Fans invited to help O's Hurricane Sandy relief efforts

Fans invited to help O's Hurricane Sandy relief efforts
First a hurricane, then a snowstorm. The poor folks in New Jersey have been hit by a one-two punch, to be sure. Now, it's our turn to step up and help. And the Orioles are making it possible for you to do your part. The Orioles are partnering with Von Paris Moving and Storage to fill two to three large moving vans with the most critically needed relief items so they can be delivered directly to the New Jersey communities of Union Beach, Belmar, Tom's River, Hazlet and Seabright. That's...

Wearing O's jersey, Laurel's Merson wins $8.5 million in World Series of Poker

Wearing O's jersey, Laurel's Merson wins $8.5 million in World Series of Poker
The Orioles got some love in the unlikeliest of places. Laurel resident Greg Merson won the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas early this morning, claiming the top prize of just over $8.5 million at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. His victory was broadcast on a 15-minute delay on ESPN (the delay was necessary to protect the integrity of the tournament, according to a press release). And he did it wearing an Orioles jersey, as this photo from Joe Giron of WSOP-Poker News clearly shows. What...

Ex-Oriole Dave May dead at 68 in Delaware

Ex-Oriole Dave May dead at 68 in Delaware
Dave May, an outfielder who spent four of his 12 major league seasons in an Orioles uniform and was the answer to one of baseball's weirdest trivia questions, died Saturday in Bear, Del. He was 68, and had been battling diabetes and cancer. May, a native of New Castle, Del., who graduated from New Castle High School, was drafted in 1961 by the Giants and acquired by the Orioles a year later in the first-year draft. He debuted with the Orioles in 1967 and played in Baltimore until 1970, when...

Keys' doomsday promotion up for 2012 MiLBY Award

Keys' doomsday promotion up for 2012 MiLBY Award
The most memorable minor league game I attended in 2012 was Dylan Bundy's Single-A debut for the Frederick Keys at Harry Grove Stadium. In the many times I've trekked to Frederick, I've never seen the park that packed, experienced the buzz surrounding one player or parked as far away as I did the evening of May 26. No one in the standing room-only crowd dreamed that Bundy would wind up pitching for the Orioles in a pennant race; they just wanted to see if the 2011 first-round draft pick...

What they're saying about ALDS Game 5 and the 2012 season

With the Birds' year at its end, here's what media outlets are saying about Game 5 and the season in its entirety: * Kevin Kudak of Yahoo! Sports said that the umpires made the right decision in not overturning the call that labeled Nate McLouth's long foul ball a home run. * Wallace Matthews of ESPNNewYork.com stated that the Yankees didn't beat...

Matthew Taylor: Everything I needed to know about Jim Johnson I learned back in June

Matthew Taylor: Everything I needed to know about Jim Johnson I learned back in June
Jim Johnson's 51 saves in 2012 were the most in baseball and established a new Orioles record in the category. Despite all that success, Johnson's most memorable regular season moment for me was his first blown save, which demonstrated his resilience as well Buck Showalter's faith in his new closer. Little did I know at the time that it would also serve as foreshadowing for the American League Division Series. Johnson's blown save occurred June 5 at Fenway Park. He allowed a game-tying,...

Orioles: The Real Deal

Orioles: The Real Deal
Defying the odds, the predictions and many fans' expectations, the Orioles emerged as a powerhouse in the AL East this season. With a 93-69 record in the regular season, the Orioles locked up a wild card spot on the last day of September and found themselves in the playoffs for the first time since 1997. While some fans we asked said they knew as early as spring training that the Orioles were going to play into October, other cited specific times when they felt more confident in the Birds....

James Baker: In the cold air of the morning

James Baker: In the cold air of the morning
Last night was a bitter pill to swallow. It was a hard, swift kick to the collective bellend of the greater Baltimore area. For at least the next 10 hours, we will hear about the Yankee mystique and the majesty of the greatest franchise in baseball's history. The New York Yankees have had so many moments like last night's in their history that they could fill a library with the written accounts. I believe the New York Public Library, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, does in...

