I agree with the decision to retain Trembley
Last week I argued that Trembley should be retained, unless the organization was prepared to hire a veteran manager who had experienced past-success. http://baltimoresportsandlife.blogspot.com/2009/09/orioles-should-bring-back-trembley.htmlTonight, it has been...
Uehara for 2010 closer
One move I want to see almost immediately after this season ends, is the announcement that Uehara will be inserted as the 2010 closer. I know that a basic tenant of Andy MacPhail's overall philosophy is that you do not make moves until you absolutely have to, but I...
Most disappointing part of the 2009 O’s season
The most disappointing part of the 2009 O's season, is not this pathetic losing-streak to end the year; but playing September ball without their full roster.There is no way that the Birds go through this type of complete collapse if Jones, Reimold, Bergesen, Mickolio,...

Matt Wieters 2009 Review
The 2009 season included the Major League debut's of a number of players that will play a prominent role in the future of the Baltimore Orioles. The May 29th debut of Matt Wieters represented a memorable changing of the guard for this franchise. That day, I provided...
Nolan Reimold 2009 Review
I spent a large-part of the 2008 season arguing for the Major League promotion of Nolan Reimold, in many different local forums. The intensity of my argument only increased on August 1st, 2008 when the non-waiver deadline had passed, and Jay Payton was still on the...
