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 107 but the “real feel” is closer to an abominable 120. That was not a typo.
I know it is lame to complain about the heat in the summer but by Odin’s Beard that is hot.
Tonight I am sitting in the pressbox giving you all the live coverage and commentary you can handle on the twitter (@hampden42) so check it out and chime in!
The O’s are coming off yet another subpar performance against the Red Sox, what else is new?
The internet isn’t calling for Andy MacPhail’s head – yet, but the pitchforks are being sharpened and torches are being gathered. I already chimed in on that issue today for my weekly guest spot over on MASN.com. Leave a comment – start the conversation.
As I sit here marinating in the pressbox the conversation turns to trades. Who stays, who goes?
The biggest chips right now are Guthrie, Johnson and Uehara – I would throw in Jake Fox as well. Fox has been batting very well in AAA. Yes he cleared waivers but a team that needs a DH could use a guy like Fox. The Angles could use Fox’s bat coming off the bench or as a DH, currently Bobby Abreu has only hit three homers in just over 330 ABs.
Sure Fox won’t get a lot, but he should probably be worth a couple prospects back to fill out a system that is in desperate need of some talent.
Game time in 30 minutes. Check the twitter and lets have some fun.
