PrintIN THE PLAYOFFS
Only upstart Giants stand in way of Phils, history | MLB.com: News
"Say what you will about the boys in pinstripes over in the American League, but the Phillies enter the National League Championship Series on Saturday with some serious momentum and sky-high expectations, having dispatched the Reds in three games in the NL Division Series after closing out the regular season with a 27-8 kick."
Yankees, Rangers renew '90s playoff rivalry | MLB.com: News
"The Yankees defeated the Rangers in Division Series in 1996, 1998 and 1999, winning nine of 10 games in the process. As this 2010 AL Championship Series begins, it is obvious that the Rangers are a completely different club now, although the Yankees are still getting significant contributions from players who experienced those earlier victories, the "Core Four" -- Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada."
IN ORIOLES NEWS
Romine leads Desert Dogs to victory | MLB.com: News
The Phoenix Desert Dogs gave the Scorpions their first loss of the year, 5-1. Greg Miclat had a single and a double while Xavier Avery went 0-4 with a K. Kam Mickolio pitched one inning, giving up a hit and striking out two. - Stacey
First Annual Orioles Blogger Season Awards | Baltimore Sports Report

School of Roch: A little housekeeping (update on Ernie Tyler)
"Longtime umpires attendant Ernie Tyler remains hospitalized at the University of Maryland Medical Center after undergoing successful surgery on Oct. 6 to remove a benign brain tumor, but a team official tells me that doctors are pleased with his progress."
North Bend man reflects on playing on Orioles' 1970 title team - Fremont Tribune
"We didn't try to do anything differently in 1970 than we did the year before or in 1971 when we lost to the (Pittsburgh) Pirates in seven games." Eddie Watt may be a name you never heard of, but he pitched on the '70 O's World Series winner and the '69 and '71 AL champs.
Explore Howard: The Driver's Seat / O’s Scott shoots for big game, not homers, in offseason
"It was awesome. My cousin set up the trip. My brother shot an elk. I got a red stag," Scott said. He's also heading to Venezuela on a missions trip.
Orioles Insider: Get Fox, and Wolf goes free
"Righty reliever Ross Wolf, a former Orioles farmhand who was dealt to the Oakland A’s in June for infielder Jake Fox, has elected to become a free agent instead of accepting an outright assignment to Oakland’s Triple-A affiliate."
Matusz, Jones nominated for TYIB Awards | orioles.com: News
"For their efforts, Brian Matusz has been nominated in the X-Factor category in the 2010 MLB.com's This Year in Baseball Awards, and Adam Jones is one of the finalists for Oddity of the Year for his May 22 inside-the-park homer."
Steve Melewski: MacPhail's take on the Baseball America lists
"But still, at the end of the day, you'd like to have more than just those few. Part of it is also a function of some of our guys matriculating to the big leagues." If Andy MacPhail spins anymore, he could make butter just by holding a glass of milk.
Steve Melewski: One final thought: My take on the top prospects' lists
"To me it raises a red flag or two and is cause for concern, but certainly not wide spread panic. It doesn't mean everything the O's are doing is wrong or that they can't produce talent."
JUST BECAUSE...

But the guys over at Brew Crew Ball asked me to give them a scouting report on Juan Samuel as he’s interviewing for the manager position for the Brewers. I found it hard knowing what to say, honestly.

It does kind of disturb me that the players didn’t seem to play all that hard for him…or at least, they were on the their best behavior once Buck arrived. I don’t know if that’s a shot at the players, the manager, or potentially the situation (the interim label and all).

Os Minor Leaguers
BA’s Jim Callis continues to be critical of the Matt Hobgood pick. Hobgood was picked 5th overall, yet was not (deservedly so) in the top 20 players in his league. Unless Hobgood straightens out, the Os will have had three number 1 draft busts since 2005: Snyder, Rowell, and Hobgood. I realize that it is still way too early to tell regarding Hobgood, but his selection was a head scratcher. Snyder may make it to the majors, but he has not been able to hit well in AAA and does not project as a regular. Enough has been said about Rowell.
I look forward to James’s analysis of the more recent drafts.
I give the benefit of the doubt
And at least give a year or two to see how the pick looks (who knows, maybe they saw something nobody else did that’s actually there). Right now, it looks like a disastor. Whats the point in sucking if you cant even utilize the draft pick. Matzek looks like the guy we should have taken (i picked him because he was supposedly the BPA). Although he walked an insane number of batters.

Hobgood doesn't look like a disaster
But he doesn’t look like a 1st round guy. He looks like a good 4th or 5th round pick.

I see disaster if he can't turn into a player that's better than replacement level.
For example, if he turns into a good reliever, which is my guess for him, that’s disappointing but I wouldn’t see it as a disaster.

Meanwhile matzek had strong year in A ball. And Zack wheeler has been decent too.
I can understand the Snyder and Rowell picks. These guys were viewed as 1st rounders at the time and I suspect other teams would have taken those guys at our spots. But the Hobgood pick was a cheap skate move.

The only consolation from that draft was Ryan Berry
Part of the rational was that they could spend more later, so far that looks like a disaster too.
Hobgood, bad year
Ohlman, bad year
Coffee, bad year
Givens, hurt
Henry, bad year
Berry, good year

Last minute predictions
I’ve got (blargh) the Yankees in 6 – even though I’m all about the antlers – and the (blah) Phillies in 5. The playoffs are super boring when its a stupid rematch.

Phillies take WS in 6 against MFY

whenever they have a good hustle play
they give each other antlers.
Because they are all five years old.

I thought it was because Hamilton had a deer head in his locker.

We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom!
We come, we come with horn and drum: ta-runa runa runa rom!
To Isengard! Though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors of stone;
Though Isengard be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare as bone,
We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door;
For bole and bough are burning now, the furnace roars – we go to war!
To land of gloom with tramp of doom, with roll of drum, we come, we come;
To Isengard with doom we come!
With doom we come, with doom we come!

Oh…now that wasn’t nice….

Just read
the Melewski/MacPhail piece. Did he really say "we take a philosophic stance to not overhype our kids. "? Oh we do? And Matt Weiters isn’t one of our kids?
I suppose that’s true only on grounds that Matt Weiters sprung from the split skull of Zeus.
Has there ever been a cooler Oriole than Eddie Murray? I mean, just straight up cool. Like a bad, suave dude. You know what I'm sayin'. COOL. SC 7/24/08
To his credit, the O's themselves weren't hyping Matt
We, the blogsophere, and the Baltimore media (and national media) did. Of course, Andy did little to stop it, but he wasn’t the source of the hype.

If the answer isn't Cal Ripken Jr, then the poll is fatally flawed.

I'd be okay with Mark Belanger.

Eddie Watt
That’s a nice article on Eddie Watt. I remember the 1970 WS and how the fans got on Eddie’s back for blowing the save in Game 4. After the humiliation of ‘69, I think we wanted the sweep as revenge, and Watt “let it get away”. He was a fantastic closer in ’70 and afterwards, but many of the fans just didn’t let go of Game 4.

Was very good. It is hard to imagine how good the Os were during that period. The Os did not have any fill-ins anywhere in the lineup.
