PrintRecaps of yesterday's action can be found at The Sun, MASN, Orioles.com (Game 1), and Orioles.com (Game 2).
Jim Johnson placed on DL - MASNsports.com
Jim Johnson goes on the DL with elbow inflammation and Dennis Sarfate gets activated off the disabled list. So did catcher Michael Hernandez. -duck
Trembley moves Jones out of leadoff spot - baltimoresun.com
Dave Trembley finally ended the "Adam Jones, lead-off hitter" experiment last night. Adam's having a tough, tough start to the season. -duck
Carroll County Times: No worries about winless duo
Jeremy Guthrie did get his first win yesterday, so the headline in today's story is dated, but the CC Times says it ain't the pitching that's the O's problem. -duck
Maggio: Long day at Target Field
"8:52 a.m. – Only Orioles MLB.com writer Brittany Ghiroli and FOX Sports North personality/Star Tribune columnist Jim Souhan are in the press box." So you want to be a MLB writer, do you? -duck
Peter Schmuck: MacPhail remains bullish on rebuild - baltimoresun.com
Andy MacPhail is still convinced The Plan is coming together. He almost has to be, doesn't he? -duck
Durango Herald News: 'The Oriole Way' has lost its bearings
It's AP article a few days old, but I never managed to clip. David Ginsburg reflects upon the fact Baltimore used to be a unwelcome destination for opposing teams, now it's treated like a vacation stop where you pick up a few wins in the gift store while staying. -duck
IN THE MINORS: Norfolk lost 10-3 despite Corey Patterson going 3-for-4 with 3 doubles, Bowie lost 4-3 as Tim Bascom went 6.0 IP, gave up 2 runs and had 8 K's against 0 walks, Frederick lost 2-1 as the Keys managed just 2 hits on the night while Cole McCurry gave up just 2 runs (1 earned) in 6.0 IP with 5 K's and 0 BBs, and Delmarva won 4-2 without help from Garabez Rosa, who went 3-for-4 for the Shorebirds, yet didn't have an RBI or a run scored. No one else on the team had more than one hit. That's odd. Jesse Beal pitched 7.0 innings and gave up 2 ER on 5 hits and 2 BBs with 4 K's.

Does anyone know who'll be using the pink bats today?
Everyone thought Baltimore was three easy wins and we got our ass kicked three times. - Dustin Pedoria, After the Red Sox got swept by the Orioles.

That is just one reason to watch the game.
I can’t remember who did it last year.
Also. this year’s Fourth of July weekend will feature white hats, with colored brims, and the “Spangled” logos that we’ve seen the last two years.

Yeah. I always heard
That the song that gets stuck in your head is the one you’ve heard the most recently. And to get rid of it, listen to the song, and then listen to a new one.

The sample sizes are quite small
But I must admit, I find the Orioles minors a bit disconcerting. Way too many guys having disappointing starts, especially Erbe, Snyder and Joseph.

Still not a big fan,
but that’s a huge improvement.

Still ugly as sin
I guess it’s better. At least I dont have to see a red cap clash horribly with the orange on the jerseys. That was an ugly perfect storm.

Dallas Braden has retired 24 straight batters going inot the 9th, and has a kinda significant thing going for him.
If you know what I mean.

Dallas Braden just threw a perfect game.
You think he’s still pissed off at A-Rod? :)

Poor Rays
They got perfect game’d last year too.

i wouldn't mind getting perfect game'd
if my record was 22-9
Awesome, Dallas Braden is a bad ass motherfucker.

On ESPN classic
They’re showing the Mother’s Day Massacre from 2007. Assholes.

I almost made it through today without remembering that fuckfest.

From the A's beat writer's twitter feed.
Dallas Braden’s grandmother is here and speaking to the press. She says, and I’m not joking, “Stick it, A-Rod.” #Athletics

This is one of those made-for-movie stories
the kid’s mom died of cancer when he was in HS. His grandmother has taken care of him ever since. Now, with his grandmother in attendance, on mother’s day (a day when MLB preaches breast cancer awareness) he pitches a perfect game. It almost seems scripted, except something like that happening in a movie would be so over the top it wouldn’t be believeable.
The grandmother saying that about A-Rod is just the little bit of comic relief the story needed.
"You accept mediocrity and you get mediocrity." - Adam Jones, Son!
who would play Dallas Braden and A-Roid?
Betty White for the grandmother.
I came to camdenchat and all I got was this lousy avatar.
Is there any other choice for the grandmother?
I think not.

Sam Worthington and Samuel L Jackson
Those guys are in everything.
