Per Roch :

Still pretty anti-climactic tho...

[scOtt]

O's win! O's win!

[Mooreisbetter27]

And we won't get the 2nd pick!!!

But at least we end on a high note!

[nevadaO]

And the O's win!! What a way to win the game!

[threedaysrest]

Here comes Aubrey! O's win! O's win! O's win! :clap3: :wedge:

It's been fun, guys and gals. Let us head into the offseason with a good thought and full trust in AM and his staff. See everyone on the Orioles Talk board--the hot stove should be smoking. :laughlol:

Scott, Cindy, Scrat, nevadao, and everyone else: thanks for making this season lots of fun.

Cheers,
