PrintHappy first day of Spring! I've never been so happy to put a winter behind me.
Matusz and three others one-hit the NL Champion Phillies - ESPN.com
"You don't ever want to get no-hit, seriously," said Manuel, who had six All-Stars in his starting lineup. "I don't care where it's at, spring training or wherever. You don't ever want someone to get a no-hitter against you." -zk
Uehara still sore, will take it slow - baltimoresun.com
Seriously, is it that difficult to adequately take care of your hamstring after it sidelined you for 6 months? -zk
Roberts resumes on-field activities
Yesterday, B-Rob got back out on the field, although he's not in the lineup yet. Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail said that there had been "some improvement" after Roberts underwent an epidural injection in Baltimore on Monday.-zk
Gonzalez happy with pain-free outing | orioles.com: News
Well, that's one back that seems to be healed. -zk
Orioles option Perez to Bowie - baltimoresun.com
Left-hander Wilfrido Perez was optioned to Double-A Bowie yesterday. Perez did not allow a hit or a run in 3 1/3 innings this spring, and also struck out four batters in four appearances. -zk
Baltimore Orioles' Nick Markakis disappointed fantasy owners in 2009 season, and there's no sign of a bounce-back coming - ESPN
Some fantasy stats yokel at ESPN thinks Markakis has peaked at the age of 26. -zk
Blah blah blah Angels blah blah blah - latimes.com
Buried at the end of this article about the Angels is the following factoid: They have the second lowest batting average of all American League teams this spring. The lowest average, of course, belongs to the Orioles. -zk

We're always forgetting about Alfredo Simon...

So this may seem stupid, but...
Aren’t interleague games supposed to be against your local rival (Washington) and then 1 division? I thought thats how it went, but this year we play SF and SD (NL West), Was (“rival”), and NYM (???). Did this just change or has it been this way for a while? I’m not complaining about getting to play the Mets (as long as we dont see Santana) but what’s going on?
it usually rotates on the division you play
but yea…i thought we would always play games against was, atl, and/or philly. i never really understood how that worked tho.

Thats what I thought
It used to be Philly as our local “rival”, but now that Washington is there they become our “rival”. I thought the diviions rotated. That would make sense with us playing NL West this year, but then what is up with the Mets?
i was under the understanding that every 3 years they rotated. At least that’s how interleague play started out. Now I’m not sure what they are doing. This must be the year we play the NL West. If the Major leagues would ever settle the DH issue there might be room for better schedules. they could schedule 20 games against each division opponent and the other 82 games could be split up amongst the rest of the teams. In other words, the O’s would play every other team in the Majors at least 2 or 3 times.

Just got my season tix in the mail.
They’ve got a picture of Adam Jones on all of them.
In one game as a freshman at Miami, Wieters hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth to put the Yellow Jackets ahead, then pitched the bottom of the ninth for the save. On that day, the God nickname was bestowed. - Sports Illustrated

I got mine earlier this week. Can't tell you who the player is though, I forgot already.
Last year, I got Nick Markakis. I want to say my tickets are Adam Jones this year…
I also already got my Opening Day tickets, and I am sorry to say that the tickets are ORANGE this year. A nasty orange that will turn a pinkish color with age. I liked last year’s tickets better.

Well the bricks are orange. The mortar is pink.
In two years when there is fading going on, if you’re one who saves their tickets, they’ll turn pink.

When did they print those?
It was probably closer to the new year, and they still had the old template. My orange tickets were printed last week. There is no “standard” ; it changes a little bit every year. I liked 2008 more than 2009, and if I’m right about the tickets being orange/pink this year, that’ll make a two year downward trend.

season tickets
i didn’t renew this which was stupid because ill probaly still end up going to 40 or so games this yr
Bah.
So most of our 25-man guys are playing the Pirates, which isn’t televised, while the televised game against the Red Sox features mostly minor leaguers (plus Tillman, Andino, and Atkins).
Weaver's Fourth Law: Your most precious possessions on offense are your twenty-seven outs.
heh

You think MSU is still mad about not making the tourney? ;)

phew
i originally bet on UNC to be inside the spread. MSU def should have made it, but I guess its confusing with all of the automatic bids.
by twistedlogic on Mar 20, 2010 12:24 PM EDT up reply actions
and as soon as i say that
UNC is now leading.

i've got a little jinx going
i said houston sucks at free throws, and they made their next four. I said yesterday that Siena had a chance to cover the spread, and then they blew it. I’m going to keep all of my thoughts to myself today.
