Weird confluence of ex-Orioles converged in the bottom of the 13th at Coors Field. Score was 2-2, Rockies had non-ex-Oriole Troy Tulowitzki on first base, with two outs. On the mound was Will Ohman for the White Sox and at … Continue reading →

D. Lee

Posted on June 26, 2011 by Stan

Derrek Lee is disproving a lot of naysayers. Dusty Baker says he is a second half player…so, he may just be 2-3 weeks early in heating up. For a team struggling to develop its’ own talent, I think Lee and … Continue reading →

Interesting Conjecture

Posted on June 25, 2011 by Stan

At today’s State of the Orioles chat with fans at Camden Yards, O’s GM Andy MacPhail deftly ducked a question from a fan about his status after this season. Perhaps ducking is too harsh a word in accurately describing how … Continue reading →

45,000 fans made it out to see the Orioles play the Cincinnati Red Legs. As I type this, we’re about to start extra innings in a 4-4 game. But, the real news is how much better the ball park experience … Continue reading →

3 Days in Pittsburgh # 12

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Stan

Top of 8th, O’s trailing 5-4. Would be ultra disappointing to come out of here with one win. True, the two big runs that put the Pirates in front were unearned on a two our error by Blake Davis, but … Continue reading →

3 Days in Pittsburgh # 11

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Stan

4th inning a key…O’s up 4-2. McCutcheon leads off with a double, followed by an advance on first pitch wild-pitch to Walker. Vital to keep it to no more than one this inning.
