This week in O's history

August 19, 2010, 8:10am

Orioles

This particular week in the calendar year has seen some milestones for the O's throughout the team's history. Going the farthest back and on this day in O's history, Cal Ripken Jr. passed Steve Garvey for the third-longest consecutive games streak by playing his 1,280th straight game. Cal and the O's faced the Toronto Blue Jays on August 18, 1989, and the game was otherwise unremarkable for Cal, but the shortstop would of course go on to set a new major league record by playing in 2,632...

I had an idea who this month's winner might be before I even finished tallying up the points.

Well, it's not all hanging out on the bench watching ballgames. As Jeremy Guthrie takes the mound Wednesday night against the Blue Jays, the right-hander takes you through the meticulous routine he'll carry out on Thursday - the day after his latest start. According to Guthrie, the post-start routine begins the afternoon...
