I’m watching the game tonight and Daniel Cabrera is having a good outing.  Thus far through 7 frames, he’s surrendered only 1 hit and struck out 3. The strikeouts are lower than what I’d like, but one hit through seven…that’s great. But as per usual, the one thing that makes us all pull our hair [...]

Help Wanted

I’m needing some help with the blog here. My schedule has only permitted me to update a few days a week and I’m not crazy about that. I’m changing jobs and while I’ll have evenings off, I won’t feel like posting every day. I’m also in process of a long move….yeah moving is wretched.
One of my quirks [...]

Not O’s related, but much better.  
I turn in my two week notice tomorrow. I’ll have both weekend days off for the first time since my sophomore year in high school and I’ll have my evenings. It’s going to be a huge change and helluva lot to learn, but it’s trade I’m more than willing to [...]

Glad Jay Gibbons decided to show up last night. It’s been a wretched season for Jay thus far. Part of it is the fact that he’s almost a player without a position. He can play outfield, but he’s a below average defensive player. I’ve seen it before and you have too…on many occasions. The 1st base [...]

All right, I’m finally back.
Didn’t get to see much of the White Sox series, but its nice to see our boys get a comeback win.
I’m not ready to annoint Trembley the man for the job. He’s 12-10 thus far. Let’s face, Perlozzo is a pretty easy fact to follow. Trembley’s more flexible with the lineup [...]

Sept. 8th

Over at the Loss Column, they’re organizing a fan rally September 8th. The O’s are hosting the Red Sox that day, so make it there. Buy your tickets early since the Red Sox fans are going to try to snap them up. Here’s their post with all the info you need. I’m going to try to [...]

With today’s 2-1 loss against the Rangers, the O’s have stumbled through the season’s first half with a     mark.
Not exactly what I had hoped for.
Here’s some of the notable events thus far.
Sam gets the hook.
This was due. After some time has passed, I feel bad for the guy. That said, the change still had to [...]

Olson debuts tomorrow

Garret Olson makes him major league debut tomorrow.
Olson’s minor league stats.
Olson may only make one start because Trachsel will be able to make his next start after the All-Star break. I’m crossing my fingers that Olson has a dynamic debut where it would make it hard to send him down. Of course, the following could [...]

Catching up

It’s been a busy weekend, thus no posts until now.
Have to give a tip of the cap to Aubrey Huff. It’s been a very forgettable season for Huff. There’s been many times this season, where Huff has caused us anguish at the plate. Two men on and two outs, he hits a massive pop-up, or…that [...]
