As Monday rolls around again, we're back for another 'Where in the Yard?' in the Orioles Buzz - And in fact, you're looking at the last 'Where in the Yard?' of the 2010 season, as the O's look to close out their year at home this weekend against the Detroit Tigers at Camden Yards. With that in mind, I thought I'd leave you with an image of happy memories, and maybe one that will get you hoping for the future. So take a look at the photo below and let us know what the item is and where...

It's Monday, it's raining and the Orioles have lost four in a row. That'll put a bounce in your step. The Rays are poised to clinch a playoff berth, needing one more victory or a Red Sox loss. Manager Buck Showalter has suggested that it might do his players some good to watch another team celebrate, providing a reminder of what everyone strives for in this game. Well, he'll probably get his wish at Tropicana Field, unless you've got something else in mind. The Orioles get Wade Davis...

The name Narron is already listed once on the Orioles' all-time roster, and now Connor Narron is looking to put the family name there a second time in the future. Jerry Narron managed in the O's farm system from 1989 to 1992 and in 1993 and '94, he was a coach on Johnny Oates' staff. In June, the O's drafted his son Connor in the fifth round out of a North Carolina high school. Connor bypassed a scholarship to North Carolina to sign with the O's, who sure made it worth his while with...

Pretty strange that there seemed to be more controversial hits in the Orioles-Blue Jays game than the one that took place at M&T Bank Stadium. Reliever Alfredo Simon and manager Buck Showalter were ejected in the fifth inning today after the right-hander drilled former Oriole Jose Bautista with a pitch. Bautista had been hit earlier in the game by Orioles starter Rick VandenHurk - also on the left arm - and Toronto starter Shaun Marcum grazed Luke Scott's ribs in apparent retaliation,...

In addition to giving up a lot of homers this year to Toronto batters, the Orioles have struggled at times to hit Blue Jays pitchers. That was the case again today as Shaun Marcum gave up just one run over seven innings as Toronto beat the O's 5-2 to sweep the three-game series. Jim Hunter talks with Buck Showalter following the O's 5-2 loss to Toronto The Orioles went 0-9 on the year at Toronto and they were out-scored 54-20 in those games. Blue Jays pitchers had an ERA of 2.48 in the...

On Monday night, Nationals fans will have a unique opportunity to sample Chef Rick Moonen's new seafood creation. During the Nationals game against the Phillies, Moonen will unveil his "Moon N' Doggie" gourmet shrimp dog at Nationals Park. The special will be sold in the Stars and Stripes Club and at the Red Porch during the final three games. The shrimp dog is served with Asian slaw and toga chips. Moonen will be signing autographs and meeting with fans throughout the entire series...

On Sunday, the Nationals will honor legendary Braves manager Bobby Cox in a special pre-game ceremony. From 1991 to 2005, Cox won a record 14 straight division titles, five National League Pennants and the World Series in 1995. He will retire at the end of this season with 40 years of service to Major League Baseball. Willie Harris, who played for the Atlanta Braves in 2007, had plenty of kind things to say about Cox, whom he described as a player's manager. "He makes you feel a certain...

Manager Buck Showalter just met with the media in Toronto and indicated that he'll stay with the current rotation for the rest of the season, which concludes on Oct. 3 at Camden Yards. The way it's presently constructed, Rick VandenHurk will start today, followed by Brian Matusz tomorrow, Brad Bergesen on Tuesday, Kevin Millwood on Wednesday, Chris Tillman on Thursday, Jeremy Guthrie on Friday, VandenHurk on Saturday and Matusz on Sunday. Tillman was a candidate to be shut down, but he's...

One critical component of a winning baseball team is accountability in the clubhouse by the players themselves. Veteran teams have leaders that lead by example. Small problems are solved before they become major fissures. The players in the clubhouse police themselves. When one player is not doing something on the field he should be doing, a veteran goes to him and fixes the problem. Sometimes when it comes from a teammate instead of a higher figure in the organization, like the...
