I don't blame you. ^
Now when are my Jays gonna go on a 10 game winning streak!? Anyway. We really need Jose Reyes in the Line up.
R.A Dickey needs to pick up man! Everyone that comes to Toronto ends up sucking hard, except Roger Clemens. Man...he was awesome.

Jose Valverde blows another one as Verlander gets to say bye-bye to win number 9. 2-0 lead with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th and an 0 ball and 2 strike count, and Valverde gives up a 2-run home run to Lorenzo Cain. That is now 5 home runs in his last 6 appearances.

And not surprising, the Tigers put this one in the loss column. You're welcome Kansas City.

Atlanta's riding a pretty nice wave at the moment. Backup catcher Evan Gattis is doing some pretty amazing things. In pinch hit appearances this season, he is 6 for 8 with 4 home runs and a double.

Tiger catcher Alex Avila has been horrible. There have been rumors of the Tigers being interested in making a trade for Brian McCann, seeing as how well Evan Gattis is playing, and I believe that McCann can be a free agent next year.

That could be interesting. McCann's a solid player, one of the more visible Braves players over the past few years, but I wouldn't be too sad if he left.

If the Royals win today they'll be back to .500
I'd be happy with that. They look so much improved from last season I can't help but be happy.

My mighty O's took 3 of 4 against the Red Sox. After enduring decades in the cellar, it's about time the O's got back to their former glory.

^ it's nice to watch. If Lind keeps this up all season long he could make Mickey mantle look like a putz...well...maybe not. Close though. :)

The palmero, ripkin and Anderson days.
Man. They had a good team in the late 90's. Remember when Anderson had that 52 Homerun year? Amazing. Think it was 1997-1998

Yeah, the best team money could buy, unfortunately. They were trying to be like the Yankees, buying players like Palmeiro, Alomar (one of the greatest players I've ever seen play, though), Bobby Bonilla; they even had Albert Belle for a few years. They love Ripken in Baltimore, but they were a last place team for much of his career... (It wasn't his fault, I guess...)
I prefer the old Orioles way, when the talent was mostly homegrown: Jim Palmer, Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Mike Cuellar, Dave McNally, Boog Powell, Al Bumbry, Paul Blair. The late 60s-70s teams. The Orioles were in the World Series in 1966, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1979, and 1983. They won the AL East in 1973 and 1974 (the A's beat them in the playoffs both years). There were other years during this time when they were in 2nd place: 1968, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1980, 1981 (2 games out of first place), 1982 (one game out of 1st place). It was a great time to be a child, although I came late, just as they were passing, and the 80s O's came up (Eddie Murray, Mussina, Ripken, Flanagan, etc.), which didn't seem to fulfill their promise as the 80s wore on...
I like the team they've had the past couple of years, with new younger homegrown players, and cast-offs finding a home there.

That's right. It was an expensive team. Oh man, Magic Mike Mussina! He was great and it is a real shame that the O's didn't have better years in the 80's with cal around. Definitely not his fault. He goddam iron man...literally!

Orioles' fans consider the ("Damn") Yankees as their hated rivals, so when Mussina went to the Yankees (as Reggie Jackson did, after spending one year with the Orioles and promising he'd spend his career there), he became a 'persona non grata' for Marylanders, haha. (To be fair though, Jackson belonged in the Big Lights of NY :-)

Yup. Magic mike turned into INVISABLE mike when he dawned the pin stripes.
Anyway. Predictions for this 2013 season. I think the red socks are gonna win it all.
Jay's were the favourites on paper this year to start the season. Yikes!

Also. Next weds(26th) will be my first baseball game in one year since my tragic motorcycle accident.
I'm so grateful to play the game again. My shoulder, which I broke, is finally feeling up to the task.
Wish me luck my fellow proggers!
Now. For those of you who play baseball. Here is a fun game.
What song would you liked to be played when you go up to bat?
I think I Honor Thy Father has a nice fast-pumped up intro that could work for me.
I'd have to give it more thought. :)
I remember Joe Carter had 'space jam' when he returned to Toronto in 1997. Lol
