“Yah like that’ll ever happen!”
back reads: Hardware. There’s no better feeling than a ring on your finger. The YANKEES have more rings than you can shake a Sock at. 26 to be exact. Oh..one more thing, it’ll take the RED SOX 394 years just to match our current total.
“Amazing the fans know math!!!”
back reads: Since 1923 the Yankees have racked up 26 World Series trophies and the Red Sox have 7 since 1903. Hey Red Sox Nation, what are you doing for the next 235 years? It’s going to take that long just to match our current total

The Orioles have 3 straight games to those Rangers
“Sorry Orangebird, I made a woopsies. it’s okay other Orangebird”
in both the games the Orioles had a chance to win the game but they lost
“Bummer!!!!”
In the first game George Sherill proved how nerve wracking he is when he gave up a homerun to Micheal Young
“Micheal not Vince! Sorry Jordan”
That gave them the victory in the ninth. Then yesterday Ian Kinsler got his macher on!
“What’s a macher? See my dad’s blog http://jewsonfirst.mlblogs.com/“
He had a very impressive line, that gave them the W

Weaver Ball!
Yankee fans across the MLBlogsphere are wondering “How the *&#$ are we losing to the
*#$%#ing Orioles, the Orioles!!” Somebody thinks it’s Nick Markakis and wants to kidnap him!!! (this person shall remain unknown, but her name rhymes with rain dweller). However do not blame him. Blame one notable Hall of Famer, Mr. Earl Sidney Weaver.
“That’s the worst call I’ve ever seen!!!!”
Why blame Earl Weaver if he’s not managing. Well, I’ll tell you why: the O’s are playing Weaver Ball. Now you may ask, what is Weaver Ball? Well, Weaver Ball is pitching, defense and the three run homer. Those were the things the great Earl liked seeing most. And let me tell you, the O’s are playing Weaver Ball!!
Exhibit A. Fielding- take Monday; Cesar Izturus Salad Man makes a diving stop, throws to first, the runner is safe, then Huff – seeing Nady is going home – throws to Zaun who stops Nady in his tracks and throws back to Melvin to get him out and kill the Yankees rally chances. That’s excellent and unselfish fielding. Also, take the O’s outfield. We have two of the fastest outfielders:
and they gobble up everything!!!! In fact, ESPN the Mag called the Camden Yards outfield “Where triples go to die.” (sounds like a quote from Field of Dreams). And by no means are the Yankees fielding like that; their outfield has as much speed as a
(if you ask me that turtle is orange!!)
Exhibit B. PItching – In the Orioles first two games we have had great starting pitching while the Yankees had their 160 million dollar baby cry as he pitched awful on Opening Day and then have their Asian pitcher get outdueled by ours. In case you don’t believe that pitching wasn’t part of Weaver ball I have something to say: take a look at these pitching stats.
However no three run shots have been hit… YET
My Orioles demand some respect!!!
One last thing, another reason why we are this year’s Rays- last year many had the Rays to finish in fourth place and many this year predict that we will finish fourth.
THAT’S THE VIEW FROM SECTION 360!!
KONICHIWA KOJI!!!!!!
Tonight Koji Uehara
will make his MLB debut against Ching Mang Wang
and the Evil Empire Yankees
Three Words: Asian Media Frenzy
It’s probably going to be 2am in Japan yet those dedicated fans will deprive themselves of sleep to see Koji and Hideki. I’m not sure if those from Wang’s country (??Taiwan??) are that big fans, they might be.
The Orioles are going to giveaway his T-Shirt on Tuedsay the 21st as part of a promo T-Shirt Tuesday were they give out the T-Shirt of a guy who’s doing well but his T-Shirts aren’t avalible.
Last year they did it for Adam, Lu(uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu)ke, Super Platypus Sherill and other guys.
I look forward to watching Koji’s debut.
Orioles Opening Day 2009
I think yesterday might of been the best Opening day I’ve ever attended. The O’s won 10-5, I got to boo Texeria with passion, there were more O’s fans then Yankee fans, and we got revenge for this
with this
This post will be divided into 2 main subjects- fan atmosphere and the actual game
FAN ATMOSPHERE
The Yard was packed. In fact it was highest attended Opening Day in O’s, this confuses me. All of the previous Opening Days were sellouts, so what up with that Doc?
