So, that battle for fourth place in the AL East this year with the Blue Jays? Yeah, not so much. -duck
Baltimore Orioles reliever Will Ohman's scoreless streak ends - baltimoresun.com
"I wasn't going Roger Maris and having hair fall out or anything," said Ohman, who had gone 15 2/3 innings without giving up a run. "It was nice while it lasted." At least he doesn't suck. -duck

Apparently, Will Ohman is our de facto closer. Not that we'd know, since this team hasn't had a close lead in the 9th inning in seemingly a month. -duck
Memorial Day for Trembley?
So, the question is asked, is today the day Dave Trembley gets fired? My bet is no, if he's fired within the next month, it will be after the road trip to New York. No way you fire a manager before you go there. -duck
Orioles Insider: Because I know you'll ask
Jeff Zrebiec of The Sun also thinks today isn't the day Dave Trembley is relieved of his duties.-duck

Is anyone else
super annoyed by Dave Johnson? Everything from his voice to the opinions he espouses. I’m just kind of sick of hearing him on the post-game show.
"Real Orioles don't pout. Real Orioles don't gloat. Real Orioles just win."
Actually, I'm president of his fan club
Well, if he had one. Love that guy. One of the few on the broadcast team that will call the team out. He almost had a stroke after MDM a few years back, and that sealed my fandom.

I'll give you that...
he just made some comments about DT not being able to affect the on-field fundamentals during the game. I agree with that during the game, but didn’t DT come in here saying he was going to stress the basics and the fundamentals? So far, this team had has not done any of the ‘fundamentals’ well.
You’re right, he DOES call out the team a decent amount. I guess it’s his voice and the flippant way he speaks. Just annoys me.

his voice bothers me too
I also think he’s just bad at speaking.
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
does anybody know what the rockies record last year was before firing clint hurdle?

Wow....maybe DT studies Jerryball....
“Left-handed pitchers must always pitch to left-handed batters, even when the left hander has extreme reverse splits over a career spanning a decade plus. You must not EVER allow a like-handed matchup ever, even if it means that all of your relievers approach record appearances.”

I don't think all of them apply to DD, but...
On Roster Management
-Veteran presence counts just as much as on-the-field results. It is imperative that every team have a veteran on the roster, whose designated role is to be the veteran on the roster.
Wow. That’s Dave to a T.

Wow, they just get better.....
On Line-Up Construction
-The second baseman must bat second. Likewise, the first baseman must always bat fourth.

Jeff Z's response to some of those comments are interesting.
It looks like he’s basically saying they’ve decided that Trembley will inevitably be fired so he feels like they should just get it over with. Probably means he’s gone after the Yankees series, but who the hell knows at this point.
I'm ready for a straight jacket. - Joe Angel, 4/17/10 (O's record: 1-11)

Good grief, this was obvious three weeks into the season. It took them this long to figure it out.
I came to camdenchat and all I got was this lousy avatar.
if it is inevitable
then they need to get it over with already so maybe we can start playing some baseball
I don’t have much tolerance for stupid. Or cheese on food that doesn’t need it. -duck
we said that before the last yankees series
and look what happened. i don’t know what i want more, a loss in the series to get him outta there or a win in the series to halt the skid.
