Orioles Game

On Friday night, Kyle's company treated everyone to an Orioles game in a suite. The suite was really, um, sweet! It was hot outside, but inside the suite, there was air conditioning and it was nice and cool. There were several televisions in the suite and a private bathroom (which I used lots of times). Here is the buffet set up.

There was all-you-can eat food including yummy crab cakes, pit beef, pit turkey, hot dogs, Cesar salad, cheesy bread sticks, vegetables with dip and hummus, popcorn, peanuts, Cracker Jack, and giant cookies for dessert. There was also sodas, water, and free beer. Everything was delicious.

Here's another view of the inside of the suite.

And this is what the outside seating section looked like. The chairs were really comfortable. They were padded, had arm rests, and were on wheels.

The O's were playing the Mets. There were definitely way more Mets fans at the park than Oriole's fans. Boog Powell threw out the first pitch. He played first base back in the late 60s and early 70s and owns the famous pit beef stand at Camden Yards.

The Oriole bird was out there on the field too.

I was trying to be optimistic that maybe the crappy Orioles could win the game. However, they won Thursday night, so I didn't really think they could pull out two in a row, since they've only won 17 games all season. Here are the O's taking the field.

Our suite was directly behind home plate. Kyle and I got there quite early, so we claimed seats in the front row of our little section. Great seats! Here's the view.

And here are Kyle and I during the game. Unfortunately the Orioles do suck and lost the game 5-1. Honestly I can't even believe they scored one run. At one point they had bases loaded with no outs and still couldn't score. It is so depressing. I don't know how those guys come to work every day. It's embarrassing. At least we got to eat free food the whole time. I guess that made it worth it. We had a nice time at the game.
