A few things to take with you tonight......
- Sweeps are Birdland!
- Alex Cintron WANTS to be Birdland, but he can't quite get the hang of it
- Nick Markakis Bobble Heads are totally Birdland.
- Watching 80% of Camden Yards flip up their bills when Shutdown Sherrill enters the game? You got it. Birdland.
- The totally loud section in the upper deck that spelled out O-R-I-O-L-E-S countless times most certainly met the criteria to be Birdland.
- My favorite Birdland in Birdland tonight? After Brian made that awesome play to throw out Miggi, he totally gave Miggi the "spotlight" claw that they used to shine on each other as teammates.

Question
Is the official first language of Birdland English? If so, Cintron… not so much on the Birdland.

I don't recall the "spotlight claw"
any photographic evidence would be appreciated.

Don't know where I can find it
But I’ll try. You’d know it if you saw it.

Can't find a picture, but found a description
from Roch
“Meanwhile, the Orioles are making spectacular plays in the field, including three from Melvin Mora. The dugout went nuts after his last gem in the eighth. Miguel Tejada almost jumped over the railing while making the familiar gesture with his hand, as if he’s plucking something out of the air.
It was explained to me that when a player does this, he’s shining a spotlight on someone.”

The loud section
Also got into a repeated “Yankees suck” chant against a NYY fan up there (wtf was he doing at an Os-Astros game anyway). Finally the Yankees fan was escorted out. That section looked like the place to be.

Bobbleheads
They’re surprisingly hefty but definitely worth lugging home. They even painted some grey shit lightly around his face. I think that’s supposed to be his permanent stubble.

THE POLL
why is Brian Roberts not on that list-He is the most consistent player we have?

Because getting picked off second base..
is not very Birdland.

Shutdown Sherrill is Birdland
And so is anybody else that flipped up their bills when he came in.
Birdland is the Shit!

and while he may not be birdland...
pablo picasso was NEVER called an asshole.
uh, but really:
-brian burres getting wins while for pitching like donkeyballs while st. guts gets fuck all for tossing gems is NOT birdland.
-being subjected to a brian burres vs. shawn chacon match up? also not birdland.

Yeah?
My section (388, FAAAAAAAAR left field) had a dude in a black unitard and orange undies with an O’s flag cape. He was Birdland.

That is fucking Birdland.
And, let’s face it: an outfit like that is either going to be Birdland or very, very gay.

From over at the crawfishes...
Orioles With Proper Managing Orioles manager takes out Burres now that there are runners on and he appears to be breaking down.Somebody in the Astros dugout should be taking notes.
When was the last you thought you’d hear an opposing team’s fan actually compliment the O’S managerial decisions. Birdland is fun.
Anyone notice that we have had to break out the Tankeray this year?

This FUCKING team is FUCKING AWESOME!!!
Closer George Sherrill carried a broom like an army rifle down the hallway after the game, peeked inside manager Dave Trembley’s office and said, "We finally got one."

Bring Back the Smiling Bird!
The Birds are playing better now, but I still think what I wrote last year is relevant.

Millar on last night’s game: “the hair is 2-0”
Trembly’s take on the hair (a couple of days ago): "The first rule of inappropriate behavior is to ignore it and hope it goes away. Unfortunately, Millar’s not going away."
