"Pawn Stars" Meets Baseball?

Found January 13, 2012 on Hall of Very Good: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jim Brown,  Pete Rose,  Nick Markakis
TEAMS: Baltimore Orioles

It looks like reality TV is setting up shop in Baltimore..."Ball Boys" debuts on ABC in a couple of months.Unfortunately, it doesn't focus on The Hall's favorite Charm City resident...Timmy Anderson.Apparently, "Ball Boys" is the next in a long line of "Pawn Stars" rip offs, but, this time (according to the Washington Post) it's not a pawn shop...it's a sports memorabilia shop called Robbie's First Base. Each week, we’ll see staffers Robbie Sr. and Jr. — along with sidekicks Sweet Lou and Shaggy — as they negotiate, buy and sell various sports merchandise, both at the store and other locations. Plus, appearances from athletes such as Jim Brown and Pete Rose, who visit for some banter and “smack talk.” And look for a Baltimore Orioles shout-out in the first episode — a customer is convinced that a baseball caught over right fielder Nick Markakis’s glove is worth lots of money, though Robbie Sr. has different ideas. But why w...

2011 Orioles Retrospective: Jake Arrieta

Via Camden Crazies  |  January 12, 2012
Jake Arrieta started out the year doing pretty well, despite having a high ERA. He was throwing more strikes and missing more bats, which is always nice to see. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to stay healthy all year, as an elbow injury led to surgery and Arrieta missed the last two months of the season. It's possible that the bone spur in his throwing elbow had negative...

Baltimore Signs Taiwanese Left-Hander Chen The Baltimore Orioles signed Taiwanese left-hander Wei-Yin Chen to a three-year, $11.3 million deal on Tuesday, reports a large portion of the internet.

Should the Orioles Take a Chance on Manny Ramirez? If He Can Hit, Why Not…

Via Oriole Post  |  January 13, 2012
Ok, I am a little late on this topic; however, as we all know, the organization took a look at Manny Ramirez last week during a workout in Florida. We all know Ramirez’s sordid history in the game and his drug issues. He’s obviously not been an upstanding citizen in the game and frankly has bastardized his profession. Ramirez spoke to ESPN this week about a possible comeback...

Pressing Questions: The Baltimore Orioles

Via Roto Arcade  |  January 12, 2012
When we last left Buck Showalter and the battling Baltimore Orioles, they were celebrating and partying on the field like it was 1979. Showalter's pesky crew went 5-1 against the Red Sox in the late stages of September, playing the spoiler role perfectly. The way the club reacted to its dramatic victory on that fateful final Wednesday, you'd have though the Orioles just won...

Adam Jones Talks Extension

Via MLB Trade Rumors  |  January 13, 2012
Orioles center fielder Adam Jones has appeared in more than his share of trade rumors this offseason, but there’s a chance he’ll stay in Baltimore long-term. Jones told WBAL 1090 in Baltimore this week that he’s not ruling out an extension should the Orioles pursue one with him. “That has not been presented,” he said. “It’s kind of like looking into the future, which...

Slow Winter

Via Baseball Musings  |  January 13, 2012
The news this winter is so slow, people post that Adam Jones trade rumors are intensifying. Jones, as the Orioles are finding out, is a tough player to trade. He’s a young centerfielder who doesn’t play the position well. His strength as a hitter comes from his batting average and power, but he comes at a high cost in outs as his OBP is less than outstanding. If he...
