My goodness, year after year we seem to think this team can get no worse. WHAMO! Slap in the face even more. With the hope coming off the final 57 games in 2010 and the 30-31 start this season; who would of thought it turns sour again? None of us saw this coming. They are just dreadful right now, So much so,the only person I'm happy for is Dave Trembley. Whom we all thought was a dud coach at

Over the past few days it pains me to say I am embarrassed by some of the facebook postings by friends who must truly believe that Presidents Obama, Clinton and W. Bush would inflict true harm on their own country. I am involved as a political activist because I believe in smaller government with more power to the people and less overall spending however I know the other views may be different

Folks tend to forget the coaching is 100% different in 2011 from this time last year. Not just Showalter but his staff has the credentials other teams wanted in a big way. Hell we almost landed a pitching coach who got a manager job. Also failed to bring up is the fact the Orioles now have revolving minor league instructors, a set at the high level and a set at the lower level so that players

The starting infield is an upgrade over 2010 for sure. There was not a Homerun hit by a 1st baseman until late July. Yes I said late July. BROB is healthy and was not in the lineup until late in 2010. Hardy is a steady upgrade at SS for sure. Reynolds while he wont hit .300 he will hit 30 Home Runs with 120 games in AL East Ballparks. Weiters while he may not be the hopeful savoir we all

Not looking to purchase playoff tickets however the Orioles Off season has not been so bad on shopping this off season. The front office gets a C+ so far and that grade could change depending on how Reynolds hits in 2011. The list is not 100% accurate but to be real here is the shopping list I came up with 2 months back. 1B(1 needed) Martinez Konerko Dunn LaRoche Lee *signed 1 year deal Glauss

The defense looked much better or rather more exciting to watch despite going against a running QB. With Reed in the secondary and now Wilson starting over Washington the secondary has picked it up. Now Wilson is no Deion Sanders but he has played above Washington who was inactive yesterday. I noticed on D,Cody got more snaps in the 2nd half and he was able to stuff the run or at the least clog

Well we are in full swing into the NFL season with 4 games already played. Ravens are 3-1 and may have had the worse offensive game behind them. Of course one can not think the defense will play as well the next 12 weeks as they did the 1st 4 weeks but who knows at this point? My goodness the Orioles finish 34-23 in the 57 games Buck Showalter has been the manager. What is impressive is not

Pie' is finally healthy and playing well and is batting .360 over the last several weeks and showing some pop in his bat. One has to think had Pie' and BROB been healthy all season if Dave Trembely is still around? None the less the Orioles have a confident manager and Pie's emergence is a pleasant surprise to some. Has it finally clicked in for Felix? We will see over the last 6-7 weeks of

The rest of the season these 3 guys are whom I am following to see progression. I want to see steady to raising averages, consistent play in the field and a little bit of power down the stretch. As for everyone else its all for nothing but going through the motion not that I don’t care for others but these 3 are the future of the Orioles as far as hitting. Scott is that wildcard I will be pulling

 It is now safe to say the Oriole have now reached a low point in the organization. I be in the right area if I guessed there where 2000 people at the game last night. The poor vendors inside, vendors outside, the establishments outside are now going to be facing choices to lay off, cut, close up for good. This does affect the Ravens as these vendors are needed more so then we think..... Anyhow

Lets say he gets another 13 wins this season putting him at 275... If he can do this 2 more season he could damn well hit 300 wins for his career. Now he has not been a dominate pitcher and never won a Cy Young although he did win 20 games 1 or 2 times. His ERA is actually in the mid 4's but he is very consistent even at almost 48 years of age. 300 would lock him up for the hall of fame

Between January 1st and April 15 the US Government projects income for working Americans. During that time frame it is projected that each worker is to pay that much tax throughout the calendar year via income tax collection. With that in thought the US Government is able to predict its next fiscal years spending that starts on October 1st. So if the US Government, for example, estimates to

Friends, In 2003 I was coaching a coed softball team in Glen Burnie,Md and one of our friends and teammate,Lisa Foster was killed in an auto accident involving a high speed driver on B&A Blvd in Anne Arundel County. The driver whom hit Lisa head on was drinking that night and walked away from the accident. How sad it was as Lisa was the team designated driver that night as she always looked out

 I believe the losing ways was more so to do with Angelos thinking he could call the shots better then Gillick,Wren,Thrift,Beattiegan but knew once he talked to George Macphail, Andy Macphail was the right guy to install the Oriole way back to the organization. If you do not know who George Macphail is then you are not a true fan of Baltimore sports.  The Orioles had the big payrolls for a few

