Still no official word on Dave Trembley, but the writing is on the wall. Since Buster Olney reported yesterday that Trembley would be fired, it's been reported almost everywhere (even Dave's hometown newspaper, poor guy), and Jeff Zrebiec wrote last night that Andy MacPhail was at the warehouse until 10 p.m. If they're going to make a move before the game tonight, the announcement will come soon.
In other news, the Orioles lost their 8th consecutive game yesterday. Recaps of the 6-3 loss can be found at orioles.com, the Baltimore Sun, and Bergen Record.
