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.
Bases loaded, one out in the 9th —O’s trail 3-1. The rest is history. Papelbon made mincemeat of Luke Scott and Melvin Mora. THE O”S LOSE AGAIN—10th straight loss in Fenway.When will this nightmare end.
One of my complaints about Manager Trembley is that he never seems to let out his anger or emotion. The interview after the 10-9 come from behind win over Boston was about as dull as one could be for the greatest comeback in O’s history. Last night Trembley just about went off the deep end objecting a botched call in the first. After getting tossed, Luke Scott said to him on the way in—Don’t worry skip we’ll get this one … Read More »
There are those who might say the Orioles current 5 game winning streak ( 2 vs. Mets-3 vs. Phils) is tainted because the Mets have more injuries than Heinz has varieties and the Phils are in a tailspin losing 8 of 9 on their just concluded home stand. One thing you need to do is beat bad teams or teams going bad and that’s exactly what the Orioles did this past week. It may not be as impressive as if … Read More »
I come to bury Trembley, not praise him. Hey, I’m happy the O’s won. And how many posts have a little Shakespeare in them? That’s Shakespeare the writer, not Shakespeare the guy who played wide-out for Miami Hurricanes. Yes the O’s showed some of the old Orioles magic but Trembley’s overmanaging and lack of flexibility hurt the team last night. Trembley tells his bench players a couple days in advance when they are going to play. He does this … Read More »
Someone please explain how in the world Aubrey Huff gets picked off 3rd base with 2 0ut and the score tied. Can Melvin Mora bunt? Why send Huff in the 10th when your hottest hitter is up next? Can a whole team go into a slump (except Luke of course). Ichiro’s hit streak is now up to 27.
I guess i jumped the gun a little. Tiger pitching slowed down the suddenly vaunted Oriole attack Sunday , shutting out the Birds 3-0. Making his second big-league start, Baltimore rookie Jason Berken (1-1) gave up one run, four hits and two walks in seven innings. The only glaring flaw in his outing was a fourth-inning solo shot by Curtis Granderson. The O’s now head to the Left Coast to play Seattle Sunday night.
Camden Yards was alive like I have never seen it. Yes I am saying it was hopping much more then the 2 free agent playoff years under Davey Johnson. This team is now for real. The pitching is suspect but much less then season’s start. But with the arrival of Matt Wieters, the O’s seemed to lift off the ground. There is a feeling in the air and every one of the 42000 at the game tonight felt it. Luke … Read More »
Let’s tell it like it is, for the first time in recent memory the O’s are hot. Tonight we will probably witness the largest walk-up crowd in years. Why, because the legend finally arrives tonight. Matt Wieters will be in the starting lineup for the Os. Add this to what now seems the outfield for a decade and Oriole fever is back. this season is just starting!!!
I can’t believe I am beginning to believe again. Pinch me. A 3 run walk off homer by Reimhold. Holy cow? I must be dreaming. When I awaken in a few days I’ll see how the dream is doing.
