ORIOLES

Apparently my sign made it on MASN last night.  I didn't tape the game.  Did anyone see it?

I did not see it but I was seated clear across the stadium.

Headed back to the Yard tonight.  We better take the next two.

I expect THREE hits from you tonight.

Didn't see the sign.  Will be there tonight.  Definitely need a W.

Will be there Saturday and Sunday.  Wish I was going again tonight, but I need to stay home and get some rest!  (after watching the game of course)

Yes, the Orioles did get rid of John Miller.  So did ESPN.  No idea why either of them would as he rules.

Angelos fired Jon Miller in 1996 because he was often too candid for him, citing a desire for a broadcaster who would "bleed more orange and black."

Miller now does SF Giants games.  I won't tell you what color they are.

As for ESPN, I think they really wanted Joe Morgan gone, but axed the team.  They offered Miller the radio gig, but he said no thank you and now just works the Giants games.

He really is a pleasure to listen to.

I think Pete didn't like the fact that Miller did so much outside of O's games - espn for instance.  Ironically Gary Thorne now seems to do the same thing.

Will do whatever it takes.

I'll be at the game tomorrow night, too.  I plan to catch up on sleep on our off day.

this is pretty awesome, I love Nick Johnson:

Got 2 from the Pixies tonight - 'Monkey' for McLouth and 'Here Comes Your Man' for Ayala in relief. 

Would rather have had a win though.

The musical selections were as unexceptional as the game.  Perhaps they had a minor league guy in charge of it (they were in charge of everything else)?

Tough one last night!  ugh.

Uh-oh

7 home runs.  BAM.

The O's better keep winning.

It seems pretty clear that Oakland, Tampa, and LA aren't going to lose anymore games (unless Tampa loses to the O's).

Those teams are going DOWN.

DOWN to the wire.

Is this the latest issue?!

It is.  Came out yesterday, allegedly.  I need to go grab one.

The firework display was nothing short of awesome last night.  Great way to end my three day residence at the yard.

There's a good possibility that even with the additional Wild Card, 2 teams with 90 wins or more will miss the playoffs.  That would be something.

The O's are also on the brink of a positive run differential, and we all know that makes all the difference in the world…
