Last night’s game was one of the best, if not the best, Orioles game I have ever seen. It had it all. Lots of homers, good defense, sweet heads up plays that the O’s never make (picking off Jeter), great bullpen pitching, and the uberclutch bat of one Alex Cintron. The one thing it didn’t [...]

Homerun Derby

Bottom of the 8th, Kyle Farnsworth throws 4 or 5 pitches to Freddie Bynum with Adam Jones at first. During Bynum’s at bat, Farnsworth throws at least ten attempted pickoffs to first to try to get Jones. At first it was close, after the first five pitches…Jones gets the idea. Farnsworth still throws and still [...]

Happy Memorial Day

Lost this post in translation earlier today, so its time to fix it.

I hate it when people think a young pitcher is not going to pan out after a handful of starts. After Olson’s bad start against the Yanks last week, I saw some downer stuff on Olson. Stuff like “He’s not going to cut [...]

Not of best of days for Cabrera…or myself

So I’m missing the game today. Yeah I can watch the end up of it, but after being stranded in Pickens for three hours with my acursed lemon car…I feel more like taking a nap. I guess I can’t complain since this is the first time this year its broken, compared to 3 or 4 [...]

Steve Trachsel…not too good

Looks like the layoff did not pay off for Steve Trachsel. The Rays stole his lunch tonight and made him their own personal batting tee tonight.
The line for Steve Trachsel is downright ugly
1.2 innings- 7 hits 9 runs (all earned) 2 walks 1 K and 2 homers, both of which were hit by Evan Longoria [...]

Sometimes the Worm Turns quickly…

One thing that I’m guilty of, and for that fact every fan is, is being fickle. My man crush on a certain player can end abruptly. It can stay that way forever (ie Jay Gibbons) or it can resume when that player comes back around (ie Daniel Cabrera). I thought about this while watching the [...]

O’s crushing Yanks

The game is in the bottom of the sixth, so the crushing is not complete…
First off, the posting has been slightly sparse lately, but due to the number of off days the O’s have had, my work schedule, and having a full social plate lately…I’ve been busy. But now I’m back.
I miss the first 4 [...]

Rivalry Weekend w/ the Nats

I’m not big on Interleague play. At first it was a cool little novelty, but now I could really care less. Perhaps I’m bitter because the O’s no longer come to Atlanta every season for a series. Regardless, I think it’s run its course. Oh you could keep you “regional rival” maybe. Because everyone has [...]

5/14- Sweepin’ the Sox

I was keeping my expectations in check until this start for Daniel Cabrera, but after today…it’s official. I was sizing up the bandwagon, but now I’m back on it full tilt. He went 7 innings against a tough hitting team against the Red Sox. He gave up 3 runs, but held tough and didn’t walk [...]

Catching up 5/10

A few things to catch up on…

Trembley’s talking about using a 4 man rotation for a while with a lighter schedule coming up. The 4 man rotation worked for a long time in baseball, so if Trembley wants to do it for a few weeks, it won’t destroy the fabric of baseball. If the 5th [...]
