saying bye bye fOr year
wayward O went up to bronx last night for 12-0 drubbing. just to say farewell* to team in person, kind of. it was nice to see "first team"** out there; wayward O mistakenly thought that meant Orioles would have fighting chance.
during 6-run janqui fourth, mora and huff couldn't catch grounderz. they were hard-hit balls but three of 'em ... a liner and two grounders ... and none caught.
seats costed $60 a pop.
yankee stadium is down to last 100 ballgames or so ... depending upon how many playoff games. the place has stately charm, but it's really quite a mess. lots of crud everywhere. lots of it on wayward O's seat. seat was so filthy t.w.o. had to sit on cardboard deal you get when you buy concessions.
guess how much 24 oz. coors light costs from vendor? first correct guess wins a prize. and -- this was highlight of night -- only at yankee stadium:
five bucks. a buck more than camden tards.
at one point wayward O's lovely girlfriend asked wayward O, as yankee celebrations abounded, "are you sad they're losing?"
"don't even go there right now," was all wayward O could say.
and after 6-run rally wayward O went to get beer and yankee fan said to wayward o, "tough night."
in reply, wayward O said, "tough ten years."
ten years is blink of eye in overall expanse of this great and beautiful game that we all love and some of us must endure pain before we can experience victory.
back in mid-90s when wayward O would visit bronx, hostile yankee fans were threatened by Orioles and there was lots of venom. now they just kind of tolerate Os fans like you would a retarded cousin.
meh. he's harmless and i only see him for a few hours a year.
that might be saddest part of it all. wayward O will know Os are good again when yankee fans get sour again.
prior to season wayward O predicted big year from curtis granderson. he's become wayward O's favorite ballplayer. it is too bad bonderman was ailing and tigers don't appear to be able to upend yankees. especially because it gets the traitOr another chance to glom on for a world series ring.
now that would be depressing.
* this doesn't mean wayward O will cease to blog about orioles it just means no more trips to the yard this year

i was kinda' wonderin' if you'd be there...
me and lex went monday nite...i gotta say thanks to lex we fared better than you on ticket cost -- $0 courtesy of some engineer who's hopin' lex will send more work his way....sweet.
those 24 oz bullets run $9....a fact that i became doubly aware of when i spilled my first one within 15 seconds of it being handed to me....not so sweet
yankee victory...sweet
twib note -- we ran into chris hussar at the game....with a little coordination, we coulda' played cards while watchin' the game
cheers, deion
I love the Google ad on the right that says: "Looking for Rafael Palmeiro?"
Haha why yes, I am. And along with him, I'm still looking for that proof he said he'd have that he didn't do steroids. You thought we'd forgot you said that, Raffy...
dude click on it and wayward O gets like 3c.
btw ... we have a winner!
deoin's guess of $9 for a 24 oz can of coors light is correct!
deoin your prize shall consist of goodies next time we meet or perhaps a beer if it's at the bar some where.
Thanks for a great season - see you in the hot stove league.
