Who's making it to The Yards this weekend? There certainly isn't much motivation even if you're slightly more than a casual Halos fan. Why? Well...

1. Piniero Saturday. Chatwood Sunday. Of course, right? I've been planning this weekend since January and this is how the rotation shakes out. Awesome.

2. Orioles are 17 games under .500 with a team ERA near 5. So much for that awesome start. But of course that means the Angels will interpret ERA as a per series stat and put up 4 runs in 3 games.

3. Vlad's on the DL. FML and FYB you filthy dirty racist pricks. I'm glad you didn't sign Willie Mays. America is better for it.

4. Bourjos will reportedly be available Saturday, meaning we were thisclose to witnessing The Trout Experience in the EST. I should probably just go fly fishing.

5. 102 Saturday. 94 Sunday. Those are temperatures you spoiled Pacific Coast brats.

All that being said, I'll be in the standing (beer drinking) section Saturday prior to a poorly scheduled bachelor party and in Section 45 Sunday. In the shade.

There's certain things you should experience as an American human, and one of those is a sweaty humid miserable summer day at a ballpark in the east. If you're there, let's grab a beer and toast the Halos. Woot.
