Here’s an interesting note from MASNSports.com’s Steve Melewski, since July 29, 2012 the Baltimore Orioles have the best record in all of baseball at 61-33 and the best home record at 31-13. If only the season began on July 29, 2012.
The 2013 Orioles are doing just fine though. They’re 20-13 and didn’t win their 20th game of the season last year until May 10.
Right now the Birds are second place in the AL East behind the Boston Red Sox. But they’re first place in our hearts.
They’ve won three straight games are 6-4 in their last ten and have a pretty +27 run differential (for those that pay attention to that sort of thing).
For those of you who ride the Orioles about their lack of free agent signings, (spy, 2488) Read this…

The big problem here MGW , with me , is the statement Peter the Great made about not paying a pitcher top money to pitch once every five days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I will not be happy until I see him do that , I would be a little happier if I see him pay top dollar to ma truely top line player , we do not have that guy yet , maybe Manny will be the one or Wieters if he brings up his numbers , time will tell , like I said , I’m a hard sell,,,,,,,,,,,,but I still wish them well…………………just my opinion………..
Where is O’s Suck now? Giving A-Roid more injections in his a$$?
Most likely B-Rob did this the same time he was playing with his a$$,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,his body has broken down due to steroid usage and this pissed me off as well,,,,,,,,,,,,,I really thought B-Rob was clean and he hood-winked me and I didn’t like it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
And he is out 6 more weeks…WTF! He has palyed his last game in an O’s uni.
So long BRob, thanks for the memories and the $33 million you have been paid over the last 3 years.
Hey guys , for fourteen years these bums did nothing but lose and it frustrated me to no end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I used to be a die hard fan but this string of losing seasons got to me because I didn’t see where they were doing the right things to straighten it out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it will take more than one playoff year to win me back totally , until then I still route for them and watch them and want them to win me back but I’m a hard sell,,,,,,,,,,,,,,if I see playoffs becoming a regular thing I will get back in the fold big time , until them you will just have to put up with my crazy comments from time to time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Go Ravens………………
spy – while we don’t always agree here, I admire the fact that you are ALWAYS on the site and sharing your opinions!
I kind of view our teams like NYSE Stock. I bought the O’s stock when it was a penny a share and it’s taken off for me since Buck (and DD) got here. Buy low (really REALLY low) and ride out the good times.
The Ravens stock is selling for hundreds of dollars per share. I own it, but I’m a little leary that the bottom could drop out.
Buy low sell high. O’s stock isn’t a penny any more, but still a good value.
Buy some now.
Spy, Jim, Mystery Man, Dude, Slapshop, whoever you are today, Just because you team that you say you love loses for 15 years, you walk away? So when the Ravens start losing, you walk away? A real fan backs their team through thick and then. Sometimes it stays thin for a long time.
I can tell you are still in the closet when it comes to loving the O’s and that’s ok. A lot of people are still in the closet for a lot of other reasons. keep up the faith Jim.
When are you and I dining on some fresh Essex crabs? My treat! I am trying to get young Zach to get a BSR gala together. I want to drive your Corvette and you can drive my minivan. 🙁
Boy , I haven’t been in a minivan since the sixties,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,as for the O’s , I never walked away , I have always wished them well and wanted them to win and be competitive,,,,,,,,,,,,,,It’s just that I displayed my unhappiness with the way Angelos was running the ship in various blogs , I gained a reputation of being a hater but that is not true , I guess you can call me a very frustrated fan for those fourteen years of losing baseball ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it was embarrassing to have a team that Angelos was running into the ground , I hope those days are over , it’s more fun this way,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
