Leading Off

See, Orioles? We just wanted to love you. After an abysmal start, the Orioles put on a show in New York. If you’re anything like us, you expected the worst. And yet, we were rewarded with hope. Sometimes baseball is the worst. But this this weekend, it was the best.

This leads us to ask, WERE YOU THERE for the Orioles winning streak?

Join us for The Drink of the Week. Don’t forget to drink socially with us on Untappd.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

You may have noticed that real, live baseball passed last week, and we failed to revisit one of our favorite segments, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. We figured it was an exercise in small sample size, but… well… we’ve gotten a little bit of grief for it.

So, this is our mea culpa. We go through an extended version, but next week, we’ll return to the familiar format. In the meantime, feel free to remind us what we missed by tweeting us @birdseyeviewbal.

 

 

Happy Together
