Hey Sammy — DON’T PULL GUTHRIE, OK?

Nevermind….

If Wayward O had his druthers, which he does not … have … he’d go as this guy:

Or maybe a Memlo Hobo.

abOut last night…

Posted in hOpe springs eternal, the mOther's day massacre on August 1st, 2007 by The Wayward O

Wayward O was surprised the papes didn’t mention last night was Orioles first return to Fenway since MOTHER’s DAY MIRACLE MASSACRE. Apparently team forgot too. After loss to Yankees, Orioles went up to Boston and handed out some more pain to division leaders.

Game was Os at their best; from opening pitch home run off bat of the Diminutive Dazzler to Jamie “Grizzly Juice” Walker’s save it was a tense affair but Baltimores weren’t fazed, crazed or dazed. Wayward O was so excited about win he um took a spin around Internets and found a few photos from Associated Press to display here. Wayward O loves Associated Press! He feels guilt about displaying these picture but excited dwarfs shame right now!!


TrembO is dead ringer for Shatner

Bedard was all sick but still nasty


Corey is vacuum cleaner in CF


Manny is goofball!

There were so many more tidbits from last night to savor. How about the Young Savior going two rows deep in stands near Pesky Pole and stealing foul ball from like eight Red Sox fans? How about effective performances from Rob Bell and Chad Bradford?

How about Danys Baez not being in ballpark at all? Coincidence? Wayward O asks you…

sunday mOurnin’ comin’ down

Posted in the mOther's day massacre, wOe is me on June 4th, 2007 by The Wayward O
I tuned in Sunday afternoon,
With no way to hold my head that didn’t hurt.
The Mother’s Day Massacre was oh-so Bad,
And the DC debacle had been, even worse.
Then I fumbled through my closet for my Os hat,
And donned my cleanest dirty shirt.

An’ I shaved my face and combed my hair,
An’ turned on MLB.tv, to see the game.
I’d seen it happen twice before,
Late-inning disasters and poor relief pitchin’
But I figure how could it happen again?
Surely butts in Anaheim would get a kickin’

Then we crossed into the late innings
and Wayward O caught the sight of someone going to the bullpen.
And it took me back to somethin’,
That I’d seen twice before, somewhere along the way.
On the Sunday evening gamecast,
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
‘Cos there’s something in a Sunday,
Makes an Os fan feel alone.
And there’s nothin’ short of dyin’,
Half as lonesome as the sound,
On the sunny green baseball diamond:
Sunday mournin’ comin’ down.
In the park I saw Vladdy,
With a laughin’ little grin and a bat that he was swingin’.
And I held my breath to watch the ninth,
And pray Orioles could escape the innin;
Then I watched the slugger heading home
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin’.
And it echoed through the ballpark,
Like the disappearing dreams of Jeremy Guthrie
(sing it with the Wayward O…)
On the Sunday evening gamecast,
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
‘Cos there’s something in a Sunday,
Makes an Os fan feel alone.
And there’s nothin’ short of dyin’,
Half as lonesome as the sound,
On the sunny green baseball diamond:
Sunday mournin’ comin’ down.

with apOlogies to johnny cash and kris kristofferson…
