Jason Giambi Middle Finger - Video

Jason Giambi of the New York Yankees extended his middle finger in the direction of Baltimore Orioles second basemen Brian Roberts following a hit. The reason Giambi flipped the bird was because on the previous at bat, Roberts fielded a grounder due to playing in a shift.
According to further reports, Giambi was only being […]

Video - Manny Ramirez Hits 500th Homer

On Saturday night, Manny Ramirez hit his 500th career homer against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Ramirez, the star outfielder for the Boston Red Sox, becomes the 24th player in history to reach the milestone.
Against right-hander Chad Bradford, Ramirez hammered the first pitch and posed for what he knew was his 500th dinger. […]

Video of Joe Girardi Getting Ejected

While the New York Yankees aren’t winning many games this season, at least their manager is doing a good job getting ejected. I give Girardi a B+ for his eruption that led to his ejection against the Baltimore Orioles. You can see a video of the ejected Joe Girardi at the end of […]

The Baltimore Orioles selected Hammonds with the fourth pick overall in the 1992 draft, two slots before the New York Yankees nabbed a […]

Random Wednesday: 1912 St. Louis Browns

Today’s bit of randomness is a team, the hapless 1912 St. Louis Browns. Under the “direction” of Bobby Wallace and George Stovall, the Browns went 53-101, which remarkably wasn’t bad enough for last place in the American League that year.

Orioles Acquire Adam Jones

Everyone else is calling it the Erik Bedard trade. I thought I’d be a little different and focus on the centerpiece of the package headed to Baltimore.

Ah, this brings back memories. The Baltimore Orioles nabbed left-hander Matt Riley in the third round of the 1997 draft. I picked him up in a fantasy league in ‘99 on the strength of his 13-8, 3.03 performance at Single- and Double-A as a 19-year-old.
Riley actually made three starts for the […]
