I've been waiting for this day since last October. I can finally go back to Camden Yards and see an Orioles game. It's ironic, the last team I saw the O's play at home last year was the Blue Jays, and that's who they'll be starting the 2010 home campaign against.
The Blue Jays took 2 out of 3 from the Texas Rangers to start the season. Vernon Wells is off to a hot start for the Jays hitting 4 homeruns in only 10 at-bats. Going to the hill for the Jays is Brandon Morrow, who was acquired by Toronto in the offseason from Seattle. He mostly pitched in relief for the Mariners, so it will be interesting to see how he makes the transition from reliever to starter.
Brad Bergesen makes his 2010 debut for the Birds. Bergesen was off to a solid rookie season in 2009 before a line drive of his shin ended his year prematurely. I'm hoping he can pick up where he left of in 2009 and continue to impress the Orioles and their fans.
On the offensive side of the ball, the O's have struggled to hit with runners in scoring position in the first three games of the season. They will look to break this trend today against the Blue Jays. Matt Wieters is off to a hot start in 2010 going 6 for 12 against the Rays adding a homerun and 3 RBIs. Free agent acquisition Garrett Atkins has also looked good at the plate hitting a double in each game of the series and adding 3 RBIs.
I'm going to the game today, so I probably won't be able to post anything until after the game at the earliest, and that's a long shot. Enjoy the game, and GO O'S
