It was another loss for the Orioles -- this time, a close one -- as they lost to the Jays, 3-2. The O's offense was quieted, and Garrett Olson was decent; however, they could do little against Jesse Litsch.This is becoming a sad march towards the final two weeks of the season, as the Orioles have lost 19 out of their last 24 games, and Daniel Cabrera has now joined Jeremy Guthrie and Jim Johnson o

Yankees - OriolesOriole Park at Camden Yards(3 games)It was just before the last series with the Orioles that the Yanks had me believing. They had just won 8 out of 9, capping it off by taking two out of three from the Red Sox at Fenway, and trailed the Rays by just three games in the division and the Red Sox by two in the Wild Card. But then the last place Orioles came to Yankee Stadium and took
“LET’S GO RED SOX! LET’S GO RED SOX!” That’s most of what I can remember from my trip to Camden Yards in Baltimore. Yes Baltimore. I thought I was at Fenway Park (in Boston). It was easy to forget who the home team was. Yes, the Orioles, who lost 6-3 [...]
Well, after a horrific start to their road to Cleveland, the Orioles won last night, 11-6, to take a split in the four game series.The game was tied at 3-3, in the eighth inning, and then Oriole Magic bust loose.

The Orioles on Saturday night won thanks the impressive pitching of Jeremy Guthrie and a late single by Aubrey Huff; meanwhile, on Sunday -- things were not good -- in fact, they looked awful in the latter half of the game. Yesterday's starter Daniel Cabrera perhaps blew the game in the seventh thanks to his inability to field his position, and the Seattle put up a three spot in the inning.That br
What a sweet win. You all know what happened — the Orioles finally snapped a streak of 15 consecutive Sunday losses as they beat the Los Angeles Angels, 5-2, on a overcast and rainy day in the mid-Atlantic region.

In yet another sad loss, the Orioles were bested by the Evil Empire 1A, the Boston Red Sox, 9-4. Simply put, Brian Burres got shelled as he was attacked by the Red Sox offense early and often on Sunday. Although Luke Scott homered, Baltimore was undone by J.D.

After a 5-game skid, the Orioles thanks to the brilliant pitching of Garrett Olson, Aubrey Huff’s three-run homer in seventh, along with Nick Markakis going 3-for-4 and breaking out a slump with a solo homer in the sixth, Baltimore beat the New York Yankees, 6-1. The woeful New York bullpen opened the game for Baltimore and wasted a great effort by youngster Darrell Rasner.The story of the game
If this is true, this is perhaps one of the most asinine things I have ever read that's happened to a group of fans at a sporting svent.I've contended at times that going to an Oriole game at times is equivalent of going to a golf tournament.After reading this article, you've got to wonder if Camden Yards is supposed cultivate a Disney-Land like experience, or one is going to a sporting event.Take

