More on Davey Johnson

The O’s have won 5 straight. Good…Great…Wonderful. I’m happy with that. The pitching has been great and the offense has been, finally, stellar. That said, the Davey Johnson rumblings are still…well, rumbling.
ESPN’s Jonah Keri has a great view on this:
 If the Orioles bring Davey Johnson back, it would be a sign that they care about winning.

Rain…ugh

It’s dry as a bone here tonight, as it has for maybe a month, and I decide to catch a game tonight and hey, the game might not get played tonight due to rain.
Anyway, the team has been playing better of late. Taking two against the A’s and the first two against the Royals. I don’t [...]

Throw a log on the rumor mill…

On Fox’s pregame telecast yesterday, Ken Rosenthal reported that the Orioles are assembling a list of ‘outside candidates’ for the manager job.
Ok, so it looks like Sam might be doomed.
Let’s take a look at some of these likely candidates:
Jerry Manuel is mentioned
Joe Giaridi’s name will come up. I don’t think it’s likely because he’s already worked with [...]

Jim Palmer is the man

I missed the game last night, as I’ve made a habit of doing as of late. But Palmer went off on the team during last night’s telecast. Fortunately, someone post it on Orioles Hangout.
“It’s up to them (the players) they make the money, they play. As Jim Leyland told his guys last year when he [...]

Dear Sam,

Sender: Ben [torturedosfan9384838348484@yahogglemail.com]
Receiptant: Sam Perlozzo [buntsnbynum@hotgahogglelink.net]
Dearest Sam,
I think I didn’t notice, but I saw the game last night. I can’t say that I was too wild with Nick Markakis bunting in the tenth with Brian on first. Nick, if you weren’t watching, was 3 for 4 and has picked it back up at the plate. [...]

I think the Earth Just stopped spinning

Paul Bako just hit a triple.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to check my backyard for black holes and make sure the law of gravity is still in effect.

A positive post

I’ve mighty negative as of late, with good reason to be I might add. But all negatives all the time makes this place mighty depressing. There has been one big positive lately by the name of Jeremy Guthrie.
He’s only started three games for the O’s and his starts look like this:
vs Tampa- 6 innings, 6 [...]

Perlozzo Watch Day 5

No game today. Hooray. This is something new I’m starting up, but it may not be a long lasting feature since Sam already has one foot out the door.
I’ve based the number of days from the watershed moment of Perlozzo’s big blunder, the Mother’s Day Massacre. There were screw-ups before then….many but that was THE [...]

Is that this weekend? I must have forgotten somehow..

Yep, the biggest rivalry in the history of sports resumes tomorrow.
Dodgers v. Giants? Yawn. I’m nodding off at the thought of that.
Braves v. Mets? Are you joking? Surely you jest!
Red Sox v. Yankees? Ha…what are you smoking? You must work for ESPN!
Cards v. Cubs? Please, that’s small potatoes.
The one true and legendary rivalry resumes Friday. America’s darlings, [...]

Time for a Major Change

I took a little time to cool after the Mother’s Day Massacre before I posted again. Last night I caught a couple innings of the game, but turned it off in disgust after Troy Glaus homered, so I didn’t catch Melvin Mora and Jay Payton trying to duke it out. After this fiasco I think [...]
