Baltimore Orioles Baseball
MacPhail targeting Atkins for 1st is puzzling
I am a fan of Andy MacPhail. I respect what he is accomplishing with the Orioles. I agree with Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/jon_heyman/01/18/top.offseasons/index.html?eref=writers) that the O's have had a good...
Bring on Baseball; Attention turns to the O’s
With the Ravens playoff run now over, I will become even more anxious for the start of the baseball season. I am eagerly anticipating this forthcoming Oriole season. There should be no-doubt among Baltimore fans that this 2010 edition of the O's will A) Be the most...
Do you want Adam LaRoche?
My question of the day for Oriole fans, is do you want Adam LaRoche? LaRoche turned 30 in November, and spent 2009 with Pittsburgh, Boston, and Atlanta. For the 5th consecutive season, he provided at-least 20 homers. For his career, LaRoche has a .834 OPS, and has...

Wherever you get your Oriole news - be it MASN, Orioles Hangout, The Sun, Camden Chat, Talk Radio, etc etc - you see and hear the same argument from a very vocal percentage of the Baltimore fan-base. The argument is, that no matter what the Orioles do, they will never...
Spiked Eggnog / Snowbound Inspired Thread
If we are going to be snowed in all weekend, I would rather talk with optimism. I have said since the off-season began that I believe the O's will be close to .500 in 2010. Basically I saw the O's as a 75-80 win team prior to the additions of Millwood, Gonzalez, and...
Would the O’s be interested in Holliday for 1st?
As everyone knows, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, reported on the 17th that the O's had jumped into the bidding for Matt Holliday. Jeff Zriebec of The Baltimore Sun blogged in response that day, that his contacts stated the O's realistically believed they had little...
