The beauty of being an O's fan is any come-from-behind win can fall under the nebulous category of "Oriole Magic".

Ah, Oriole Magic, those halcyon days of the late 70's and early '80s when no lead was insurmountable.

Last night, Melvin Mora brought a touch of Oriole Magic to Tampa Bay, connecting for the game winning shot in the top of the 9th off Dan Miceli.

For the love of all that's good and holy, give Melvin a new contract!

Meanwhile, Jim Brower's first two weeks out of the bullpen have vaguely resembled someone pouring gasoline on a raging inferno and chanting incantations to the dark lord Satan.

Not a good start.

The O's return home to Camden Yards tonight for a 4 game dance with the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim".

F**k it, for the rest of the weekend, I'm calling them the California Angels.

Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it!

Rodrigo Lopez tries to get his ERA down to sub-Sidney Ponson levels tonight while going for his second victory; Ervin Santana will try to rain on the O's parade.
