Orioles announce "We Win You Win 2"
In an effort to snap their 14-game Sunday losing streak, the Orioles have announced a sequel to the popular "We Win, You Win" promotion from July 6. The "We Win, You Win 2" promotion will raise the stakes, as all fans in attendance at the 1:35 p.m. game on Sunday, July 20 against the Detroit Tigers will receive two complimentary tickets in the same seating category to any future non-prime game, if the Orioles win.

Anyone?
Any statisticians out there who can put up odds on this one? 2 tix is a good deal….
Burres has started 17 games
O’s record in these games: 9-8
Burres has 7 wins to 5 losses. Seven. That counts for something.
Looks to me....
like it’s a 50/50 proposition, based on the O’s record in games he starts.

yeah, but that's like saying we are almost certainly going to lose in games where Guthrie starts
I refuse to believe that Guthrie makes the team worse because the players don’t feel like hitting when he is pitching.
But if it cuts one way, it cuts the other. I don’t think Burres inspires the team to play better, I think he’s just been lucky.
This isn’t to say that he can’t win, he obviously can. Guthrie still gives us a better chance to win however.
I think he's been lucky, too
I don’t believe the team is better when BriBri pitches, it just means for now, during this season, the odds are 50/50 the team will based on past outcomes. Not actual ability, you know.

That's why I phrased it
the way I did. :)

I'll wait for We Win, You Win 7
Some say he never blinks, and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves... all we know is, he's called Luke Scott.
I still can't believe they didn't call this

Shit, this is changing my plans
All week I was planning on going to the SUnday game because of this exact reason: Free tickets if we win! Even if we don’t win, it should be a fun time at the stadium. Crowd is always pretty fun when they got something riding on the outcome…
But I looked all over the Orioles site and couldn’t find a single god-damned thing. I thought maybe the promotion was only for that one random assed game.
So I got off work, and got tickets ready for MONDAY….too late now. No POTENTIAL free tickets for me…
I hope we fucking lose on Sunday, I really do. this is horseshit.

I'm already going Saturday
for the Orioles Magic DVD. Perhaps I’ll make a weekend of it.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
After the Sunday loss will it be "We win, You Win 4"?
1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256… If they can keep this up, after 8 more Sunday losses you’ll get an entire season and a half of tickets.
maybe...
they’ll have to start giving up premium tix. talk about killing two birds…you’d fill up sundays and anyone willing enough to see the o’s on a sunday this year would be die hard enough to do them birds proud when the yanqs or red sox come to town.
