How many times in your life do you score front row tickets day-of, and still have free seats next to you for your beer? Answer: pretty much every game at Camden Yards apparently. Even when Zack Greinke is pitching. Buzz and I scored home run derby chairs, ate enough funnel cake to kill a horse and admired our hotel suite from the field, watching Kevin Millwood carry a perfect game into the fifth in a Orioles-Royals nail biter.
To be honest, perfect games are boring. Especially when it's the Royals-Orioles. You're already kinda expecting everyone to suck, so the 6 K's Millwood had by the time Alberto Callaspo broke the magic wasn't much to get fired up about. Luckily, right about the point when Buzz and I were loading up our beer tray, the Baltimore Oriole decided to show up in our section and eat Doug's head.
Here's what I'll say: Camden Yards might be the best park in America, with or without the fans. The tickets are fair, every seat is prime, and the Oriole is just a good looking mascot. If only they had a Cal Ripkin to make themselves relevant, this would be a team worth carrying about. As it stands, Buzz and I were just pumped to have watched 8 innings from front row seats, and the last two from our suite.
Sweeeeeet.
Orioles 4, Royals 3 (F/10)
