The O’s fell out of 1st place losing to Tampa 5-0 behind a masterful effort by David Price (a Bakich disciple at Vanderbilt). The bats have just wilted lately as the O’s have but 1 HR in the 5 games.
Unbelievably, last night Johan Santana hurled the first no hitter in the history of the New York Mets franchise.

The Orioles are mired in a five game losing streak in which the pitching has been bad, the defense has been the worst in the major leagues, and the offense, which had been producing at a record pace, has been anemic. This has many people shaking their heads, claiming, “Here we go again.” The wheels seem to be coming loose on the bandwagon.
Baseball history tells us, however, that this is not unusual. Every playoff team goes through bad stretches. … Read More »
For all of those non believers out there, the O’s are now .500 (13-13) again.Markakis and Reynolds went deep and Zach Britton gets the win.
Pitch Gonzo and you will lose. What a horrible loss last night!!!!I know it’s early but good teams never blow 5-0 leads especially against the Yankees. THIS GUY gregg has show me nothing so far. In game one against Tampa Markakis saved his butt with a great catch. Last night — first pitch–dinger to Posada. Gonzo just doesn’t have it–how many games will he lose befrore we throw the towel in.
Here is the bottom line–There is a buzz back in Btown about the O’s. Everywhere you go that is what the folks are talking about. It’s been a long time and I hope it is not just a fleeting moment in time.
Keep Brian Roberts off the 20 steal mentality. Give him a bonus if he has none. He is the glue of the lineup. remember last year his return to the lineup somewhat coincided with Buck’s return.
Markakis 2, Vlad 1, Adam Jones 1–that;s four dingers from the Orioles projected starting lineup. Not bad. O’s win 12-6 with Mr A in attendance.
It really seemed like outside pitch after outside pitch were called for strikes tonight against the O’s.Normally mild mannered Nick Markakis lost his cool and was tossed from the game.
The bullpen was stellar last night. I find myself watching intently as if the O’s are in a pennant chase. Some thoughts:
What a great call to have Adam Jones lay one down to secure the victory.
Simon will fall deeper down the bullpen rotation if he continues to serve up gopher balls.
Markakis is now the leader he was always supposed to be.
It was great to settle in to my sofa after returning home from the National Sports Collectors show, to watch the final 4 innings of the O’s Games. Guthrie and Wiggy led the way yesterday. And yes, that is the New Markakis being a leader by example. 5 out of 6 for Buck!! For a guy who is bitter over not being selected as the new Skip, Rick Dempsey still displays his love for the O’s.
Winning is always great!!! In the middle of the 5th , I hear Tillman has a N0-N0 going and that the O’s have gone deep 3 times against Mr Invincible Cliff Lee. Unfortunately the no hitter ended with 1 out in the 7th on a cheap ground ball hit but Tillman threw a gem and the O’s won!
