And You Thought You Didn't Work on Sunday....

Go Oreo's !!!!!!!!

If you've ever heard the Maryland coastal accent 'Go Oreo's' is hilarious.... If not, you're missing out on one of the classic goofy American accents out there... Anyway, onto the post that Bobby has probably waited 15 weeks for....

Bobbo is a lifelong suffering Baltimore Orioles. Like clockwork, every first of the year, Bobby talks trash about how they have new prospects of trades that are going to turn the franchise around. A month into the season, Bob would pick on my Yankees slow start. Then, the season really started........

If you look in the standings, the Orioles are in , uh....... Last Place - again. Even Tampa Bay will undoubtedly finish ahead of them, which means Bobby will again revert in to being a Phillies fan again. Why do they stink so bad this year? Because like Seventh day Adventists, the Orioles have decided to refuse to work on one specific day all season - Sunday.

Yep, after winning on the first Sunday of the year - April 6th - they went on to lose on the next 15 Sundays in a row. Fifteen !! That is, until they finally snapped the streak yesterday when they beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-4. No doubt, no doubt that they have figured how to win on God's day, there is no stopping the Big O' Machine.....

I'm not the authority on religion, but I'm sure that there are some religions that specifically outlaw working on Sundays... Living in South Carolina, we can appreciate sacrificing something every Sunday. If you can tell me what idol, dogma or faith these guys are obviously practicing, I would appreciate it - and Bobby would definitely look into a conversion intervention....

I blame it all on Cal Ripken, and that silly streak of his.... I heard the owners spent all of their money buying bionic legs, knees and rotator cuffs for Ripken, and they had nothing left.


God Bless the Steelers and Nittany Lions, right?
