Tonight's game between the Orioles and the Red Sox wasn't your ordinary ballgame. Through nine innings, the two teams combined to score 11 runs; walk 11 times; get 27 hits and use 13 different pitchers. Dave Trembley talks with Gary Thorne about the O's never giving up in the loss The Orioles battled tonight, but the Red Sox came through when it counted. The game was tied 4-4 in the seventh when the Sox brought in Victor Martinez to pinch-hit with the bases loaded. It didn't take him...

For most of this past season, Caleb Joseph carried a heavy load for the Frederick Keys. As a catcher, he had to handle a pitching staff that included top pitching prospects like Brian Matusz and Zach Britton. As a hitter he batted in the middle of the Keys' order. Joseph delivered on offense and defense. At the plate for much of this season he was the Carolina League's leading hitter. Fatigue finally caught up with him in August and his average tumbled when he batted just .156 for the...

At least if you have to work on July 4th this year you won't feel like you're missing a fun Orioles day game at Camden Yards. With the Orioles facing the Angels on the west coast this weekend, the Yard will sit quiet for the Fourth. But since the O's won't be home to help you celebrate, let's look at how the Birds have fared on past Independence Days to see if Orioles fans can at least look forward to some good news when the end of the holiday weekend rolls around on Sunday. In the...

In a sport dominated by statistics, I can't find any stats to explain why the Orioles can't beat the Yankees or Red Sox. We all know the O's aren't better than those teams, not even close. And, yes, those clubs are now pushing for the post-season while the O's aren't pushing for anything. But they are 2-13 this year vs. Boston and 3-12 vs. New York. They can't win more than 14 percent vs. the Sox and 20 percent vs. New York? If a team won only 20 percent all year that club would...

While he won't ride his bicycle to Owings Mills the way he travels to work at Camden Yards most days, Orioles ace Jeremy Guthrie will be at the Wendy's on Lakeside Boulevard in Owings Mills Friday afternoon to sign autographs and spend some time with Orioles fans before the Birds take on the Blue Jays at home at 7:00 p.m. Adam Jones was the first Oriole to hit an area Wendy's as a part of the autograph series, and Guthrie will follow suit, signing autographs and posing for photos over...

Game Preview Orioles (56-83) at Yankees (91-50) Winning road games in the AL East has been a season-long problem for the Orioles. A big one at that. They are just 4-22 on the year in division road games. Starting tonight they will play three of them this weekend vs. the red-hot and almost certainly playoff-bound, New York Yankees. The O's are just 3-12 on the season vs. New York. Series Pitching Matchups: Fri, 7:05p - Chris Tillman (1-3, 4.66) vs. Andy Pettitte (13-6, 4.10). Sat, 1:05p -...

Orioles Baseball Summer Camps use the slogan "Learn how to play like the pros...with the pros." Sounds good so far, doesn't it? The Orioles have established dates in July and August during which they'll hold three, four-day summer baseball camps for boys and girls ages 7-16. Each of the camps, which will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, includes appearances by a current Oriole and at least one former Bird, as well as autograph and photo opportunities, lunch and an afternoon snack...

RHP Chris Tillman (1-3, 4.66) tonight will make his 9th Major League start of this season, his 5th on the road and the 1st of his career vs. the Yankees. In his last start vs. Texas, Tillman gave up five runs and seven hits over six innings. Tillman has allowed 3ER or less in six of eight starts. He has recorded three quality starts on the year. Tillman's first two starts: 6.75 Tillman's last six starts: 4.04 Tillman has been hurt by the longball, allowing 11 homers in 46 1/3. He has...

The Orioles, looking to snap a ten-game losing streak vs. New York and a ten-game losing streak in New York, scored four in the 6th tonight to take a 7-4 lead on the Yankees. Brian Roberts' two-run single made it a 5-4 lead, the O's first lead of the night. Cesar Izturis followed with an RBI hit and Nolan Reimold added a sac fly. The four runs came off reliever Damaso Marte. Starter Andy Pettitte, who is 26-6 in his career vs. the O's, will not get a decision tonight. He gave up three...
