If you feel like the O’s started off the season hitting the cover off the ball, and losing every game something like 8-6, but are now at the other end of the spectrum, losing every game 3-2, then well, the simple chart above certainly seems to support that feeling. Admittedly, the sample size for June [...]
Well, is it 2010 yet? Since, by the Orioles’ own admission, that’s the next time they have any plans to even try to be competitive, we might as well start the countdown now. Especially since they are now, in early May, showing the kind of gusto that they usually reserve until late August or September, [...]
The Orioles opened the 2009 season by taking their first 2 series, one each from the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays. A 4-2 first week leaves us little to complain about so far, and if it weren’t for the 5-1 start of the Toronto Blue Jays, we could even crow a little about [...]
The O’s followed up their sweep of Houston by dropping 2 of 3 in Milwaukee, taking 2 of 3 at Wrigley Field, then losing 2 of 3 in Washington over the weekend. Huff and Puff and Make Us Forget All About “Bubba the Love Sponge” Aubrey Huff, he of the eventful offseason, has been on [...]
Where did all this “O” come from? Seeing as we called them out in the last O’s weekly review we did, it’s only fair that we now praise the team for rediscovering how to score runs. They are averaging 5.6 runs per game so far in June, and are now fourth from last in the [...]
The O’s were able to put an end to their 5-game skid by beating the Yankees today at the Yard, 6-1. Garrett Olson shut down New York’s bats for 7 innings, getting a bit of redemption after being roughed up at Yankee Stadium in his last outing, and the Birds’ put 5 on the board [...]
SWEEEEEEEEEP! Don’t gimme that “its only 2 games” bull crap, either. Did you realize that its the first time in almost 3 years that the O’s have beaten Boston twice in a row? The fact that they pulled it off in a short, two-game series so that we are able to call it a sweep [...]
The “O’s” are in a bit of a free fall…. Ew is right. Guess we really did jinx them – ever since we posted the shot of the standings with the Birds at the top of the AL East, the 2008 O’s have been WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!! That is, 1-7, and a team [...]
Still on Top Despite some recent offensive struggles, the O’s remain in 1st place in the AL East, percentage points above the Red Sux. After taking 2 of 3 from the Yank-offs at home, the Birds proceeded to win the three game series in Seattle and go 1-2-1 in Chicago. Well not really 1 tie, [...]
