A lineup that included four current and former major leaguers led the Bowie Baysox past the Curve 9-6 in the second game of a four-game series Saturday night at Prince George's Stadium.

The Baltimore Orioles ' fantastic start to the season is even more surprising when one considers the injuries they have had, but with several key players set to return sooner rather than later the Orioles could improve on their already impressive record.

Amid all the buzz about Adam Jones' possible contract extension today, there's still a game tonight at Camden Yards.

Zach Britton is scheduled to make his first rehab start on Saturday and if all goes well he could be promoted to the Majors immediately, making one wonder who he should replace in the Orioles rotation.

With Brian Roberts set to start his rehab assignment today, it raises the question of how the Baltimore Orioles should handle him upon his return.

There are numerous reasons the first-place Orioles have emerged as the majors' surprise team.

Power hitters come into each new season with the expectation that they will hit a number of home runs, close to their career average.

The title of this piece is a question I've been pondering for a week or so: What's the point where we should stop looking at a team's hot start as merely lucky and chance, and start to think that hey, maybe these guys are for real? Because as it stands right now, the Rays and Orioles are duking it out for first place in the AL East, and as Grant ... (more)

The Birds did get beaten up by the Rangers a bit, but who hasn't. The Orioles still have the second-best record in the American League, lead the league in homers, are getting solid starting pitching and shut down bullpen work.

The Orioles entered Thursday's doubleheader with the hot-hitting Rangers focused on survival.

Texas Top 1st - UMPIRES: Home,Jerry Meals; First, Gary Darling; Second, Paul Emmel; Third, Chris Conroy; - Ian Kinsler lined out to short.

Since his breakout 2009 season - when he hit 35 homers, batted .305 and earned a big fat contract - he has been among the weakest-hitting first basemen in the league, manning a position typically held by the game's best power hitters.

Tim Teufel spotted the flaw immediately, watching game film this offseason of David Wright's defense at third base.

Fantasy baseball is in full swing , and as we approach mid-May, you probably have a pretty accurate impression of your team's greatest strengths, as well as its biggest weaknesses.

Weather permitting, the best record in Major League Baseball is on the line tonight.

Concerned about poor defense and a lack of depth at third base in the minor leagues, the Baltimore Orioles will work out Miguel Tejada in Sarasota.

Or as Michael the Kay said"It makes you wonderwhy is he even on the team?" I was pleasantly surprised to find that Reynolds was not the worst player in Major League Baseball, not by a long shot.
