All-Star voting is another sign of how far baseball has come in Baltimore
It wasn't so long ago that the big question heading into the All-Star break around here was not who would represent the Orioles in the midsummer classic, but whether anybody was deserving enough to get in without the help of the rule that requires at...Tags: Matt Wieters, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Detroit Tigers, Mariano Rivera, Baltimore Orioles

Orioles' bullpen issues go beyond Jim Johnson's recent struggles
The Orioles were not a perfect team in 2012, though it's easy to get nostalgic about their first truly competitive season of this century. They were plugging holes in the starting rotation throughout the summer. They needed several months to assemble an...Tags: Matt Wieters, New York Yankees, Sports, Tommy Hunter, Adam Jones (baseball)

Orioles continue to show that 2012 was no fluke
It was about this time last year — give or take a week — that it became apparent the Orioles had undergone some kind of karmic transformation. The exact date was May 6, 2012 and the team was at Fenway Park. Nobody has to tell a real fan the...Tags: Fenway Park, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Minnesota Twins, Baltimore Orioles, Buck Showalter

U.S. should have world-class WBC pitching staff
Thirteen pitchers eligible to play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic received points in Cy Young voting. That, sports fans, should largely be the pitching staff for the team Joe Torre will manage. Imagine a starting rotation of R.A. Dickey,...

Orioles carry the magic into Opening Day win over Rays
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The same question followed the Orioles through a maddeningly uneventful offseason and a happily uneventful seven weeks of spring training. Would the magic that carried them to the playoffs for the first time in 15 years...Tags: Matt Wieters, Cy Young Award, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Jake McGee, Amusement and Theme Parks

MLB power rankings
1. Tigers: Forget the concern at closer. They were loaded last year, and they're a lot better with Victor Martinez, Torii Hunter and a full year of Anibal Sanchez. 2. Dodgers: Hanley Ramirez's injury could slow them out of the gate, but they're deep and...
