( Former Orioles player Danny Clyburn Killed )

That is the question. Starting Friday night, I had what might have been a migraine, flu, allergies, exhaustion, some combination thereof or none of the above. I'm still not entirely past whatever it is/was, but I feel like I'm in a haze. As a result I didn't do a darn thing all weekend (well, ok, a couple really small things, but not the big to-do ( Read more... )

I have been to a whopping 2 baseball games this year. Down from 106 five years ago. So last weekend I decided that, darn it, I'm going to a game Saturday. Erm...the forecast for tomorrow is for 100 degrees, high humidity and a heat index of 106. Ah yes, also 'Code Orange' air quality, meaning don't spend significant time outdoors ( Read more... )

My original plan for today was the Baysox game. But it's 95 & humid, so that's right out ( Read more... )

Time for the annual 'Bark in the Park' at the Bowie Baysox game. Got a fair amount of sun, an enormous amount of dog-related swag, and plenty of sniffs and kisses. Mostly labs & poodle mixes out there today, although there was an Australian Kelpie/? mix that looked remarkably like CJ, minus the tan markings. So now I'm wondering if that's what's ( Read more... )

I exaggerate a bit - I left the Baysox game at 8:30 and while it was getting colder, it wasn't miserable yet. I'm told last night was not only cold, but the wind was blowing a lot. Thursday's game was suspended due to downpours. So tonight wasn't so bad. But my feet and back were killing me and I was dozing off with an hour drive ahead of me, so I ( Read more... )

On the one hand, I like when web sites are updated promptly.

On the other, it's a bit unnerving when they're updated while you're looking at them. Was that there a second ago? Am I hallucinating?

But in the long run, it is good to know the Bowie Baysox will start the season with 2 catchers and 3 outfielders after all. I'd just rather they didn't add ( Read more... )

The last baseball game of the season, Bowie's Fan Appreciation day. The good news is I got a nice fleece blanket for free. The bad news is I got sunburned, didn't win any prizes, did lousy in the autograph department and oh yeah, spent part of the game sitting in front of Roger. Roger had a cowbell. He rang it on command from the two old biddies ( Read more... )

The other day, ( I went on about seeing a triple play at the Baysox game. )

Went to the Baysox game tonight, semi-involuntarily. The last time I want to be at a Baysox game is a holiday fireworks game; but they're away the rest of the weekend and the weekend after Shore Leave, so if I don't go now it could be August before I can go again. And the weather is absolutely freakin' perfect. So I went...along with over 10,000 ( Read more... )
