In honor of Jackie Robinson Day (last week), can you guess where this #42 is displayed? Be specific since this one is a little bit easy. Answers will be posted on Wednesday. Ready for a great homestand? T-Shirt Tuesday? Elvis wigs? Fireworks? I hope so. See you at Nats Park! Answer: Jackie's commemorative #42 hangs in left field near the visitor's bullpen. Great work!

Orioles outfielder Felix Pie underwent an MRI this morning and learned that he could miss up to three months with an injury to his latissimus dorsi muscle. Pie went on the disabled list April 16 with an injury classified as a strained muscle in his upper back, but further examination today revealed a more serious problem. There's been no talk of surgery, and Pie is debating whether to stay here or report to Sarasota to rehab after an extended period of rest. President of baseball operations...

The only good news to report on Chris Tillman relates to his health. He's feeling fine, according to John Stockstill, the Orioles' director of player development. We'll need to find another excuse for Tillman, who lasted only one inning yesterday and allowed four runs and four hits, issued two walks, threw two wild pitches and hit a batter. Tillman was removed after throwing 42 pitches, 24 for strikes. His early exit led to some speculation that he might be hurt, but Stockstill said that...

The Orioles, Ravens and MASN will team up again this season to offer the third annual O's Ravens Rally to be held this year at Oriole Park on Saturday, June 12. The O's and Ravens will partner to bring fans of both of Baltimore's Birds giveaways, a special first pitch ceremony, and appearances from Ravens at Oriole Park. The first 20,000 fans (ages 15 and older) who enter the ballpark before the Orioles' Saturday evening game against the Mets will receive an O's Ravens Rally Cap...

Probably no player in the O's farm system has gotten off to a faster start at the plate than Delmarva first baseman Tyler Kolodny. The 22-year-old, right-handed hitter batted .226-9-42 in 107 games with Delmarva last year. But this year he is crushing South Atlantic League pitching so far and is batting .387-6-11. Today, he was named SAL Player of the Week. He leads the league in homers (6), slugging (1.000), total bases (44), extra-base hits (12) and triples (3). "It's a credit to...

On Monday morning, Nationals pitcher John Lannan met with children and families at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda. Lannan, a 2009 recipient of the Roberto Clemente Award for community service, is a Sports Ambassador to the Children's Inn at NIH. The facility is a "place like home" for children receiving treatment at NIH for serious illnesses including cancer, heart, lung, blood, bone and growth disorders, mental illnesses, and HIV infection. "Anytime you can be...

Welcome back to the Orioles Buzz and this week's 'Where in the Yard?' - And first of all, things always seem a little sweeter the morning after an Orioles' win, don't they? This week, even though the O's won't return home for another week or so, we get to return to the Yard early to test your eyes for all things Orioles. I'll even go out on a limb and say that I think this week's image is a hard one - though you O's fans always amaze me with how well you know your own Oriole...

I just received a statement from Cal Ripken regarding the FoxSports.com story that detailed how owner Peter Angelos allegedly turned down the Hall of Famer's request to join the front office in an unspecified capacity. Ripken was traveling with his family over the weekend and unavailable to comment until today. The statement, sent in an e-mail, reads: "In my baseball experience, rumors and stories seem to break when things aren't going well. Let me address recent media reports. "First...

It's funny how good a team can look when it scores eight runs. There were no complaints about first-pitch swinging, the makeup of the lineup or working the count. The team scored early to give a starter the lead, added on and put it away with more offense late. Who knew Ty Wigginton would be the hero? At this point, who cares, it's just good that someone stepped up. Now the big question is this. Will the team build on this and start playing better baseball leading to more wins? The...

Kevin Millwood delivered the lineup card to home plate yesterday. I'd have Kevin Millwood deliver the lineup card to home plate tonight. If the Orioles win again, I'd have Kevin Millwood deliver the lineup card to home plate tomorrow night. I'm not sure if he should do it on the night that he's pitching, but we'll cross that bridge on Wednesday. As long as the Orioles are stringing together victories, I'd make sure that Kevin Millwood delivered the morning paper to his teammates. If...
