It really seemed like outside pitch after outside pitch were called for strikes tonight against the O’s.Normally mild mannered Nick Markakis lost his cool and was tossed from the game.

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 [...]

It was great to settle in to my sofa after returning home from the National Sports Collectors show, to watch the final 4 innings of the O’s Games. Guthrie and Wiggy led the way yesterday. And yes, that is the New Markakis being  a leader by example. 5 out of 6 for Buck!! For a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
