About Tom »

University of Maryland student majoring in history and kinesiology. I have been a diehard Orioles fan since I was 5 years old, and we all know the Orioles fans that are left really must be diehard. Love sports in general, except for the whole Brett Favre fiasco.

Check this out. The O's have had a rough month of August, with 10 wins in 29 attempts (10-19 record). But I really like what I see in this team. They've been fun to watch throughout the month, even in the bad losses they've suffered. Here, I analyze how it's gone. Give it a look. Thanks!

Tom,


I've always been proud to have Andy MacPhail in the O's front office. His trades always seem to pan out. Here, I take a look at every trade he's made as an Orioles GM, dating back to 2008. Give it a look. Thanks!

Hey Tom,

The New York Yankees travel to Fenway to take on the Boston Red Sox tonight in a three-game series. What are the keys for the Red Sox to beat the Evil Empire?

Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section of my post!

I've always been interested with the Stephen Strasburg situation. The No. 1 overall pick, "best prospect ever", and all these ridiculously premature comparisons are thrown his way. It's August 12th, five days before the signing deadline. He still hasn't signed. Who is to blame for this taking so long? Is there anyone to blame?

Me, Lawrence, and Chuck Johnson put together a nice O's roundtable. Was a ton of fun to put together. Check it out.

The O's No. 4 prospect, Jake Arrieta, had a great start at Double A, going 6-3 with a 2.59 ERA, 70 K and 23 BB, earning a deserved promotion to Norfolk. He has struggled a bit there, with a 4-5 record and a 4.70 ERA. Should we be worried? To find out, click/read/comment/send me hate mail on the link below.
