I've arrived at Pickles, where despite the fairly early hour, a sizable crowd has amassed. There are a few hundred people here already, and they don't seem shy about partaking in their beverage of choice.
According to my completely unscientific survey, Miller Lite seems to be the most popular option.
A trio of friends -- Ken Compher of Fruitland, Mark Bromley of Annapolis and Jonathan Reynolds of Crofton -- has already been at the bar (or "liquid courage station," as Bromley calls it) for the better part of an hour.
The three are looking forward to the game and have been lifelong Orioles fans. Well, at least two of them have.
"I'm more of a fan of drinking," Reynolds said.
