Starting this season, the Orioles will be one of the more interesting teams in the division for what should be the better part of the decade. The top of the minors are awash with upper echelon pitching prospects (Brian Matusz, Chris Tillman, Jake Arrieta) to go along...

Though the Boston rumor mill may be idling at the moment, the rest of the AL East is gaining momentum. Here’s a summary of the recent rumors and additions from around the division – minus Curtis Granderson: – According to MLBTradeRumors, the Yankees are...

The winter months always bring to light the advantages of the rich over the poor in the MLB. Without a doubt, there will, again, be a ring of publications bemoaning the struggles of low-market teams as they fight to compete in their league and division. The American...

GAME NOTES: Daisuke Matsuzaka takes the hill for the second time since his much-anticipated return. While his first start was impressive, it will be all for naught if he morphs back into his former self. Dice-K needs to continue attacking the strike zone if he hopes...

GAME NOTES: Lester starts on one extra day of rest. Lester is inching up on 200 innings pitched on the year, so I see no reason why they shouldn’t be a little cautious this late in the season. David Hernandez? Fah! Lester eats David Hernandez for...

GAME NOTES: Clay Buchholz locks horns with the Orioles and Jeremy Guthrie. It seems like Buchholz keeps facing the Orioles. Of course, he has that no-hitter… but the Orioles have also bombed him unrelentingly. Although Buck looks like he can be our No. 3 in the...

How’s that for a play on words? Except for the whole birds being able to bark thing, of course. Byrd threw a gem against Toronto and followed it up with a stinker against Chicago. What’s he got in store for Baltimore? On the other side, Berken has a 6.07...

Clay Buchholz tangles with the Baltimore Orioles, who he handcuffed two years ago for a no-hitter… and whom handcuffed him the last time the two dueled on Aug. 2 when Clay gave up seven runs over four...

Buchholz hopes to evolve as a starter. Hopefully that fastball command can improve–hasn’t been great in his first few starts of the season.
