The Orioles got off to a great start and then came crashing back down to Earth with a disgusting thud. Like a sack of wet laundry hitting the basement floor the Orioles are looking up at the rest of the division, once again, going into May. Now, in all fairness, they are in last place […]

I just walked in from the game tonight. I will have a more coherent post tomorrow, but this first. This. This is why 2011 is different than 2010. In 2010, the Orioles lose that game and we are talking about the big bad Red Sox once again. But the 2011 Orioles won this game. After […]

The Orioles’ annual April slog through the AL East continues with the suddenly resurgent Boston Red Sox coming into town. The Red Sox are surging, after getting off to their worst start in decades they have crawled out of the basement winning eight of their last ten buoyed by a four game wining streak. The […]

The crunching sound you hear last night was the collective will and pride of Orioles fans being destroyed by the big-bad-impossible New York Yankees. How impossible? The Yankees homer bats account for over 60% of their total runs scored. Russell Martin, a guy who hadn’t cracked .700 OPS in the last two years and in […]

The Orioles win! Streak over! CELEBRATION!     Now that is done check out Anthony’s recap from last night. Nothing more that really needs to be said about the game itself, so let me talk about what exactly this means. This win, yes this one win, means that the Orioles are a good team again. […]

Unbelievable. After starting 6-1 the Orioles are now 6-8. It just makes you sick. Its like this team doesn’t want any fans. For the second year in a row the Orioles start a season with a lot of optimism and buzz. But at least last year the Orioles had the courtesy to not get our […]

I still can’t really believe what a nice start the Orioles are having. We knew this team was improved, we knew they were better, but this better? Despite being destroyed in the nightcap last night the Orioles are off to one of their best starts in a decade. But what is really impressive is how […]

The Orioles won again today taking their home opener in front of a full-throated sell-out crowd at Camden Yards. Young starter Jake Arrieta looked fantastic against the Tigers today pitching six innings and scattering six hits only giving up one run. Brian Roberts remained hot hitting his second three-run homerun of the young season powering […]

The sun is shining in Baltimore this morning. The rain from the storms that rolled through last night still stains the concrete and combined with the overwhelming sounds of birds chirping it gives the city an almost tropical feel. It will be warm today, partly cloudy and baseball will return to Baltimore. Spring is a […]

Baltimore rejoices in an opening series that is pretty much the exact opposite of last year. Zach Britton started today and pitched six innings, striking out six and allowing only one earned one. Britton earned the win as the Orioles busted out late again taking advantage of the Rays’ bullpen to win the game 5-1. […]

Tonight the Orioles will attempt to win their first series of the year, and there is already drama surrounding this young season. Brian Matusz was supposed to make the start tonight but a strained back is keeping him out at least until the  beginning of May. Chris Tillman will make the start in his place, […]

The Orioles got the season off to a great start last night with a dominate pitching performance from on Jeremy Guthrie. Guts pitched eight, three hit no run innings. Striking out six and only walking one Guthrie allowed two baserunners only one in his game. Jim Johnson gave everyone a minor heart attack with giving […]

It is almost here. Finally. The Orioles will open the season on the road in Tampa on Friday and I for one can not wait any longer. This is of course the time of year when we all start to lok ahead with stars in our eyes and hope in the cockles of our hearts. […]

With the Orioles just one week away from the start of the 2011 campaign there are still some lingering questions. Reimold/ Pie is still floating around; I frankly don’t see how Jake Fox doesn’t make this team right now but the biggest questions surround the rotation. We have all heard about players being “quietly” good, […]

Dinged up starters Brian Roberts, Derrek Lee and Koji Uehara could appear in games this weekend. All have progressed well and seem to be back on track this spring healthwise. According to Roch Kubatko Roberts hit off a tee from both sides while Lee took soft-toss. Both felt good. Manager Buck Showalter feels they are […]
