Every year, fans hope for the best with the Baltimore Orioles. For the last fourteen years, they have finished below .500 and well out of playoff contention. More than likely, the Orioles will have a fifteenth consecutive losing season. With that being said, a lot of fans are frustrated by the poor record of Baltimore’s baseball team and frankly want a new owner. Yesterday, 106.7 the Fan, a radio station in Washington, reported that the Orioles are ‘quietly discussing a sale’, according to the Baltimore Sun. The Baltimore Sports Report has more on the rumor (a tip of the cap to them), as I read it first on their site yesterday. However, later on that day, the Orioles refuted news of a potential sale.>>> Read More

February 15, 2012
The Yankees have officially lost one of the biggest surprises in last year’s bullpen when the Orioles signed Luis Ayala to a one-year $925K deal, according to Dan Connoelly of the Baltimore Sun.
It’s hard to imagine Ayala replicating his 2.09 ERA from last season, but the Yankees bullpen is full anyway and there was no room for him. Hopefully the fact that he’s...

Vladimir Guerrero will go down as one of the most feared hitters and dynamic offensive threats of our generation. Even after his days of flirting with the 40-40 plateau came to an end in Montreal, Vladimir Guerrero was more than capable of carrying a lineup. The toughest thing about facing him was that he was nearly impossible to pitch to. He didn’t strike out, he didn...

Spring Training opens up in Sarasota on Saturday, and I would not say that I’m terribly excited at the team’s prospects right now.