Another game on the West Coast, another loss. I have my hands up in the air after another loss -- this time in extra innings; however, just like others -- close game, the Orioles struggle to come back and then lose in the end.What's to say? The one thing we thought would be the problem isn't the problem (the pitching) -- it's the bleeping offense.I said in the beginning of the year, I'd be happy to see the team improving, in a way it has with the competitive ball games and an effective relief/starting corps.But again the bleeping offense is making me wonder if the Orioles are who we thought they were.Now Roberts won't hit in the .250-260's (at least we hope), and Nick Markakis is far better than what he's showing right now. Huff (he's doing ok, but I still really don't care for the guy) is
Could the good vibes of being a Baltimore Orioles fan in the short-term be coming to a close?I was going to title this post something else (use your imagination), but I decided to be a good fan and use some decorum when doing this.Again, the Orioles lost out West, 4-2, to the Oakland Athletics.The loss was their fourth in a row, and they need to find answers; according to Spencer Fordin, the Orioles held a meeting at some point on Tuesday.Brian Burres struggled for the most part last night, as he allowed eight hits and four runs (he was charged with three) over a little more than five innings of work. The bullpen was once again solid; however, once again the anemic offense did not do anyone favors despite the relief corps keeping Baltimore in the game.The flighted ones made A’s starter,
Despite the joy we are feeling with the Orioles success in April, most in the media think the gravy train ride may come to a screeching halt.ESPN's Jonah Keri in a piece titled, "The Failure Dynasties", picks the Orioles as one the prime examples of futility in the sport of baseball.Also included in the list are the Kansas City Royals, Tampa Bay Rays, Pittsburgh Pirates & the Washington Nationals (formerly Expos). In the piece, he goes over some five bad moves each respective franchise made, their lowest moment, horrible staff/players, quotes, and notes for the future.Here's his summary of the franchise as it stands..."The 15-13 start is nice, but the Orioles probably won't see a winning season for a while. Nick Markakis and Adam Jones are great building blocks in the outfield, Luke Sc
Andy Sonnanstine hurled eight innings of one-run ball as the Rays crushed the Orioles 8-1 at Camden Yards. Sonnanstine allowed six hits and struck out five to improve to 4-and-1 on the season. Eric Hinske launched a two-run homer and drove in three for the Rays, who have won seven of their last eight games. Carlos Pena and Dioner Navarro both hit two-run singles as part of a five-run seventh inning for Tampa Bay. Brian Roberts had two hits and drove in the only run of the game for Baltimore, which has dropped three-of-four. Matt Albers suffered his first loss of the season for the O's. Both teams are 15-and-12 on the season.
Aubrey Huff clubbed a two-run homer as the Orioles knocked off the Rays 7-4 in the first-of-three at Camden Yards. Melvin Mora drove in a two runs, and Luis Hernandez had two hits and scored twice, as the O's snapped a two-game skid. Garrett Olson gave up four hits and two runs in six-and-two-thirds innings to pick up his first win of the year. B.J. Upton launched a two-run homer, and Carl Crawford and Akinori Iwamura each had an RBI and scored a run for Tampa Bay, which had its six-game winning streak come to an end. Jason Hammel surrendered three runs on six hits over two-and-two-thirds innings to fall to 2-and-2.

The Baltimore Orioles are still in first place in the American League East, tied with the Rays (who would have thought about this scenario in Spring Training); however, their visit to the Windy City has not gone as expected.Our Orioles lost their second game in a row, as Paul Konerko went 2-for-2 with a pair of solo home runs as the Other Sox beat us, 6-1 on Sunday.Jose Contreras (2-2) threw 6 2/3 innings, in his second start of the year against Baltimore, gave up on run on five hits, striking out and walking three. Out leadoff hitter, Brian Roberts, looks to be out of his slump as he went 2-for-3 and drove in Baltimore’s only run.Melvin Mora & Nick Markakis both had hits; meanwhile, Jeremy Guthrie (0-3), was the hard luck loser – again – as he gave up three runs on five hits in fiv
Paul Konerko slugged a pair of solo homers to lead the White Sox in a 6-1 victory over the Orioles in the third test of a four-game set at U.S. Cellular Field. Carlos Quentin was 2-for-2 with a run scored and an RBI for Chicago, which has won two straight and three-of-four overall. Jose Contreras yielded a run on five hits over six-and-two-thirds innings to move to 2-and-2 on the season. Brian Roberts launched a solo shot to provide the only run of the game for Baltimore. Jeremy Guthrie surrendered three runs on five hits over five frames to fall to 0-and-3.
Over the past several years, the topic of slugger Mark Teixiera has been one that has been on the forefront of Baltimore Oriole fans.The issue of him ever playing for us is one I have always wondered about. Yes, he'd look great in an O's uniform and a move to get him here would no doubt appease a certain segment of fans, but I'm going to give my opinion, just because I'm trying to be realistic to anyone who cares to read what I type.As much as I like Teixeira, the bidding will be ridiculous in the off-season and he'll be in reach of the same five or six teams in every marquee deal.Everyone may want the hometown boy, but in the state the Orioles are in, they cannot and should not devote the financial resources to him at all. If we somehow finish above .500, let's take another look at him; h

Steve McNair, former Ravens QB threw out the first pitch on Friday night, and on Sunday new coach John Harbaugh did the same, and Rex Ryan caught it.It goes without saying, two the big sports teams in the Baltimore area should be supporting one another.For most right now, the Ravens are number one in fans' hearts despite a lackluster season, and perhaps they might help to give the Orioles a little shot in the arm in terms of PR and just general support.The Birds are established enough to do it on their own, but the help of an NFL team could only help, not hurt the franchise.

