The Orioles come home having won 4 of 9 in their most recent road trip.  To us O’s fans, it’s hard for that to not feel like anything but progress, all things considered.  It just goes to show you that when Jeremy Guthrie pitches well, he can really carry this team.  Two of those four [...]

Here’s your open thread for game 3 at Minnesota, and the last we’ll see (THANK YOU) of the Metrodome.  Ever.  Now we just need to get rid of the Trop and we’ll be in business.  As I type, Reimold has cashed in 1 run, and another run has scored on a Cabrera error.  Guts will [...]

Ah, yes.  A timeless and familiar scene. And one of the more appropriate visual analogies of Orioles fandom as we’ve come to know it in the last decade or so.  We are Charlie Brown; Lucy is whatever cruel thing that is alternately giving us hope and dashing it. This image came to mind as I [...]

Let ‘em fly.  O’s vs. Twins.  Ravens vs. Jets.  Ngata just intercepted Sanchez for a touchdown.   Has there been a more exciting preseason game in recent memory?  There’s a real regular season feel to this game – the place is packed and rocking.

Jason Berken turned in a good-enough [...]

Milwaukee. Home of the Brewers, Bucks, fine cheeses, and Schlitz. Wisconsin is a beautiful state and worth a pass-through on any road trip. I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting Milwaukee, but I’ve driven through the country side and stopped to have a couple of drinks in Madison. I don’t know a damn thing about [...]

So how ’bout dem O’s? 21 comeback victories. 2 games over .500. Different heroes every night. All of this happening mostly under the radar since the entire AL East is playing well right now. Makes you wonder where we’d be in another division. There was plenty to like about last night’s game, including Q.S. Guthrie‘s [...]

Greg mentioned it in the comments and I had to post the whole quote: “You have to ask him and I know that’s no fun. And he’s going to have a stupid answer for you can count on it. He’s going to have some dumb-ass answer. He’s either gassed because he’s laboring. He’s protecting himself [...]
