OPACY vs Fenway

OPACY vs Fenway
Looking out over Eutaw Street from the catwalk that connects Aramark to the Club Level of the ballpark this past weekend, I had to shake my head at the sheer smattering of red. "I can fly here, stay in a hotel and get better seats for the same price I can see at game at Fenway," one Red Sox fan told me. Does that make Oriole Park especially affordable or Fenway Park especially expensive? I'd say a little of both maybe. But as the Orioles faced the Red Sox for two straight weekends, I...

Steve Johnson scheduled to start Saturday at Fenway (Updated)

Steve Johnson scheduled to start Saturday at Fenway (Updated)
New Oriole Steve Johnson's first outing with the organization was a pretty quick turnaround with an unfortunately quick ending. Johnson didn't join the Baysox until the evening before his first start with the club--without wasting any time, he took the mound during his first full day with Bowie and pitched 4 ½ innings, all in the rain, before the grounds crew pulled out the tarp to end his outing. After a two-hour delay, Johnson wasn't able to finish what he'd started...

Plenty of promotions during the O's next homestand

Plenty of promotions during the O's next homestand
July was a quiet and lonely month around Camden Yards. If you'd have asked anyone who worked in the Warehouse, they would have told you it felt like "forever since the team has been home" at just about any point during those 31 days. The Orioles were in town for just nine days that entire month, with the All-Star break punctuating the absence of the team and the buzz that goes along with it when they're here in Baltimore. The O's schedule in August isn't quite as extreme, but somehow...

Fans enjoy Orioles Q&A's at the ESPN Zone
The ESPN Zone hosted another Orioles Q&A and autograph session today, this time welcoming O's young arm Brad Bergesen. Bergesen appeared to take the afternoon in stride, as his fellow young O's have done during various appearances this season.

So what keeps them coming back? They like...
