Gallows humour has kicked in on the O's boards ... :(

Take one sip when:

Jones strikes out swinging on a low curve ball
Wiggy pops out
an Orioles makes a one-pitch out
an Oriole makes a stupid base running mistake
the opposing team scores an earned run

Take two sips when:

the opposing team scores an unearned run
every inning past the fourth that an opposing pitcher maintains a no-hitter (take an extra sip if the pitcher is Pettite)
the opposing pitcher uses 10 pitches or less in an inning
the Orioles blow a four or more run lead
the Orioles blow a save
two fielders watch a ball fall between them that they both could have caught
the Orioles make an out with two outs and a RISP
the Orioles have runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs and don't score
Guthrie pitches 7+ innings giving up 2 or fewer runs and still gets the loss

Take three sips when:

every inning past the fourth that an opposing pitcher maintains a perfect game (take an extra sip if the pitcher is Pettite)
the Orioles four+ run lead... in the 9th
the Orioles have the bases loaded with no outs and don't score
the Orioles are shutout

Chug:

the opposing pitcher throws a no-hitter
the Orioles lose by 10+ runs

Replace the alcohol with poison when:

the opposing pitcher has a perfect game
the Orioles lose a game 30-3

27 years of hurt.

Have you ever read any books by Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post?. His best known ones are How Life Imitates the World Series and Why Time Begins on Opening Day. But in The Heart of the Order there is a wonderful essay about Brooks Robinson called 'The Hoover: Called up to Cooperstown'. Well worth a read, as is the rest of the book.
