O’s drop two of three – one under protest!

The Oriole’s dropped two out of three against the Indians this weekend pushing their record to 12 -13, 4.5 games back of hot and on fire Boston. I didn’t get to watch a lot of the series on TV because I was out of town so I’m not going to resuscitate the details for [...]

Even Steven

Chris Ray evened the score last night. Since the Yankees and Red Sox are apparently the only teams that matter he thought it only fair to serve up a game winning grand slam to the Sox to make up for the one he gave up to the Yankees earlier this month. No that [...]

Blood or not blood?

Last night during the Orioles/Red Sox game, MASN announcer Gary Thorne alleged that Curt Schilling’s bloody sock from game six of the 2004 ALCS was not in fact bloody. He claims that Doug Mirabelli, the Red Sox backup catcher at the time, told him that it was paint. I’m going to keep this [...]

Red Sox Fans, O’s Limping, Hernandez back, etc.

Yesterday was my first in-person Orioles game of the season. I am not sure why I do this to myself but I always seem to go to games where the visiting team’s fans outnumber Oriole fans in both population and loudness. Last night was no different: Red Sox fans showed up in droves [...]

Tonight’s equation = A’s > O’s

I’m never going to be happy after a loss. You can always look at the good stuff that happened and try to be positive but a loss is still a loss. And it sucks.
The O’s dropped a tough one tonight at home to Oakland 6 -5. There are a couple frustrating things [...]

O’s sweep the Jays, bring on the A’s!

The Orioles completed a 3-game sweep of the Jays on Sunday afternoon to sweep the depleted Jays to Boston. There is no way to stress how important these three wins were for the Orioles. They now sit at 11 – 7 going into a 2 game set with the A’s and a 2 [...]

Toronto’s bullpen? Not so much.

The Orioles are making a habit of the come from behind victory.  They rallied back from 2 – 0 and 4 – 2 Friday night to take the opening game of the three-game series against Toronto 5 – 4.  Chris Ray picked up the win with a scoreless but shaky inning.
This team showed me something [...]

Awesome graphic + O’s/Jays Preview

Check out this awesome graphic courtesy of CBS Sportsline:

Cool, right?
OK so O’s/Jays preview. Huge series; AL East implications. The Jays are a little beaten up right now and are coming off a tough loss to the Red Sox where the bullpen squandered a great Roy Halladay start. The Jays strength is not [...]

Feel good story of the year?

I’m sure you’ve heard by now the tale of Josh Hamilton. For those of you who don’t yet know who Josh Hamilton is, I will tell you. Hamilton was the #1 pick by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 1999. Hamilton was a high school kid with scary raw talent in [...]

The O’s up to this point: A Recap

In case you haven’t read the newspaper or espn.com in the past day, the Orioles beat the Devil Rays 6 – 4 on Wednesday to take 2 out of 3. It was not the best outing from Eric Bedard but once again he was good enough to get the win. I expect his [...]
