16-25, 121 games left
On March 31st, I said the following: "As we have discussed before, in the 2008 season, the Baltimore Orioles won 68 games. If you were to guarantee me that Wieters would be brought up April 17th,and that the O's would end April with Hill, and Bergesen in the rotation-...
Tonight was the last game vs NY before Wieters joins the O’s
The O's do not face NY again until July... The O's have had their brains beat in for a decade by the Yanks... and tonight was no different (shockingly) with Adam Eaton likely making his last start as an Oriole.Baltimore was swept out of town, and I really do not...
Fixing the Bullpen
Heading into the 2009 season, I believed the O's had the makings of a strong bullpen.I thought with the limitations of the rotation, that the bullpen would be overworked at times.I thought when you combined that overworking, with being in the AL East, that would lead...

The American League East is always going to be a fight
Winning games in the American League East, particularly on the road is always going to be a fight.Despite watching another game get away from the Orioles at Yankee Stadium last night, I left the game feeling like the O's are closing the overall talent gap.This Oriole...
