Aramark appears to be out at Oriole Park

Aramark appears to be out at Oriole Park
Aramark has served as the Orioles' food vendor since Camden Yards opened in 1992, and they've popped up in the news and here in the Orioles Buzz a handful of times in the last year or two. But heading into the 2011 season, the Orioles have decided to part ways with their long-time concessions vendor. It wasn't that long ago that the O's announced the arrival of a new head chef and a slew of new menu items (Opening Day 2009), as well as the addition of food and beverage items from local...

Keep the O's spirit alive in October

Keep the O's spirit alive in October
One day the O's spirit will be alive in October during a playoff run that will have Baltimore buzzing.

So if your O's enthusiasm is still running high and you're looking to ease the cold turkey feeling that comes with the end of the season, spice up your fall decorations with an Orioles carved pumpkin.

When the team departs, so does a certain energy from the Warehouse, and the overcast feeling of winter days without baseball...

Friday's adjusted schedule (not to mention Guthrie's next start) simply won't allow us to complete the chats as scheduled, and with the end of the season rapidly...
