At least if you have to work on July 4th this year you won't feel like you're missing a fun Orioles day game at Camden Yards. With the Orioles facing the Angels on the west coast this weekend, the Yard will sit quiet for the Fourth. But since the O's won't be home to help you celebrate, let's look at how the Birds have fared on past Independence Days to see if Orioles fans can at least look forward to some good news when the end of the holiday weekend rolls around on Sunday. In the...

In a sport dominated by statistics, I can't find any stats to explain why the Orioles can't beat the Yankees or Red Sox. We all know the O's aren't better than those teams, not even close. And, yes, those clubs are now pushing for the post-season while the O's aren't pushing for anything. But they are 2-13 this year vs. Boston and 3-12 vs. New York. They can't win more than 14 percent vs. the Sox and 20 percent vs. New York? If a team won only 20 percent all year that club would...

While he won't ride his bicycle to Owings Mills the way he travels to work at Camden Yards most days, Orioles ace Jeremy Guthrie will be at the Wendy's on Lakeside Boulevard in Owings Mills Friday afternoon to sign autographs and spend some time with Orioles fans before the Birds take on the Blue Jays at home at 7:00 p.m. Adam Jones was the first Oriole to hit an area Wendy's as a part of the autograph series, and Guthrie will follow suit, signing autographs and posing for photos over...

Game Preview Orioles (56-83) at Yankees (91-50) Winning road games in the AL East has been a season-long problem for the Orioles. A big one at that. They are just 4-22 on the year in division road games. Starting tonight they will play three of them this weekend vs. the red-hot and almost certainly playoff-bound, New York Yankees. The O's are just 3-12 on the season vs. New York. Series Pitching Matchups: Fri, 7:05p - Chris Tillman (1-3, 4.66) vs. Andy Pettitte (13-6, 4.10). Sat, 1:05p -...

Orioles Baseball Summer Camps use the slogan "Learn how to play like the pros...with the pros." Sounds good so far, doesn't it? The Orioles have established dates in July and August during which they'll hold three, four-day summer baseball camps for boys and girls ages 7-16. Each of the camps, which will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, includes appearances by a current Oriole and at least one former Bird, as well as autograph and photo opportunities, lunch and an afternoon snack...

RHP Chris Tillman (1-3, 4.66) tonight will make his 9th Major League start of this season, his 5th on the road and the 1st of his career vs. the Yankees. In his last start vs. Texas, Tillman gave up five runs and seven hits over six innings. Tillman has allowed 3ER or less in six of eight starts. He has recorded three quality starts on the year. Tillman's first two starts: 6.75 Tillman's last six starts: 4.04 Tillman has been hurt by the longball, allowing 11 homers in 46 1/3. He has...

The Orioles, looking to snap a ten-game losing streak vs. New York and a ten-game losing streak in New York, scored four in the 6th tonight to take a 7-4 lead on the Yankees. Brian Roberts' two-run single made it a 5-4 lead, the O's first lead of the night. Cesar Izturis followed with an RBI hit and Nolan Reimold added a sac fly. The four runs came off reliever Damaso Marte. Starter Andy Pettitte, who is 26-6 in his career vs. the O's, will not get a decision tonight. He gave up three...

Fireworks Friday Fans out for the first game of the Orioles' last series before the All-Star break should remember to take advantage of Student Night if it applies to you and also to enjoy postgame fireworks after the O's face the Blue Jays at home. Student Night makes $6 left field upper reserve tickets available to students with a valid ID and Fireworks Night is free for all fans following the game. Check out the ceremonial first pitch Saturday Thanks to @FrancescaGuiou for reminding me...

In a game played in the rain and wind in New York, the Orioles ended a ten-game losing streak vs. the Yankees with a 10-4 win. The O's also ended a ten-game losing streak in New York. The game was delayed an hour and 24 minutes at the start and for another hour and seven minutes in the top of the seventh. The contest ended at 1:28 AM Saturday morning. Trailing 4-1 after four, the O's went on to score the game's last nine runs. They put up two in the 5th, four in the 6th and three in the...

This might be Adam Jones' first All-Star Game, but in addition to the rule that ensures each team sends a representative, the Orioles are no strangers to the events of All-Star week. The Orioles have hosted the All-Star Game twice in the event's history, and the American League came out on top both times. The first Midsummer Classic held in Birdland was in 1958 when the AL took the All-Star Game from the NL 4-3. The second Oriole-hosted All-Star Game took place in 1993, one year after...
