Last year Matt Wieters came up to the big leagues and every one held their breath. They held their breath in anticipation for the one player that was going to single-handily save Baltimore baseball. Matt Wieters facts abounded, national sports writers called him “Switch-hitting Jesus” and Baltimore put the weight of its collected hopes on […]

Sunday morning in Baltimore, the sun is shining and the birds are singing. Half of the area is restinge their beer addled heads after a very successful Preakness and a not so successful Alfredo Simon. The Orioles’ closer by default fell apart in the ninth inning last night spoiling a fantastic start from the young […]

The Orioles have been playing some pretty stiff competition lately and they have stepped up. The split of yesterday’s double header ensured that the Orioles would escape Minnesota with a series split, though a win today would be really nice. The Birds’ record it still an abysmal 9-22, but since their 2-16 start they have […]

The Orioles hellacious April ended on a high note last night, a very high vote indeed. Miguel Tejada singled up the middle scoring Adam Jones (who had doubled to lead off the inning) giving the birds a very uplifting 5-4 victory over the Red Sox. I honestly think no one was happier in that ensuing […]

The Orioles bullpen has been completely unreliable all season. After blowing two games in Boston, to allow the Orioles to fall to an absolutely unholy 2-16, heads need to roll. Albers need to be gone, there has to be someone in the minor leagues that can come in and pitch for three innings. The Orioles […]

Tonight the Orioles sit at 2-12 about to take the field against the Seattle Mariners hoping to force a rubber match for tomorrow. 2-12, never in my wildest, darkest, nightmares would I have thought to see the Orioles be 2-12 it just defies explanation. Everyone is just sitting, waiting, hoping to see the Orioles bats […]

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore, because the Orioles play is just befuddling. These guys could not buy a break right now. Seriously, if there was a break-store the Baltimore Orioles would not be allowed to walk in, place five dollars American on the counter and state: “One break, please.” And instead of […]

The Orioles are off to the worst start in recent memory. There is nothing else to say. The Orioles are the definition of “snakebit”, nothing seems to be going right. Sitting in the park last night I thought for sure that the Orioles would win that game. Luke Scott hit that absolutely clutch homerun and […]

Today was the second annual Blogger Day at the Yard. The Orioles and MASN once again pulled out all the stops to show us members of the “new media” a good time. And when I say stops were pulled out – I mean they were pulled out. Press credentials, full use of the MASN suite, […]

Last night the Orioles fell to 1-4 after being shut down by crafty left-hander Dana Eveland. The Orioles seem to make every left-handed pitcher look crafty. The offensive disappearing act spoiled a great six-inning 2-ER performance from David Hernandez. Hernandez showed why he made the team out of ST last night. He worked quickly; he […]

Come with uncle and I will show you angel’s trumpets and devil’s trombones. It is finally here, email me with your stories and misadventures, mine will show up later tonight. Something magic happens….

Orioles lose 4-3 New closer Michael Gonzalez got the first out in the bottom of the ninth inning nursing a 3-2 lead. He was unable to complete after giving up a single, double and loading the bases with an intentional walk; “Cobra” gave up a game winning single to Carl Crawford. The ninth inning collapse […]

Ladies and Gentlemen. Friends, well-wishers, Baltimoreans, internet. I stand before you today, not as a cheerleader, but as a leader. For too long my friends the Orioles and their fans have been at the bottom of the ranks in baseball. We have been laughed at, ridiculed and mocked. We suffer constant assaults on our character […]

Suffering from stomach cancer former Orioles pitcher Mike Cuellar passed away yesterday in Florida. Cuellar was famous for being in one of the greatest rotations that has ever been. In 1971, on their way to another World Series, Cuellar joined Pat Dobson, Dave McNally and Jim Palmer in a rotation that saw each of them […]

David Hernandez is the Orioles fifth starter. David had a great spring leading the Orioles staff with 20 strike outs and a masterful game against the Sox seemed to seal the deal. Chris Tillman will be reassigned to AAA Norfolk. The Orioles want Tillman to develop his cutter more. Orioles.com blogger Britt Ghiroli tweeted Orioles.com […]