Baltimore Orioles, well its hard to argue for them after 12 miserable seasons. They are doing the right things and there was no one to sign this off season and in my view they where not ready to trade away for a big time name as of yet. It has taking what 3 years for Mcphail and Jordan to build that farm up?  You don;t want to injure the system by trading away 5-10 players for 2 guys. Interested

February is Heart Disease awareness month, which means it’s time for us all to get checked for Heart Disease. Do you think you’re too young to care? Think again. In 1993, a doctor in Glen Burnie accidently discovered that I had a rare heart condition. He’d found a hole in my aortic bicuspid valve. I was only 20 years old and played basketball regularly. So how was this possible? No, it wasn’t

There was some miss chances I seen that where possible turn around for the outcome of the game. -McClain dropped a pass on the 3 yard line that I feel he could of scored if he caught it(4 points) - Dawan Landry had his hands on a possible INT in the 1st half and while running full speed was not an easy

If by chance the Ravens split the last 2 weeks lets look at how the Ravens will make it into the playoffs or not. Ravens would be 7-5 in the Division.

At the break the Orioles are 40-48 after 88 games that would equal a 73-89 record if the Oriole where to duplicate the rest of the way. 33-41 would be the record the rest of the way to get to 73-89.

I am not saying I was a huge Michael Jackson fan since I turned 13....But before 13 I was doing the moonwalk, had the jacket, the moves on the dance floor that I can still do to this day if the old back allows it. Hey I admit I was a fan as a youngster and it is a positive memory for me to recall those days and when Beat It came on the speakers at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore everyone was up and

As bad as the Orioles season has been so far this fan is excited to see a select few young prospects up and playing for the Baltimore Orioles. Especially Matt Wieters and Nolan Reimold. Reimold is on pace to possibly be named rookie of the season, yes there is a long way to go in the season but Reimold has produced. Matt Wieters went yard last night and has been seeing the ball and spraying it

By the summer of 1944, Adolf Hitler was a victim of his own success. He had conquered so much territory, he was finding it difficult to defend it all. He was fighting the Russians in the east and fighting the Americans and British in the south as the Italians were collapsing under General Patton's tanks. If the allies were to gain a hold on what he called the "Atlantic Wall", he would be fighting

Matt Wieters will make his Major League Debut on Friday night for the Baltimore Orioles. The top minor league prospect was told of the news last night then went out and went 4 for 4 at the plate for the AAA Norfolk Tides. Matt Wieters is not only big with the bat bus his defensive skills behind the plate as Catcher will delight Oriole fans.

In 30 games with the Norfolk Tides, AAA farm team of the Baltimore Orioles, Noland Reimold is bating .396 with 9 Home Runs with 27 RBI and swiped 5 bases. Reimold has primarily played LF for the Tides as the Orioles are hoping Reimold is the LF for a long time to come. With Felix Pie struggling on the parent club batting just .180 with the Orioles fans are calling for Pie to be demoted and to

I look for the Orioles to move up David Hernandez in May and move Troy Patton up to AAA from AA ball if both guys continue to progress well as they are at this time. At that time Brian Matusz could very well go from A to AA ball. I do not believe Chris Tillman or Jake Arrieta will see a major league ball park before the 40 man call up late in the season. Add to that thought...Rich Hill will be

Baltimore Orioles: I am going to use this topic to post my high hopes for Noland Reimold....Reimold appears as if he could very well be ready to play lF everyday for the Orioles very soon. Reimold could very well hit 15 HR's a season and bat .280 in my opinion and I am giving a low estimate....He could very well be a guy that hits 30 HR's a season and be an All Star on a regular basis.

All of a sudden we are into March and coming around the 4th turn to finish winter 2008/2009. As the wife and I get ready to jump feet 1st into parenthood, we have just a few days of being "just the two of us" in our own home after 12+ years.

I accidently discovered my heart disease at the young age of 20. In 2001 at the age of 28 I had Open Heart surgery and would not be alive today if not for either of those events I just mentioned.

