Earl Weaver Tirade

Mike sent me this link an audio clip of Earl Weaver going nuts on "The Manager's Corner" radio show. I can't tell if Weaver's serious or not but it's funny.

Click on Earl's picture to go to the website and hear the audio.

First Orioles Game of 2009


My Mother, Mike, Tommy, Matthew, Jocelyn and I went to our first Orioles game of the year tonight and - surprise, surprise - we won, beating the Seattle Mariners 3 to 1 and breaking a five game loosing streak. The Orioles pitcher, Bergesen, went eight scoreless innings and Nolan Reimold had two rbi's, including a homer. It was a fun game - Matt Wieters popped up to the right of the pitchers mound and with four players watching it, it dropped in for a hit. Unfortunately, he tried to stretch it out into a double and was thrown out at second. It was Melvin Mora tee-shirt night and he hit a ball in the first inning that almost went out of the park. In fact, it was initially scored a homer but after instant replay, it was changed to an out. That's the first time I've ever seen instant replay used in a game and it took forever. There was a picture on the front page of the Sun's sports section the next day and it was obviously fan interference. Some drunken moron, wearing a Melvin Mora tee-shirt, stuck his hat right into the Seattle outfielder's glove. Nitwit.

Me and the little darlings

Bergesen delivers.
It poured right before the game and the sky was extremely nasty looking.
