A Baker's Dozen

A Baker's Dozen
Including this weekend's series against the Texas Rangers, the Orioles have a mere 13 home games left in 2009. It's usually about this time each year that I realize there really aren't that many more chances to catch a game at the Yard before a long winter without the O's. So what's left in the line-up of home games to look forward to? Plenty. For starters, don't forget about the $1 MASN Maximum Access Tickets available for every non-prime home game from now until the end of the...

Same deal - Matusz is the real deal

Same deal - Matusz is the real deal
You've heard it a hundred times and from every beat writer or media outlet that covers the Orioles: Brian Matusz is the real deal. And the reason you've heard it a hundred times: Spend 10 minutes with the young left-hander and you're blown away by Matusz's poise, confidence, and ease in a situation most 22-year-olds (hey, most anyone) wouldn't find as effortless as Matusz. The rookie looked out over the crowd, giving fans self-assured eye contact, as he fielded questions at today's...

"Vote 4 Nolan"

"Vote 4 Nolan"
Though the Baseball Writers are the ones who will eventually decide who wins Rookie of the Year honors this season, you can still show your support for O's Rookie of the Year hopeful Nolan Reimold. Check out these shirts designed in honor of the young Oriole who came up to the bigs as a pleasantly productive and consistent rookie this year. Reimold was batting .279 with 15 home runs and 45 RBI in 104 games this season before the Orioles were finally forced to place him on the 15-day...

Pick your own promotion

Pick your own promotion
The Orioles have released their 2010 schedule, but you might have noticed the absence of the familiar little white boxes with asterisks in them, which signify a promotion at Oriole Park during that day's game. So while the schedule might be out, next year's promotions are far from set in stone. The Orioles featured some pretty good promos this year. Remember the... -Six T-Shirt Tuesdays (Koji Uehara, Aubrey Huff, Melvin Mora, Nolan Reimold, Brad Bergesen, and Cesar Izturis -Orioles...

Let's hear from the female fans

Let's hear from the female fans
Recently, the Orioles Buzz featured a call to fans for their best promotion ideas for the 2010 season. Not only did you O's fans respond with some great promos, but one fan mentioned how she'd like to see some events focused on bringing women to the ballpark. So, I figured I'd look into what some other clubs have already been doing in that department. Not all teams have a women's club, but a handful of them do. For example, the Toronto Blue Jays have the "Lady Jays"; the Los Angeles...

Miscellaneous Matusz (Updated with answers)

But below are a few questions related to the O's young southpaw that might surprise or even stump you. See if you can figure out any of the following from Matusz's Q&A at the ESPN Zone back in September of the 2009 season. Matusz's favorite ballplayer growing up was...?

Jack-O-lanterns, emphasis on the "O!"
It's likely inevitable that the weather will turn warm again for at least one more weekend before winter settles in, but the cold weather came on fast this year, didn't it? But with it comes that time of year when Starbucks puts out its Pumpkin Spice latte, the amazing cook in the office brings in delicious pumpkin bread, and you see the bright orange faces of carved pumpkins themselves smiling from the doorsteps of neighborhood houses. But this year, if you still have a pumpkin ripe for...

A little more MacPhail

A little more MacPhail
A recent article in Dickinson Magazine featured a particular alumnus of special interest to Orioles fans. If you didn't already know that O's President of Baseball Operations Andy MacPhail (along with many in his family) graduated from Dickinson College, the magazine feature touches on the MacPhail family's unshakable connections to the college, the game of baseball, and the Orioles. The article's author, Sherri Kimmel, adeptly likens the MacPhail name in baseball to the Kennedy...

Where is Birdland?

Where is Birdland?
Is it a place with an address - like 2110 Eutaw Street? Or is it an idea, an expression used to tell people that this (wherever you are) is Oriole fan territory? It's both in a way. Oriole Park at Camden Yards is certainly "Birdland." It's the city center of all that is Oriole fandom, but Birdland is bigger than merely the Yard. Birdland reaches to wherever you take your Oriole fan pride, and the "Where is Birdland?" photo galleries on Orioles.com encourage fans to share exactly where...

Celebrities at the World Series and an O's WS question

Celebrities at the World Series and an O's WS question
First things first - a fair warning: this post obviously isn't 100% focused on the Orioles. Although, we all probably enjoy the idea of one day tracking celebrities at an O's-(Insert opponent of choice here) World Series--if O's fans will even be able to think about anything else when that day arrives! So this might be a little bit of a non-Orioles Buzz entry, but it's still fun to see who from the realm of stardom has made an appearance so far at this year's World Series. Check out The...
