BREAKING NEWS - MANNY GOES TO L.A. (the only REAL LA team - you're in Anaheim Angels, deal with it), LA sends prospects to the Pirates, the Pirates send Jason Bay to Boston.
Thank God this d-bag is out of the AL East. I'm so sick of heading about Manny and I'm so glad that d-bag is gone. Hopefully I'll post more on this later.

Boston Fans are douchebags? NOOOO!
In the course of 10 minutes, two Boston fans have managed to make fun of my blog. One of them, a former co-worker, is a nice guy and I'm told the other one is also a nice guy in person, but acts like a "mASShole" over the internet.
Listen, I'm sure most Boston fans are probably nice people...and if they stuck with their team from 1918-2004, good for them. But a lot of Boston fans are what we like to call bandwagon assholes. Cheering for the Red Sox is the new fad, the latest fashion. Much like popped-collar mania, I'm adamantly against it. Most of the U.S. was behind Boston in 2004 (I was not one of them) because no one wanted the Yankees to win another title. I knew, however, that Boston fans were already cocky, even in the mist of a 86 year title drought, so how obnoxious were they going to be once they won a title? Well, as I predicted, way to obnoxious for most of us to handle. An then they get all these bandwagon folks behind them and you get a red suxs nation filled with d-bags and assholes. You walk down the street in many cities in the U.S. and can't help but feel like Rick Moranis in "Spaceballs" when he says "I'm surrounded by assholes!"
Well Boston fans, think about this. From 1918-2007, you've won 2 World Series titles. In HALF of that time, the Orioles have won 3. Up yours.

Orioles Magic, Feel it Happen!
After beating the Red Sox AGAIN yesterday, you can't help but think there is some Orioles magic about this season and this team. Its like the team's decided to restore the "Oriole Way" back into the organization has resulted in a resurgence back to the great Oriole teams of yore. This team is fun to watch, is entertaining, and they're going to go down swinging, no matter what. As Brian Roberts recently said, teams are going to have to work to get all 27 outs against this group. Its also good to see the fan base starting to get re-energized. Orioles fans have suffered through a lot over the last 10 years with the only real bright spot being Ripken's induction into the Hall of Fame. At the game on Tuesday, I heard Orioles fans were fighting Boston fans because they were tired of them trying to take over Camden Yards. Although I don't condone fighting (well, off the record I do), its nice to see that passion returning to Oriole Park. (video below)
This team, according to "experts", was suppose to be dreadful, losing 100+ games, finishing in last in the A.L. East, etc. I believe Vegas put the over-under on the number of games they would win at 64. But this team has shown that the so called "experts" really just have their heads shoved too far up their own asses to really make a reasonable prediction about a season before it starts. These are professional athletes and telling them they're going to suck has only fueled their fire and passion. So thank you, all you National sports writers, for making my home town O's better. You all look like idiots now and are eating crow, some of you even having the audacity to say that the O's will STILL lose 100 games. Swallow your pride and do some insightful reporting for once.
Onto another topic, The "Oriole Magic" song, which was a creation that arose out of the 1979 (thanks for the correction, Michael) season, and was a staple at the start of every home Orioles game since that season. But at the start of the season, the song was stopped from being played at the request of the players. They thought it was linked too much to the past. Well, after yesterday's come from behind win over Boston, the song was back, but with a new, updated version featuring the Orioles of the past and current team members as well. Kevin "Dr. Feel Good" Millar has lead vocals, and Adam "looks like Eric Davis" Jones is on drums.
"Something magic happens, every time you go, you make the magic happen, the magic of Orioles baseball! When the game is close, and the O's are hot, there's a thundering roar from 34 to give it all they got. And you never know, who's going to hear them call, every game has a different star, that's the magic of Orioles baseball! Orioles magic, feel it happen, Orioles Magic, feel it happen, O-R-I-O-L-E-S. Magic, magic, magic, magic!

O's in first!
Take THAT Seattle! Da O's are in first place, hun! Maybe all of you Boston Bandwagon fans will start cheering for the O's now...I mean, they're in first place. Isn't that what you guys do, just root for the team that's doing best? Or maybe most of you are just d-bags and found the Red Sox to be your common bond...but I digress...
So while the O's are in first place with a 4-1, (make that 5-1 after Huff just homered and the O's have won yet again!! Swept Seattle - Impressive!), I must enjoy this feeling for as long as I can. The Orioles are supposed to be bad this year...really bad. 100+ losses bad. But aside from their opening day loss, they look like anything but a bad team. Good, patient hitting, good defense, and a strong bullpen. If we can get our starting pitching straightened out, is there actually a chance we could be, dare I say this, a .500 or better team? Granted, Luke Scott isn't going to hit .500 all season, the bullpen isn't going to be this dominate, especially if they have to keep coming in early for starters that aren't doing their job, and you can't always count on coming back in the bottom of the 9th when you're down 2-0. But that does show you this team won't give up. They have bought into Trembley's attitude and style. This has to give O's fans hope...hope that the team is going in the right direction, hope that the offseason trades are going to pay off (it looks more and more like MacPhail robbed Houston in the Tejada trade and that the Bedard trade will benefit us sooner than we thought), hope that some of the players last year *cough* Huff *cough* severely under-performed and still have some pop in their bats.
Listen, I know I'm a homer a lot of times, but how can Orioles fans not be excited about this? I know we still have 156 more games this season, but maybe we will be better than expected this year. Maybe, just maybe there is some Oriole Magic in the air. And if not, we're going to enjoy our time in first place as long as we can. That is what 10 straight losing seasons will do to you.
And after all, so long as Boston and NY not in 1st and or 2nd, that's a moral victory right there.
