Orioles have hit bottom, maybe | Philadelphia Inquirer
"To me, it's all about staying the course and making these guys believe in what you're trying to do," Samuel said before his team went out and blew a two-run lead in a 4-2 loss to the Yankees." Yes, because doing what we've been doing is certainly the road to success. -duck
Starting pitcher Kevin Millwood is solid just not a winner yet - baltimoresun.com
"Kevin Millwood doesn't deserve to be 0-7, but try getting him to complain about his tough luck and crappy run support." No, I won't try, Peter. I just won't. And you can't make me. -duck
Sports Comment: Orioles' climb going to take lot longer - www.HometownAnnapolis.com
The Orioles are 17-45 record and 23 games behind Tampa Bay in the American League East. So how could a career Major League Baseball executive as astute as MacPhail so badly gauge the talent level? -zk

Finney: Trembley wasn't the Orioles' problem | delawareonline.com | The News Journal
Some idiot in Delaware says that it's a shame that Trembley was fired, because he "always dreamed of managing in the major leagues". So now, this guy says, the Orioles should hire Rick Dempsey. Excuse me while I vomit. -zk

Crowley for manager. As Lenin had it, the worse, the better. Oh, and this just in: Algeria's keeper tries to make 'em forget Robert Green.
Seriously. I’m beginning to think all the (usual) quadrennial bushwah about how “the ball is different!” may actually have something to it this time. I mean, this goal was really awful. Amber coulda made this save. Or her spaniel Trixie. Voodoo or something?

I don't hate it....
It’s true to the team colors so that’s a plus. Can’t say that I love it though either.

What to make of it? Small pillow case, maybe. Oh, wait: O's cap for a pumpkin!

this team makes me sad
I imagine it makes any starting pitcher sad too.
It certainly doesn't make any opposing starting pitcher sad
I’d imagine the opposition is quite thrilled at the prospect of facing this lineup.

I just want to say

All the prospects are together?
What abouts Britton, Bell and Snyder? Or given the latter two’s slow starts in Norfolk, is the luster not on them any more?
I have generally supported MacPhail’s tactics thus far (good: bedard, tejada, sherrill, pie deals, bad: signing both atkins and tejada, not dealing roberts). Is my support unwarranted?
Librarians are hiding something
Bell has adjusted pretty well
Snyder there is more reason for concern about.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Arrieta was considered to be the last member of the class (for lack of a better term)
that included Arrieta, Tillman, Wieters, etc. The article acknowledges all the prospects you mentioned, but just didn’t consider them to be in the same wave of prospects.
He has to make sure that the next waves of prospects develop into players who can help the Orioles.
Third baseman Josh Bell, first baseman Brandon Snyder and pitchers Zach Britton, Troy Patton and Tim Bascom could headline that group. And Class A position players Xavier Avery and L.J. Hoes might not be more than a year or two behind.
Its not that theyre considered lesser prospects; they just dont fit in with the prospects that have reached the majors chronologically.
Wieters walk up music
Did he change it this year? Why go away from Hells Bells if he did?
You missed The Curse of Nickelback???
When you watch the Orioles every night, a beer after dinner turns into a six pack WAY too many times. Stacey

I'm excited for 5 PM
Ya see, NPR is having Jack Johnson on all things considered. He’s my favorite musician…in fact, I’m seeing him in concert on July 17th. I screamed really loud when the announcement about NPR showed up on my news feed (facebook, for those who don’t know).
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
