DMV: Biggest Comeback in O’s History
By Jamie Mottram | July 1, 2009
After being down 10-1 against the Red Sox, the O’s score five runs in the seventh and eighth to win 11-10. It was the biggest comeback in the history of the franchise. And it was capped off with a two-run double from Markakis against Jonathon Papelbon, who likely didn’t do his infamous jerkoff fist pump afterward. [Baltimore Sun]

Markickass’ double may’ve been the highlight of the season.

Also, rewarding was listening to Lurch (Junkies WJFK) try and defend the best bullpen in baseball.
Face it, the Sox blew it.

I was at the game, sitting 300 section with way too many shirtless guido Sox fans. And sadly I left midway through the rain delay in the 5th. So I missed the comeback and it bothers me to no end. DAMNIT!
