The Magic Of Orioles Baseball
Seriously, if in late February, you told me that the Orioles would be 2 games above .500 at the 1/4 mark of the season, I wouldn’t have believed you. They’ve played very well, pretty much embarassing the Red Sox despite the amazing Manny catching a ball, high fiving a Red Sox fan and then retiring Aubrey Huff for a double play.
One of the worst songs ever has to be “Orioles Magic.” I mean this song was bad back in the mid 80s making it even more cheesy now. However, it’s not hard to believe that Orioles magic is coming back…and now after a home win, Camden Yards shows a new video with Kevin Millar lipsyncing with old and new players showing up in the video. From Wild Bill, to Rick Dempsey, to Eddie Murray, to all the new guys, you can check it out here. I love the Ricola-esque opening.
In other news, I’m just about back after recovering from a lovely fever and nasty stomach issue. Good times.
I did get a chance to try out that Wind game on the Wii as well as the TV trivia game which uses Miis. Both are pretty fun games. Still waiting to pick up Deca Sports. Maybe tomorrow.

I was at the O’s game Tuesday night. It was probably the best O’s game I’ve been to in about 10 years. Manny’s 20 pitch at bat with the base loaded was nerve racking but when he grounded out the crowd went nuts. It felt good to be there with a crowd that cared. And boy they were into it. About a section over from me, a Boston and Orioles fan went at it. Nothing like a brawl in the stands to get the fans all excited.
