Hello again, Camden Chatters. A happy Mother’s Day to the moms in the crowd.
The Orioles played two yesterday, winning the first and dropping the second to halt their winning streak at four. I’m going to stay optimistic though, and say that they’ve won four out of their last five which is pretty good indeed! I’ll take an .800 winning percentage any day of the week.
If you missed yesterday’s games, you have two recaps to catch you up. Mark Brown was the lucky one who got to recap David Hess’s first major league win, while Joe Wedra drew the short straw and had to write about their 10-3 loss.
For those of you who are watching the standings, either hoping against having the worst team in baseball or hoping for that sweet first draft pick, the Chicago White Sox remain one game worse then our boys in orange.

John Sickels posted this before Hess made his MLB debut yesterday. Hess was the 26th man in the doubleheader so he's already back to the minors, but I'm guessing we'll see him again soon.

Is today your birthday? Happy birthday! You have so many Orioles birthday buddies! The first is current Oriole, Mychal Givens, who turns 28 years old today. Givens celebrated yesterday by picking up his first career save.
It’s also the birthday of David Hernandez, who spent 2009-2010 with the Orioles and who is now in the Reds’ bullpen; Ryan Bukvich, who appeared in four games for the 2008 team; Lyle Mouton, who spent 18 games playing for the 1998 Orioles; and Juan Beniquez, who spent 17 years as a major leaguer but just one (1986) with the Orioles.
