The Orioles have announced that the next O's FanFest is scheduled for Saturday, January 23, 2010 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Baltimore Convention Center. Orioles FanFest has been held in the Convention Center in January before, but for the past three years, the Orioles have held FanFest in the stadium at Camden Yards just prior to the start of the new season. Since the O's will open the 2010 season away from the Yard (in Tampa against the Rays on Tuesday, April 6), they've decided to...

How many times do you think you've seen Camden Yards? I'd bet I've seen Oriole Park at least a thousand times - but my appreciation for it never seems to lessen. Sometimes I take in the same old places; sometimes I notice something new; but I'd be so bold as to say I could recognize quite a few of the details in my back Yard. Can you? Think of this entry as a trial run for a new weekly feature line in the Orioles Buzz. Take a peek at the picture below, and see if you can figure out...

Is Sano saga finally nearing end stages?

There was a time when it seemed like the Orioles were one of the favorites to sign Dominican shortstop Miguel Angel Sano. That no longer seems to be the case, but the O's aren't out of it yet, either. John Stockstill, the O's director of international scouting said, "We have had talks with Sano in the past few days." While the signing of Sano by any team doesn't seem imminent, Stockstill added, "Things have stepped up in recent weeks." Baseball sources indicate something that has...

Game Preview Orioles (60-96) at Tampa (80-76) You need to get 27 outs to win a baseball game. The way the O's bullpen is performing recently, those final few outs have been hard to pick up. The O's pen blew a 7th-inning, 6-3 lead Monday night and Tampa beat the Orioles 7-6 extending the season's longest losing streak to 11 games. That's no where near the club record 21-game streak set in 1988, but it is the 6th losing streak of 11 or more games in franchise history. The last time the...

The Orioles are looking to add pitching. Any kind of pitching. It doesn't have to be a starter, though adjusting the rotation again remains a possibility. "I would say right now we'd like to add a corner infielder, but we don't really have to because we can go internally if we need to. But we're still looking at that," president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail said. "And we're still looking at any pitching where we think it would be an improvement." The club remains open to...

While wondering how Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson failed to receive a single MVP vote... The Orioles aren't going to sign a full-time designated hitter as long as Luke Scott remains on the roster. And while he's a trade chip who has generated interest among a few teams - including the Mariners before they acquired Casey Kotchman - the Orioles aren't actively shopping him. They want to add another corner infielder, but they don't have much interest in Mike Lowell. He's been...

Whether you're frantic for a last minute gift or looking for the best thing to spend your new Christmas cash on, there really is no end to the Orioles paraphernalia you can buy. You've likely been to the Orioles MLB Shop. One of my favorite "new arrivals" in the online shop is the iPhone/iPod touch case. If I had an iPhone, I'd be all over that one. You can also visit the Official Team Store in York, Pa. if waiting for shipping isn't an option. Or you might consider the array of...