What they're saying about ALDS Game 3

What they're saying about ALDS Game 3
The American League Division Series shifted to New York after two games in Baltimore. Jim Johnson gave up the game-tying home run to pinch-hitter Raul Ibanez, who eventually won the game for the Yankees in extra innings with a walk-off homer, his second of the game. The Yankees now lead the best-of-five series, two games to one. The two teams will meet again tonight, with first pitch scheduled for 7:37 p.m. Here's a roundup of what other media outlets are saying about Game 3 of the ALDS...

By now you've read the wall-to-wall coverage of the ALDS on MASNsports.com from Roch Kubatko and Steve Melewski. Here's a round-up of what other media outlets are saying about Game 2 of the ALDS between the Orioles and Yankees. * Buck Showalter knew what he was doing when intentionally putting the go-ahead run on base in the seventh, says Joel Sherman of the New York...

Zach Wilt: Power of the 'pen

Zach Wilt: Power of the 'pen
If the Orioles are going to be playing baseball next week, they're going to have to out-pitch the New York Yankees in the remaining two or three games of the American League Division Series. Despite the $116 million difference in the two team's payrolls, I'm confident that the Birds have the advantage when it comes to their arsenal of arms. Jim Johnson picked a tough time to have an off night, but the good news is that his rough outing was just that night. The Orioles' closer was charged...

Matthew Taylor: Postseason probably means an improbable hero or two

Matthew Taylor: Postseason probably means an improbable hero or two
The 2012 Orioles, a roster filled with odds-defying heroes, are a perfect match for postseason baseball, which rewards unlikely stars by elevating their clutch performances from enjoyable to unforgettable. Player names that, years later, you can't remember become ones you'll never forget. Taylor Teagarden has recorded three walk-off hits this season, including a game-winning, two-run homer in his second at-bat with the Orioles. I can envision O's fans years from now talking about "that...

James Baker: It's not over

James Baker: It's not over
The Orioles finished Game 162 with a 4-1 loss at the hands of a scrappy, prideful, Tampa Bay Rays team. But for the first time in more than a decade, the season is not over. As a result of the their loss and the Yankees' win, the Orioles are the second wild card team and must fly to Arlington, Texas, to face the suddenly mortal Texas Rangers. The 2012 season will go down in Baltimore lore as one of the most amazing spectacles. The Orioles finished with the best record in one-run-games in the...

Neal Shaffer: A burden, lifted

Neal Shaffer: A burden, lifted
What do sports mean to a city, after all? Of what value is a team? What do we really gain from having handsomely compensated athletes organize themselves in uniform to play games in a city most of them don't call home? In a word, it's community. From economic impact to camaraderie, everyone can find their own favorite reason why sports matter. Regardless of which one you favor, a team is one of the few things that still has the power to impart a real sense of "us." Rooting can be a...

MASN getting geared up for O's in postseason (updated)

MASN getting geared up for O's in postseason (updated)
Seems like only yesterday that Roch Kubatko was bringing class in "School of Roch" to order in Sarasota. But that was more than seven months ago, and a lot has happened in the interim - not the least of which is the fact that the Orioles will make their first appearance in the postseason since 1997. Now, how they'll do that remains to be seen, since the season's not yet over. The O's could win out in St. Pete against the Rays and hope the Yankees lose their final game at home against...

Zach Wilt: Who's writing this script?

Zach Wilt: Who's writing this script?
If Hollywood was smart - six "Fast and the Furious" movies are strong evidence to the contrary - there would be a movie about the Orioles' season out by Opening Day 2013. This season is the perfect script and in a lot of ways, like most O's fans, I feel like I'm playing a minor character in it. Like when my brother-in-law and sister-in-law helped me purchase postseason tickets just days before giving birth to their first child. Or when my dad and I were on MASN reaching for Nate...

Neal Shaffer: What if the Orioles miss the playoffs?

Neal Shaffer: What if the Orioles miss the playoffs?
Today I come to raise a spectre. Not because I want to. Certainly not because anyone else wants me to (you surely don't). I do so, simply, because I must. To wit: What if the Orioles miss the playoffs? With seven games left the black and orange remain in a strong position. Despite two consecutive losses to the Blue Jays, they're still in this thing. The division title might be slipping away but the wild card is very much an option. The numbers, however, are not comfortable. A lot can and...
