Mr. Elias… I don’t feel so good…
This ride is making many of us sick, but we’re strapped in, and need to stay through to the end. The Orioles are in one of their classic Dark Ages droughts, going .333 in May (5-10). What can we say about this week of Orioles Baseball? To make it easier, we brought in the big guns: the Baseball Widows make their triumphant Mothers’ Day (ish) return to the podcast.
Join us for The Drink of the Week. Don’t forget to drink socially with us on Untappd.

Few Baltimore sports figures are quite as beloved as @orioles third baseman Brooks Robinson. Regarded by many as the greatest defensive 3B of all time, the Hall of Famer turns 82 today. Happy birthday, Brooks! https://t.co/PxS0qHiTBY pic.twitter.com/uPtWpOZpSc

Spotted this guy on the train in Tokyo. Asked, “How ‘bout dem O’s?”
Very dryly he responded in a German accent, “Oh. I see. It’s because of the, uh [points at hat]. I just like the duck. I think it’s cool.” pic.twitter.com/9k0LR62jFj

Mother’s Day (Belated)


One of our favorite traditions on Bird’s Eye View is turning over the mics to our wives (“The Baseball Widows”) on Mother’s Day. Since we were “too well to attend” last week, they’re making a belated appearance on Episode 267.
