I was about 2/3 of the way finished this when my Firefox decided to shut itself down.

But it’s almost 3 a.m. and my brain is still gooey from the win.

WHAT A SHOCKER.

No matter what happens the rest of the way, I feel like this one is going to stick in my craw for awhile.

much more patience than I did. I made it up to the rain delay, but then I couldn’t take it anymore. The umpiring was terrible, and I couldn’t stand to watch us lose to the 10th man, even though we were playing badly enough to lose against the Red Sox’ 9. I went and laid on my bed in a depressed funk, until I decided to get on the computer and play some games. ‘Lo and behold, when I checked the box score, we were not only scoring runs, we were scoring them in authoritative fashion. I got to the TV just in time to hear Jim Palmer say that Tony Randazzo should be ashamed of his umpiring (which made me smile) and see Nick Markakis put the 2009 Baltimore Orioles in the history books for Baltimore’s largest comeback in history.

But what a game!!! All I could think about was how payback is a bitch (Mother’s Day Massacre) and how I liked the camera shot on the kid rooting for the O’s, who was yelling to a PHN fan, going “What? What are you saying!?!?” When he realizes what the PHN fan is saying, he raises his first and goes, “Okay, I’ll fight you!” I hope I’m not the only one who saw that (Right after Markakis’s double). Sox fans are obviously very classy when they’re in another team’s stadium and their team coughs up the 9-run lead. < /sarcasm >

Well not all the way, but please tell me Luke Scott didn’t wear that shirt. There is nothing worse to me than a jock trying to preach about a mythical, invisble, megalomaniac. I am a Redskins fan, and had to deal with this garbage from Joe Gibbs for years and years.

However if we get more victories like this, I might be inclined to believe.

O’s ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

But he does deserve a bit of recognition for not letting the Red Sox walk all over him like other pitchers. Not that I mentioned him at all in my recap.

I gotta be honest, I had pretty much tuned this one out. Sure, I still had MLB Gamecast up on the computer, but I’d given my wife sole possession of the TV (rather than the usual flip back and forth) when PHN went up 9-1.

Tuned back in at 10-5, thinking “ok, we have a little bit of a game here”, but never expected this.

And never even bothered to check the score again.

Just wait till we get Tillman, Arrieta, and Matsuz in there, Orioles Magic at the Yard is finally back

I left the house to go on a first date and the score was 9-1. For some reason they were showing the game where we were, and luckily for me the television with the O’s game was right behind the girl I was with. I didn’t pay attention at all, and just happened to glance up and catch that the score was 10-6. I still didn’t think much of it, but payed a little closer attention. For that last 30 or so minutes, I couldn’t tell you what the hell this girl was talking about. And when we got back home I made her watch the post game show with me.

I’m already giving shit to the Sox fans in the office (They’re actually from Boston/New England so I respect that), and they’re totally accepting the awesomeness that was last night.

I want everyone to remember this game when it gets to be late in August and the O’s are closing in on another losing season.

I say that not as a cynic, but as a person who is thrilled for the future of this team. Regardless of what this team does throughout the rest of the season, it’s performances like last night’s that should give us all great confidence in the team going forward.

It’s a great day to be an O’s fan, that’s for damn sure.

I’ve become a guy the locals up here in MA ask for info when the plan a trip to “Camden Park”. I have two documents, one with the touristy spots only and one with a little more info for folks I know aren’t going to be Boston clowns (e.g., a group went last year to see the Rays play the O’s). I always feel a twinge of guilt when I hand out that doc, no matter how decent the recipient. But what are you going to do?

Well, I gave my directions to a guy and his son, who goes to school with my daughter, for a trip to yesterday’s game. Dude got to see Orioles history in person. He can tell me all about it.

There should be an option to select “All of the Above” - but since I only get one, Im giving it to Felix cause he seeme the most amped up when the game was over

and did not watch the remainder of this game.

I know it’s completely irrational, but I love the fact that he’s large, wears his hats all flat-brimmed, gives everyone palpitations, and that he has his own tagline.

“Never a doubt, Georgie. Never a doubt.”

He’s straight out of a movie about hard-luck ballplayers.

Of ALL the nights I have to drive three hours to go see my wife, who’s staying at my in-laws.

This guy is like Montanez. All he does is rake when given a chance. I wonder if he can learn to play 3rd base next season?

You know what I missed last night?

Awesome Mike Awesome.

What he would have spewed in the first half of that game would have been worth it compared to the abuse we could have given him in the last 3 innings.

He’s got to be an O’s fan at heart. Baseball Reference splits for Okajima doesn’t seem to be working now, but his ERA against the Orioles has to be huge.