For the first in it feels like forever there was more
then
(Total IQ for those guys over/under 80)
And I was among the many doing this
Ever since he crossed the t’s in his name and dotted his i, myself and most of Birdland wanted to boo him so badly!!! His first at bat the boo’s were going constantly they stopped when Jeremy was in his windup and began the second Gregg caught it.
There was constantly YANKEES CUSK!!!! Chants only they were saying the actual word. Also they were playing rock and roll part two (the hey song) and guess what they were doing, clearly most O’s fans are also fans of UMD.
THE GAME
There was a delay to start the intros and the game due to rain. (Bummer Teixeira didn’t melt)
First the evil empire
(picture)
And your Baaaaaltimorrrre Orrrioles managed by Dave Trembley
Then the actual game started.
CC got off to a rough start
(Something tells this a ball.)
B-Rob was making him mental, he gets on first then gets in the pitcher’s head and it all go’s downhill. Alos for reasons unknown Mora batted 4th. Here is one of several mound visits Jorge made
“My Grandma, what a big belly you have”
In first B-Rob was sent on when he should of stayed
And this occurred
In the third, the Yankees scored one but Orioles got three runs on Adam Jones triple that brought in two
Then the O’s “I want to marry him” Man Nick Markakis flied out but Adam Jones tagged up and scored to put the O’s 3-1. Then in the 5th, the O’s scored another 3 despite the fact all of Ribbies were walks and grounders (Yay small ball! 🙂 Then in 6th Jorge Posada (who’s fielding was dreadful for the game) unleashed all of his force in the more round 108-seamed mass and sent it over the wall.
Then the Yanks handsome man Xavier Nady hit a GRD (ground ruled double) which brought in Robinson Cano (he’s named after Jackie so you have to give him credit) making the score 6-3. Then the next inning Chris Ray came in (he should never pitch against them. He gave up A*Roid’s walkoff grand slam in ’07) (Foreshadowing right here!!) and guess what happened
He gives up a two run blast. Then the Yankee fans are optimistic again which is never good then my boy (until you-know-who is up) the Salad Man (my nickname for him)
Makes a great diving stop right in the middle of the infield, throw to first Jeter beats it out but Nady underestimated the Salad Man. He ran towards home and was doomed he didn’t even attempted to play pickle
and just stood there and waited for Melvin or Greg (I forgot who) to tag him. Then the signature moment the reverse Jeffery Maier homer.
(different angle)
If the O’s were at NYS after that hit you could most likely here a (commemorative first game) pin drop. That alos brought in Gregg Zaun.
I have to say Zaun had a good game he was getting good quality hard swings. I half jokingly suggested to Ztaknek that if he keeps hitting like that then when Wieters is called up he’ll DH most of the time. I did suggest in my post Orioles Spring Training III that they should DH him.
Also everybody in the bullpen not named Rivera is horrible espicaly the Coke guy (Ztaknek’s Opening Day post is going to make jokes about his name)
Then the Brim Reaper (the ‘tron was doing a movie and there was a logo that said that) came in to close the door. He did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then it was party time!!!
“Nice save” “Hey Luke aren’t you glad the O’s got rid of Bedard and Tejada and got us?” “Yes!”
“Way ta go son!”
Overall it was quite fun and I wish the crowds for these games were always so excited into the game.
Guess Who’s On SI
This is awesome!!! The Yankees are jinxed don’t believe me, well here’s why.
My Mini-Review of Confessions of a She-Fan
My little sister and I went to a massive playground and across the street is B&N (Barnes and Noble) and while in B&N I remembered that I wanted to check out Jane’s book:
However I wasn’t interested in purchasing it yet (I’d welcome an autographed copy, hint hint) Seriously if Jane can hook me up, I’d gladly give the info needed to send it. I was curious to hear her thoughts on:
My homepark. I first read Chapter 17 cont. I like the quote, “He [Cal Ripken] is god there”
Well Jane, he was getting extra special treatment because as mentioned elsewhere in the book, 2007 was the year that he got inducted into the HOF!
