Tonight, the Orioles take on the Rangers in Arlington for their first playoff game since 1997. Buck announced his starter half way through the day on Thursday, as Joe Saunders takes the mound, in a win or go home matchup versus a team that has back-to-back World Series appearances. This is all information that everyone [...]

If you are reading this, then you most likely already know my stance on the Orioles catcher. This is the last article I will write on the topic for this season; as I would like to clear the air with everyone who disagrees with me (which apparently from the responses, is about everyone anyway). I [...]

After Sunday’s loss to the Eagles, fans are still trying to figure out how that game slipped out of the grasp of John Harbaugh. There is a long list of reasons why this team didn’t leave Philadelphia 2-0; the refs are not one of them. Though there were some bad calls, some terrible calls and [...]

Now obviously, I understand this is a virtual impossibility at this point of the season with the trade and waiver deadlines already passed and the Orioles in a pennant race. But the fact still remains that Wieters is severely overrated in Baltimore by almost everyone including, Manager Buck Showalter. I am not going to pretend [...]

The Orioles officially have surpassed their win total from 2011, winning their 70th game on Monday night versus the White Sox.

After playing only 8 games for Buffalo in the last two seasons, the risk-reward factor has all but disappeared. With Terrell Suggs [...]

Working in sports media for several years now, I have had the pleasure to cover different training camps over the past seasons; visiting Lehigh University with the Eagles, Redskins Park in Ashburn, Virginia and of course Ravens’ camp at both McDaniel College and the Under Armour Performance Center in Owings Mills. As the Ravens moved [...]

After about a three hour rain delay on Saturday, Eddie Murray was recognized as one of six players to be enshrined at Camden Yards with his own statue in center field.  He joined the likes of Earl Weaver, Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, Jim Palmer and soon to be, Cal Ripken Jr. as the fixtures in [...]

The Orioles called up Manny Machado (a well-known name here in Baltimore), the #3 rated prospect in baseball, for Thursday’s game versus the Royals. But was the move in relation to his personal performance or a drastic measure by a desperate team. There is a list of reasons why Machado will be in Camden Yards [...]

The Olympics, on video alone, have been everything anyone could ask for; excitement, drama, scandal and glory wrapped into about a half a month. The ratings have done well, while a rivalry has brewed between the U.S.A and China; other than politics and general stance of human decency. We have seen history made with Phelps, [...]
