Wieters exits Friday's game with injury | orioles.com: News

Orioles Insider: Pie hurt, leaves too (Wieters and Pie update)
Felix Pie is expected to be evaluated today for his availability for tonight's game. Josh Bell, you might want to unpack. -duck

Seattle sends All-Star lefty Cliff Lee to Texas Rangers for Justin Smoak, 3 prospects - baltimoresun.com

Orioles Insider: Cliff Lee, Texas Ranger, meet the Orioles
What does the Cliff Lee trade to the Rangers mean for the Orioles? Guess who starts for Texas today. -duck

Opposites in Arlington - 2131 And Beyond
It was a night of extreme contrasts Friday. I mean, Matt Albers has to bail out Brian Matusz? What's up with that? -duck

The fact that we've at least split a team that has a good chance at the World Series is pretty refreshing.

It won’t be refreshing however, if that split costs us Rendon.

Sure it will.

Because it tells our young players we’re not quitting on baseball games even if we’re losing by four runs going into the 9th inning. I think that has value that goes beyond racking up a #1 overall draft selection.

F Rendon

These kids need to win. Of course, I don’t count a night where Wieters and Pie get hurt and Matusz gets knocked around to be much of a win.

Oh and now we’re warming up Uehara. He’ll die. He will actually DIE if he pitches in this heat. -KenDixonFanClub

I don't even know what happened yet.

I’m about to go investigate. I was at a party last night and after drinking for about, seven hours, I somehow heard Pie had been hurt, but instead of investigating it myself I just sent a panicked email to James F at 3:30 a.m. When I woke up this morning I realized I could have just pulled up Baltimore Sun or something.

Necause the all-star game is Anahiem, home of Disneyland.

They have Mickey statues of all MLB teams throughout Anahiem, and a few in LA. This the O’s version.

That's amazing.

I get the anger over not having any of your phone calls returned & being jilted on national TV… but Gilbert is acting like a psycho ex-girlfriend. If I see a story about him keying LeBron’s car I will not be shocked in the slightest.

He’s actually making LeBron’s self-lovefest look rational. That’s quite a feat.

When we played the Nats the first time this year....

She was explaining to us common folk on the radio that it’s called the “Beltway Series” cause both Baltimore AND DC have Beltways!!!

NO WAY!

Royale? With cheese?

Y’know, cuz’ of the metric system.

Her report via cell phone on the Scott Garceau show is annoying as hell. They “ask” her questions that have clearly been rehearsed which prompt her to read off a sheet she’s prepared for the spot. There’s very little spontaneous conversation, just a chick on a cell phone reading notes. Why bother?
