Orioles Top Prospect Wins World Series in First MLB at bat

Wieters to debut on Friday

exitfare — Tue, 26 May 2009 23:55:27 -0000

Everyone can start wetting themselves now. I am super excited, but I want him to put up those big numbers in MLB before I anoint him king.

We have plenty of reasons to believe, but hopefully he'll give us one more reason to believe and forget about our awful starting rotation.

Via MLB Trade Rumours

He's finally coming...multiple readers have emailed that Orioles president Andy MacPhail said on MASN that top prospect Matt Wieters will debut Friday in Baltimore against Dontrelle Willis and the Tigers. Wieters, 23, posted a .285/.367/.482 line in Triple A. He slugged .552 in May.

is no longer with the team. The Blue Jays picked him up. This is easily the best news of the off-season. I couldn't stand the guy, so now I am glad he is gone.

I am glad that the Jays have a new batboy.

Thank you, Toronto, I love you!

Mike Mussina retires

Looks like Mussina is retiring, according to the Pinhead. Read more here.

Went out with a 20 win season. But not a ring. Too bad for him. He may have been reserved, but I always liked him as a player. Would have been nice to see him retire and potentially go to the HOF as an Oriole.

Friday 07/25: O's vs. Angels @ Camden Yards

exitfare — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:35:48 -0000

I'll be moving to LA soon and I decided to have some fun with it, so my girlfriend and I will be driving across the country. We'll be stopping in Baltimore this Friday for the Orioles/Angels game. Anyone else going? I am bummed I can't go to the Wednesday night game. It would be nice to see the '83 players.

Additionally, I am arriving in LA in time for the O's/Angels series out there, so like any true fan, I'll be checking out at least one of those games. I'd love to meet with any LA O's fan. I've also never been to that stadium, and although it looks kind of corny on team, it's baseball, so it will be plenty of fun.

Love,

Dany

OT: (NYC) I am doing a gig on Wed. on the LES

I know, it's Wednesday night -- I am with you there. I don't like staying out past 10 during the week any longer, but it's part of the job.

I am doing a show at Rehab (formerly Midway) featuring the talents of NYC bands The Teenage Prayers, Holler Wild Rose and Breaking Laces. It's going to be fun, and if I have my way, started by 9 and over by midnight.

And it's only 3$. If you find me, I can get you a drink ticket or two.

This is so great -- I am making a fanpost. I am so glad that they are called "fanposts" now because that speaks to me as a sports fan. I always felt, for the lack of a better word, gay, when I used to post diaries. It made me feel like I was opening my heart up to everyone, and as a male sports fan, I grunt a lot, eat pizza, drink Coors Light and spend a lot of time VENTING.

This past week, our beloved Orioles have had some tough opponents, and some of those guys are real GAMERS. These are guys that live and breath baseball and will do anything to win -- ANYTHING. These guys inspire me to do more in my everyday life, so I'd like to share with you why I am so inspired by them.

AJ Perzinskyzz (off topic, I know a girl named AJ who is pretty hot)

As illustrated by this picture, this guy doesn't take shit from NO ONE. You punch him, he's going to punch back thrice as hard. He eats dirt for breakfast, lunch and dinner and nothing will stop him from playing, not a bloody mouth, broken arm or smashed face, and it looks like the latter has already happened to him. He is the king of all GAMERS.

Derek Jeter

This man is the most storied player from the most storied franchise in the universe. Everything he touches turns to gold, especially routine ground balls to short. Don't let this photo confuse you, he is not a nancy boy -- even gamers need to smell nice, but when Jeter is in the pinstripes, he can do no wrong. With each swing of the bat, the debt of developing African nations is forgiven and angels get their wings. This guys is what it means to be a gamer.

Alex Rodriguez (AKA A-Rod)

He will break Barry "Everyone's Out To Get Me" Bonds' (tainted) HR record because he is all about hustle, being a team player and honoring the traditions of the great game of baseball. This guy lives and breathes for playing every single fucking day and is known by other baseball players as a consummate professional -- he's so professional that he even gets his nails done between each inning. He's not a pretty boy -- he just knows that gamers need to look good.

That's all for now! Who are the players that you feel are GAMERS?

OT: music I am mildly obsessed with right now

Bobby Cook & the Sleepers.

From London.

What it sounds like: Bruce Springsteen meets The Arcade Fire.

LIsten to the song "Secrets" if you really want to be floored.

My other favorite from is "Deja Vu," which is not on his Myspace.It's on Youtube though. http://www.myspace.com/bobbycookmusic

"Deja Vu"

Read me gush about him on my blog: Bobby Cook

I am really psyched to see him next month. If this is not enough words, then SB Nation can eat shit.

What are you listening to? Vampire Weekend is overrated (Yeasayer is better) and Band of Horses is the "Memento" of indie bands.

OT: NY CC's -- go see Lightspeed Champion tonight

exitfare — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 21:46:36 -0000

It's at Union Pool, it will be amazing.

Lightspeed Champion

I'll be the one with the '66 O's hat.

Also, I am doing a monthly club night at the Midway, the next one is 03/19 featuring the likes of The Go Station, Neimo (from Paris) and Saints & Lovers. It's only three dollars.
