Paul's team party.

Last Saturday, Paul had a team party here are pictures and videos.

The cake. CUBS ARE #1!

Here's a better shot.

This is Paul receiving his trophy (My mom is a little incompetent when it comes to taking videos.)

No sweep!

Yesterday was day of the rookies. Wei-Yin-Chen pitched 12 K's, Omar Quintanilla had a homer, and this new guy, Lew Ford can throw people out.

#1. Chen's career best 12 K's  help O's down A's.
#2. Ford cuts down Cespedes stretching a single.
#3. Jones' double puts the O's on the board.
#4. Quintanilla's homer pads the O's lead.
#5. Wieter's 3-run shot puts Orioles up 4-0.
#6. Chen fans 12 A's over 5 2/3 innings of work.

Wei-Yin Chen was the big story for Baltimore on Sunday. Chen set a new record for Taiwanese-born pitchers with 12 strikeouts -- despite pitching only 5 2/3 innings -- as the Orioles rolled to a 6-1 victory over the A's in the finale of a three-game series before 19,698 at Camden Yards.
Baltimore Orioles news, by Gregg Luca

I was at the game yesterday, and the Yankees will lose tonight, GOOOO ORIOLES!!!

You've been..... BOOMED!

David "BOOMER" Wells, a former Yankee, pranked fans going into the Fancave disguised as the boom man.

Sculpture photos

I was at the Orioles game last night and took pictures of the statues (except for Frank Robinson)

Jim Palmer doing a karate kick. lol

Earl Weaver.

Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

It seems every player who's been on their team forever is leaving! First it happens with Kevin Youkillis, (after 7 years with the Boston Red Sox, Youkillis goes from Red Sox to White Sox, in Chicago) Jose Reyes, (after 9 years with the New York Mets, Reyes goes from Mets to Marlins, in Miami) Prince Fielder, (after 7 years with the Milwaukee Brewers, Fielder goes from Brewers to Tigers in Detroit) Albert Pujols, (after 11 years with the St. Louis Cardinals, Pujols goes from Cardinals to Angels in Anaheim, CA) C.J. Wilson, (after 7 years with the Texas Rangers, Wilson goes from Rangers to Angels in Anaheim, CA) Jonathan Papelbon. (after 7 years with the Boston Red Sox, Papelbon goes from Red Sox to Phillies in Philadelphia) And this is the one that has surprised the Baseball World. ICHIRO SUZUKI IS NOW A NEW YORK YANKEE, AND JOINS ALL THOSE OTHER JERKS UP THERE!!!! After 11 years with the Seattle Mariners, Ichiro goes from the Mariners to the Yankees! RRRRRRR!! REALLY?!?

32!

I was supposed to put this out yesterday but I said in this post I would ask Dad to measure my throw. 32 yards. Same as my speed and Matt Wieters' jersey.

Awesome win!

Great game! we had a 6 run inning in the 3rd and Jim Thome but I'll let the highlights explain that.

#1. Orioles fly high against Lowe.
#2. Gonzalez hurls 6 2/3 innings of two-run ball.
#3. Jones scores on Davis' forceout.
#4. Thome hits his first O's homer, career No. 610.
#5. Flaherty rips a three-run shot in the third.
#6. Orioles score six runs in the third.

Indians will get killed tonight (even though Tillman is pitching for us) GOOO ORIOLES!!

Playoffs and championship

Paul played in his league playoffs and they also won the championship! In the first game, we won on a walk-off single, the second game we won no big deal and we were the  championship winnas! The last inning of the championship was hilarious, one of our players kept rallying the crowd with, LET'S GO CUBS! And, GIMME A "C"! C! GIMME A "U"! U! GIMME A "B"! B! GIMME AN "S"! S" WHAT DOES THAT SPELL?!? CUBS! and, (trumpet) CHARGE! It was pretty annoying but he was just like a mini Rick Dempsey. Paul played outfield the whole tournament in the outfield but he had a good time. I can't post any pictures cause Mom forgot the camera and used her phone and she's trying upload them on the computer. When they're uploaded, I will post them.

Earl's sculpture.

When Deacon Jack told me he was going to the Birds game June 30, I asked him to get me an Earl Weaver statue, he got me one here's the picture:

Then I put'im next to my Frank Robinson, and here's the picture of both of them:

2 down, 4 to go. At the rate I'm going,
I should have all the sculptures
by the end of  the season!
If you're wondering whey there's
a space between them,
Brooks Robinson was supposed
to come next.
