I've got a rope around my neck and I'm standing on a chair. If you make me talk about the Orioles I'm kicking it out and swinging. I'm done for awhile. I need a break. I know we're all Orioles fans and this stuff is supposed to matter but I just need a rest. Is Trembley the right guy for the job I don't care today. Did Gibbons find his stroke Dunno. Is Bedard healthy Call his doctor. The team still isn't any good and I'm jonesing for football. Any kind. College, pro, high school- hell, I'll...

I would imagine that by now someone has pointed out that the great saviour Andy MacPhail has not put together a championship team in 16 years, right I mean you can call me Dr. Doomsayer if you want to but before we get all tingly inside over this guy and his storied lineage let's examine some facts.
THE GOOD
He was the Twins G.M from 1985-1994 where he helped them to two world championships. In 1987, with a miniscule payroll, the Twins won it all as guys like Kent Hrbek, Kirby Puckett (the...

Yeah sure, Sam Perlozzo was fired today. Of course he was. The Orioles stink and the manager always gets the axe.CLICK HERE and you can listen to a clip from last Saturday's show where Andrew and I envisioned Perlozzo's next occupation. It should make you laugh.
Is Girardi the right guy Perhaps. If he wants the job which, in my opinion, is VERY speculative. He's a Yankees guy through and through. Torre's days are numbered and Girardi might be next in line to inherit the throne. Also, remember..

Blogging about local sports is a tough gig right now. How many times can we ask for Perlozzo's head on a platter or talk about woeful relief pitching and anemic hitting
The Ravens are off for awhile. Lacrosse is done. I think the College World Series is going on but as far as I know there's not a local team involved. So maybe it's time to turn this thing over to you the reader. What do you want to talk about Go ahead. Anything. You got gardening tips Andrew and I will post them. The perfect...

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Adam Dunn is the latest slugger whose name keeps popping up in trade rumors.Of course that happens a lot with Dunn.
As far back as '05 chat rooms have been active with talk of Dunn as a potential Oriole.So why notHe's an upgrade over Jay Gibbons the way a Corvette is an upgrade over a scooter- that's broken.Sure, he'll cost about 5 million dollars more but that's a steal folks.
Gibbons is making 5 million this year to sit on the bench or ground out weakly to short..

It's the most obnoxious phrase currently in the english language. "It is what it is" says nothing about anything. It allows the person who utters it to dismiss themselves from engaging in conversation. It can explain away a bad situation, a bad marriage or, in this case, a VERY BAD baseball team. It's Popeye's "I am what I am" revisited and it's YOUR BALTIMORE ORIOLES.
They're not over achieving, under achieving or just missing a couple of pieces. This Orioles team "is what it is".

If you're a neurotic, East Coast Jewish guy like me how can you not like Melvin Mora I mean here's a guy who yesterday asks his manager for a day off because he needs to clear his head. Claims he's "messed up... mentally."
http:www.baltimoresun.comsportsbaseballbal-sp.osnotes11jun11,0,7475986.storycoll=bal-sports-headlines
Meanwhile, a couple of weeks ago he gets angry at that same manager because he was never told beforehand that he wasn't starting that day. He claims he and his manager are...

Anyone who thinks the Baltimore Ravens are only the 7th best team in the NFL should have to take a urinalysis test.
Fox Sports released NFL power rankings yesterday. Yes it's early. Yes a lot can change between now and September but the Ravens were picked a rather disrespectful 7th below the Broncos, Saints and Seahawks. We can argue about the Colts, Patriots and Chargers (1st thru 3rd) later but there's absolutely no doubt the Ravens belong a solid 4th.

I'm tired of kicking the Orioles for their mistakes. They make them. We know that. We see it night in and night out. And we say the same things:
"They need to learn how to score late in the ballgame!"
"Stop using Baez!"
"When are they going to fire Perlozzo already"
"40 million dollars for THAT"
"Gibbons, you STINK!"
There's plenty more. But you get the point. My brother tries to remain optimistic about the team's future while I've screamed for change. I could go through a list of things last..

Idon't know why but, yesterday, I wrote this piece. Maybe it was the rain. I don't know exactly. Some of you may think this piece is too gloomy for a sports radio website, or worse, maudlin. But if blogging is supposed to be about human experience and emotions and a living diary of who we are, I think this qualifies. I hope so.
I watch baseball games while drinking in bars a lot these days. Mostly it's bars in the restaurants that sponsor our show. But I don't do it just to be supportive. I do..
