I forgot how young Cla is.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a lot of value out of him for the next three years.

I used my last draft pick in one of my fantasy leagues on Claw.
I know feel very smart about said pick.
In one game as a freshman at Miami, Wieters hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth to put the Yellow Jackets ahead, then pitched the bottom of the ninth for the save. On that day, the God nickname was bestowed. - Sports Illustrated

W00T!
Need a countdown clock to home opener. And a Natty Boh. And some crabcakes. That is all.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
Boy I could definitely go for a good crabcake right about now
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
I'm glad I don't live in Baltimore
Because I might be tempted to break my kosher laws and eat a crabcake.

wha?
crabcakes aren’t kosher? is it the shellfish thing?

Me, too...
I’ll definitely have to get one at the Yard for the home opener.
Weaver's Fourth Law: Your most precious possessions on offense are your twenty-seven outs.
Where do you get crabcakes at the yard?
I don’t get there often, but will be there next Sunday. Would love to get a crabcake.
Get 'em outside the yard.
They sell ‘em inside, but there’s no way they’re worth the price.
Pre-game at Faidley’s in LexMarket. Get the jumbo lump backfin platter & it’ll set you back nearly $20 with a beer, but you know with every bite that it’s worth every cent.
And I’m drooling. Fantastic.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
OK where is this place?
I don’t know Baltimore well at all… is this Faidley’s within walking distance to OPACY?
Yea, but it's a decently long walk
it’s about half a mile up from Camden. Just walk up S. Paca (on the other side of the Hilton) and you’ll run into it. Paca is a block over (west) from Eutaw.
It's in Lexington Market

You should def give them a try
But they close at 5 and are closed on Sundays so it’s not the most convenient.

I think I'll get a crabcake on Tuesday because I'm most likely watching game at home.
Fuck it, I think I need to get some friends over, get Natty Bohs and MAKE crabcakes.

Crabcakes on Opening Day
Anyone who’s going to the game Friday, definitely get your crab cakes at Faidley’s. Best in Baltimore. And then if you need to buy an illegal gun, you’ll already be at Lexington Market.
This just in: adorableness on the rise, family copes with child getting schooled. Film at 11. -daveh873
Maybe LUUUUUKE will autograph it at the game!
The gun, not the crabcake.
BTW, if you go to Faidley’s and eat there, you will smell horrible for the rest of the day. Just a warning.
ahahaah
I’ve been there plenty of times, I’ve never noticed stinking before.
This just in: adorableness on the rise, family copes with child getting schooled. Film at 11. -daveh873
Maybe you are used to it
I remember the 1st time I went there we spent a good 30 minutes or more. I walked back to the hotel and my clothes were covered in stinky. I had tot take a shower and change my clothes before going to the game.
That wasn't Faidley's. That was just you.
OH NO YOU DIT’ NT!

Wha?
Did you rub yourself with bad fish?? The fish is fresh at Faidley’s, it doesn’t stink.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
I don't know what to tell you
I know my shirt smelled awful. It didn’t before I was in the market and it did when I left.
I'm so glad I'll be able to watch!
It’s a relief because I won’t be able to watch a lot of early season games.

"The moment you stop thinking you're the best, it's time for you to get out the game." -'King' Mo Lawal
From Adam Jones:
“Obviously, everyone knows the [American League East] division we play in, it’s not fun going on the road, but you got to. So we just have to do the small things to win. We’re not going to sit and wait for the three-run home run. We have to make sure we have the intangibles and do the small things right in order to beat those guys. "
Oh not! It looks like Trembley’s small ball method is infecting the team!! Nooooooo!!!
"Real Orioles don't pout. Real Orioles don't gloat. Real Orioles just win."
I hope
“small things” refers more to “not fucking up” than it does to “do a shit ton of hit and runs”
cxcxcxcxzzzzzzzzz
I don't know...
we all saw last year how doing however many (we’ll call it ‘X’) hit-and-runs didn’t work. The Orioles were one of the worst baserunning teams in baseball, and also were relatively low in the home run and runs scored department.
So, if X hit-and-runs didn’t help offset the low amount of homers, then the only possible answer is to double X and hope for the best.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
Well
I want players to sweat the small things, but not play small ball. If he is talking about running out ground balls and not running the bases like Melmo and playing good defense then he better be concerned about doing those things.

