As the O's depart from the Yard for their last road trip of the 2010 season, we'll stick around Oriole Park a little longer here in the Orioles Buzz for another round of 'Where in the Yard?'. This week's image is something I've probably walked by a hundred times without noticing until I found myself on a hunt for more unique images from around the Birds' ballpark. So we'll see if you're more observant than I was... As always, take a look at the photo below and let us know what the...

There have been some questions, at times, about his defense, but Ryan Adams can hit. The 23-year-old, O's second-round pick out of Louisiana high school in 2006 hammered that point home big time this year at Double-A Bowie. At times, he hammered Eastern League pitching, batting .298-15-68 with 43 doubles and an .829 OPS. Adams led or tied for the league lead in hits, doubles and extra-base hits and finished tied for 8th in batting average. "Feel like the season went well. I put a lot of...

It's almost that time. With just thirteen Nationals games left on the schedule and only ten left at Nationals Park, it's time to say goodbye to ballpark friends and bring this season to a close. This week, don't forget to pick up a raffle ticket to "Jerseys Off Their Backs," which benefits the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation. Winners will receive a game-worn jersey on Sunday, Sept 26 during a special post-game ceremony. The final two giveaways of the season include a Mr....

Maybe there's no such thing as a big win on Sept. 19 when you're in last place, but it sure felt like one yesterday. Rather than being swept by the Yankees with a nine-game road trip approaching, the Orioles had an extra bounce in their collective steps as they headed out the door. They lost the series to the Yankees, but it didn't seem that way as rows and rows of New Yorkers streamed for the exits after Luke Scott scored on Ty Wigginton's 11th-inning single. Finally, they had been...

The Nationals instructional league team has completed their first weekend of work in Viera, Florida, with game one set for Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. Bryce Harper had a good opening three days, getting started in the pros with his new teammates and coaches. Nationals hitting instructor Rick Schu says the team's number one pick should have no trouble switching from his familiar catching spot to the outfield. "He can catch. He can play infield, he can play outfield," Schu said....

Some O's post-game quotes after their 4-3, 11-inning win over the Yankees in a game they trailed 3-1 heading to the last of the eighth. It's just the Yankees second loss all year when leading after eight innings and they are now 77-2 in those situations. The Orioles are now 3-79 when trailing after eight frames. Luke Scott's homer in the ninth off Mariano Rivera was just the second he has allowed this year. The other was vs. Minnesota's Jason Kubel on May 16. Scott had been 1 for 12 vs....

The Orioles won a game that Andy Pettitte started. A game that Mariano Rivera tried to close out. A game against the New York Yankees in September that prevented a sweep as they hit the road for a three-city trip. Luke Scott tied it up with his leadoff home run off Rivera in the ninth. And he scored the winning run on Ty Wigginton's single into the gap in right-center field. The most satisfying win under manager Buck Showalter? "I don't look at it that way," he replied. "It's not about...

Luke Scott's homer leading off the last of the 9th off Mariano Rivera tied the game 3-3 and he doubled and scored the winning run in the last of the 11th as the Orioles beat the Yankees 4-3 today in front of 39,537 at Camden Yards. After Scott's double to left leading off the last of the 11th, Ty Wigginton ripped an RBI single into the gap in right center off David Robertson to score Scott and give the O's a walk-off win. It's their 12th walk-off win of the year and 6th under Buck...

We don't need an interpreter for this one. Coming off his second blown save against the Yankees, which left him unable to stand, Koji Uehara struck out the side in the top of the 10th inning. It wasn't a save situation, but he had to feel some pressure in a tie game, and following the steady diet of fastballs he fed Alex Rodriguez that ended with a three-run homer. Uehara kept feeding the Yankees splitters today, and he struck out Nick Swisher, Jorge Posada and Curtis Granderson. A much...
