Backing the Birds in 2012
So, I haven’t posted on here in a while but, because I’m a dork, I got this published on MLB.com. Thought anyone who follows me might be interested in checking it out.

lol!
Reynolds first HR - the dugout was giving him the silent treatment so he just ran right by Showalter w/o seeing his hand. Showalter’s response cracks me up every time I see it.

Orioles left-hander Brian Matusz pitches against the Phillies in the first. He threw four scoreless innings, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out four. ( US Presswire photo / March 10, 2012 )Best stats I’ve seen from Matusz in a long time. Likin it.
Keeping fingers crossed…

This year will mark the first time in history that ‘Bartolo Colon’ and ‘athletic’ will be used in the same sentence.
He’d be great at miniature baseball, if that were a sport that existed.
Rays say thanks to Andino
Orioles 2B Robert Andino was greeted with a standing ovation from those in the Rays dugout when he came to bat in the top of the first inning of what ended in a 3-3 10 innings later.
It was a tip of the cap to Andino, whose two-out, ninth-inning single scored Reimold with the winning run as the Orioles beat the Red Sox on the final night of the 2011 season.
The win enabled the Rays to clinch the Wild Card moments later.
“We just talked about that prior to the game, what was the appropriate thing to do? We saw him in the two-hole, we said let’s give him a nice round of applause,” Maddon said. “He was startled by it. He didn’t know what was going on. He was looking around. I thought it was pretty good.”
Andino wasn’t too startled. He doubled down the right field line.

Added to the list of reasons that Maddon is an incredibly classy guy.
