[Orioles gave Jeter crabs]. You bastards.

Returning the favor he's given so many women, I suppose.

I loved what Buck was saying ahead of this, how he wanted to have a portrait of Jeffrey Maier signed by the whole team and presented by Tony Tarasco (on loan from the Nats I suppose).

Not the first time, won't be the last.

That's why I love the Orioles. We don't hold petty grudges against opponents just because they are tough outs. We show them the respect they deserve.
