Orioles can’t play well with others July 31, 2006

So the Orioles entertained several offers for Miguel Tejada the last week, one of which looked like a no brainer if accurately reported (Roy Oswalt, Adam Everett, Morgan Ensberg) but in the end, nothing happens. The debate though over whether the O’s should or shouldn’t move Tejada is not the point right now.
The problem [...]

Camping Monday Morning July 31, 2006

The first day of full pads, like the first snow of winter, or the first Bengals arrest of the off season, let’s you know the time is now.
Few rookies expect to make much of an impact this season, but the one that must make his presence known is defensive tackle Haloti Ngata. [...]

The Buzz is Back July 28, 2006

Hosting Sportsline on WBAL Radio several times the last couple of weeks gave me the chance to gauge the pulse of Baltimore sports fans. I have been surprised at the level of continued interest (mostly engulfed in anguish) in the Orioles and frankly shocked at the lack of buzz surrounding the Ravens. I [...]

Kyle Boller learned the hard way, like the salary cap and pie, three is a hard [...]

Family Night at Camden Yards July 10, 2006

As we head into the All-Star break a look at the Orioles first half may require some form of pain reliever. 14 games out of first, eight games under .500 and only a game and a half up on Tampa in the fight not to finish last in the A.L. East. The overbearing weight [...]

Tejada Turmoil July 3, 2006

What to do, what to do, what to do? Miguel Tejada remains one of the best players in baseball, when focused, yet his attitude and suspect effort continue to help bring the Orioles down.
Okay, the Orioles have brought themselves down with a myriad of foul-ups only a Kansas City fan may truly [...]
