The Orioles were swept by the Jays, again, as the second half of this brutal season shambles forward. The Orioles had opportunities the first two games of the series but were once again stymied by poor situational hitting. Adam Jones was unable to get the two-out hit Friday and Cesar Izturis failed both Friday and […]

Yankees owner George Steinbrenner passed away early this morning. I think it is safe to say that Steinbrenner is a name that many an Orioles fan has cursed throughout the years. To Baltimore fans he embodied everything that was wrong the game. Steinbrenner bought championships and the Yankees were less a team than a collection […]

Felix Pie is back and picking up right where he left off. In his first three games back Pie is batting .308 with an OPS of 1.049, a homer and three RBI. he has been playing a solid left field and, most importantly, is not showing any lingering effects of his back injury. A healthy […]

Ty Wigginton has been selected by AL Manager Joe Girardi as the Orioles All Star representative. Wigginton leads the Orioles in homeruns and has been a pleasant surprise in an overall horrendous season. However, please forgiven me Ty, I am underwhelmed. I find it very hard to get excited about a player who has been […]

Last night’s game was quite an event. The Orioles staged another come-from-behind victory this time relying on the long-ball. Adam Jones, Luke Scott, Ty Wigginton and Corey Patterson combined for five homers tying the season-high for the team. The bullpen put together another stellar performance bailing out Kevin Millwood who was solid but was sabotaged […]

The Orioles won their, season-high, fourth game in a row today with a 4-3 win over the Washington Nationals. What made this sweep so great was that all three games were come-from-behind victories. The Orioles overcame 6-0, 5-0 and 3-0 deficits to win each game by one run in the late innings. Today the Orioles […]

The Orioles WON! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! But more importantly, I was there! My first live win of the season, Ugh, I swear it feels as though a large weight has been lifted off my shoulders. It was a great night all around. Adam Jones continued his turn-around with a 3-5 night including a homerun, and two RBI. […]

The Orioles made a trade today, in an attempt to add some depth to their infield the Birds acquired Jake Fox from the Oakland Athletics for minor league pitcher Ross Wolf. Fox is a utility guy mostly, but this pretty much spells the end for Garrett Atkins. I would look for Fox to start taking […]

According to Ken Rosenthal, over at FoxSports.com, the Orioles may have a plan for their new manager going into next year. The 2010 Orioles are currently stuck in a season that feels more like an absinthe-induced waking nightmare than reality. The 2010 Orioles are proof that God does not exist; because no right and just […]

The Ship is sinking…God’s away on business.  

The Orioles have called up their own stud AAA pitcher, Jake Arrieta, to make his major league debut tomorrow against the Yankees. Strasburg gets the Pirates; Arrieta gets the Yankees. If that doesn’t illustrate the gaping difference between the AL East and the NL East then I don’t know what will. The corresponding roster move […]

The actual announcement appears to be nothing more than academic at this point. Everyone knows that Baltimore Orioles manager Dave Trembley will be relieved of his duties before the game tonight against the Boston Red Sox. The Orioles are mired in their latest losing streak and are sitting at one of the team’s worst records […]

The Orioles and the Jays finish up their weekend series today in Toronto. The Orioles are looking to avoid the sweep and falling 21 (!) games under .500. When looking at these two teams the improbability of their seasons is striking. We have been talking about the strikingly improbable badness of the Orioles all year […]

The Orioles lost in extras to a Josh Willingham homerun falling 4-3 spoiling a nice ninth-inning comeback for the downtrodden team. Btu the real news is coming from Baltimore Sun columnist Kevin Cowherd. In an article posted tonight he reports that “whispers” are saying Orioles manager Dave Trembley could be fired as early as tomorrow. […]

The Orioles bullpen was unable to hold down a lead again as the Orioles fell to the Washington Nationals 7-6. The birds took a 6-3 lead going into the sixth inning at Nationals Park thanks to two two-run homers from Ty Wigginton and Adam Jones. Wigginton’s homer was a outright blast into the left-field seats […]
