Anyone else going Thursday for Cal Ripken night?

Thursday and Saturday are sold out.

well first place was nice the 1 day it lasted

We can get it back tonight.

Will be interesting to hear how the mix of fans is tonight.  Hopefully the majority are there for the O's.

I have faith it will be mostly Orioles fans there tonight!

Wow, that game. I haven't felt that way watching in Orioles game in years. I started cracking up out of joy after Reynolds hit his 2nd HR of the night.

Product of West Springfield HS, right down the road from me.

And obviously I didn't need to mention Saunders and Wolf who probably have no innings limit, they're just serviceable journeymen.  I'm VERY familiar with Saunders…

Epic.

Best Orioles game I have ever seen in person.  All the Orioles fans…AMAZING.

Of course, I sit in front of a huge jerk Yankee fan.  Why can't they just sit down and cheer for their team and shut up?  This guy leaned over when my husband was in the bathroom and said "I don't know how to tell you, but the Orioles aren't going to make the playoffs".  I politely (yelled) that I had been watching every game for over a decade and I'm just glad they're having a winning season so stay the hell out of my face….

He was a mocking jerk too when the Yankees tied saying "Let's Go O's"

So, then they hit 3 home runs and I turned around and said "We're going to the playoffs" singing it and dancing and he left soon after because he's a fairweather.

Aside from that, it was just amazing that they won and kept hitting homeruns and there were so many Orioles fans there. 

Just wonderful.  I don't know if another game can top that experience. 

I should also add that I do not join in the booing and/or Yankees suck chants.  I prefer to cheer for the Orioles….

that bullshit is all a part of the evolution of a fanbase. 

O's game looked amazing last night.

O's with Markakis starting: 62-42
without: 16-19

Even though he lost CC did them a big favor.

I was booing every time  a yankee was announced on friday night.  It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have so many fans come to the game but I just really can't stand their players.  I mean I don't like the Red Sox but at least they don't disgust me like the yankees players. I think it might be all the clean-shaven super short hair adn their ugly mugs and their arrogant smiles.  I just can't stand them.  Especially Jeter and Teixera. 

Me either.  Although I can at least respect Derek Jeter.  But, I still don't like him.  All the other players are heinous.  Rooting for them is like rooting for a corporation.  It's not even rooting for a team.  And their fans are jerks.

We bought beers for the Yankee fans sitting next to us Friday night.  They're not all bad.  Just mostly bad.

The fans in front of us and next to us on Thursday were cool.  The guys behind us were not.  My luck that the game when it's 90/10 Orioles fans/Yankee fans, I'm still the fan who's surrounded.

Tied for first.  Wearing orange today.

A guaranteed .500 season with their win yesterday.

One more win until we put our light-em-up Orioles player on our lawn and confuse our neighbors.

Went to the game Wednesday night.  Still so wonderful to hear the stadium loud!  Loving it.

Sat through 14 yesterday.  A glorious day with some tense moments.  And another one-run win. 

Time to BUCKle up for the rest of the ride!
