Aside from flogging the same Ravens dead horse day, after day, after day, after day after day…..I love the “let’s hope the Orioles go .500 conversation.”
Why does finishing the season at .500 get people excited? I know the Orioles have suffered through 12 straight losing seasons and fans want to put an end to that [...]

Oriole fans and their continued frustration with majority owner Peter Angelos has been the #1 hot button topic on Baltimore sports talk radio for the last ten years.
Oriole fans have no confidence that Peter Angelos will ever spend the money required to compete with the Yankees and Red Sox in a cash rich AL East. [...]

The Good:
Nick Markakis – despite playing on a terrible team and receiving very little protection in the line-up, Markakis continues to grind it out and put up solid numbers. He has proven that he is durable and dependable as an every day player. Defensively, Nick has a cannon and is always at the top of [...]

Ticket Prices in the AL East:
Yankees- $2625 – $14
Redsox- $325-$20
Blue Jays- $210-$9
Rays- $210- $10
O’s- $135- $9
The O’s stack up pretty nicely when it comes to ticket prices in the AL East. We have (mostly) the cheapest tickets around and while 99% of the time that is great news, when the New York Redsox and the [...]

Allow me to paint a picture for you…
I am wet and bitter. I was stupid enough to endure a 71 minute rain delay to finish watching the remainder of a 9-1 blowout. The Orioles were on the business-end of a tremendous beat down by the hands of Evil Empire light, a.k.a. Red Sox Nation. [...]

No, not Weiters making his debut, although that move summarizes the entire mood and modus operandi with the O’s in recent weeks. And it is exciting! The moment is upon us that we are finally seeing the bright young stars of a rebuilt farm system (via the draft and blockbuster trades orchestrated by [...]

As someone who has lived in Baltimore and been a huge baseball fan my entire life, I really do want the Orioles to win very badly. I know I sound like a hater on the radio, but it’s just 11 going on 12 years of frustration from losing seasons. There is some [...]
