Noted by Dan the Man in the comments, this story from orioles.com and the following nugget about Miguel Tejada: Trembley said simply that he wanted to let Luis Hernandez play, completely sidestepping a question altogether about Tejada not playing. Tejada, a four-time All-Star, seemed perplexed by the reasoning behind his seat on the bench. “They [...]

At this point, seriously, it’s more funny than anything else. Go O’s!

Ever since Rafael Palmeiro got busted for juicing I think we’ve all had one question in the back of our minds: does it stop there?

For anyone who thinks I’m too positive, or that I don’t criticize the team when [...]

Right now, with three minutes to go, the Orioles braintrust is somewhere, doing something. What do you suppose that is?
