You already know that the Orioles will attempt to complete their first three-game sweep of the Red Sox in Boston since June 10-12, 1994. Reliever Mike Oquist got the win in relief in the first game. Mike Mussina won the second game. Ben McDonald allowed three runs over eight innings to finish up the sweep. Brady Anderson went 4-for-4 with a triple, two RBIs and two runs scored. McDonald and Anderson have worked in the MASN broadcast booth this season. Coincidence? Yes, I'm sure. You're...

Nationals prospects are busy from the early morning hours this week as they get ready to take on the Atlanta Braves in game one of the instructional league schedule on Thursday. Nationals hitting instructor Rick Schu says they are in the batting cage at 7:00 a.m. every morning. They then get on the field to work on defensive drills. The guys have workouts with individual coaches based on pre-camp evaluations of each players' specific areas of need. "These players are special guys. These...

Jets receiver Braylon Edwards was arrested this week for DWI. Knowing Edwards, the charges also will be dropped. Now, back to baseball... Did you know that Catonsville native and former major league pitcher Jeff Nelson recently bought a home in Sykesville? Well, he did. Nelson is doing some work for XM radio and MLB.com. It was nice to see Julio Lugo back in the Orioles' dugout last night. And yes, smiling. Lugo told reporters in Boston that he's been diagnosed with a "partially...

For the third day in a row, Ty Wigginton produced the RBI that untied a game and led the Orioles to a win. Tonight at Boston, Wigginton's three-run homer in the 7th, just inside of the Pesky Pole in Fenway Park's right field, gave the O's a 4-1 lead and they beat the Red Sox, 9-1. Gary Thorne talks with Buck Showalter following the O's 9-1 win over Boston The O's have taken the first two games of the set and it's their first three-game series win at Fenway since July of 2004. The...

I really feel bad for Jonathan Papelbon. Oh wait...I actually feel the exact opposite for Jonathan Papelbon. The Orioles just tagged him for four runs on five hits in the top of the ninth, increasing their lead to 9-1. Let me type the last part of that line again: Increasing their lead to 9-1. This game is being played in Fenway Park. In September. And the Orioles are beating the Red Sox, 9-1. They can complete the sweep tomorrow night. Must be the soft part of the schedule again.

Let's start with the hustle. Adam Jones scored all the way from first base when Boston second baseman Marco Scutaro dropped Felix Pie's pop up with two outs in the top of the sixth inning. Jones could have assumed that Scutaro would make the catch, but he ran full-speed and delivered the tying run. Maybe it's odd to praise hustle - it should be a requirement - but it seems worth noting in this instance. Not every player would have circled the bases on that play. An inning later, Ty...

Clay Buchholz was shutting down the Orioles again. He led 1-0 with a man on first and two outs in the top of the sixth when Felix Pie hit a pop up on the right side of the infield. It should have been caught by second baseman Marco Scutaro, but he missed it amidst some Fenway Park wind and the O's tied the game, 1-1 on the unearned run. Adam Jones who was on first, fortunately, ran pretty hard around the bases and scored easily when the ball dropped into short right field. The O's had...
