They have now lost 13 out of their last 15 games. 11 games out. Dead last in the standings. Amazingly, I still want to watch and follow them. Catching a little Bird Fever. Yesterday, Sunday, I get in my car and turn on the radio to hear the O's scored 3 runs in the first. Great! I get to 695 and hear that Harvey is taking the mound. From 695 to Rt29...about 5 minutes...the Nats score 3 runs....from there to Columbia they add another. 4-3 at the end of the 1st. I saw a long day coming yet I watched the game when I got back home. I'm starting to get what the Orioles are trying to do and where there are at this point in their rebuild.

MLB Power Rankings Let's have a moment of silence to remember this. The O's will rise up this ladder and we'll be able to look back and say "I remember when...."....

Sundays win over the Yankees was fun to watch. Even when the Yankees went up 4-0 in the first, I had a feeling the O's would come back. The bats and bull pen won the game. Really needed the great performance by Zimmerman to do it.

Means throws 6 scoreless innings and the O's go 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position. Loss! 3-2.

Well...Boston blew the Orioles up.

Here's the history of Orioles no hitters... Orioles no-hitter history (mlb.com)

Something special is forming. Hays and Means are electric, Means has entered a new level, Mancini.....so much to build around. Club is giving us hope. I'm really liking Hyde.

John " BY All" Means just threw a 9 inning no hit shut out! 113 pitchers, great command, ton of 1st pitch strikes, ...really...a thing of beauty. 1st time for an Oriole in 52 years since Jim Palmer. By the 7th I was on the edge of my seat. Shit...it's rare for a pitcher to go 9 innings in today's baseball. O's beat the Mariners 6-0.

Saturdays 8-3 win was a nice detox from the draft. I was worrying a little bit in the 7th. Tate really pitched good in relief. Stewart running into that roof was scary as shit. I thought he broke his neck or knocked some teeth out. He's one tough dude.

How about that! That bats woke up. Hitters were patient. Means pitched great. The O's should keep him. Eventually they will have to keep good players or it becomes a 10 year rebuild.

Yea...the pitching too. At least Hyde sees and points out what is wrong with the offense. I thought they were swinging at anything so pitchers kept throwing junk....which they swung at.

3-1 loss to the Mariners. I watched the game. The Orioles have little discipline at the plate. They will swing at anything. The Mariners won't. Make the pitchers pitch. Camden Yards looked nice....very inviting.

Gibson couldn't throw a strike if his life depended on it. Yet, the Orioles swung away...at junk and got shut out.

OK...2nd place at 7-8. On pace to win 76 games. Going for the sweep of the Rangers today at 2:35.

They have that square over the plate and that confuses me more about balls and strikes. The umpires are not consistent....more confusion. Announcers calling games from home....more confusion for a confused and disturbed mind. I don't get it.

They only gave up 6 home runs yesterday. I wonder if they know how to pitch in Camden Yards. O's are #26 in the Power Rankings after a rough series... The Yankees are #6 and Red Sox #16. Up next: 4 game series with the Mariners. #25 on this list. "Let's see what happens."

Yea...this is a low budget telecast....Palmer hasn't even shaved. Final 7-3. I can't sit for 3 hours and watch this on TV without having other things to do. I might go to radio on work on stuff.

Melanie is having issues with her right eye lash. Where's the makperson? Must be a liw budget operation.

Baseball allows for multi tasking. I just finished reading the Constitution...serious. If this was football then I'd still be on the first paragraph. Oriole pitching is breaking down. Here we go....

Looks like Harvey and Fry are losing it in the 6th. 4- Sox up...1 out...Montcastle doesn't look good fielding...Fry gone...here we go!

More Yard! Serverino.....3-2 O's. Harvey's hanging in there...4th inning. Hyde's not...he got pissed on a questionable call and was thrown out. Hellova diving catch by Mullins....he was flying to get to the ball. Great speed, acceleration and glove.

Yardwork! Montcastle. 2-2 tie.

yea... O's first win in Yankee stadium since Roosevelt. It took 11 innings...and the bullpen didn't cave. 3:05 start today for their home opener. Harvey gets the start. If you plan on going to any games then here's some tips:

Nice! He's got to be from good stock. That's all we have this side of town... One more game against the Yankees today and then.... ..opening day at Camden Yards on Thursday afternoon...3:05 start I think. Got my 2nd Phizer shot today and I am itching to get out. Next Sunday and Thursday there are 1:05 starts against the red Sox and then the Mariners.It's tempting. I hear you can't bring food in and you have to go through a maze of moves to purchase food there. Can't they just swipe my card?
