The Wild Card race is now tied between the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays, thanks to the Orioles, who have whipped playoff contenders this month.There are only two games to play. The Red Sox play at Camden Yards through Wednesday, and the D-Rays are at home vs. the Yankees.I'd be a happy fan (an extremely delighted fan) if Buck and the O's could knock the BoSox out of post-season...it'd be "

Complaints about the New York Giants using injuries to slow the St. Louis Rams' no-huddle offense Monday night appeared valid -- and irrelevant. Faking injuries has long allowed NFL players to buy time without using timeouts. The Giants' Deon Grant appeared to fake one just as the Rams' offense was moving into scoring position. Grant got up and jogged off the field. The Giants' defense regrouped

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then

There are two things you can learn by stopping your back swing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove.

In Luke Scott's last 67 games he is hitting .320 with 19 HR and 45 RBI. Scott has always been a feast or famine streak hitter, however, 67 games is by far the longest hot streak he's ever had.This is Scott's 6th ML campaign. Has he matured into a dangerous hitter? Should the O's plan on having Scott in the middle of the lineup in 2011? or is this just a long hot streak and the O's should trade

Since a miserable 2-16 start to the 2010 campaign, the O's have gone 8-8 in their last 16 games. These against Boston (4-0), New York (1-5), Minnesota (2-2) and Seattle (1-1).The biggest difference has been the back end of the bullpen. Alfredo Simon was converted from starter to bullpen for 1 week while still at AAA Norfolk, then promoted and plugged into the O's bullpen as closer. He's got

As a lifelong Oriole fan, I am sick and tired of the BS emanating from The Warehouse and Front Office.Under the "leadership" of Andy MacPhail, the Orioles have finished in last place two consecutive years, with the worst records in franchise history. Essentially, he "threw away" two seasons, then declared that in 2010, the team would be "judged by wins and losses."So what's he do to UPGRADE the

It looks like a stormy April on the horizon for the Baltimore Orioles. Of the 22 games on the schedule, 16 are in the AL East with 13 of those against the Rays, Red Sox and Yankees against whom the O's were 16-39 last season. Those 16 games are sandwiched around a 6 game west coast road trip where the O's have long been poor performers.Although not officially announced, the starting rotation

The bad news is that Brian Roberts ailing back, which he has repeatedly claimed is not a serious problem, but has, nevertheless, kept him out of the lineup all spring, now has him in Baltimore seeing a back specialist.The good news is, not having Roberts in the lineup in no way hinders the O's chances of winning a pennant.
