It's no secret that the Orioles' plan for the future is to acquire young talent and develop them in the team's farm system. O's fans are seeing the fruits of that labor in players like...

Not long before Nolan Reimold hit his seventh homer with the Birds Tuesday night, we noticed the sky above Oriole Park's stadium walls was a brilliant orange. "A good sign?" one of our multimedia producers asked. "Must mean the O's are going to win." As our jokes about the "good omen" faded into the sounds of the crowd five stories below our windows, BAM, Reimold hits another HR. Despite Mora's would-have-been-two-run-shot that was taken away by a fan interference call, it's good...

Each Thursday, MASN airs a new "Covering the Bases" segment with a different Oriole during that night's game.

Friday, June 12: Orioles Floppy Hat Day The First 25,000 fans (21 and older, as this promo is sponsored by Miller Lite) will receive an Orioles Floppy Hat giveaway. From the picture on the website, it also appears as though the hat is reversible, in case you want to wear your floppy hat often enough that you'd want to switch things up. Was anyone finding that a problem before? Friday is also Student Night, which features dirt...

He wants to play again this year, but O's center fielder Adam Jones is trying to come to grips with the concept that he may not. Jones suffered a badly sprained left ankle last night vs. the Yankees. It will keep him out at least two to three weeks and his season may well be over with so little time left. "It's a tough injury, but I see myself playing again, it's just a matter of when. But this sucks, it just sucks. It's something you can't control. "It's frustrating, I haven't...

Bobblehead nights at Oriole Park usually tend to do two things: 1. Get lots of fans to come out to the Yard to support the Birds 2. Cause more than half of those fans to utter the phrase: "How come bobbleheads never really look like the person they're supposed to be?" It's true, few bobbleheads bear an exact likeness to their namesake, and we do wonder why that bobbling head makes it that much harder to fashion a statue that accurately portrays the person whose name is painted on the...
