Thoughts on the Yanks 27th title & the O’s
The New York Yankees won their 27th World Title tonight, and even though I hate the Yankees more than the Pittsburgh Steelers, Duke Blue Devils, Boston RedSox, and North Carolina Tar Heels combined; I really do not care. All that matters to me as an Oriole fan, is...

How much would you bid for Aroldis Chapman?

I would like to see The Orioles hire B.J. Surhoff as their Bench Coach, and Rick Sutcliffe as a roving Minor League Instructor. My reasoning for wanting them to rejoin the organization, has less to do with them being former Orioles, vs. the type of players they proved...
Snyder and Bell off to good starts in Arizona
Brandon Snyder and Josh Bell only have 37 combined at-bats in the Arizona Fall League, so you can only read so much into their numbers. A limited sample-size, is a limited sample-size after-all. That said, they are both producing, and that beats the alternative. In...
Local Media on the 2010 Baltimore Orioles
ABC has a new show titled ‘Flash Forward’, where the basic-premise is that everyone on Earth passes-out at exactly the same-time, and sees a glimpse of their future 6 months from now.Recently, I asked members of the local-media that follow the Baltimore Orioles, to...
