Except for the Nats.... Hopefully when we get a new stadium things will shape up. I went to the Nats-Mets game, and there was practically as many Mets fans as there were Nats. Lol totally random but I saw someone with a "Hi my name is" sticker and the name was Oliver Clothesoff Haha

I sure hate to be pessimistic, but things are not looking good. Loewen may be lost, the rest of the starters can't get deep into games, the bullpen is overworked, and the team is not hitting. Maybe the off-day Thursday will give them a shot in the arm.

great game last night 0-0 until a walkoff HR in the 10th woot!

SWEEP!!!!! One game under .500! Bring on the BoSox!

Bah! giving up 6!!! runs in the bottom of the 9thy. I literally threw my hat in disgust. Why, why, why take out Guthrie?

MasonsInquiries · May 14th, 2007, 02:57 AM

i don't know what to say about today's game. i think it's going to hurt their spirit a little bit. giving up SIX runs in the bottom of the 9th to lose a game? very frustrating. shit like that just doesn't happen everyday. but they'll recover. it's just gonna' take some time.

micrip · May 14th, 2007, 08:35 AM

That had to be the biggest choke job I've ever seen in any sport, at any time. And you know what? I remarked to my wife that after that ball was not caught for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 9th, that they were going to lose the game. And Ray has sure blown some saves in spectacular fashion this year, hasn't he? Shouda thrown it in there and let them hit it...walks are killers.

pfd103 · June 1st, 2007, 03:39 PM

Well, since the O's finally recovered from that terrible inning, and are back at .500, I thought i'd revive the thread.

One number that is just fantastic is that our Team ERA is now at 4.01 (4th in AL)

On a development note, I was a bit sad to see the new Hilton starting to block the clock tower from inside the stadium when I went to a few games last week...

On the side facing the stadium, there seems to be a large ramp. Anyone know what that's about?

PeterSmith · June 1st, 2007, 04:44 PM

I think now is a perfect time to revive this thread, pfd. Six in a row isn't a bad start to getting back on track. The AL East is still too far off the radar to get my hopes up yet, but we're on 3.5 games off the wildcard. Hopefully, we can avoid a post-All-Star break slide and give ourselves an exciting summer.

In other news, there was a good article in the Sun today about the dispute concerning the placing of "Baltimore" on the team's away jerseys. I can't find it online, but if you get a chance, pick up the paper version and give it a look. It really sums up well the Orioles's history under Angelos.

Yes, we are finally at .500. Cabrera pitches tonight and to be honest, I kind of have mixed thoughts about him. I think he's too wild on the mound. The mere thought of him going up against Vladimir Guerrero is a very freightning thought.

Cool pic Jamie!

And there goes the streak... sucks ! oh well , the important thing is that we are playing good baseball. something i didn't quite get was why Perlozzo put Huff in the line up when he was 0-18 against Lackey? a day off for him wouldn't have killed him.

Go O's ! lets get 3 out of 4 from the Angels !

micrip · June 2nd, 2007, 10:08 AM

Yes great effort of late...and what's better is that the O's are ahead of the Evil Empire in the standings..in June!! Mount Steinbrenner is bound to erupt soon!!

That's always fun, but I dunno. Yanks gave the Sawx a wicked spanking last night in Fenway. If the Olde Town teams loses again today, look for Red Sox Nation to start heading for the lifeboats.

the saddest note in all of MLB: that the incredible success of the Orioles didn't continue into the Camden Yards years. What America could really use is a real pennant race in a setting like Camden Yards and with all that Oriole tradition.

It is a shame that what was an iconic franchise had to wait till their new beautiful home to fly south in the standings. I sure would like to see that turned around.

I agree. I've only been to a few baseball stadiums (none in Chicago) and Camden Yards is without a doubt my favorite. I love how the stadium is incorporated so well into Downtown Baltimore that you really feel like your in the city. Most stadiums in multiple sports don't give you that feeling (this is one reason why I hate FedEx). My favorite part is the walk in the street near the Convention Center (I forget the name), and your on the same "as most of the services, and it is an unbroken walkway to the seats in the lower deck. It makes the stadium feel so much smaller and local, even when it's pretty big.

I was so upset about that game last night. I've never been a fan of intentionally walking a player.

In the 7th, Perlozzo had Cabrera intentionally walk Vladimir Guerrero to face Gary Matthews who was 0-3 on the night. And as expected, Gary burned us. My point is I don't care how much of a superstar Vladimir is. He should've never been given a free pass to first base. If I was Perlozzo in that situation, I would've said to Cabrera "You're a professional. Pitch to him! If you should happen to walk him, atleast make him earn it".

Not quite true...the O's were in the ALCS in both '96 and '97. If it hadn't been for Jeffrey Maier, who knows what would have happened in '96. And in '97 the team was never out of 1st place.

The franchise actually started an upswing after the Camden Yards move. From the mid '80's until the first Camden season in '92, it was a down period, including the '88 debacle when they lost 21 straight to start the season.
