all I've ever asked

I am so proud of my Orioles. They are holding their own, playing solid, respectable baseball and giving themselves a chance to win each time out. They carry the bearing of major leaguers and Dave Trembley is giving a clinic on modern managing with a young team. I'm happy to see it and hopeful for even better things to come. It's all I've ever wanted; something in my day to give me hope, the joy of anticipation and the chance to feel pride, however reflected.

Oh, and a series sweep over the champs and a grand slam are nice too.
