When #19 Jeff Conine left the Orioles, I needed a new scruffy semi-asshole guy to root for, preferably someone in the tradition of Billy Ripken, BJ Surhoff and Joe Orsulak. Along came #19 Aubrey Huff, a lefty hitting, righty throwing first-baseman (sometimes). He's a grinder and he fit my prototypical gamer Oriole mold.
Tonight he hit for the cycle, only the third Oriole to do so, and all four swings were perfect lefty power alley swings. Huff, not known for his speed, now owns 12 career triples, 1000 career hits, and 200 career doubles.
The Orioles lost, despite coming back from a 5-1 deficit, 9-7. Chris Ray, of course, blew the hold in relief in the 9th inning, his 6th loss and 10th decision, nearly all as a closer. The famous slugger Howie Kendrick did the damage. Regardless, Huff's performance was very impressive.
P.S. -- Orlando Cabrera hit a solo homer in the 6th or 7th inning. I was the security detail during autograph sessions for Cabrera (and Javier Vasquez) when the Sally League A Delmarva Shorebirds were an affiliate of the Montreal Expos and I was a lowly parking attendant/onfield entertainment assistant. That means I sat at their table and enforced the "one item per fan" rule.

Two more things:
1) I hit for the cycle with Aubrey Huff in MLB Baseball 2K7, the only player with whom I've accomplished that feat.
2) I DID NOT update Aubrey's Wikipedia page, though someone already had by 10:56p tonight.
What would have been more impressive is if you had updated the Wikipedia page to reflect that information at about 4 this afternoon.
Haha, good point. "Ummm, errr, I just happen to live in Stamford, CT, the home of the WWE and I 'guessed' that his wife would be dead."
Maybe that guy was a laid off Dunder Mifflin employee from the Stamford branch. Future Dwight might have sent him a fax.
It is so scary that you and I are on the same page like that. The very first thing I thought of when I heard about this was Andy leading the group around the office chanting "STAM-FORD-CONN-EC-TI-CUT clap-clap clap-clap-clap"
Your Dwight picture might have put me on that track.
