O’s Bullpen Blows Another game–Why is Anyone Surprised?

September 27th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

60-93 or 20-45 post All Star Game—I neber thought these would be the numbers this year. Perhaps replacing George Sherrill waon’t be as east as many have mentioned.

Orioles Magic Number Remains at 3—-What?

September 23rd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Baltimore Orioles Baseball

The O’s need 3 wins to avoid the embarrassment of losing 100 games. I said it the day Sherrill was traded, that it was the forfeiture of the season. The bullpen blew another game last night. What I don’t understand is how in the 10th inning , Trembley had an outfielder strike out on a [...]

August 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Baltimore Orioles Baseball

Tonight’s game was quite the feat for the Orioles.  Baltimore, facing an Angels lineup with eight batters hitting around .300 and going against Jared Weaver, who had a 12-3 record going into the game.  The Orioles crushed the Angels 16-6, capped by Felix Pie getting the 4th cycle in Orioles history. After hitting his triple, Pie flashed some fist [...]

Brian Matusz Impressive in First Start For O’s–O’s Win 8-2—5-13 Post All Star Game

August 5th, 2009 · No Comments · Baltimore Orioles Baseball

For the first time this year I rushed home from work had dinner and settled in to watch phenom Brian Matusz pitch. Overall it was a solid not great effort. He seems to have several speeds of change up and had Adam Jones not broke in on a deep fly to center, Matusz would have [...]

All is Not Lost for the Birds of Baltimore–Optimism from Boca

August 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Baltimore Orioles Baseball

Yes, the Orioles lost today (Sunday 8-2-09) 18-10.  Just couldn’t get that last touchdown and the “A.F.L.” 2 pt. conversion to put the game in o.t. Sad isn’t it?  And the O’s are 4-12 since the All Star break.  And even those who agreed or disagreed with the Sherrill trade can’t even say if the former O’s closer [...]

Finally–O’s Defeat Eastern Division AL Team–6-2 Over Bosox–O’s 2-7 Post All Star Game

July 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Baltimore Orioles Baseball

David Hernandez again pitched well for the O’s. Combine this with some strong hitting from Nick Markakis and the Birds coasted to an easy win.  Markakis was moved to the cleanup spot and responded witha 2-4 performance including a home run. The Orioles come home and hopefully they will respond in order to save their [...]

Birds Drop Another to the Yanks 6-4—Os 1-5 Post All Star Game

July 22nd, 2009 · 4 Comments · Baltimore Orioles Baseball

The Orioles were totally dominated again by the Bronx Bombers. The question needs to be asked can we ever compete in our division. The team just seems so resigned to defeat. Where is the clubhouse leader?    What next?  In a move that will totally depress Dino, the Orioles spring training home will move to [...]

O’s Lose 9th in a Row in New York 6-4—O’s Now 1-4 Post All Star Game

July 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Baltimore Orioles Baseball

The Orioles continue to sink deeper into last place as the abysmal road show continues. Brian Roberts and Markakis each had 3 hits last night in a losing cause. Jim Palmer commented that SP Hill had absolutely nothing on his ball and basically was just throwing and hoping. He can not continue to start. Again [...]

Improbable Error by Wigginton Leads to O’s Demise —-O’s 0-2 Post All Star Game

July 19th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Baltimore Orioles Baseball

A routine throw to first that was inexplicably dropped by Ty Wigginton opened the floodgates for the White Sox to score all 4 of their runs to deafeat the O’s 4-3. The one bright spot of the game was the the arms of the Orioles’ outfielders. Reimhold and Markakis each threw strikes to elimate 2 [...]

INEXCUSABLE!!!!! O’s Blow 4-0 Lead Again –Lose 3 out of 4 To LA

July 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Baltimore Orioles Baseball

I will tell you what is inexcusable. Saturday night in the bottom of the 7th with the score tied at 4 (after blowing a 4-0 lead), Nick Markakis and Brian Roberts could not decide who should catch an easy pop up. A simple “I’ve got it” by one of them would have done the job. [...]
