  1. Major league results with minor league vibe (attendance, star power, etc.) but they get it done. Have to nod your cap to 'em.
  2. Had season tickets in Harrisburg when Cutch played for the Altoona Curve. Man was he fun to watch back then...
  3. The team I admire most in MLB? The Rays. Again this year they were largely discounted as they are every year...and look where they are... Now real quick, someone fire off the starting 9. Yeah...I didn't think so.
  4. Half the talk about Cal was negative..."he's selfish, he cares more about himself than the team" kind of nonsense. The guy got paid very well to play a game that he loved. He showed up to play every day, just like we do for work. If it's more than acceptable for us to be at work every day, why was Cal selfish for doing the same thing?
  5. 3 playoff appearances in there as well. It's funny, a lot of people assume that the O's have been horrible forever...they're only 5 seasons removed from the postseason.
  6. Is this valid through the end of the run? 240 hours?
  7. Sad part of all of this is this reality - this is the most conversation on the Orioles since...since...well, I don't remember.
  8. Rodanthe - Hatteras Island. About 10 miles south of Oregon Inlet. 40 miles south of Wright Memorial Bridge.
  9. My wife actually drinks more than I do - thing is, we LOVE this house. It's only 4 years old, gorgeous pool, hot tub, and right off the ocean. Tons of space inside. With my high powered fan blowing I can make 74 tolerable for a week given everything else that we love.
  10. THAT is really cool. Father and daughter going to a game together, and initiated by your daughter. That is awesome stuff right there, and I hope you have an amazing day together.
  11. Generally expecting highs in the mid 80s on the coastline next week. It will be humid as crap though. You know, I am a rule follower through and through but I'm always challenged to follow my morals on vacation. There's a notice in our house stating not to set the AC below 74 degrees...are you kidding me?
  12. Isn't it amazing how often that happens? And it doesn't matter who the team is either.
  13. I'm liking how there is a precip max of nearly 5" in eastern NC and another just offshore with the Outer Banks itself receiving significantly less. Interesting...
  14. Yes! The pressure is off, I fully expect a 14 game winning streak to follow.
  15. WPC says south central PA might not see much liquid after all:
  16. This is wrong on so many levels I can't begin to go into detail, but anyone waiting until June to turn on the AC will be judged by me. A lot. I made one small edit.
  17. Gregg Jefferies. I had half of an album of Gregg Jefferies rookie cards. The biggest can't miss player of my lifetime up until that point. (mid 1980s) Had a solid career with a couple of all star game appearances but he never lived up to the hype. (which wasn't possible given the amount of hype)
  18. I was an Orioles season ticket holder during that era...I'd race home after every game to see how far Sammie or Mac hit one that night. At the very least, baseball was relevant and had captured people's attention. (albeit for the wrong reasons)
  19. How often do they have to close that pool from someone who had the sh*t scared out of them?
  20. Curt's head wasn't screwed on straight, Freddie was at the end of his career, and Brady hadn't discovered performance enhancing drugs yet.
  21. I don't like rain delayed, bring it early. Same applies in the winter. Delayed way too often = denied.
  22. We're 2/3rds of the way to matching our infamous 1988 streak. Of course, that one started the season and many wondered if the O's would ever win.
  23. @mahantango#1 that's a great picture, thank you for posting!
  24. I'm sort of surprised by how brown my yard still is. Definitely better than a week ago but still dry.
