hip-hop has officially entered IRONIC PHASE

wait a secOnd....

at home of dangerous pies, galaga and the supersuckers?

markakis rhymes with izturis!?!?!?!?
uehara rhymes with mora!?!?!?!

wayward o has feeling team might reallly finally be on right track...

pOwder blue

first of all, wayward O feels pretty bad about previous post in some ways because wayward O loves baltimore sun but sometimes insinuations that creep into reporting get him riled up. and it's not peter schmuck's fault that he is wholly owned subsidiary of sam zell. we all know team stinks ... however. is what wayward O is saying basically. no need to constantly remind us.

but wayward O did not come here today to make baltimore sun blingee ... though he still may. he came here to tell you a secret.

THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS MIGHT BE GOOD!


56 wins in 2005; 62 wins in 2006; 69 wins in 2007; and 75 wins in 2008. And all along the way they've made a few shrewd, mid-market type moves and developed some talent.

occasional pissing and moaning about ramon ramirez aside -- and we as Os fans know how precious good middle relief can be -- with additions of mike jacobs and coco crisp royale seems to have talent at every position, four decents starters -- all still on the upside -- and a talented closer.

The Royals. The Kansas City Royals.

Wayward O is going to tell you something right now. If Royale gets into the playoff mix in 09 -- sometimes known -- as the play9ff mix -- and team is flailing around as is its September custom, wayward O is changing name to Wayward Ro and buying Royals cap.

Maybe not moving to Kansas, but rest of trappings will be there! Including KC's theme song.

baseball team is not stingy with magic! here is game-winner from night where wayward O was in attendance - in super club suite thanks to well-connected friends of wayward o (f.o.w.o.s.). it's like they say in SONG --- YUO MAKE MAGIC HaPPEN especially on RETRO CAP NIGHT and $2 NaTTY BO day at Pickles. Oh Wait that's every day in Land of Pleasant Living...


sorry about poor video quality! in fact do not EVEN WATCH VIDEO. who cares? much more important is that DARVIN HAM from the WUZZNarTZZ i mean WIZZNUTZZ has been digging around in VIRTUAL CRATES and he has found actual .mp3 of ORIOLES MAGIC THEME SONG ripped FROM ORIGINAL 45 VINYL!!!



Orioles vinyl ... feel it happen!
listen/downloaddon't forget to say "thanks" in commentz!
OMG-WTF-BBQ that FRENCH HORN INTRO is enough to make EDDIE MURRAY'S FRO stand on end!

download and enjoy and to one particular F.O.W.O. who suggested that there is NO NEW INFORMATION ON SITE, put that in your pipe and smoke it!! and put it in your ipOd -- or should wayward o say opOd -- and listen to it.

and to SUITE OWNERS, sorry there may not be any more MGD's in your FRIDGE. it's not my fault!!

and to MILWAUKEE BREWERS i worry a little about upcoming series but not too much.

and if you think that was a LUCKY DIG by darvin boy are you mistaken. and you have never been to see GOD SHAMMGOD'S MIXTAPE (not to be confused with TIM SHAMSTOPPARD and DON SHAMAASE) your home for all things MD/DC/VA sports oriented and many other nuggetzz to boot!

PS. and lastly to CATONSVILLE YOUTH RED SOX!! YOU RULE THOSE OTHER GUYS JUST LUCKED OUT ANY GIVEN DAY!!!!!!

a little drive-by truckers for ol' no. 31...

when it comes your time to go, ain't no good way to go about it
ain't no use in thinkin' bout it, you'll just drive yourself insane
there comes a time for everything and the time has come for you
shut your mouth and get your ass on the plane

[listen]

farewell, jay, and may the years be kind to you.

SO MANY IMPORTANT AND PERMUTATIOUS SONGS ABOUT BALTIMORE!

so Wayward O is happy to give you second installment of audiofile, featuring stephen malkmus' latest track, eponymously named....

baltimore*
it's a fine song with lots of guitars and HARBRINGERS OF PORTENTIOUS TRANSPIRATIONS. So let us have look at LYRICS (in italics) and take shot at ANALYZING MEANING:


Verse No. 1:
you come on like gangbusters, laying it thick
arboreal Sleestack, lost in the sticks
it's warm for a witch trial. don't you agree?
cold are the hands that would ever touch me.
this verse is primarily about Peter G. Angelos, but also about how sometimes fans get false sense of hope about team during spring training.


Verse No. 2:
you got the energy of a classic creep.
with sex vibe for miles and shark eyes asleep.
no intuition, no need to sleuth.
poor is the man who would sully my view.
it is very difficult for Wayward O to say what verse two is about. but he thinks it may have to do with Rick Dempsey.


Verse No. 3:
a one-minute story is all that you are.
a song undeveloped, beyond the first bar.
for all of your hustle, what did you win?
woe is the man with the Cheshire Cat grin.
verse three is clearly a paean to new Manager.

Verse No. 4:
you criticize life, you criticize pain
you criticize situations you've never been in
but dawn for the dilletantes will come soon enough
alright!
verse four is about how Melvin Mora feels after being thrown out trying to steal third with two outs.

Verse No. 5:
the panic is leaking through every clear pore
your animus weakened, acetylene torch
so root for the crucifix on the skull full of rot
alright!
i'm in love with the people
i'm in love with a saint
i'm in love with a soldier from BALTIMORE!
this last verse has something to do with how the team tanks every august and how Halloween is a time for Crabtown to embrace SEASONAL CHEER instead of WORLD SERIES.

as diaspOra salivates over maybe trades and hangs on each tiny snippet and rumor, and as we wait out winter time ahead of "next year" we start by officially crediting Sun writer Dan Connolly for COINING NICKNAME for upcoming year:

2008: the LOST SEASON

So ... CONFOUNDING. So ... MYSTERIATING. So ... EPIC and yet UNDERSTATED! LIKE IF EDDIE MURRAY WERE SUBJECT OF CORMAC McCARTHY NOVEL ... wandering barren earth with MUTTON CHOP SIDEBURNS AKIMBO.

But Wayward O must ask: If team plays kids and finally put oldsters out to pasture and develops a core of YOUNG LOYALISTS, to ride into battle alongside YOUNG SAVIOR, would that be a LOST SEASoN? to wayward O's way of thinking that would in fact be a FOUND SEASON.

anyway, so to soothe speculative pain of LOST SEASON, Wayward O, feeling very fancy, is instituting a NEW OCCASIOnial feature on baseball blog, which will highlight CRABTOWN MUSIC for Os Fans. Here is INAUGURAL OFFERING...
