Baltimore Random Thoughts

Camden Yards is a beautiful place to watch a baseball game from but my money is still behind San Francisco's AT&T Park as the best of the new baseball palaces. Fenway and Wrigley (in that order) are still the best places to see a game... The award for best bar in the Camden Yards neighborhood goes to Slider's. Its located next to the more famous Pickle's Pub but I can't imagine having a better time than we did at Slider's. The good people behind the bar saved us countless trips to-and-from the bar and simply allowed us to buy our Bud Lights by the case. Nothing screams out "This bar is F------ amazing!!!" than a case of iced down beer on your table... I can not recommend any places to get breakfast in the city but the Bud Light drafts and wings at the Hooters located right on the Inner Harbor aren't a bad option at 11 am on a Sunday... Pilots think they are badasses. They are not. Ask me another time... The award for best bar in Baltimore goes to MaGerks. Best steak-and-cheese sub I've ever eaten and enough drinking-related horror to make Tucker Max cringe... Thanks to Mark and Bernie for not losing my connection... The Orioles are almost as bad as Delta Airlines but with Matt Weiters, Nick Markakis, and Adam Jones, they have the makings of something good. They will contend by 2011... My humerous and almost serious attempts to open a brothel in Bistro 300, the hotel bar at the Hyatt, were not well received... Boog Powell's barbeque stand was decent but it is way overrated... Enjoy heartburn...
