Orioles begin Spring Training — This team needs to get younger

February 14, 2011

Depressing title for a blog post for the start of spring training, right? We hear about how hope springs eternal for every team during spring training – but most teams don’t play in the American League East without the revenue of some other teams in the division. Yeah, this post is probably a bit too [...]

A fan base divided

February 8, 2011

I’m not sure if I’ve ever remember a signing being this divisive among the Orioles fan base. Granted, I’m only 20 years old. I can only really remember about the past decade of Orioles baseball, but I do very faintly remember my father flipping out about the Albert Belle signing. Through those past 10 years, [...]

Maybe split the difference with Vlad?

February 4, 2011

UPDATE: Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes is reporting that Guerrero and the Orioles have agreed to a one-year, $8 million deal. At first blush, eight million seems like too much for Guerrero. The entirety of my post still applies as to how I feel Guerrero should best be utilized, but the way I think he [...]

Capitals a mixed bag at the all-star break

January 28, 2011

If someone would have told me before the regular season that, by the all-star break, the Capitals would be second in the NHL in killing off penalties (86.0 percent) and seventh in the league in goals against average (2.45), I would have been ecstatic. During the off-season, I wanted a commitment to a more aggressive [...]

The Ravens offense: In need of tweaks or surgery?

January 22, 2011

I think I’ve officially settled down from the debacle that was the Ravens playoff game at Pittsburgh. It might have taken all week, but I’m officially back. If you’re a Patriots or Falcons fan, it probably sucks that you saw your once-promising seasons with No. 1 seeds go down the toilet, but your teams just [...]

Unfortunately, they’re the same old Ravens

January 16, 2011

Ever since the Ravens won the Super Bowl on Jan. 28, 2001, there has been one nagging aspect of this team that has come to bite them most times they have a big game, both in the regular season and in the playoffs, especially the latter. It’s something that has been plagued them through two [...]

The Caps at the mid-point: A few thoughts

January 15, 2011

Due to my lengthy hiatus from the blog, I haven’t gotten a word in about the Capitals. Without further ado, here are my thoughts on the Capitals, who are in second place in the Southeast Division with 55 points and looking up at the Tampa Bay Lightning (57 points). 1. HBO is the greatest television [...]

A rundown of the O’s off-season additions

January 10, 2011

Barring anything unforeseen, the nuts and bolts of the Orioles’ off-season is complete. According to the Baltimore Sun, the Orioles will probably find a left-handed specialist on the cheap and perhaps just give him a minor league deal and a spring training invite, similar to what they did with Will Ohman last off-season, or perhaps seek [...]

Would pursuing Prince Fielder be a good idea?

January 6, 2011

First off, I am indeed aware that I took a bit of a hiatus from my blog. OK, I took a long hiatus from my blog. My last post was a recap of the Ravens-Bengals game…in September. School at College Park was very busy this semester (busier than at any time last year) and when [...]

Recap: Bengals 15, Ravens 10

September 19, 2010

Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback Joe Flacco, shown here during a training camp practice on Aug. 3, was horrific against the Cincinnati Bengals, throwing four interceptions. Flacco completed just 17 of 39 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown. Here’s part of what I wrote right before training camp opened in Westminster, Md. in regards to the new weapons the Baltimore [...]

Supersized Ravens Preview/Review

September 17, 2010

Anquan Boldin caught seven passes for 110 yards in the Baltimore Ravens’ season opener against the New York Jets. What will Boldin do for an encore against the Cincinnati Bengals? First of all, I’ve heard a lot of talk about how the Baltimore Ravens’ game on Sunday afternoon in Cincinnati is a “trap game.” A trap game [...]
