I only post this because I doubt if many of you stayed up to watch this. No one knows what to say anymore. The absence of Brian Roberts is killing the offense. Gonzo is out for at least 3 weeks, so there is no closer and let’s face it when he returns there probably still is no closer. Markakis … Read More »
Andy MacPhail made the right move. I am never in favor of managerial moves just for the sake of a move. Look how disastrous it has been for the O’s. The demise of the Birds this year was based on the dismissing of George Sherrill and Aubrey Huff. Joe Torre could not have won with this team. Dave Trembley has been given a 24th hour pardon. He knows what needs to be done. With the exception of Markakis and Wieters, … Read More »
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.
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 foul bunt with a runner on first. Someone please explain.
Weiters, Jones, Roberts, Markakis, Matusz, Tillman, Reimhold period.
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 pumps to the crowd, which drew a stare from Angels manager Mike Scioscia as he was replacing … Read More »
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 »
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 skipper.
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.

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 the highlight of the game was a tremendous throw from Markakis to Weiters nailing Jeter at home.
