Great move by Ozzie Newsome the other night to acquire cornerback Josh Wilson from Seattle. I don’t know how he managed to get a starting-caliber player at the team’s biggest position of need for basically a handshake and a smile, but he did. The man is a wizard. One more piece of the puzzle heading [...]

At press time tonight, Brian Matusz has held the Red Sox to two runs through six innings, both of them coming on a homer. And amazingly, even though Josh “hemp necklace” Beckett has been their Darth Vader, the O’s have backed Matusz with three runs of their own. Win or lose tonight, consider this: we’re [...]

So the Orioles — the disappointing, disheartening, discouraging bunch that began this season with epic futility and forced us to question our notions of progress — now stand at 16-10 since Buck Showalter took the reins. They just swept the Angels on the road, a feat made even more impressive by the fact that it [...]

Rough news out of Washington today as the Nationals announced that phenom Stephen Strasburg will probably need Tommy John surgery. That means roughly a year away from competitive pitching. That means the Nationals’ chances of significant improvement in 2011 just took a serious, possibly debilitating, hit. I think all of us knew this was a [...]

For their part, the Ravens have already clinched a winning August. Nothing that happens on Saturday against the Giants (7:30 pm, M&T) can change that. More surprising, and certainly more impressive, is the fact that the Orioles are within striking distance of a winning August of their own. All they have to do to get [...]

Last night my wife and I (that’ll never stop sounding odd) headed up to Red Brick Station for some dinner and drinks and conversation. I had a pint of their Daily Crisis IPA, as I always do, and also had their blueberry seasonal (which is surprisingly good). The Ravens-Redskins game was on and the bar [...]

It’s true what I said about these Orioles losses feeling different now than they did earlier this season. All the good things we’ve had to say about the team’s renewed attitude/energy/sense of purpose so far in the Buck Showalter era? Also true. Most of us, however, were careful to remind ourselves (and others) that the [...]

It was a fairly dismal result for the Orioles tonight at home against Seattle. 4-0 victory for the visitors behind Luke French, who carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning. Kevin Millwood pitched well enough to win with one run and six hits over eight innings. Lack of run support, yet again. Familiar story, no? [...]
