Beer for breakfast? Are you mad, Higgins? Calm down friends. I'm merely echoing the catchphrase of Hall of Fame broadcaster Chuck Thompson, who would be 95 today. By Thompson's telling, he used the phrase "when things were going especially well for the home team", which might apply to the Orioles right now...except they're on the road, but you take my meaning, yeah? In the last week the O's have defeated the Red Sox and the Blue Jays, taken a series from the Yankees and swept the Royals. More please.

In 2010, Jake Arrieta notched his first major league win as the Birds defeated the Yankees. David Hernandez also was credited with his first major league save.
