Adam Jones’ report card: A in hitting, F in fielding
Posted on 17 Apr 2013 by Brendan Keelan.
In tonight's Orioles-Rays game, which ended in a 6-2 Orioles loss, Orioles center fielder Adam Jones helped contribute to each of the two team's scores. Jones drove in the O's only two runs on a two-run homer in the third and also made two bad decisions in the field. He allowed a two run double in the fourth inning by overplaying a line drive hit by the Rays James Loney and then made a throwing...

O’s pick up from where they started in 2012, open 2013 season with a bang
Posted on 2 Apr 2013 by Brendan Keelan.
The Baltimore Orioles' incredible turnaround playoff season last year gave fans hope and new expectations for this season, which is also the Orioles 60th season. After everything that had happened last year, this offseason and this spring everything is up for grabs now in the AL East. In the O's opening day game with the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field they played to everyone's expectations w...

Orioles woes worsen both on the pitcher’s mound and in the batter’s box
Posted on 25 Jul 2012 by Brendan Keelan.
Tonight's game between the Orioles and Rays was a painful game to watch that ended in a 10-1 score in favor of the Rays. It became ugly right from the first pitch of the game from the O's Miguel Gonzalez to the Rays Desmond Jennings. Jennings hit a lead off home run on the first pitch out of Gonzalez' hand. The game did not get any better for the O's on offense nor on defense. Gonzalez left ear...

Yanks Back in the Hunt
Posted on 6 Jun 2012 by Stephanie Geosits.
It's hard to believe it, but the Yankees are just half a game out of first in the AL East. After beating Tampa, courtesy of another strong performance by Ivan Nova, the Bombers find themselves trailing only the Orioles. That's right – Baltimore. The Rays are hanging in as a close third, and the Jays are just 2.5 games behind the leaders. Boston is in last – four games back. How did ...

Jordan Rules (NOT!)
Posted on 27 Apr 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Told you so. After the Angels were eliminated last year I said they need to go after Jonathan Papelbon or Heath Bell (Who stinks right now in Miami). I am glad they signed Albert Pujols, but most of the Halos problems were in the bullpen. They still are. It took Jordan Walden all of two batters to lose the finale in Tampa Bay on Thursday. A fastball right down the middle to a fastball hitter. ...

Swept, A Sweep, and Heading for Home
Posted on 12 Apr 2012 by Stephanie Geosits.
After a fairly atrocious start in which the Yankees were swept by the Rays in a three-game set in Tampa, they rebounded by returning the favor to Buck Showalter's Orioles. With an even .500 record, New York returns to the Bronx for the 2012 home opener on Friday. The usual pomp and circumstance will be on tap, and Jorge Posada will have the honor of throwing out the first pitch. Hiroki Kuroda...

Fernando mania is coming to Tampa Bay and it’s sure to drive Rays fans insane
Posted on 4 Jan 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Before I break this news to you, you may need to sit down. Ok, here goes.…. I have just read that Fernando Rodney and the Tampa Bay Rays have agreed on a 1 year deal, worth an astounding 2-million dollars. There are options and more money in the future of the deal, but you get the gist. When I read that, I nearly passed out. If Rodney is worth 2-million, than Mariano Rivera is worth 2 bi...

TEXAS RANGERS ALDS PREVIEW
Posted on 30 Sep 2011 by George Kouvalis.
The Texas Rangers go into the 2011 MLB Playoffs as favorites this year. Last year the Rangers flew under the radar as underdogs, this time around anything less than a World Series Title will not be good enough in Arlington. The Texas/Tampa ALDS rematch series will have some bite to it. Tampa is still upset over last year's loss to Texas and will be out for revenge. Meanwhile, the Range...

Can The Red Sox Hold On Much Longer?
Posted on 23 Sep 2011 by "Baseball Brenda" Sepanek.
With six games left to play in the 2011 season, the Boston Red Sox are up a creek with one paddle. Their hopes and dreams are not entirely squandered, but they are certainly making it a little too dramatic here in Boston. It is a bit shocking to see them finishing the season they way they started. Back in April, all I could do was laugh it off and I didn't think it could get any worse. But, unl...

Tim Wakefield FINALLY Notches Career Win No. 200.
Posted on 16 Sep 2011 by "Baseball Brenda" Sepanek.
For those of you living in a cave, Tim Wakefield became the oldest and only active player in baseball, to record 200 career wins on Tuesday night in front of a very dedicated and patient crowd at Fenway Park. The key word in that run-on sentence is patient. Red Sox Nation waited for this monumental win since the end of July (47 days to be exact). It certainly gives meaning to the phrase, “...
