Barb's Burblings

Running baseball commentary

From the Notes section of tonight's scorecard

Want me to explain? Just let me know. And yes, the gametime temperature was 99 degrees. Whee!

Brian goes 2-2, with 2 walks, 1 stolen base, and 1 run scored. O's win, 5-3.

ETA: Ack! I just saw on Roch's blog that Tom Hanks, Ron Howard, and Dennis Miller were at the game! (Apparently Tom Hanks is celebrating his 50th birthday by visiting all the major league stadiums.) That explains the seemingly random applause from the lower deck. And I thought the guy they showed during the 7th inning stretch looked familiar...it was Tom Hanks, dancing to "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" and spelling out O-R-I-O-L-E-S. Awesome!
