The last two Octobers, the Orioles have gone 0-5 in playoff games and three of those were decided by one run. A clutch hit here or a clutch out there might have made the difference.

"Feel terrible," said Ryan O'Hearn. "Feel terrible for our

But I also can’t argue with Anthony Hopkins winning for his portrayal of Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs.” See, you ask and I answer. It’s that simple. Or in thi

Well I was not there and only saw a brief story or two on Tony Clark’s comments about use of pitchers. They were made at the World Series before the opening game on Friday. Clark is the executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association. "The conversations that we've had with our players have suggested that unless or until you draw
