I guess Miquel Tejada figures you can home again.  Miggy is being brought back to play 3rd base which begs the question how long will iut be for Josh Bell will be ready to step in at 3rd? After all the O’s gave up its ace closer George Sherrill to get a 3rd baseman. Can [...]

If the guy can still hit and we can get him at a reasonable price, welcome home Miquel.  Which begs the question –Why did we ever trade George Sherrill for a AA third baseman. Also, who did we get for Aubrey Huff. I wonder how many fans can answer that one.

Competitive Balance is a joke, but the way things are, will never change. So you have to adapt. The O’s are in NO way a poor team. We are in the 5th largest market in the USA. They could afford a $98 million dollar team12 years ago, but the can’t do the same over a [...]

Some comments on the responses from Bob on facebook:
Let’s get it straight , I still love and support the Orioles and still purchase my season tickets unlike many who have dropped theirs. Bob, I know you still must have your tickets as well.
Patience–how many years have we lived with a team way below .500.  When [...]

Andy MacPhail certainly has been busy, with the Baltimore Sun reporting the O’s adding Garrett Atkins and Mike Gonzalez, both players in their prime age and some of the better players of the free agent market.  One move I am very happy about, the signing of Atkins, [...]

John Lackey and the Red Sox are close to a deal. The Yankees signed Granderson. Why am I not excited to get my Oriole Season Ticket bill? Another year and we have absolutely no chance!!!

I will keep this short. I hope Josh Bell turns out to be our 3B for 10 years, but I know George Sherrill would have been our closer for 3 or 4 . Now with the loss of Steve Johnson because we didn’t protect him on the 40 man roster–this trade looks even more ridiculous. [...]

So the Orioles actually made a big move which involved spending some cash.  On Wednesday the O’s got Kevin Millwood from the Rangers plus cash for Chris Ray and a player to be named later according to the Baltimore Sun.
Last year Millwood, who will be 35, finished with a 13-10 record and a 3.67 ERA [...]

No arbitration?  No problem, for now
Two days ago the Orioles declined arbitration on four players, Melvin Mora, Danys Baez, Mark Hendrickson and Chad Moeller.  They can re-sign, but all four will head to the free agent market. The Orioles have made it pretty clear that Melvin Mora will not be coming back.  It was not [...]
