Baltimore Orioles @ Toronto Blue Jays


I don't remember how to make gamethreads. But this is the first game I've seen in months, so I'm taking a crack at it. It's already 1-0 O's in the first.

Go O's!

OK, I’ll stop now…..

GO O’S! Even some Orioles fans are Republicans or conservatives, and they;re welcome, too. Hell, we’ll even take Libertarians, Rastafarians, Druids….. just rock the orange and black, we’ll have them.
