For the first time in SO long I am actually very interested in NL baseball. I think it has a little something to do with two of the playoff spots up for grabs going into the last day of the season. Here is the skinny, courtesy of the associated press:

You’re welcome Red Sox fans!
The Orioles effectively won the division for the Red Sox tonight after knocking off the Yankees in 10 innings. The Orioles comeback was truly something to behold. From the three run, game-tying triple in the 9th off the bat of Jay Payton, to Melvin Mora’s bunt single in the 10th to score Tike [...]

What a night!
As I write this, MASN just went to commercial after the top of the 10th. Jeter led off the top of the 10th with a double to center and was replaced by Bronson Sardinha. After Abreu moved Sardinha to third with a ground out, Trembley decided to walk A-Rod and Matsui to face [...]

Jays pancake the O’s – again
As if Tuesdays 11-3 win over the O’s wasn’t enough, they wasted no time on Wednesday putting on the hurting again. The Jays scored eight first-inning runs against Victor Zambrano and the O’s and held on to win 8-5. The loss leaves the O’s just two games above the Devil Rays for 4th place. It’s [...]

Royal Flush
The Orioles finished the season with a 7-0 record against the Kansas City Royals tonight with a 3-2 win. Daniel Cabrera pitched a solid seven innings and Nick Markakis broke a 2-2 ties in the 8th with a solo home run. I think the hallmark of this game was just sensational effort all around. Tike [...]

Your 2012 Orioles!
The Orioles Review sister site: The Nationals Review had the foresight to put together what a 2012 Nats lineup might look like. I thought this was a great idea, so I am making a 2012 O’s lineup. Yes, this team does go all the way (just like your mom – zing).

A silver lining?
The O’s just dropped a close one to the Yankees, 2 -1 at Yankee Stadium. I’m never happy about an Oriole loss, especially when it comes with the bases loaded and the tying run on third. Mariano Rivera gave up a one-out double to Nick Markakis, and then walked Huff and Hernandez to bring up [...]

It’s been awhile…
..but I guarantee you Orioles Review faithful; I have not lost hope. My life has become a swirling mess of schoolwork, real work, and puppy excrement. Even with all that, I never miss a game. Let’s face it: there’s been better times to be an Oriole fan for sure. With Eric Bedard, Jeremy Guthrie, and [...]
