Its almost one in the morning and I'm still lying here thinking about the game. Largest comeback in Orioles history? From down 10-1 to winning 11-10? Biggest ever comeback by a last place team against a first place team? Second biggest comeback allowed in Red Sox history? What happened? Its just a mixed up highlight montage in my head.
In a post game interview, Dave Trembley said his favorite play was Oscar Salazar's three run home run in the seventh. I'm OK with that, but how about Felix Pie working his way out of the doghouse? How about Brian Roberts ending a 0-18 stretch? How about Matt Albers and Mark Hendrickson settling down that mess Rich Hill left behind? How about Matt Wieters coming through with the bases loaded? Didn't you love watching the Red Sox futilely arguing with the umpires when things were coming apart?
If I had to pick one moment to relive, it would be the moment in the eighth when Nick Markakis came up with two on and two out to face Papelbon. I always get a little chill at seeing two great young players facing each other with the game on the line. I anticipated a lengthy battle but Nick had other ideas. He smashed the first pitch into the left-center field gap, driving in two and giving the Orioles the lead.
Tomorrow Brad Bergesen is pitching for an Orioles team that is bound to be fired up. Should be fun.

I just so happened to be on Facebook during the rain delay and there was at least 30 comments that followed a local radio personality who bad-mouthed the O's.
I hesitated to respond but wanted to and didn't. Sickk and tired of the negativity but also not having a good feeling about the whole sitch.
Everyone counted the O's out and how wonderful it is to see them win it.
I wonder if they went on Facebook to nibble away at the time...teehee.
