THE FIRST EVER 161-1 SEASON CONTINUES TOMORROW!

4/8/2011 9:21:09 PM

5-0 over Rangers in game 1 of the doubleheader

Britton (2-0) went 7.2 shutout innings, putting his season ERA at 0.66

Jason Berken finished it off for him

HR's from Jones, Markakis, Reynolds (who currently has a .292 BA compared to .198 last season)

i think it's safe to say the O's are for real...i won't say they'll make the playoffs, but they will cause trouble for anyone they play. the pitching staff is absolutely carrying this team right now

haven't been this excited/proud since the late 90's

yikes! got that ass beat in game 2

Arrieta had a rough night, gave up 8 ER through 3 innings

hopefully they can pull out a win tomorrow to make it 3 straight series wins

4/10/2011 1:10:09 AM

Lol if the o's are even .500 by the all-star break, they'll be champions of the earth

4/10/2011 3:13:43 PM

Oh boy great outting from Guthrie and he's gonna get the loss because his teammates couldn't hit. Fucking hate that stat.

4/10/2011 4:09:07 PM

yes

the bats were quiet today, and i believe at this point no player is hitting over .300

that needs to change, because the pitchers are handling their biz and the only thing impeding success this season will likely be poor hitting

4/10/2011 6:18:06 PM

Go O's

4/11/2011 9:20:55 AM

if Emmitt Smith covered baseball, he would say that Tillman got "blowed up"

1.2 IP, 9 hits allowed, 6 ER allowed vs. Yankees in a 7-4 loss

hopefully this doesn't become a trend

4/14/2011 12:09:18 AM

L 6-5 in 10 innings to the Yankees

O's are no longer in 1st place

4/14/2011 10:38:23 PM

Bullpen sucks

4/15/2011 11:47:41 AM

Aaaaaannnd at .500

4/16/2011 5:15:36 PM

things are not looking good

can someone provide some offense please?

4/17/2011 11:57:17 PM

4/18/2011 10:16:03 PM

lots of issues with this team right now

most importantly they have lost 8 straight. that's not good at all.

fix the bullpen, start knocking in some runs. i think over the losing streak they have been outscored like 48-17 or something. after tonight somewhere in the neighborhood of 53-19.

that's some foolishness.

GET IT IN GEAR, BIRDS

4/19/2011 11:43:53 AM

it's cool, simply a cal ripken jr tribute losing streak

next: earl weaver tribute winning streak???

4/19/2011 12:39:20 PM

looking very good tonight, 8-0 through 5

Wieters is 4-4 with RISP this season, including a 3 R double tonight...after his much ballyhooed hitting woes, seems like he's getting on the right track

4/19/2011 9:00:12 PM

aaaaaaand 5-4 over Twins, Wieters (6 RBI past 2 games) is coming alive

at this point Zach Britton (3-1, 3.16 ERA) is the most reliable pitcher on the roster at the ripe age of 23

Guthrie with the start tomorrow night...he's been pitching well but has gotten no run support. let's get the series win tomorrow!

4/20/2011 10:00:45 PM

man, I'm glad to see that things are back to normal

4/23/2011 5:00:30 PM

you're a week late on that post

last place in the division! hopefully just keeping the seat warm for someone else for the time being

4/25/2011 10:11:28 PM

Britton is killing it this season. 4-1, 2.84 ERA.

got the win tonight 4-1 over the Red Sox

4/26/2011 10:09:42 PM

lookin good, 3 game win streak

Britton continues to dominate

and no longer in last place in the AL East!

5/2/2011 12:08:29 AM

ah fuck it, tried to make a pictionary type deal

O's sweep Mariners

still shitty! there is a belief that Showalter may take over Andy McPhail's position as GM after this season, and hire a new manager

i'm so tired of all the losing. the AL East doesn't help, but a lot of high draft picks have tanked. something's gotta give...maybe all they need is Angelos to sell the team?

8/3/2011 9:54:12 AM

well, this thread sure petered out, didn't it

8/15/2011 7:54:38 PM

yeah well they suck, and no one cares

they need to sign Dylan Bundy (top 5 pick) by midnight. if they don't, someone needs to lose their job.

8/15/2011 9:23:50 PM

RIP Mike Flanagan.

8/24/2011 11:25:54 PM

he was a solid pitcher.

i miss the days of having three aces on staff, much like the Phillies have now.

McPhail (McFail?) needs to move on from his position (i.e., he needs to go), he's had enough time to construct a decent farm system, and the farm system is garbage. he drafts pitchers ad nauseum, but maybe one out of 4 turn out to be mediocre. i'm tired of being an Orioles fan. no matter what they do, they fuck it up in some way. i've just about had enough. growing up in Baltimore from 1985-1996, they were the only pro team in the city, and after 1998, they have been horrible. i'm all about supporting my teams, but when my favorite team is a chronic loser for 10+ years, i wonder why i support them. it's a tough division, but they did well in the late 90s, so why not now?

8/25/2011 12:56:14 AM

^That's where I was about five years ago. I grew up loving the O's and would catch as many games as I could. But, being an NC State fan, I have enough bad teams to support that I don't need to follow the Orioles anymore when the seemingly lose every day. I actually didnt realize that Mcphail has been there long enough to warrent firing, so i have no opinion on the matter. Angelos however needs to be strung up and then burned. hate that dude.
