Classic exchange on Sons of Sam Horn:

(referring to Matsuzaka)

Probably should have given him that DL time off a lot sooner. Like about a thousand other things this team hasn't bothered to do until it was too late all year.

And Buck Showalter's no longer available...

Eat your hearts out, suckas.

[Juanvald]

where was this Koji against the Yanks?? It seems that as long as we dont play NY, Koji is just a beast as a closer. That was one of the quickest 9th innings you will see. Great win!

[Steve I]

I love him:)

Don't we all? Dude is awesome, challenges the hitters by throwing strikes. Win or lose, he makes the other team actually beat him and that is not easy. Command to beat the band. Go Koji

From Yellowstone National Park yesterday, I followed my O's on Gamecast on my blackberry.

A sad night for the Sons of Sam Horn...

See any bison? Awesome two days for O's fans! Kojisan ichiban!

Bob, I saw friggin' everything.

I could live in Jackson, Wyoming. Seriously... most beautiful place I've ever been in this country.

Bears, Moose, Elk, Bald Eagles... I'm pretty sure I also saw a Chupacabra.

My son lived there for two years and loved it. I love the town square with the elk horns. Many good bars around the square - skiing is fab in the winter of course. Tetons, Yellowstone, moose, elk - beautiful!

I had wondered if the Jones flyout was a well-hit ball unfortunately caught by a good defender. Alas, I could not see, since I was following on Gameday and not watching television. I noticed the red dot was fairly deep, but it is not always placed properly. I said, correctly, that the batter flied out on one pitch.

Why was I not watching on television, and following on Gameday? Between the two of us, my fiancee and I have one car, and I do most of the driving, including taking her to and from work. She has a part-time job in the evening, far enough away from the house that it's prohibitive to make a return trip during a fairly short work shift. Luckily, I have periodic access to a computer. I've spent such time doing heavy retooling on my resumes (I, like many, have been out of a job for awhile and continue to look, without much success) and following the games as I can (I usually miss the last three or four innings driving us back, only occasionally arriving back at the house in time to see a game's end).

We don't have the kind of money that can be thrown around to MLB.tv and the like. Hell, I agonized over becoming a Plus Member here earlier in the year when I still had a job and a bit of spare cash. We do what we can for each other, not take the pontificating piss on a message board like some are wont to do (some, likely the same just mentioned, will define this post as just that, but they're off-base). Question my "fandom" (I don't contribute that much, though mostly because someone has already said the same thing. Say something once...why say it again? I seldom do.) or mentation if you like. You'll be wrong. I just happen to be a man who does what he needs to do first and is a fan second. Anyone who has a problem with that can piss off.

Before I forget, nice win by the O's tonight.