Don't know what went on but I could not log into my blog for a few days going, I am back up and running in 2009. My interest in the Super Bowl is low not that fact that the Steelers are in but more so of the fact the Ravens season was an emotional high for me. With that being said I have had little interest in football the last 12 days. My expectations where low for the Ravens at the start of the

Well lets start with the losing aspect of being a Baltimore sports fan as the Baltimore Orioles lost out on a bid to claim 1st baseman Mark Teixeira from Severna Park,Maryland. The 1st baseman opted to sign with the New York Yankees for 8 years and $170 million. One can not blame the guy for wanting to win and get paid at the same time and the pressure wont solely be on Mark as of course he is

The Colts clinched a spot in the post season last night with a come from behind victory and many other teams are playing important games this weekend including the Ravens versus the Cowboys, Eagles versus Redskins,Steelers versus Titans and so on.

Well it appears the lowest price per gallon on Halloween 2008 is $2.25 on Crain Highway. We are down from $4.95 earlier this year. $2.70 a gallon folks since Bush lifted the executive order back in June.

5 years ago in October 2003 my friends and I lost a friend thanks to a bad decision by a thug in a car. This thug choice was to take a couple of drinks hop in the car and speed on the wrong side of the road despite being picked up for drunk driving earlier in the month this thug still made the choice to risk other lives on the road. Lisa Foster a coed softball teammate of mine lost her life in

The impossible has happened in the American League as the Tampa Bay Rays have landed into the World Series. The Rays not called with the Devil any longer won the best of 7 series against the Boston Red Sox 4 games to 3. Baseball fans all over the country still are left wandering is this team for real. If they win the World Series will they get the due respect? This baseball fan be it an Oriole

An online site is claiming it has the rights to 2009 Led Zeppelin tickets. I will not post the link until confirmation comes from Led Zeppelin themselves. The site claims Jimmy Page, John-Paul Jones and the son of the late John Bonham,Jason are rehearsing for a world tour and a possible new album. Robert Plant is finishing up a tour of his own so rumored names have been filling in on the

In my opinion if the Orioles can not land Tex,Burnett,Moose then the Orioles might as well trade Roberts,Huff and whoever else they can trade for prospects. If the Orioles can not upgrade via free agency then this team will be worse off then the 2008 season. The Rays,Red Sox are in the AL quest for the World Series invitation. The Yankees are the Yankees and the Blue Jays when healthy are as good

I am now getting my voice back but still have no clue where my shoe went after that debacle of a 4th qtr. I guess I had high expectations after seeing the team play so well but scoring 10 points is not going to win you football games. Louzy flag on Suggs when the ball should of been blown dead to begin with. We got no luck I guess? My guess its Stovers last season as he missed a FG and at least 1

A tough loss for sure but no one expected at the start of the season this to be an over time thriller like it was. The game was classic and featured hard hitting and players where carried off the field several times. The Steelers lost a couple of Running Back as well an O-Lineman for the season. Overall I was impressed with the play of the Ravens and Joe Flacco performed well on the road on a

College Park and Annapolis,Maryland both the Terps and Midshipmen pulled off upset wins against ranked teams on the road over the weekend. Both teams showed a lot of energy and poise all game. Several points in both games the thought of possibly this will go the other way never crossed my mine.

This guy comes out every season and once the 9th loss in a row happens he pops on his brown grocery bag. The theory is the Orioles start out strong but use their bullpen to much because of dreadful starting pitching. By August the Orioles need to reach for Arms not ready for the big show. They usually sink down to AA ball to grab a young arm who is not groomed as of yet and the guy gets lit up

In my thoughts and I get attacked for name dropping but 2 pitchers are needed with Guthrie or this time next year we could be back on the same sinking ship. We need 2 guys like Burnett, Garland via free agency or trade whatever gets 2 veteran arms here on this staff. The guys at Norfolk may not have it as they where rushed along to fast several times.

$1 can get you a seat at Oriole Park at Camden Yards for the month of September thanks to the Orioles and MASN. That's right 1 buck and you can see MLB baseball. That's about all the Baltimore Orioles are worth this month or at least their pitching. The Orioles pitching has taking its annual dive as the Starting pitching is horrible and the bullpen spent.

Yesterday the greatest coach to put on a Baltimore uniform turned 78 years old,Earl Weaver. Weaver is a true legend in Baltimore and elsewhere. Weaver won 1480 games as manager of the Orioles and his scouting reports on all players in the MLB when he was coaching the Orioles changed baseball. For whatever reason Weaver was the 1st coach to use stats of all kinds on every player. He knew what

The Baltimore Orioles have been known to fall off the baseball field come August the 10 previous seasons but this season things may be different. They will not be playoff bound and may not even see .500 baseball this seasons end but they will finish the season running out every ground ball and diving for an out.
