The bullpen was stellar last night.  I find myself watching intently as if the O’s are in a pennant chase. Some thoughts: What a great call to have Adam Jones lay one down to secure the victory. Simon will fall deeper down the bullpen rotation if he continues to serve up gopher balls. Markakis is [...]

16000 watched the Orioles tough one out Tuesday, as Luke went yard twice and Wiggy and Adam Jones also went deep. The Orioles rise to 30-63 on the year.

Winning is always great!!! In the middle of the 5th , I hear Tillman has a N0-N0 going and that the O’s have gone deep 3 times against Mr Invincible Cliff Lee.  Unfortunately the no hitter ended with 1 out in the 7th on a cheap ground ball hit but Tillman threw a gem and [...]

Sandwiched around an amateurish defensive effort from the Orioles, were 5 homers from Wiggy, Adam Jones, Patterson, Tejada, and Luke Scott which led to an Orioles victory . The bullpen again was stellar which beckons the thought–don’t inject Gonzo into this bullpen.  21000 were in attendance for Matt Wieters bobblehead night.

Finally, Millwood gets a win. Simon pitched the 9th inning for a save.

It always bugs me when a team deserts its Coach. Kyle Boller never said one word of support for Brian Billick even though Coachspeak probably lost his job over the Boller decision. Trembley–love him or hate him—refuses to toss his non-performing players under the bus. MacPhail has been hesitant to dump the Skip probably because [...]

I only post this because I doubt if many of you stayed up to watch this. No one knows what to say anymore. The absence of Brian Roberts is killing the offense. Gonzo is out for at least 3 weeks, so there is no closer and let’s face it when he returns there probably still [...]

For the first time this year I rushed home from work had dinner and settled in to watch phenom Brian Matusz pitch. Overall it was a solid not great effort. He seems to have several speeds of change up and had Adam Jones not broke in on a deep fly to center, Matusz would have [...]

Yes, the Orioles lost today (Sunday 8-2-09) 18-10.  Just couldn’t get that last touchdown and the “A.F.L.” 2 pt. conversion to put the game in o.t. Sad isn’t it?  And the O’s are 4-12 since the All Star break.  And even those who agreed or disagreed with the Sherrill trade can’t even say if the former O’s closer [...]

It’s official the freefall has begun. As the trade deadline approaches the only Oriole where there is any interest is George Sherrill. The Birds are only looking for 3rd baseprospects. Seems to me like George has about 2 days left as an Oriole.  Has anyone seen Luke Scott’s bat–going back to last week’s Monday Yankee [...]