Ztaknek still likes Brooksie better even though he saw Rip’s (as the real fans call him) whole entire career. I thought that there were some great quotes in this chapter. Here are a few of them:
“He [A-Rod] must be seriously constipated.” 🙂
“They look at me as if I have six heads.”
Jane I would be in the lookee category not the looker. There are some idiots nearby at times.
And she mentions the Sunday game in that series which had a rain delay and they showed Cal’s induction speech.
I remember being at that game!!!!!!!! I really don’t have photographic memory but when it comes to baseball, I think I just might. I remember just walking around the lower deck walkways to pass time and stay dry.
Also there was a quote that wasn’t in either of the two OP@CY sections. She met an obnoxiouss Red Sawhx fan and she was talking to Jane. Let’s just say I the think these two guys could of had a better conversation:
Or at least Jane made it seem like it. She also had a quote in that happy conversation which I liked. “The Baltimore fans know what it’s like to win…” I don’t since I can’t remember a winning season but Ztaknek does.
Now moving on to Week 26. The 2nd best quote in the book. Jane asks O’s legend Boog Powell, (seen scoring in the 1970 World Series against Hall of Famer Johnny Bench and the Reds)
Who do you like in the postseason? He looks at her t-shirt with that evil symbol,
And what was Boog’s reply? ” Not your team!” That’s a nice one Boog!
And something else, which caught my eye. For the Sunday game in a series she had seats in Section 360 BB and if you look at my URL you’ll notice it gives the section, row and number of that seat. And CC is one row above BB. It’s entirely possible I saw her, but I didn’t take a photo anything like that. Actually the real best quote in the book comes from Mr. She-fan or Michael. “We’re in Canada not Afganistan, ” Overall an excellent book however I didn’t buy it primarily since it had a high price at the B&N I was at and my Dad didn’t have any money.
We’re Gonna Boo Texeiria
MLB Preview: Orioles
I’m going to start writing team previews. I shall begin with the O’s.
Orioles Preview
Key Additions: UTIL Ty Wiggington, OF Felix Pie, P Rich Hill, P Koji Uehara, C Greg Zaun, UTIL Ryan Freel, SS Cezar Izturus
Key Losses: P Daniel Cabrera, P Brian Burres, C Ramon Hernandez
The Baltimore Orioles were one of the most busy teams in terms of free agency. Seven key additions. However the Yankees signed the two main free agents the O’s were bidding for: Mark (insert cuss that ends in ing here) Texeira and A.J. Burnett. I along with pretty much every other O’s fan out there would pounce on Texeira gear. However the Orioles moved on and Andy McPhail made some nice moves. He changed up the rotation. I’m so glad that he got rid of Hernandez and Cabrera. Cabrera as the O’s Fred Manfra and Joe Angel describe him as: A girl with curly hair. It’s either is really good (say the time he had no-no against the Yankees through 6 or 7) or really bad. He always made me nervous. And Ramon Hernandez was a slow poke. He never seemed like he was hustling. However his back up Guillmero Quiroz was always hustling. The Orioles also did two things to really boost their revenue. Change uniforms which result in big time cash for those who want to get the up to date gear and they also signed a Japanese player. And according to my fellow bloggers who have Dice-K or someone else they take tours and hold up signs that nobody can read.
The Orioles farm system is freakishly gifted. They have Matt Wieters!!! This guy will be the O’s version Evan Longoria. Speaking of the Rays the O’s have plenty of similarities. First they changed their uniforms, second they have a big name prospect waiting in the wings. I strongly believe that the O’s can be this year’s Rays.
The rotation of the Orioles got treated like a child with a easily breakable toy. They break keep some of it then put it back together. But the thing is is the toy put back together nicely does it stay in it’s awful shape. I think it’s pretty good. You have Jeremy Guthrie who could be a Cy Young winer. NO I’M NOT OVEREXAGERATING!!!Then you have the guy who I’m really starting to take a liking to. Koji Uehara (上原 浩治). Like I said earlier this guy will get a lot of fans. I going to have to bring a cheat sheet with basic Japanese phrase in English and Japanese for things like Get A Strikeout Koji!!
The Orioles outfield seems like an outfield that could be one for the record books. You have Nick Markakis who somehow hasn’t won a Gold Glove, Adam Jones: the crown jewel of the Berdard trade and the tag team of Scott and Wiggington. Thats an outfield loaded with potential.
