This year’s Midsummer Classic will be quickly forgotten by the American Leaguers who got crushed by the San Francisco Giants. Matt Cain, Melky Cabrera, Pablo Sandoval, and Buster Posey all contributed towards the National League’s 8-0 victory over the American League. Amazingly the final score really leads people to believe that the entire AL team [...]

Nearly six months ago, I was watching along with everyone else as the catch-able pass nonetheless was dropped by Lee Evans. Not very long after that, I watched the kick from Billy Cundiff sail wide. I’m a little less heartbroken than I was in January, but not by much. I’ve barely been able to think [...]

With the Orioles good start and them being five games above .500 at the all-star break, fans should have high expectations for the second half. But will the O’s make the playoffs? In order for that to happen there must be a few things that take place. The Orioles have had several names swirling around [...]

With 28 seconds left in the 2012 AFC Championship, Joe Flacco faced a second down with one yard to go.  Well, you know what happened next.  Lee Evans dropped a pass in the front corner of the end zone to end a season that was filled with tremendous promise and frustration for the Ravens. So, [...]

With a 45-40 record heading into the All-Star Break that exceeded nearly everyone’s expectations, the Orioles are one of the feel-good stories of the season so far. While it’s nice to enjoy the thought that if the season somehow ended right now and still had playoffs, the O’s would qualify as the second wild card, [...]

The Orioles have surprised everyone in the first half this season.  They are above .500 and are seven games behind the Yankees for first place in the American League East. Although the Orioles had a hot start, they hit a wall when they faced R.A Dickey and the Mets on Jun. 18.  Dickey threw his [...]

Wretched. Sucky. Lopsided. These are just some of the adjectives I stumbled upon on Twitter this morning that described last night’s All Star Game, an 8-0 blowout victory for the National League. Right out of the gate, Justin Verlander, arguably the best pitcher in the American League, surrendered 5 runs to give the National League [...]

Like many serious baseball fans, I have been despairing for the All-Star Game in recent years. Ever since the farcical 2002 tie game and the subsequent “this time it counts” overreaction, the game has felt like it’s drifted more and more away from the platonic ideal. Bloated rosters, an increasingly-absurd voting process, not to mention [...]

After the 2002 All-Star game, the genius that is Bud Selig thought it would be a great idea to place value to the game by determining home field advantage for the World Series. Since, the game is more competitive, as managers are actually utilizing the 34 man rosters, instead of throwing players out there to [...]

It is Monday Morning. If you are like me on the first day of the work week you are probably trying to ease the depressing realization that the weekend is over and you have the five day grind ahead of you. For me at the 9-5 desk job I am spending the first hour(s) of [...]
