This is Birdland!!!

While Mickey was visiting we decided to go to an O's game....too bad the Red Snots were in town. They ALWAYS beat the O's and the tickets cost more because they are "premium" games. "Premium" games are games that draw bigger crowds for the visiting team...so basically the Red Snots and the Yankees (as I vomit in my mouth a bit) constitute "premium" games. The weather was beautiful as we walked up to Camden Yards....even though I know that God really only hates sports teams from Detroit...I agree with the sentiment from the United Methodist Church.

We started by going to the Camden Club for some pre-game drinks and some food. My friend Angie (Dr. Duke) joined us at the Camden Club. Our friend bar tends so we get some pretty good deals on our drinks...as long as we tip extra well!

Mickey and I pause for a photo when exiting the Camden Club. As a true O's fan, I had already consumed a couple "orange crushes". Mickey was enjoying Long Island Iced Teas

The game went as usual...the Red Snots were up by 7 in the 6th inning. My favorite hot dog won the race though...the RELISH came through!

Dr. Duke is from Massachusetts and so was enjoying the Red Snots beating the pants off the O's. We never even found the seats we bought tickets for. We just went down behind the dug-out and sat where there were four seats together. When people would show up to sit there we just moved on to four different seats!

The Bird cheers on Matt Wieters...the newest addition to the O's. It is very exciting because he is a great catcher AND he can hit! Too bad at this point they were still down 8-1.

Uh Oh...here comes the rain!

It started pouring rain and there was a mass exodus for cover. I think Mickey and Tito were the last two people to run for cover.

We ended up going back up to the Camden Club to wait the rain out. The rain delay was over an hour long....

But soon enough we were back in our seats and, in fact, had upgraded to three rows behind the Oriole dug-out! And...to our great surprise...the fucking Baltimore Orioles made the biggest comeback in Oriole history! They came back to win the game! I am sure that if Mickey hadn't been there we would have left during the rain delay and missed the greatest game in O's history.

THIS is how close we got...Aubrey Huff's ass was staring us in the face. He plays first base.

We Tivo'd the game and found ourselves in the stands during one play...when several O's scored after a hit by Brian Roberts. In the camera shot of us, Mickey and I are yelling and screaming our heads off, Dr. Duke is sitting with her arms crossed (obviously distressed by the downhill spiral of her beloved Red Snots), and Tito is missing because he had to run to the bathroom! Finally!!!! It wasn't me that was gone to pee!

Our favorite O, Nick Markakis, gets interviewed after the game. It was a FANTASTIC game and we had a bitchin' time. Seriously. It was bitchin'.
