After naming Jeremy from Cumberland the 'Where in the Yard?' winner for April, we're back with a clean slate for May. In case you're joining us for the first time, simply take a look at the image below and let us know what the item is and where it's located in or around Oriole Park at Camden Yards. And whether you've been here since the beginning or you're here for the first time, we have some new rules for the latest round. Don't forget that the first fan to answer correctly will get...

I'm watching Family Guy and cleaning up from the spaghetti dinner I prepared for my little one, but there's always time to check on the affiliates. Triple-A Norfolk's Brandon Erbe turned in his finest outing of the season, allowing one run and three hits over six innings against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He walked three and struck out a season-high six. Too bad the Tides managed only three hits and lost. I told you earlier that Koji Uehara registered a scoreless inning, allowing one hit on...

So I'm sure this is what you thought at the beginning of the weekend series vs. the Red Sox. Sure, the Sox had won seven of their last nine games coming into this series and were coming off a three-game sweep of Toronto. Boston would start John Lackey, Daisuke Matsuzaka and Josh Beckett in the series. The Orioles would blow a 3-1 lead in game one of this series and fall behind 4-3 in the 8th. The next night, O's pitchers would walk ten batters. Jim Johnson was so poor, he was sent back...

Here are some more clubhouse quotes after the O's 3-2, 10-inning win over the Red Sox on Sunday afternoon. Will Ohman on the short mound meeting with Dave Trembley in the ninth inning: "He just said 'I want you to get this guy out.' Any relief guy is going to want that to happen. He comes out and maybe you have to plead your case, I didn't have to. I wanted the chance to succeed or fail on your own merits. I was ready (to plead my case)." Will Ohman on Trembley saying he had great...

With the game on the line in the last of the 10th Sunday, the Orioles had their home run and RBI leader at the plate vs. Jonathan Papelbon. Not Nick Markakis, or Matt Wieters or even Miguel Tejada. It was Ty Wigginton at the plate and a Papelbon error had moved Markakis, who drew a leadoff walk, to second base. Ty Wigginton gets a pie in the face after his walk-off hit in the O's 3-2 win Two innings earlier, manager Dave Trembley had Wigginton drop a sac bunt. He said he did not expect to...

Manager Dave Trembley knew the Orioles were going to win today. We'll have to take his word for it, since he didn't write it down earlier or record his thoughts. "Sometimes, you come to the ballpark and you don't know what you're going to get," he said after a 3-2, 10-inning victory over Boston. "Today, when I walked through the clubhouse, I felt like we were going to win. I really felt like we were going to win. And I like what I saw today out there." Dave Trembley talks with the...

How do you like them apples? Ty Wigginton wasn't bunting in the 10th inning. Nick Markakis walked to conclude an outstanding at-bat and took second on an errant pickoff throw from Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon, and Wigginton kept swinging and kept fouling off pitches until he lined a double into left-center field to give the Orioles a 3-2 victory. That's an unearned run, if you're scoring at home. The Orioles have swept the Red Sox in a home three-game series for the first time since...

Ty Wigginton, who has been getting big hits throughout the season for the Orioles, drilled an 0-2 pitch deep to center field for a game-winning RBI double in the the last of the tenth as the Orioles beat Boston 3-2 today. The O's have their first three-game home sweep of the Red Sox since 1974. They also beat nemesis Jonathan Papelbon. He entered today with a career 0.87 ERA vs. the Orioles, the lowest for any pitcher with 30 or more innings against the O's. The Birds have now won five of...

Here we go again. Everyone in the press box expected manager Dave Trembley to bring Matt Albers into the game with two outs, a runner on first and Adrian Beltre stepping to the plate in the top of the ninth. I said, "Let Will Ohman pitch. Stop passing the baton." But I'm not sure I really believed it. I just wanted to be the contrarian. I do know that Ohman has retired a few righties in his day - including Mike Lowell, who struck out after J.D. Drew's leadoff single. Trembley stepped...

Each game brings another friendly debate in the press box. That's part of the fun. Did manager Dave Trembley stay too long with Kevin Millwood? I say no. Should a right-hander have been warming in the bullpen alongside lefty Will Ohman? I say yes. Millwood gave up a two-out single to Dustin Pedroia that could have given Boston the lead - except Red Sox manager Terry Francona didn't pinch-run for catcher Jason Varitek, who would lose a race to a snail, though it might bring a photo...
