Jeff Weaver….ouch

Last offseason, I was kind of hoping the O’s would sign Jeff Weaver. Of course, that didn’t happen and he went to Los Angelos Angel of Anahiem/Orange County of Califorina USA. While with the Angels, to put it bluntly, he sucked. That is actually and understatement. Weaver was 3-10 with a 6.29 ERA and was [...]

Whadda I say?

Last week at this time the O’s had just swept the Blue Jays and were a red hot winning 8 of 9. This past week?
Monday: Loss to Oakland 6-5
Tuesday: Loss to Oakland 5-2
Wednesday: Loss to Boston 6-1
Thursday: Loss to Boston 5-2
Friday: Loss to Cleveland 5-4
Saturday: Win over Cleveland 7-4
Today: Loss to Cleveland 6-1
Was our early [...]

Notes

The O’s blew two games they should have won against Oakland. Bad defense, an impromptu bunt by Melvin Mora, and more bad defense resulted in a two game sweep.
At least Jeremy Guthrie pitched great yesterday, and hey, Aubrey Huff had a nice series. Glad to see that since here lately I’ve been dreading his at bats. [...]

Live Semi-Blog 4/22 Jays v. O’s

Gonna try something new here. Got the game on the radio, it’s not on Extra Innings (thanks alot Nats). I’m not going to stay everything that happens, but events of significance and whatever I feel like saying.

Brian Roberts is out another day with the flu that hit the Devil Rays, Chris Gomez is starting again [...]

Today I Weep

Jon Knott has been optioned back to Norfolk with the return of Jay Payton off the 15 day DL.
What can I say? I completely disagree with this. Freddie Bynum stays while Knott goes down. I’m not going to trash Bynum completely. The guy did fill in worlds better than I could have concieved of in the [...]

I’m nuts for Knott

My new favorite O of the moment is Jon Knott. Knott was called up last weekend with Patterson going on the bereavement list and Birkins being sent back down.
I’ve seen Knott the past two games and it won’t make me happy if he gets sent back when Payton comes back. Sure the guy’s only played [...]

Comeback win

The O’s took down the D-Rays tonight on was an unbelieveable game. It was a horrible game that turned into a great game. I don’t know how to explain it. It was pure magic..unless you’re a Devil Rays fan. We looked hapless, we look inept and Freddie Bynum looked at his team and said “No [...]

Call-ups…and this time NO PITCHERS!!!!

BENCH MOVES!
First off, sympathies to Corey Patterson who’ll be out til likely Thursday after the death of his Grandfather.
To take his spot, the Orioles have called up outfielder Adam Stern. Then, wisely, the O’s sent down Kurt Birkins trimming down the pitchers to 12. John Knott will take his spot.
Bench as of now:
2 of the [...]

.500!!!!!!!!!!

The O’s are at .500 for the first time since last May 2nd. When’s the parade?
How about Chris Gomez getting the Grand Slam? I kept waiting for the fact that it was ODALIUS PEREZ pitching to register with our hitters. Good thing the rain subsided after the 5th, so Gomez could make Perlozzo look like a [...]

Nick’s Grand Slam

Just wanted to touch on this real quick.
Nick Markakis’ at bat one of the best at bats I’ve ever seen. I’m saying that as a baseball fan, not just an Orioles’ fan.  He went 0-2 on two pitches on 2 fouls and I was sitting there thinking, “Geez, we’re going to waste a chance to [...]
