Orioles are doubled up by the Rays 4-2

OldTimeOriole — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 02:10:31 +0000

The Baltimore Orioles were doubled up by the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night. The O’s ended up losing the game by the score of 4-2. The O’s actually out hit the Rays 6-3 but were unable to make use of the extra hits.

Rocky Cherry took the loss after giving up a hit and two runs in one inning of action. Cherry had problems as he gave up three walks as well. Orioles starting pitcher Brian Bass tossed 4 2/3 innings and also gave up two runs.

Juan Castro walked to score the first O’s run when they had the bases loaded in the fifth inning. Brian Roberts then hit a sac fly for the Orioles second run. Not much offense as far as scoring runs for the Birds on Monday night.

Hopefully things will be better on Tuesday when the two teams face off once again.

OldTimeOriole — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 02:04:04 +0000

What an awesome night for the Baltimore Orioles as they scored 11 runs and defeated the Chicago White Sox 11-3. The Orioles were able to avoid the three game sweep as they showed the White Sox a big butt kicking on Wednesday night.

Right from the beginning the Orioles offense jumped all over White Sox starting pitcher John Danks. Brian Roberts and Aubrey Huff both finished the game with three rbi each. Huff had a two run home run and a sac fly for his three rbi while Roberts had a two run single and a rbi double. Kevin Millar and Melvin Mora both added solo home runs as well in the game as they finished wth one rbi each. Juan Castro also added two rbi to help out.

On the mound, Radhames Liz pitched 5 1/3 innings to get the win. Liz allowed three hits and two runs while picking up his fifth win of the season. Alberto Castillo, Lance Cormier, and Rocky Cherry all pitched in relief of Liz. Cormier was the only one to allow a run out of the bullpen as he gave up a solo home run to Jermaine Dye.

Orioles crush the Red Sox 11-5

OldTimeOriole — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 02:57:38 +0000

In a very suprising game, the Baltimore Orioles crushed the visiting Boston Red Sox by the score of 11-5. With the six run victory, the Orioles avoided the three game sweep at home which you never want to see happen. Atleast the O’s gave their fans a little something to cheer about on Wednesday night.

Chris Waters pitched five innings and allowed eight hits and five runs to get the win. Water certainately did not have his best stuff but it was enough to get the win as the offense scored so many runs. K. Mickolio was charged with one run in the eighth inning as well for the O’s but other then that the pitching staff was very good on Wednesday.

Ramon Hernandez and Melvin Mora both hit three run home runs to lead the O’s at the plate. Mora finished the game with four rbi while Hernandez had three. Brian Roberts added two rbi while Luis Montantez and Juan Castro added one rbi each.

Orioles score eight runs in the eighth inning and beat the Indians 11-6

OldTimeOriole — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 13:47:13 +0000

The Baltimore Orioles used a big eight run eighth inning to beat the Cleveland Indians on Thursday night. When it was all said and done, the O’s came out on top by the score of 11-6. The O’s pounded out 17 hits to score their 11 runs. This was a big offensive game for both teams as the pitching staffs both threw the ball terribly.

Kevin Millar had three rbi to lead the time while Lou Montanez, Ramon Hernandez, and Juan Castro had two runs batted in each. Melvin Mora and Aubrey Huff both chipped in with an rbi each of their own. (I should mention that Huff cleared waivers but it is unknown if he will be traded to a team like the Brewers)

Orioles starting pitcher Daniel Cabrera was charged with eight hits and three runs in 5 2/3 innings. D. Cabrera ended up with the no decision as Fernando Cabrera got the win. Alberto Castillo made things interesting in the ninth inning when he gave up four hits and three runs. Talk about the offense coming back and picking up the pitching staff with those eight runs late in the game.

Four Orioles pitchers are hammered in 13-3 loss to the Yankees

OldTimeOriole — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:36:24 +0000

It sure wasn’t the Orioles day on Wednesday afternoon as they were beaten by the New York Yankees 13-3. The Orioles were attempting to sweep the Yankees in the three game series but the Yankees had other thoughts. Those thoughts were lets light up every Orioles pitcher that comes into the game!

Dennis Sarfate was the starter for the O’s and he gave up two hits and five runs in only four innings of action. Sarfate took the loss and is now 4-2 on the season. Brian Burres was up next and he allowed four runs in only 1 1/3 innings. Fernando Cabrera recorded only two outs as he was charged with three runs. And not to be left out, Alberto Castillo gave up one run.

Nick Makakis, Aubrey Huff, and Juan Castro all had one rbi each for the birds but it wasn’t nearly enough.

The Orioles are now off until Friday when they will take on the Seattle Mariners in Seattle.

I will not have any updates on the blog until August 12th or so because I will be out of town attending a conference for the next few weeks. If there is a Orioles fan out there that would like to write and do some game recaps, please email me by clicking the contact us link at the top of the page and we will talk.

Thanks, Cliff!
