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.

The Yankees will not have an easy time with the Angels–why—Vlad Guerrero.  I still believe if the O’s could have closed the deal when Vladimir was a free agent, we would not be in the mess we find ourselves today. This guy is a pure winner. However, the Mercenaries are just too deep. There is [...]

I have to tell the truth, the last 2 nights I wanted to puke. How could we have given up George Sherrill. Bill Ripken said he believed Sherrill is the strength of the Dodgers bullpen, as George got the victory  Thursday night.  Then last night I had to watch Tex go deep to win the [...]

The O’s took a step closer to 100 defeats as the bullpen ailed to hold a 3 run lead —-again, losing to Tampa Bay 7-6. With 6 games remaining the Orioles are 60-96 in the midst of a 11 game losing streak, as the forfeiture of 2009 continues.

60-93 or 20-45 post All Star Game—I neber thought these would be the numbers this year. Perhaps replacing George Sherrill waon’t be as east as many have mentioned.

Losing Sherrill would not have changed anything significantly for the Orioles.  Last place with him or without him.  However MacPhail is doing a great job despite the w-l record.  The foundation is being set for a much better season next year and a contending team in probably 2 to 2 1/2 years from now.  Outstanding [...]

I am to assume that a Single A closer is worth forfeiting the remainder of the season because by jettisoning Aubrey Huff the chances of the O’s winning 22 of their remaing games and winding up with 70 wins is very remote. Why does this matter you might ask? Season ticket holders pay the same [...]

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 [...]

Well thats 2 games in a row the loss of George Sherrill was no factor. The Birds had 10 baserunners but no runs as untimely hitting was their achilles again. Red Sox nation was in full force as Camden Yards was SOLD OUT.
