The Orioles should bring back Trembley, unless they are prepared and able to sign a veteran Manager who has experienced past-success. My feelings on Trembley have not changed. I think he is a mediocre tactician, that is fairly solid with the media, and up-front with...
Minimum to be accomplished & calendar of events (Updated)
In early August, I blogged about what I saw as the minimum to be accomplished for the O's through the calendar end of 2009.http://baltimoresportsandlife.blogspot.com/2009/08/minimum-to-be-accomplished-calendar-of.htmlAs the season comes to an end, lets review, and...
Wieters finishing with a flurry
The O's lost another tough game tonight, but the most-important take is that Matt Wieters is finishing-strong. For the third-time in four-games, Wieters had 3 hits. Wieters ends tonight with his batting-average at .287, and with his two-doubles, his OPS is probably...
Matt Wieters 2009 Review

Nick Markakis 2009 Review
The fact that you can label Markakis' 2009 season disappointing, only illustrates how talented Nick Markakis is. With 15 games remaining in the season, Markakis is batting .297, with 16 homers, 42 doubles, and 97 rbi. Those are all solid-numbers, but a closer look...
Brian Roberts 2009 Review
As the 2009 O's season comes to an end, I am going to review the results of a number of the prominent players you plan to move forward with. I will start this review, with the Orioles normal lead-off hitter. Roberts turns 32 on October 9th. To start the 2009 season, I...
