Games like yesterday make me excited about this team. Then I remember it's the Orioles...

Okay, there still are a lot of great things about this team.
A funny little baseball story ...
We decided last-minute to go to the Twins game tonight. And then decided after a couple innings to ask to sit closer to the field. (Thanks, Mr. Nice… https://t.co/B8aqZb8Vrh
A few years back (ok, quite a while ago) my nephew had a similar interaction with Carlos Gomez (minus the injury part). I'll always like that guy because of it.
My brother loved Shannon Stewart because he gave him a handful of Bazooka gum from the bucket in the dugout.
that is awesome.
That's pretty great. If only Glen Perkins had been as receptive to the fans...
Makes me like Eddie all the more.
Awesome!
Brett Graves, local boy who I know, picked up his first decision (loss, unfortunately) in the Marlins' 16 inning affair against the Rays earlier this week. He was the last man standing, putting four innings in before the roof collapsed. Even got an AB, which he'd been hoping for.
Every time you mention him, I read “Brent Gates” instead, which leaves me feeling like this the rest of the day:
I like the occasional commemorative stamp, but I’d be fine if the USPS went back to monochrome line drawings on cream backgrounds for a while.
I was really pulling for Sweden, but now I'll be forced to support the wankers. derp.
There's always Croatia.
And there still is.
That shootout was so awesome.
First match I've watched, really. When Russia scored to tie it on the side kick after the yellow card, I thought for sure the fix was in.
One of the commentators was very quick to say "you can't script this." at the end of extra time, and considering the country involved, I'm not sure the fix wasn't in, I think they just screwed it up.

Hope for all you fans of derivative "art": make a replica of a famous object, hope the USPS mistakenly buys a stock photo of it for use on stamps, sue, profit.

In soviet Russia, match fixes you!
Anyone else going to the game on Monday?
