Beer nuts: Feast on these Phillies holiday helpings
We're talking Danys Baez, decade-ending lists and the Halladay deal. One of our readers reminds us of the large contract Baez signed in November of 2006, a whopping three-year, $19 million albatross back when baseball was living high on the hog during the economic boom years. That was a noteworthy offseason for Baltimore. In a span of 10 days, they signed Baez for $19 million...

Braves Rule 5 Preview
Crafty lefty Edgar Osuna could intrigue a team as a LOOGY or a back of the rotation starter. View full size photo » The Rule 5 Draft has really never helped nor hindered the Braves. They rarely select a player, unless they clear a spot on their 40 man roster before the draft they won't be able to select anyone this year, and the few players they do select tend to get...

Orioles - Released Walker
Baltimore Orioles - Released P Jamie Walker; recalled P Alberto Castillo
One notable characteristic of the Thrift and Beat Again regimes in Baltimore is that as poorly as they ran the team, there were very few monumentally bad signings. Instead, they specialized in flooding the Orioles with completely pointless signings, Jamie Walker's 3-year, $12 million contract before the...

Lefty reliever Jamie Walker will be released from the Baltimore Orioles at some point today. In turn, Alberto Castillo will be called up from Triple-A Norfolk. Obviously, this is not a surprise as most saw this coming. Much like I said a few days ago, I have had the chance the chat with Walker on a few opportunities -- he's a great guy, and one who cares about the military as...

Orioles To Release Jamie Walker
Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles will release lefty reliever Jamie Walker. Baltimore still owes Walker about $3MM, but they were no longer satisfied with his production. To replace Walker, they called up Alberto Castillo, another lefty who pitched for the O's last year and has performed well at Triple A Norfolk so far in 2009. Zrebiec writes that the...

O's Lose Late in Seattle; Jamie Walker To Be Sent on His Way?
Rookie pitcher Brad Bergesen pitched another great game; however, in the end, the Oriole bullpen could not hold a 2-2 tie heading into the ninth inning, and lost to the Seattle Mariners, 3-2. The Orioles have now lost four out of five games, and Seattle has taken the series -- winning two out of three. Jim Johnson took the loss as he pitched a scoreless eighth inning, but ran into...

O's Lose to the Evil Empire, Something Wrong With Guthrie?
What started off as a competitive game turned into a real ugly night late as the Orioles dropped their second game to the Yankees in their three game set, 11-4. The game displayed lots of power -- six home runs, three by each team -- however, the game was blown wide open as the Yankees jumped all over relievers Danys Baez and Jamie Walker in a six-run eighth inning. One has to wonder...

Opening Day is next week and while everyone in Birdland is wondering about the pitching, I am happy to see baseball back.

Well, I am back home after a day at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, and what a splendid one it was not only for a ball game, but the final day game at the Stadium.
Although most Oriole fans detest Yankee fans who come to Yard and take over, yesterday, they were for the most part very hospitable and friendly -- in a New York kind of way.
The good thing about yesterday was seeing...
