(Photo Courtesy of The Sun) As Thyrl Nelson wrote earlier this week and my friend Sam Angell (who works dilligently at the University of Maryland and previously worked for BaltimoreRavens.com) Facebooked-this has been about the best week for an Orioles fan since-say-1997. Winners of 7 of their last 8, the call-up of “future Hall of Famer” Matt ... Read More »

It is always a shame to me to watch the scene at a Belmont Stakes where there is no Triple Crown on the line. It feels as though all of the energy is out of the race; which is supposed to be amongst the most prestigious in the entire sport. I vividly remember 2006; when an ... Read More »

The excitement tonight is for all of us. But don’t get carried away. Matt Wieters alone does NOT make the Orioles a playoff team……certainly not yet anyway. But this IS a major piece in what we can only hope will be a major change in the organization. Enjoy this tonight. TRY to keep it in perspective though. Let’s see ... Read More »

It will be all too easy for MASN to make yesterday’s game a future “Defining Moment.” Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The Orioles are not playoff contenders. But yesterday was about as much fun as I’ve had watching an Orioles game as I can remember. I was at Padonia Station yesterday afternoon to watch the UEFA ... Read More »

Tom Clayton: Drew 10-1, Glenn 20-1 Thoughts: Stay sober tonight Tom. 1-2 Coors Lights are okay, but let’s try to avoid kissing anyone…. Christopher Stoner: Drew 10-1, Glenn 18-1 Thoughts: Anyone can write a lot of blogs and cite statistics. Not everyone has the personality to engage an entire city. An acerbic personality probably doesn’t. Jerry Reinhardt: Drew 10-1, ... Read More »

I’m as excited about Matt Wieters as just about anyone else; but let’s keep things in perspective. The Orioles are STILL going to be terrible this season. Matt Wieters is not going to be the AL MVP. BUT……things should get more exciting; and we’ve been desperate for that. Best of Tuesday’s WNST Blogs: Drew Forrester can’t help but ... Read More »

I am totally receptive to Jason Berken getting tonight’s start for the Orioles. They weren’t going to go with one of the members of the ‘cavalry’, so Berken is as good as any of the other options. In fact, he’s probably more exciting than Pauley or Waters. Of course, they COULD have just brought up Hernandez, ... Read More »
