School of Roch: Patton no longer pending
The Orioles accomplished nothing tonight except to reintroduce left-hander Troy Patton to the majors. Patton finally appeared in a game, his first since 2007 with the Houston Astros. He worked two-thirds of an inning after replacing David Hernandez in the seventh and gave up a hit and walk. He also struck out David Ortiz, who drove in four runs against starter Kevin Millwood.
Bergesen continues second-half turnaround | orioles.com: News
It's a testament to Bergesen's total turnaround given that his ERA was still at 6.63 entering August and has fallen nearly two runs (4.90) since. This Bergesen is markedly different from the tape Showalter saw earlier in the year, but the Orioles' skipper said he isn't shocked given Bergesen's past success.
The Wieters of our discontent | The Daily Times
I think the stats eventually will be there for Wieters. If you look at Twins catcher Joe Mauer (whom many people liken the Orioles backstop to), he didn't have a real break-out power season until his fifth year in the league and still only has only one season with more than 20 home runs.

Orioles owner Peter Angelos doesn't throw promised Martin O'Malley fundraiser - baltimoresun.com
"Peter Angelos was going to throw Martin O'Malley a $1,000-a-head fundraiser in his Camden Yards skybox during an Orioles- Red Sox game this month. It never happened." Was it because too many people wanted to attend and they moved to a bigger venue....OR was it because Peter Angelos threw a hissy fit over an unrelated state project and denied use of the box? You decide.
Steve Melewski: Minor leaguers get well-rounded education at Camden Yards camp
The O's were not able to have their normal instructional league for minor leaguers this year due to the field and stadium renovations going on in Sarasota. So they have brought 15 minor leaguers to Baltimore where, beginning this past Monday, they are getting daily individual and team work with drills, instruction and teaching from six coaches.

Happy Birthday anyways.

Ah, I actually have a rant about this
Yesterday was my birthday. I erased this information off of facebook long ago because I don’t people writing on my wall and flooding my email account. But apparently, this information was STILL showing up on (some) people’s feeds. Now just two days earlier, a caller on NPR asked why facebook keeps your information even after you delete your account. The co-founder of facebook, Chris Hughes, said that’s false, you have the option of permanently deleting your information. Ultimately, Hughes said facebook gives users complete control of content. That’s B.S. Facebook has obviously kept my birthday information and is (inadvertently) broadcasting it. Why type of control over my information is this?

Actually, I don't know.
But I want to be notified if somebody writes on my wall EXCEPT when it’s my birthday. Is there a way to opt of follow up emails when you post a comment on a status update?

Go under Account and click on 'Account Settings'
Then click on the heading for ‘Notifications’. This will allow you to control what notices FB sends you a separate email about.

Just a hypothesis...
It could have come from an application you use through FB. Go under Account, click on ‘Privacy Settings’. On the bottom left hand side, under ‘Applications and Websites’, click on the Edit Your Settings link. Then click on the Edit Settings button for ‘Info accessible through your friends’. Boxes which are checked is info of yours which applications have access to and could potentially share.

Yesterday was my birthday too.
:) I got about 70 emails but the notifications are now bundled into one big notification. That’s pretty nice.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
Was that the real Troy Patton?
Or just a convincing simulacrum because the truth was starting to get out?

I disagree with the reasons for not using a stall. I don’t touch anything when I’m peeing in a stall – I kick open the door with my foot and flush with my foot. No germs getting on my hands.
Same here
In fact, I just went to the bathroom to prove I could do this without touching anything.

I dont just mean bathroom doors though
School doors, my front doors, the door to other people’s houses. I feel its the best way to make an entrance, especially if its locked.
Better be careful now that you're a lawyer, though.

Also last night
Memlo hit a 3-run HR off of Rodrigo Lopez. It was bizarre to see that highlight on MLB Network. Even more bizarre because it took place in an MLB game in 2010. Oh, National League, you so crazy.

Oh come on, he may not have had a breakout power season until his fifth year, but he had an OPS+ of 144 his second full year.

Apparently "its my birthday" is not a good enough reason to not do work today
10 minutes after i got here my boss walked in said happy birthday, and then gave me a 28 page brief that needs to be cite-checked by the end of the day.

Yeah but it's always around the high holidays so I usually get some part of my birthday off.
Of course, there is a drawback. I once had to fast on my birthday because it was on Yom Kippur.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
My birthday's a federal holiday but schools never had the day off.
So it goes.

maybe you’ll get lucky. Or maybe you should work with dogs, and then it wouldn’t seem like work.
My goal is to get lucky and win one really big case
and then coast on the reputation of that case for the rest of my life during which at some point I will buy the Baltimore Orioles. Its a proven formula.

"If you tell me a starting pitcher went 15-10, the only thing I can tell you is that he appeared in 25 games that year." - Keith Law
I'll see that & raise you
Keep in mind that I’m dealing with COLLEGE freshmen at the campus library.
One walks up to the desk wanting me to make photocopies for her. Not to show her how to make double sided pages, or resize pages or change the toner or anything like that – but to stand there and actually push the button, lift the top of the machine, turn the page, push the button…
And when a phone call starts with, “My son told me you don’t have such & such a book in your collection, why not?…” I know no good can come of this.
If one of them walks up & asks me to wipe his… nose for him, I’m quitting.

Dude, the one's I'm dealing with are FOURTEEN years old.
That’s game, set and match right there.
"If you tell me a starting pitcher went 15-10, the only thing I can tell you is that he appeared in 25 games that year." - Keith Law
Objectively I suppose you're right
But it’s also a matter of perception. Things a single A manager would simply accept as “part of the job” are the same things that Buck has absolutely no reason to tolerate.

Javy Vazquez just hit 3 batters in a row. Rays lead 9-3.

The last of the three he hit
Was in the head.
And yet, the umpire didn’t eject him, and the Rays pitchers did not retaliate over the last two innings of the game.
How was Vazquez not ejected?
Would a pitcher for any other franchise who hit three batters in a row, the last one in the head, have survived?
Just askin’…

Like PBR said...
the umps were just feeling sorry for the Yankees due to the pain and suffering caused by Jeremy Guthrie so they went easy on Vasquez.