I didn’t get my break until nearly 6 hours into my shift, at 8:00. At that point, Dave Johnson told me all of the scores and told me that the game was 9-1 in the fifth and it was in a rain delay. Sucks because I like listening on my break, no matter how bad.

I said to myself “at least they’ll be a game when I get off at 11” but that was only kind of joking because of the score.

I literally got home in the top of the 8th, definitely not expecting us to complete the comeback. But I witnessed as much as I could, and damn that felt good.

Going to the game today. Bergesen.

the condensed game on video is now available, even in the blacked-out Baltimore market, since the game is over, obviously.

Go to yesterday’s date, choose the O’s game, choose video, and it’s there. 15:00 long.

you may think of Felix Pie the baseball player, you have to admit that his displays of positive emotion are uplifting. I really hope he gets a chance at a full-time spot…just not with us seeing as our outfield is pretty well complete at the moment.

As for last night…well, what can you say?! Even ESPHN is giving credit where it is due. I do think that it is official that Rich Hill will never be that good though, which sucks considering he could have been Guts V2.0 (a decent starter acquired for nothing).

So I was watching on mlb gamecast on espn.com (I dont get my extra innings package until after the ASG) and decided to take a break during the rain delay. Well, my buddy called and I ended up playing call of duty til 12:45. I went back to my computer to check the stats and realized gamecast was still up.

Now I dont know how many of you know this, but if you leave gamecast up and you PC sleeps, it doesnt just refresh. It shows you pitch by pitch at about 1-2 seconds per pitch so you can follow what happens. It was getting near 1 and I just wanted stats for fantasy purposes, but I decided to watch just because I thought it was a cool feature.

So here I am, staring at a computer screen showing pitch locations 1 at a time for a game that was already over, and I start seeing runners on base. And then we cut the lead to 5. Nice, respectable.

Now another feature of Gamecast is it shows you the teams chances of winning. When it was 10-1, it said 99% Bosox. Then it went to 94% after the 5 run inning. Interesting.

So I continue to watch as my GF comes in and yells at me for still being up. We score 2 runs. I’m getting excited. All im thinking is “PLEASE avenge the Monthers Day Massacre, PLEASE!”. Wieters comes up with the bags chocked. I’m praying SO HARD for a Wieters GS. I get a single. I’m totally ok with that. The lead is eventually cut to 1. I’m on the edge of my seat watching this stat machine catch up to the real world. We go up 11-10. I’m in awe. I jump up and catch myself before I let out a yell.

Sherrill comes in and does his best Sherrill ‘08 impression. I’m freaking out. Gameday suddenly says 100% O’s. Holy Crap. We won. WOW.

So then I get to thinking about MBP, and please, if you’re still reading this, let me know what you think. I decided this game is in NO WAY about an MBP. No 1 player makes you come back from a 9 run deficit in 2 innings time. I say this day is MBP. Let June 30th be our holiday. I dont want to pick any 1 guy because more than any other day, this was about the team believing they could win it. And they did. Its above MBP. June 30th was BIRDLAND.

I’m totally watching the second half when I get home.

Why is there not a FanShot of last nights game. Of all games there is not a post of that game!!!!!

I was starting to think it might all be a dream. The rage against the umpires has nearly subsided. I can’t believe we made that happen.

Perhaps my favorite shot of the night was on the MASN post-game, they were showing the team high-fiving right after Sherrill sealed the deal. Felix Pie was going haywire with a huge grin on his face. Man, he’s dumb sometimes, but you know, it’s hard to hate on him for long.

Hi everyone! I have been reading this blog for a few months and decided today would be a good day to finally create an account, since I attended this epic game. I was in section 11 (under the cover, so we didn’t have to move during the rain delay) surrounded on all sides by truly obnoxious Sox fans. But there was never any thought of leaving — we drive up from outside DC to go to Orioles games so we had to stick it out.

MAN am I glad we did. My throat hurts like hell from screaming my head off. Salazar’s home run was what really electrified the home fans — after that, all the orange-attired folk were dancing and chanting and it felt like OUR park again. When we took the lead in the 8th I was almost in tears. I was also literally biting my nails from nervousness when Sherrill came in, and was half-convinced he would blow it… then could not stop screaming when he got the final strikeout.

People (including myself) were dancing all around the Yard after the game, strangers were high-fiving in the street… it was amazing. Definitely one of the best, if not the best game I’ve ever been to.

I wish I had photos from the game, but I was too depressed from innings 1-6 and too excited/nervous/delirious after that to get out my camera.

Now today I cannot stop randomly grinning. What a rush!!!!

how am i supposed to watch the game today?
