Here we go… Opening Day, we go.
Ahhh, MASN HD. This is nice. If I’m going to see a losing season, I want to see it in a crisp HD picture, so every Luis Hernandez error and every ugly pitch from Steve Trachsel is in the highest definition.
I’ve missed the forced banter between Jim Palmer and Gary [...]

This is the third Opening Day that I’ve done the blog. This one is the sweetest one in a long time. O, we’re not going to playoffs this year and we’re not going to have a winning record….but for the first time since the days of Pat Gillick and Davey Johnson, the Orioles have a [...]

I go to work at 6 tomorrow morning and the good thing about my job is that I’m not locked into a set schedule. If I get things done quick and hustle, then I can wrap up early and vice versa. So the plan is tomorrow, to move quick and get done and watch as [...]

I wanted this to happen, but I didn’t think it would….BUT it happened!
The Orioles finalized their roster today, releasing veteran outfielder Jay Gibbons, who had been the second longest tenured member of the club.
With the move, the Orioles are responsible for paying the $11.9 million left over two years on Gibbons’ contract. Utility infielder Scott [...]

Did the NL yesterday, so here’s my picks for my beloved American League
AL East
Red Sox
Blue Jays
Yankees
Devil Rays
Orioles
Ah, the AL East. I’m picking the blasted Red Sox to win. Yeah, they lost Schilling and Beckett’s back is slightly cranky but that’s not going to kill them. They have enough young pitchers to plug in Schilling’s spot, [...]

Didn’t see this coming, but saw it on Camden Chat today. Brian Burres is 5th starter and Matt Albers will start in the pen. I don’t think this will last too long. I remember well Burres’ starts last season. He’d do ok for a few innings and things would often run afoul in the 4th [...]

Here’s my fearless picks for the National League. I’m definately more of an AL guy than an NL guy, so my knowledge of some the teams (especially in the West) is slightly lacking. But I know enought to pick ‘em.
NL East
Braves
Mets
Phillies
Marlins
Nats
I like the Braves offense better than the Mets (Jones, Teixiera, Francour, and McCann) over [...]

MacPhail has said that the Brian Roberts to Cubs deal “is all but dead.” That may be, but through this offseason, when has he been forthcoming to the press? Through the Bedard trade saga, he was never very chatty with the press and why should that change now.
Maybe it is dead, or maybe he’s just [...]

I did a season preview for the fine folks over at Razzball.com. Here’s the link. I’ll be doing a different season preview for the blog in a couple days. I figured it’d be cheap and dirty of me to re-use something on here that I did for somebody else.
