Matusz served notice today in New York
Brian Matusz did not just win his 5th game today, he served notice to the New York Yankees and the American League East.That notice is that a new day is coming, and as soon as 2010; there is going to be a new Ace to deal with. Maybe you think these are premature...
Great experience for Tillman tonight
The ability of the O's to improve quickly in the immediate horizon, is tied to the abilities of their young-arms. You can not teach experience, you can only learn from. Consider tonight a major learning experience for Chris Tillman. NY and Boston are always going to...
Interesting weekend coming for the Orioles
As the weather cools, and the attention turns to the pigskin; it is easy to forget about the O's. While I am looking forward to seeing the Terps rebound on Saturday, and all attention will be with the Ravens on Sunday - the O's are going to start an interesting series...
Kudos for Brian Roberts
Brian Roberts hit his 50th double of the 2009 season last night, becoming only the 4th player in Major League Baseball history to have 3 or more seasons of 50+ doubles. When you are 1 of 4 of anything in MLB history, that is pretty amazing. When your company is the...

Nice weekend for the Birds
The O's will take 2 of 3 from the Texas Rangers this weekend, severely hurting Texas in their run for the playoffs. Matusz was able to battle back from a rough 1st inning yesterday, to give 7 innings, and earn his 4th win. Guthrie was strong today. Tillman took the...
Guthrie finishing strong to end 2009
You have to feel good for Jeremy Guthrie. With his 7 shut-out innings today, he has lowered his era to 4.96. Certainly nothing to brag about, but it looks a lot better than the 5.66 era he was sporting on August 16. During these past 4 starts, Guthrie has pitched 27...
Why I like the O’s to win 81-85 games in 2010
In my September/October preview I posted August 30th, I called for the O's to finish 2009 with a 68-94 record. Not far off the 72 wins I predicted for the O's in March. Since then, it has been formally communicated that Chris Tillman, and Brian Matusz will likely not...
