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 had 5 shutout innings.
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 was here he would have saved the game because since the “Brim Reaper” has been traded there has not been a chance for a save … Read More »
It’s official the freefall has begun. As the trade deadline approaches the only Oriole where there is any interest is George Sherrill. The Birds are only looking for 3rd baseprospects. Seems to me like George has about 2 days left as an Oriole. Has anyone seen Luke Scott’s bat–going back to last week’s Monday Yankee game , Luke is 1-19. Freddy predicted Luke’s collapse. Adam Jones continues his Home Run tear , hitting #16 lat night.
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 Sarasota.

If I were Dave Trembley I would do the following :
Demand as much pitching help as he can get. The future is now.
Put on the brakes on the team’s baserunning. The O’s have run themselves out of many games.
KEEP GEORGE SHERRILL ON THE TEAM. Do not let this guy go.
Trembley must not be a part of another August September swoon!!!
Let’s see– the AL won again–4-3. Carl crawford was the game’s MVP. Mariano Rivera got the save. Ho hum another yawner. All Star games on any level stink. Last night’s was no exception. The NFL All Star game is probably the biggest joke of all as it is played after the Super Bowl and is virtually watched by no one. The NBA All Star game is a big joke as the word defense does not exist. The NHL All Star … Read More »
Where do the O’s go from here. Speculation will run rampant over the next few weeks. Salazar, Pie, Sherrill, are they on the block? Will we soon see Tillman pitching? Will the lack of baseball fundamentals displayed by the team lead to the demise of Trembley? Will the O’s for once not play el foldo in August and September? Will the farce of competition continue and Roy Halladay become a Red Sox? Stay tuned!!!
Red Sox Nation invaded Camden Yards last night and Oriole fans present were forced to suffer through a shutout loss to Lester who moves to 8-0 vs Baltimore. JD Drew was a double short of the cycle for Boston and the only Oriole highlight in a dismal effort was a home run stealing catch by Adam Jones.
—First things first. The crowd at Land Shark Stadium was announced at 10,200. On TV it looked like there were a max of 2000 present and in the late innings about 600. I’m not sure iI would be building a new stadium for this team.
—Who is to blame last night Ty Wigginton for an absolutely idiotic base-running mistake in the 11th inning or Dave Trembley, the manager of a team that has run itself out of 5 or 6 … Read More »
Can we all see some light at the end of the tunnel. There is nothing like a 5 game winning streak to awaken sleeping fans. I like the tweaking of the lineup and substitutions Trembley is making. Everyone seems to be participating in the resurgence of this team. Now if we could play the NL East every day. Brian Roberts seems to be popping out of his lathargic hitting and fielding streak. Jeremy Guthrie pitched like the #1 starter he … Read More »
