While the Baltimore Orioles have guaranteed their spot in the postseason, their playoff roster continues to take shape. Baltimore received some good and bad news yesterday regarding two of their injured players; right fielder Nick Markakis and right-hander Jason Hammel. The Orioles announced that the pins in Markakis’ thumb won’t be removed for another week. The 28-year-old met with a hand specialist yesterday who confirmed the news and determined that the outfielder won’t be ready for another three weeks. When Markakis initially fractured his thumb, Baltimore knew his regular season was likely over. Still, the Orioles hoped to have their leadoff hitter back in the fold early in the playoffs. Now it appears that if Markakis is able to return at all it will be much later in the postseason. While Markakis has been ruled out for the start of the playoffs, right-hander Jason Hammel is now listed as a candidate to start a potential American League Division Series game Saturday....

Setting the Orioles' Playoff Rotation

Via Camden Crazies  |  October 01, 2012
Things are coming down to the wire, leaving Buck Showalter with some decisions to make as to how to utilize his pitching staff: The Orioles have clinched a play-off spot. Wow. That feels a little weird to write after the last 14 years (especially given expectations going into this season), but it's true. The team is guaranteed at least a Wild Card spot, and given the...

Chris Davis hits home run in sixth straight as Orioles win

Via Tireball.com  |  October 02, 2012
Chris Davis hit a homerun for the six straight game tying a Baltimore Oriole record. Davis now has hit seven home runs over that span to take over the team lead with 33 home runs. He also leads the Orioles with 85 RBI. The homer, off Tampa Bay Rays pitcher James Shields, was the Orioles first hit of Tuesday night’s game. The Orioles won the game 1-0. Earlier this week the Orioles...

Orioles rekindle city's love of baseball

Via Fox Sports  |  October 02, 2012
After the most eventful Sunday in recent Baltimore Orioles history -- an emergency landing in Jacksonville, Fla., followed by the mathematical clinching of their first postseason berth in 15 years -- star center fielder Adam Jones sought context. "I didn't know we were going to be as good as we were," Jones said, in a quiet moment at his locker Monday afternoon. "...

Let’s Go O’s! On to the playoffs!

Via B-More Birds Nest  |  October 01, 2012
The last time our Baltimore Orioles clinched a playoff berth I was 4 years old. This is new territory for myself as well as the generation that was “lost” in close to a decade and a half of consecutive losing seasons. But that’s all in the past now – we are losers no more, we are playoff starved no more. But this ride doesnt feel like its coming to an end anytime soon. We...

Orioles fans finally taste success

Via Fox Sports  |  October 01, 2012
Seconds after the Orioles clinched a postseason berth Sunday night, I stared at my phone, waiting for the inevitable. My brother-in-law, Brian, bombarding me with text messages and demanding that I fulfill a promise to apologize to him in print if the Orioles made the playoffs. "It should probably start with, 'My brother-in-law is a genius,'" Brian said. "...

Orioles hope to trade wild card for AL East flag

Via AP on Fox  |  October 01, 2012
It's been a zany, unpredictable season for the Baltimore Orioles, so perhaps it's only fitting that the magical moment when they clinched a playoff berth occurred while they were on a chartered flight forced to land short of its destination. Instead of spraying each other with champagne - the intended celebration earlier Sunday - the players exchanged handshakes. And that...

The Baltimore Orioles, Jim Thome Clinch a Playoff Birth

Via Philliedelphia  |  October 01, 2012
The Phillies have been eliminated from playoff contention and are fighting to finish the season with a winning record.  As the season winds down and I am realizing that I will have a lot more time on my hands than I have the last five years, one question remains:  Who will I root for this postseason?  To me, the choice is easy: Jim Thome and the Baltimore Orioles. When the...

Updated version of “Orioles Magic”

Via B-More Birds Nest  |  October 03, 2012
Some local Baltimore artists and fans decided it was time to update the Orioles Magic song. What do you think, Birds fans? I certainly enjoy the video, but I think I prefer the retro, silly, classic lyrics and song style. Here’s the old one to compare.

Rays' Hellickson to start against Orioles

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  October 03, 2012
The Baltimore Orioles have done just about all they can to stay in contention for the AL East title. Their efforts still may not be enough, but being home for the wild-card game isn't the worst consolation. With a division title still a possibility, the Orioles hope to win their regular-season finale Wednesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays and at least secure home-field...

Game 161: Orioles 1, Rays 0

Via Camden Crazies  |  October 03, 2012
With wins by the Yankees and A's yesterday, the Orioles came into this game looking more like they'd need to go on the road for the Wild Card game. Some people were happy about Oakland's win, since it knocked the Rays out of the playoff picture - perhaps making them less motivated and allowing the O's a better chance to win (I think that was silly, and was cheering...

Orioles win, clinch playoff berth

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 30, 2012
BALTIMORE -- Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he's challenged his team to always stay together. They've done that throughout the season and did so once more in an interesting way Sunday afternoon. Moments after the Orioles defeated Boston 6-3 the team came out on to the field at Camden Yards to watch the ninth inning of the Los Angeles-Texas game on the big video board...

For those of you who forgot, NFL legend Deion Sanders played Major League Baseball with the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds. Last week, "Neon Deion" got the chance to take some batting practice with the Baltimore Orioles since Orioles manager Buck Showalter coached Deion when he was in the minor leagues with the Yankees. Check out some of the photos that Deion...