I went out the Yard last night and it was a good night to be a fan.So we are only into the first weeks of the season, and it would be silly to assume that we'll finish as winners and start printing out playoff tickets; however, the Orioles are playing inspired baseball and this is a team to rally around.Daniel Cabrera has a solid game, as he went six innings and gave up two runs; plus, Melvin Mora and Jay Payton each drove in a pair of runs in a seven-run, sixth inning as well, Nick Markakis and Luke Scott added two hits and an RBI apiece for Baltimore to trash the Yankees, 8-2.Yankee starter, Phil Hughes was solid for five innings, and then just fell
The newest edition of Forbes magazine has it's annual estimates of the worth of each baseball franchise listed, and again -- the Evil Empire is on top with 1.3 billion, and second are the Mets and then Red Sox.Well, the Orioles are ranked 18th with a value of 398 million. Now, I am not an economist or much less know finance aside from going online and checking my back account, but yes folks, the Orioles are making money.From Forbes: "Despite his franchise's stumbling badly on the diamond for years, Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos is guaranteed a minimum yearly gross of $130 million and a price of at least $360 million should he sell his franchise, thanks to a deal he brokered with Major League Baseball to let the Montreal Expos move to Washington, D.C. three years ago. Even better, t
Jose Contreras pitched seven innings of one-run ball to lead the White Sox to a 3-1 victory over the Orioles at Camden Yards. Contreras allowed just four hits with no walks and six strikeouts to even his record at 1-and-1. Jim Thome smacked a three-run homer in the top of the first for Chicago, which has won three-of-four to climb to 9-and-5 on the season. Bobby Jenks pitched a perfect ninth for the save. Aubrey Huff singled in the lone run for Baltimore, which has lost six-of-eight. Adam Loewen was saddled with the loss.
Chicago White Sox vs. Baltimore OriolesThe powerful Chicago White Sox beat our Birds, 3-1, last night at the Yard. Jose Contreras who was beat up in his last start looked like an ace, only giving up a run of only four hits.On the other hand, Adam Loewen was good -- only after the first inning. Jim Thome hit a monster three-run homer to give Chicago all they needed. The White Sox bullpen shut down the Orioles, and not much else was done.Aubrey Huff drove in the only run for Baltimore last night, and after a strong start to the season, the Orioles have only won two of out their last nine games.And yes, attendance was another sad number -- only 12,080.
The Toronto Blue Jays typically have a decent offense; however on Tuesday, they went from a decent offense to an explosive one as they manufactured 16 hits, enabling Toronto to embarrass the Baltimore Orioles, 11-3, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Toronto's attack was led by David Eckstein as he went 3-for-4 with 3 runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base while Aaron Hill went 2-for-3 with a home run, a run scored and 3 RBIs; Alex Rios, Vernon Wells and Marco Scutaro also added 2 hits each - with Scutaro adding a double.

WHAT: Orioles outfielder Adam Jones — one of the Birds’ newest fan favorites — will be at ESPN Zone on Thursday, April 17th, for a lunchtime question-and-answer session with fans.Jones, named Seattle’s Minor League Player of the Year in 2008, came to Baltimore in February as part of a trade with the Mariners. After talking with fans at ESPN Zone, the 22-year-old former first-round draft pick will stick around to sign autographs for the guests in attendance.During the course of the Q&A, which will be hosted by an Orioles broadcaster, fans will be invited to answer team trivia to win tickets to upcoming Orioles games. Fans on-site can also enter to win an autographed Orioles DreamSeat recliner, which will be given away after the final Q&A event of the season.Jone
After a nice six-game winning streak to start off the season, the Orioles had lost three in a row before last night's win? Have we officially started to suck now? Are the Orioles finally who we thought they were and have the smoke and mirrors faded away?Reading some of the articles, forums and blogs out there — I think we are overreacting a bit. Personally, I would not say I have written off 2008, but I’m not concerned about the standings — I just want to see progress and the culture of the organization change.We have 151 games to go; thus, anything can happen. Will we finish with 90 losses or more — most likely; however, if Jones develops and Wieters by some miracle blows through the minors, the Baltimore franchise will be in good shape.The question you have to ask yourself, grant
The Texas Rangers had their home opener spoiled by the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday afternoon, losing in an 8-1 blowout at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Ian Kinsler had the only run batted in on the day, scoring David Murphy in the seventh inning. Meanwhile, Jason Jennings' woes continued on the mound as he gave up four runs on seven hits, including a pair of homers. He was pulled after two outs in the fifth inning and was tagged with the loss. The series is set to continue tonight at 7:05 p.m., with left hander Kason Gabbard taking the mound for Texas against Baltimore right hander Steve Trachsel.
