An overdue honor for Robbie. Of course, with how long it took to get Mussina in there, I suppose this is just the pace at which these things move.

GIFs: Seagull Interrupts Mariners-Orioles Game

Best part of the game last night.

On this date in 1970, the O's defeat the Royals. It marks the O's 23rd straight win over the Royals. In 1977, EDDIE! EDDIE! Murray jacks a Homer from each side of the plate in an O's victory vs. Oakland. In 2009, the O's hang a 5 run 1st inning on Justin Verlander. They go onto to lose the game via a bottom of the 9th, 2 out Home Run. Vintage 2009 O's style. Happy Birthday to Matt Hobgood!
