Thought of the day
As you've probably heard, Matt Wieters and his wife had their first son early this morning.
Sept. 28 is also special for a different reason.
Today is the one-year anniversary of Game 162, the wild ending to the 2011 regular season, which of course included the Orioles eliminating the Red Sox from playoff contention.
Funny that Boston would be in town tonight, huh?