The infiled is solid too. You have a palyero f the month at third, a gold glover at short, and All-Star at second and a guy who hit for the cycle at first that makes the infield sound pretty good. The thing is those guys are Melvin Mora, Cezar Izturus, Brian Roberts and Aubrey Huff. With the aqusition of Izturus the O’s found a reliable shortstop. Last year I’m not sure which there were more of, shortstops starting at sunday home games or wins at Sunday home games.
The backstop is the main interest. The $1,000,000 for me and every O’s fan. When is Matt getting called up!!!! Here’s a trivia nugget. Gregg Zaun is related to Orioles broadcaster, WS MVP and ex first-base coach Rick Dempsey.

Who gave up George Brett’s famous/infamous pine tar homer?
MLB 09 THE SHOW Chants
Although I don’t have a PS3 I know one of the features is if you have a mic from guitar hero or anything like that you can record your cheers and jeers. I brained stormed some for the Yard. These could be funny
- Jeer-Mark Texeira: Hey Mark if signing with the Yankees makes you a hometown hero then you clearly failed geography!!
- Chant Jeer- Any Yankee: YOU’RE PAID TO MUCH!!! (CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP)
- Jeer- Any Fat Guy (Sabithia, Howard, ect): Hey CC try adding this to your vocabulary I’m full
- Jeer- Ryan Howard: There are other foods beside the cheesestake Chubo.
- Jeer- Prince Fielder: Your not supposed to eat the the meat running around the field.
- Cheer- Melvin Mora: Melvin get on RBI for each kid you have.
- Jeer- Valdimir Guerreo: Hey Vlad there’s a ball on the moon you can hit it.
Speaking of THE SHOW I’m pretty sure when I get it on the third guess who’s a free agent. Manny. Now I would want to sign him with Pirates or another team in the dumps so that way when the start franchise mode I will have a decnt chance. However do would a team like that have enough money. Manny could DH for the Orioles….
A-Roid Entry
I along with about every blogger who hasn’t been under a rock since Saturday is saying what they have to say about A-Roid. I (partially because I’m a Yankee hater) had a funny feeling he had something. I didn’t buy anything in the Canceso collection but I always knew something was up. Look at him when he was with Seattle and when he was with Yankees and their certainly is a difference. Lifting more weights doesn’t get you that big in a decade or so. However he did admit that he was doing it. He was stupid, naive and a bunch of other negative adjectives. Now he has a lesson to teach the kiddies. However he did claim that Selena Roberts did criminal type activities which is hard to beleive.
I knew that nobody was safe from steroids after the Mitchell Report came out and who was on the list: hospital visting, always hustling Brain Roberts. He was the kind of guy you would never think uses that stuff.
Speaking of the Orioles I’m going to Opening Day against the Yankees and the Yard is going to have more Yankee hatred then usual. They have A-Roid who was never liked in Baltimore. Then there’s Texeira, he will be booed more then A-Roid for he could have been a hometown hero and sign here but no he signs with the filthy rich Yakeees. In that same series is A.J. Burnett the hometown hero Plan B is Texeira didn’t sign then he was their backup plan but he also signs with the Yankees. Oh boy that wil be fun.
The Orioles have had their share of Roids or suspected guys:
- David Segui
- Miguel Tejada
- Sammy Sosa
- Raffy Palmerio
- Larry Bigbie
And probably more guys who I didn’t mention.
This a brief list of people who the extremely doubt use steroids
- Howard (unless donuts are banned substances)
- Manny (The Manny Being Manny code of conduct doesn’t include needles)
- Jeremy Guthrie
- Cole Hamels
- David Wright
- Pedroia
- Lincecum
I’m curious to see the reaction at school to this. I am in the younger tier of bloggers but I’m not doing any of that “They were role models but now they’re just selfish jerks” stuff. I don’t know what to say about the game’s image. How about America’s image. From some one out there who’s non-American there thoughts must resemble ” The U.S. isn’t doing so well. Their American past time has issues with people using drugs and thier famous swimmer also has a problem with drugs. “What’s next that Obama fella also has a problem with drugs.” Needles scare me. I wouldn’t take a needle anywhere for any reason unless it’s a vaccine.
Up in Section 360
