I'll put as much effort into the recaps as the O's did the game last night: Orioles.comThe SunKansasCity.com.

O's fall by one run to KC (with Bergesen video) - MASNsports.com
Big Bad Brad Bergesen says he didn't have his best stuff tonight. That's good, because if that was his best stuff, we're in trouble. -duck

Time of press conference: 2 minutes, 10 seconds - MASNsports.com

"He's not a strikeout pitcher, he's a flyball pitcher, if you look at his splits," Dave Trembley said. "I don't know if that is your recipe for success if you're a closer."

Especially when your closer typically doesn't inherit runners, because, you know, he comes in at the beginning of the ninth inning. Can we please fire this man now? -duck

O's to make roster moves for Interleague Play | orioles.com: News
One of those 23 pitchers in the bullpen will be moved out before interleague play. Question becomes, what minor league bat is worth calling up right now? -duck

Orioles Insider: Where is Mike Costanzo these days?
