Baltimore Orioles Baseball
O’s fans should stop living in fear of Boston, and NY
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...

As the O’s World Turns – Johnson, Feliz, Soriano and Rodney
There were a number of different things to take note of today, if you are an Oriole fan.First, the unprotected Steven Johnson was selected by San Francisco in the Rule 5 draft.I do not think Johnson is ready to regularly pitch in the Majors, and do believe the Giants...
Attention will turn to the bullpen
With the acquisition of Millwood, I see the attention of the Orioles Front Office turning to the bullpen. I am sure that if Andy MacPhail receives a positive medical report on Erik Bedard, that an offer will be made; but I do not see the O's now actively pursuing...
