Anyone remember who the Orioles play on opening day next season? Oh, yeah, right. If one kid shows up at my door for Halloween tonight wearing a beard and a Red Sox cap, he's getting a treat from the crappy bag of candy. No mini Snickers or Kit Kat or Hershey bar or Reese's. Enjoy your Dum Dum. Consider yourselves lucky that I'm not handing out dental floss or pocket combs. I actually picked the Red Sox to win the World Series before the playoffs started, but I wasn't going out on a...

The Boston Red Sox have now won three World Series championships in the last 10 years. That is very impressive, and they capped a strong season with their Game 6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals last night. Not sure many O's fans will pass along even grudging congratulations, but now the offseason is officially here and the it's the job of Orioles management to try to figure out how to beat them and get back in the playoffs next season.

Last night, the Orioles became the first American League team since the 2002-03 Seattle Mariners to win at least three Gold Gloves in consecutive seasons. Manny Machado, J.J. Hardy and Adam Jones took home the hardware. That is strong stuff. From 1977 to 2011, the Orioles won three Gold Gloves in one season just once, in 1998. From 2000-2008, the Orioles won a total of zero Gold Gloves. Before last night, the last time an Orioles team won three or more Gold Gloves in back-to-back years was...

Purke threw 60 pitches with 35 for strikes. Still,...

Yesterday is a blur, but it cleared up a few issues. The Orioles have a new pitching coach, former Braves minor league pitching coordinator Dave Wallace. They have three Gold Glove winners in center fielder Adam Jones, shortstop J.J. Hardy and third baseman Manny Machado. They had a lot going on yesterday. Wallace was officially hired six days after his interview. All four candidates made strong impressions on manager Buck Showalter, executive vice president Dan Duquette and vice president of...

Orioles manager Buck Showalter told reporters tonight during a conference call that he didn't downgrade any of the pitching coach candidates for being too old or too young. Age didn't matter. The Orioles chose 66-year-old Dave Wallace, who spent the past four seasons as the Braves minor league pitching coordinator, over former Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee, Mariners pitching coach Carl Willis and Rangers bullpen coach Andy Hawkins. "The guys we interviewed who we didn't take will...
