Tony Butler (DEL) - Came over in the Bedard trade, last night went 5 inn, 3 hits, 3 ER, 3 K’s, 0 BB.
Matt Wieters (FRED) - Last night he went 2-3 with 2 RBIs. He is third in the Carolina League in hits, 1st in HRs, and 1st in RBIs.
Nolan Reimold (BOW) - Struggling mightily early… […]

Cherish the good times…After all that has happened here during the last 10 seasons, we must must relish the good times. I would love for the O’s to split this current 6 game road trip. But, given the way they are playing, perhaps  I should aim higher.
One season has little to do with another… at least that’s […]

Erik Bedard’s mysterious hip injury has forced him to miss today’s scheduled start against the O’s at Camden Yards.  Does anyone else think that Erik “Mr. Sensitive, I don’t like to talk to the media, I never really liked it in Baltimore anyway” Bedard pulled a fast one on the fans in Baltimore???  Of course, […]

The  subject of this blog  is a very sensitive issue for me… the attendance at Oriole Park  on Wednesday. It  had  the lowest attendance in the history of the Yard.  I hate hearing it… I hate seeing it… It makes me feel sick. People (outsiders) think that because only 10,000 people showed up on Wednesday night that […]

Gibbons is gone! ALLELUJIA!!  It took long enough!  I hope Jay enjoys the $11.9 million … he should save it and make it last.  He won’t be playing baseball anytime again soon!
By the way … I don’t credit the Orioles front office for this.  I chastise … it should have NEVER, EVER taken this long!!!!!  […]

The Baltimore Orioles have just announced that they have released Jay Gibbons. It is huge news. It is clear sign that the club is absolutely committed to winning. Mr. Angelos, Mr. MacPhail and Dave Trembley showed that they give a damn and they should all be commended. Even more than trading Tejada and Bedard, this […]

So here we go boys and girls… A 162 game marathon begins at 3:05 p.m. on Monday (weather permitting). Opening Day still ranks as my favorite day of the year.   The site is Oriole Park at Camden Yards; 17 years after it opened it remains the greatest place in the universe.
The Yard serves as  a shrine to all  that […]

Opening day is less than one week away.  There are still several questions that need answering, like who is the fifth starer, who will start at shortstop, and what will the bullpen look like.  My question is what is taking so long?  Now, I have a good deal of respect for what Dave Trembley has […]

Here it is folks. At least this is my guess. And of course IF there is no Brian Roberts/ Jay Payton trade… your 2008 Baltimore Orioles Baseball Club (I think):
Starting Rotation (5) :
Guthrie(r), Trachsel (r), Cabrera (r), Loewen (l), Albers(r)
Bullpen (7) :
Burres (l) - longman
Aquino (r), Bierd (r), Sarfate (r) - middle relief
Walker (l), […]

Baseball America came out today with their annual Top 100 prospects in Baseball list. The O’s did well… Reimold 91, Patton 78, Liz 69, Tillman 67, and Wieters 12. Now, again Adam  Jones does not qualify. But when asked, the editor of Baseball America John Manual said today that Jones would be slotted around 10… […]