**AMAZING NEWS** (to me at least)
I’m a 26 year old male in the military who got married to my 9-year girlfriend (also high school sweetheart) about 13 months ago.
On Sunday, I got back to my car and found my favorite childhood teddy bear sitting in the driver’s seat holding something in his hand with the not attached….
… you guessed it! A POSITIVE pregnancy test and a note saying “You are going to be a DADDY in November”.
I pitched to her an idea I’d been having for awhile…. if it was a boy, I’d name him….
CAMDEN NICHOLAS BRITTON
SHE TOTALLY WENT FOR IT!!!
Hopefully, I’ll be taking Camden to Camden in 2011 so we can watch a competitive product…. after all, I was born 2 days after the Orioles won their last World Series, October 18th, 1983.

Although when I first read that I thought you said your 9-year old girlfriend….I did a double-take on that one…..

You can't get ready.
And the hospital does NOT hand out instruction booklets.
You and the missus are on your own, just the way God intended. :)
Seriously, it will bring out the best in your. Patience you did know you had, an appreciation for stuffed animals, and size 2T overalls, and Gymboree may become your favorite store. And the little fishing rods they make these days for 4-year olds? Cute as a button. You’re in for some serious fun.

Get as much sleep as you can starting now … you’ll need to store it up.

I think there are going to be alot of Camden’s running around the park in a few years. When we have a kid that’s the name we’ve chosen as well (hopefully it’s a boy).
With your last name, I would have gone Camden Zachary Britton, but thats just me…
Thank you all!
Its exciting and surreal news… Ive met a couple of you and as you guys know, I’m not exactly ‘Daddy material’, but Im gonna give it my best shot. LOL

The Zone would work, I had blast at ESPN Zone when I was a toddler.

Wow that's scary
The ESPNZone wasn’t even there when I started coming to Baltimore, and I was already 12 at that point. You were going there as a toddler.

My friends announced their engagement yesterday and I was all “congratulations. I hope this isn’t an april fools joke”
So Congratulations to you for real, man. That’s awesome. just like those radio commercials “we’re gonna name her…camden” It’s a nice name.

I’m still waiting for them to let us know it was a joke.
Oh geez...
Is it a girl’s name? I always thought it sounded like more of a boys name.
Or “Cam”, for short.
by Wieters Wieners on Apr 2, 2010 11:43 AM EDT up reply actions
It can be either, I think
Cam Britton is a cool boy’s name.

are people gonna think it’s after Camden, NJ? Because that would be an awful place to name a child after.

Yardley is an actual name
http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Yardley
It means “fenced meadow”, although that doesn’t really make it any more attractive than it already isn’t.
Yea, i've thought of that
I doubt it though. Anyone who knows us knows why we’d be naming him Camden, and we live far enough away from Camden, NJ that it isn’t always the 1st thing that comes to mind. Also, we’ll probably no longer be in NJ at that point anyways.
Apparently, it can be both
although that commercial really cemented it as a girls name in my mind, so I kind of did a double take when you said it’d be a name for your son. But then I did a quick Google search, and it’s historically been a boys name. Congrats!

Dang it
MLB.tv is free today. Guess who the O’s are playing? Yep, the Yanks, which means I was already going to be able to watch it anyways. So far MLB.tv and MLB Network have offered to let me watch 2 games for free and both are being broadcast on YES anyways. Wonderful.
LOL that story from 2008
Cabrera was taken out in the fifth after failing to get a single out, striking out two and walking five, allowing six earned. He looked awful out there. Where are you, zknower? Defend your boy!
I stand by my prediction that Kranitz is going to do some good things for Cabrera this year, and that by the All-Star break, Danny Boy will be viewed as one of the nicer stories of this season.
Hee.

I was checking out Viva el birdos for their take on the Lugo deal
Some enjoyable stuff. The Wigginton celeb look alike was great. Some of the players they think they could get back are hilarious. Also, someone made a 5th place team joke. Fuck you, Cards fan. Maybe if we played in a shit division and had to beat the Mets in the playoffs (after getting in to the playoffs by winning 83 games in said crap division) we’d have gotten lucky and won a WS too.
Sorry, i’m a bit touchy. Anyway, here’s the link.
I like how they're getting worked up about who the PTBNL will be
A string of that thread was almost like reading Roch commenters. Maybe some of them were being ironic.
