Wieters Goes Deep as O's Beat Mets

The O's beat the Mets 6-4 0n Wednesday night (otherwise known as Adam Jones Bobblehead Night) at Camden Yards.

I was at the game, got my bobblehead and watched the Birds even the series...I'll be back later tonight with a full post from Wednesday's game and a new post from the rubber-match tonight...Go O's!!

First off, the Birds were looking good early...Koji Uehara went five innings, allowing just two runs off seven hits while walking none and striking out five. The 'pen wasn't as impressive as usual ( Mark Hendrickson walked in a run), but Jim Johnson earned the win and George Sherrill pitched a scoreless ninth for his 13th save in 15 tries.

The highlight of the game was Matt Wieters' first MLB homer this season...a 2-run shot in the second inning...my fiance called it, and I promised she'd get a full paragraph if she was right...first-pitch swinging and Wieters finally got the monkey off his back! Shaving cream pie and all...welcome to the 'Bigs' Matt...hope to see more from you soon! And to Nicole, my lovely fiance...Good Call!!!

The game wasn't over yet, though, it took another 2-run bomb from Aubrey Huff in the seventh to give the Birds the eventual win...

So far this season, this has been the best game to attend yet...An Adam Jones Bobblehead and the opportunity to witness first-hand Matt Wieter's first bomb...Go O's!

  1. Finally he goes deep, i've been waiting for it since he got called up, now he gots a triple, HR, Single, and Double to his name, he has done everything now, now he just need to keep hitting like that with HRs and we would be good
