Got to love a feel good story. Especially when it involves a player or team that is just so awful, and comes back to charm their way into our hearts. In this case I'm talking about a team, and that team is the woeful Baltimore Orioles. Entering Aug 1st the O's were a league worst 32-72. 40 games under .500. 40 fucking games. But, over the last week or so Baltimore fans have had something to cheer about. The O's are 6-2 in August so far, after a sweep of the Angels, and taking 3/4 from the first place White Sox. Newly hired Manager Buck Showalter is having quite the impact bro. It seems like he has come in and changed the culture of this ball club. Come hungry, or go home. Buck is a no nonsense guy - a perfect element to add into an organization that has just eaten absolute shit over the last 12 seasons. Hey, maybe Buck just came into the clubhouse and said two things: 1. This season is fucked up the ass, so just go out there and play ball. And 2. If we have a winning month of baseball I'll buy all of you guys rub and tug subscriptions for life. Got a favorite mistress? She's yours. Just don't make me have to go back to Baseball Tonight. My pasty complexion doesn't look good under the ESPN lights.
We hear you Buck. Oriole baseball is the tits...for now.
