sunday surprise

Some people out there are saying that yesterday's post-game celebration was a little over-the-top. Yes, we are still in last place in the American League, our pitching is completely unreliable and even our (almost) all-star Brian Roberts sat out because of a recent slump. So some might say it was excessive when the Camden Yards crowd went wild, the word "FINALLY!" was broadcast on the bottom of the MASN screen and Dave Trembley showed up to the post-game press conference puffing on a cigar.

All I say is that it's obvious what the Orioles are (and aren't) going to do this season. But that doesn't mean we should not be able to celebrate a winning game, especially against a starting pitcher who's 11-5 on a team that had scored 31 runs in its previous three games. If we don't have excitement for the Orioles, we don't have much.
