Pack of Cards

I was at Target today and on a whim, I picked up a pack of baseball cards. Its a guilty pleasure of mine to do from time to time. Its always fun to pop open a pack and see if any of your teams players are in there. I had hope that I might get a Nick [...]

Taking the wrong exit

It’s Friday night and I’m sick, so I’m staying in. There’s nothing to really post about the O’s at the moment. I’m taking a self-imposed break of talking about the following:
-Erik Bedard trade rumors
-Brian Robers trade rumors
-The Seattle Mariners
-The Chicago Cubs
If something legit comes up then I’ll break it.
I try to stick to talking about [...]

Cleaning House….here

You may have noticed that things around here look slightly different. I added my email address, cleaned up the blogroll alittle, added a search, and cleaned up the categories. I’ve been meaning to clean up the categories for awhile. It’s been a bit dated with ‘Big Jon Knott, Perlozzo watch, and a bunch for throw [...]

On “Vacation”

I’m heading out and fixing to enjoy a 12 hour or so drive to Missouri, so there’ll be no posting here til Sunday. Hopefully in my time away, the O’s pull the trigger on a trade or four. I’d like some good news to come back to. Anyway, onto coffee and red bull for 800 miles.

My two week absence happened at the same time as the O’s yearly end of season season collapse. I’m glad I missed it. The first week of my absence was my yearly Ben’s week o’ fun. It didn’t start out as fun.
Me and my now former roommate Chris met up in Asheville for an Asheville [...]

I’m back

I’m moved in and got everything almost in order. I’ll start having fresh posts tomorrow. Guess what…I hate moving.

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 [...]

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 [...]

If I were a baseball player

I ripped this idea off from Rob’s blog, where he got it from Off Wing Opinion, and I’m just translating it from hockey to baseball.
Team I’d play for: The Baltimore Orioles, of course.
Jersey Number:47
Position: 1st Base (Lord knows we need a first baseman anyway)
Nickname: Big Ben
At Bat Music: Paint it Black- Rolling Stones 
Strengths: High OBP, [...]

A little down time

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve taken a few days off. There’s not too much going on news wise and in just a couple weeks spring training will be starting and there will be plenty to talk about. So until then, I’m taking it easy. I’ll post a couple times a week, so when Spring Training [...]
