Orioles Get Millwood

Finally, the Baltimore Orioles are investing in some pitching.

Welcome to M*A*S*H City

For what the Baltimore-Washington area provides in culture, mild weather and pretty girls, it certainly balances out with the way it inflicts injuries on its professional athletes.

Adam Jones Wins A.L. Gold Glove

At least there is one spot in Charm City baseball culture not soiled by the dampened rag that passed as the Baltimore Orioles regular season; Adam Jones got his first gold glove.

Joe Biden’s Dangerous First Pitch at Camden Yards

The day U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden threw out the Opening Day first pitch at Baltimore’s Camden Yards was a good one.

Why Should The Orioles Care About Baserunning?

The managers and coaches can say what they want, it’s not a lack of concentration that’s causing the Baltimore Orioles to amass a reel’s worth of baserunning follies, it’s a lack of care.
The Orioles are in last place in the A.L. East. September is right around the corner. The young guys want to be rid [...]

The Triumph and Tragedy of the Orioles Streaker

He made it to opposite field. For that, he must be lauded.
He was taken down with a surprisingly simple forearm shiver. For that, he must be jeered.
This is the tale of the Orioles Streaker, a man who created what sadly, is the defining moment of the Orioles 2009 season.
