Andy MacPhail made the right move. I am never in favor of managerial moves just for the sake of a move. Look how disastrous it has been for the O’s. The demise of the Birds this year was based on the dismissing of George Sherrill and Aubrey Huff. Joe Torre could not have won with [...]

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.

The O’s need 3 wins to avoid the embarrassment of losing 100 games. I said it the day Sherrill was traded, that it was the forfeiture of the season. The bullpen blew another game last night. What I don’t understand is how in the 10th inning , Trembley had an outfielder strike out on a [...]

Tonight’s game was quite the feat for the Orioles.  Baltimore, facing an Angels lineup with eight batters hitting around .300 and going against Jared Weaver, who had a 12-3 record going into the game.  The Orioles crushed the Angels 16-6, capped by Felix Pie getting the 4th cycle in Orioles history. After hitting his triple, Pie flashed some fist [...]

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 [...]

David Hernandez again pitched well for the O’s. Combine this with some strong hitting from Nick Markakis and the Birds coasted to an easy win.  Markakis was moved to the cleanup spot and responded witha 2-4 performance including a home run. The Orioles come home and hopefully they will respond in order to save their [...]

The Orioles were totally dominated again by the Bronx Bombers. The question needs to be asked can we ever compete in our division. The team just seems so resigned to defeat. Where is the clubhouse leader?    What next?  In a move that will totally depress Dino, the Orioles spring training home will move to [...]

The Orioles continue to sink deeper into last place as the abysmal road show continues. Brian Roberts and Markakis each had 3 hits last night in a losing cause. Jim Palmer commented that SP Hill had absolutely nothing on his ball and basically was just throwing and hoping. He can not continue to start. Again [...]

A routine throw to first that was inexplicably dropped by Ty Wigginton opened the floodgates for the White Sox to score all 4 of their runs to deafeat the O’s 4-3. The one bright spot of the game was the the arms of the Orioles’ outfielders. Reimhold and Markakis each threw strikes to elimate 2 [...]
