I know that is true for me, so today I offer a soothing balm to remedy the sting of another loss. Lets all take a break from the gloom and doom, hop in the TARDIS and travel back to this day in that wild and wonderful year 1997. Good morning everyone on the information super […]

I’m back dear readers. More on where I was later. The Orioles still suck. Good to see that little has changed since I went into hiding. The big bit of news today came from the Baltimore Sun. Apparently Cal Ripken, yes that Cal Ripken, is interested in “returning to baseball” in some fashion. Orioles fans: […]

Last night Brad Bergesen struggled – again. Pitching three terrible innings, giving up six runs and effectively putting the Orioles out of it before they even had a chance to be in it. The Orioles bullpen did not help either. All in all it was just another all-too-familiar sight for Orioles fans. This weekend, the […]

And the Orioles have remained largely silent thus far. Granted, the Orioles’ trade chips include Jim Johnson, Jeremy Guthrie and Koji Uehara; not exactly “headline grabbing” names on the minds of national writers so don’t expect to be following a Koji Uehara deal on Twitter like the Rasmus deal yesterday. Speaking of Colby Rasmus that […]

Ervin Santana pitched masterfully tonight and the Orioles struggled to get anything out of him. Through seven innings the O’s bats were silenced and the only baserunners came from Luke Scott reaching on an error in the second and a Blake Davis double that mercifully broke up the no-hitter in the sixth inning. Alfredo Simon […]

Tonight the Orioles will take on the LA Angels in Baltimore. If you are coming from out of town and are having trouble finding the city you are not alone. You see Baltimore has been moved to what feels like roughly 20 feet from the surface of the sun. The current temperature in B’more is […]

The Orioles have a problem and it is a mystery to most. On the Internet and the airwaves, the new clarion call is the Orioles’ need to improve their scouting and player development systems. Well, that is great, but I am willing to be dollars to doughnuts that the callers and posters do not know […]

Praise the pagan baseball Gods! The Orioles have snapped the season-long nine-game losing streak with a 6-5 win over the Indians that was a lot closer than it ever should have been. The Orioles went into the ninth inning up 6-2 on the backs of Markakis (3-4 with two doubles a homer), Jones and Pie […]

Let’s start it off right tonight. Go birds!

Broken. The Orioles are 36-52 at the close of the first half of the season. They crawl…no crawl is too good a word. They are wheeled into the all-star break by a disinterested orderly with a 3-14 record over their last couple of weeks. A few weeks ago the Orioles were at 33-38, not good […]

J.J. Hardy, Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, Mark Reynolds, Vlad. Should the Orioles trade them all? The O’s got wallopped by the Texas Rangers last night and are back to 10 games below .500 and 13.5 games out of first. Not that the team was ever truly expected to contend, but they were expected to be […]

The Orioles were destroyed by Jair Jurrjens last night, one hit shutout. Ugh. The Orioles are sitting at nine games under 500 right now, 13.5 games out of first and fans are pretty much ready to once again call it a season before the All-Star Break. The Baltimore Sun ran an interesting story today entitled […]

Fans watched as the Cardinals completed a three-game sweep of the Birds in Baltimore last night. Brian Matusz was torched again for eight runs in just 3.1 innings of work. The Orioles did try to make it interesting on the backs of homers from Mark Reynolds and Nolan Reimold but the damaged had been done […]

On June 3rd of this year Nick Markakis was batting .239/.305/.616, Orioles fans were were really starting to get worried. I was actually beginning to wonder if we were going to have a kind of Rocco Baldelli situation I was genuinely concerned for Nick’s health. Then June happened. Right now, June 28th, Nick Markakis is […]

Last night was quite the spectacle, the Orioles and Reds combined for nine homers but the Orioles came up on the short end of the stick once again losing 10-5. There are a couple things we need to talk about:   Brian Matusz: How freaked out should we all be? Well, on a scale of […]
