Welcome to Orioles Opening Day 2016! For the third year in a row I will attempt to live blog the Orioles first game of the season. If it’s anything like the other years, I’m sure that I’ll start out strong and fade quickly in both jokes and content. Enjoy the game!

For the second year in a row, we’re doing a live blog of Orioles opening day! Let’s get started…
(3:12 PM) – Technical difficulties, but De Aza starts off the Orioles season with a swinging bunt hit. Better to be lucky than good.
(3:15) – Check that, error on De Aza’s “hit”. Still good to be lucky!
(3:16) – Camden Depot writer Pat Holden’s favorite Oriole, Steve Pearce. If he can be half as good as he was last year, I think the Orioles would be thrilled.

(3:01) Richard Troxell (sp?) kiling it on the national anthem. He’s sporting #61 today. #vitalinformation
(3:03) Man I missed Gary Thorne’s voice. In my opinion, one of the better local guys around
(3:04) Just opened up my beer with a Sam Adams bottle opener that I got in Boston…OOPS!
(3:06) For anyone interested, I’m drinking a Bell’s Smitten Golden Rye Ale…drinking it out of my Cooperstown Hall of Fame pint glass.
(3:07) Catch your breath Gary Thorne! You sound like you’re about to have an asthma attack! Continue reading
