6 more to go…

Sunday spells the end for the season for the Orioles, and I for one am thankful. I’ve save the wax poetic post til Sunday. 3 games against the Yanks and 3 against the Red Sox.
Want to know what kind of season it’s been?

That’s what kind of season it’s been.

The Orioles have a Brother in suffering

I just got done talking with my buddy Chris and we were talking about how miserable our seasons have been. Chris is a Cubs fan, so if anyone knows something about heartache and wretched seasons, he should. We’ve noticed that our teams have a lot in common (besides finding new ways to lose and disappoint).

Fan Protest

I haven’t been home much, so I failed to do a pre-protest post…so here’s a post protest post.
Here’s some links about the protest.
First, Mike Boehm of Oriole Magic, was there and gives his account.

Great stuff. Make sure to watch the You-Tube at the end of the article.

I’ve got pictures…

Got the pictures from last Saturday’s Cubs/Braves game sent to me. Here’s a few choice ones that are a cut above… 

Here’s a great picture of Smoltz warming up.

The eye candy was out at the Ted.

Here’s another Smoltz one.

Smoltz again..this time with pitching coach Roger McDowell, aka the guy who replaced Leo Mazzone. by the way, have you [...]

My deadbeat friend, the Orioles

There have been two reasons that I don’t post as regular as I used to:
1. This blog is a labor of love, yet I don’t feel like posting everyday.
2. The Orioles stink.
I’m going to draw a parrarel here, just bare with me as I get it set up…
I’ve realized that the O’s are like that [...]

guess what..a negative article on the Orioles

Saw a rare article on the O’s on ESPN.com today.
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=crasnick_jerry&id=2587235
This one dwells on a lot of negatives…much of which you can’t argue with. The Orioles have never rebuilt. Too often we look for quick veteran patch jobs, see Conine, Jeff. Millar, Kevin. Gomez, Chris. etc. Any of those players I have no problem whatsoever being [...]

Back from the ATL

Sit down…grab a drink and something to eat, maybe a pillow….an alarm clock..because this post went longer than I thought. It could be a good thing.
Went to Atlanta this weekend and got my computer woes fixed today too…
My trip to Atlanta was one of those trips that was almost sort of magical. I’ve had good [...]

The Dog Days are here…

The dogdays are really here.
8 to 4 loss to the Angels yesterday. Sa

I have soured on Brandon Fahey

Seeing Brandon Fahey getting start after start in Left is getting old to me. Yes, he’s scrappy and can play multiple positions….but do you really want him to? It was nice early when he was having a decent stretch, but now as his production has dropped completely and after finally being removed for the 2 [...]

New Ballpark of the Year

Nope, it’s not the New Busch Stadium in St.Louis. It’s my own West End Field in Greenville.
http://baseballparks.com/Greenv.asp
It’s a great glowing review and is a terrific ballpark. One thing I found funny was how he mentioned the singing of “Sweet Caroline” during the 8th. That started because the Red Sox do it, so apparently we should too. [...]
