Play it again: Orioles 7, Royals 4

A recap of the Orioles' 7-4 win over the Royals last night: OFF THE BAT It wasn't a good beginning for Orioles right-hander Steve Trachsel .

Well playing 500 ball with a quarter of the season almost gone is a miracle considering that the orioles have not hit at all. With that said i noticed some teams in the league have started to make some moves because veteran over the hill players have not performed. Just how long are we going to wait to do the same. Correct me if i am wrong but din't jamie walker allow another inherited runner to score. That is the 10th time that it has happened. If a guy is on the time for the sole purpose of getting 1 batter out when called upon and can't get that accomplished how many more chances does he keep getting. He is useless to this team right now and nobody else seem to notice or doesn't care,He is washed up and should be another salary eating casualty like gibbons. It's time to move on and give somebody else a chance to be sucessful. They made excuses for him last year saying that he was used wrong well what is the excuse this year.NONE

You know the one thing that i have noticed on this blog sites that stands out like a sore thumb is the fact when the orioles win there isn't that many people sending in emails. When they lose people strive on the negative and you have 50 emails on this site by now. I guess that is human nature because picking on negatives is a lot easier then talking about positive things. Oh and by the way just in case somebody comes back and makes a comment about why was i so negative towards jamie walker it's because what i said about him is backed up by facts and they usually tell the whole story about something.

Bob, with all due respect, you also have a problem with fans like myself, whom are passionate, die-hard Oriole fans, whether they are winning the 1983 Series, losing 107 games in 1988, or winning two in a row this year, passing the Yankees back into third place. And yes, I supported Trachsel BEFORE last night's game, and I STILL do. My other posts have documented that (Trachsel's VERY positive years with the Mets).

I don't have a problem with you i had a problem that one day when you left 20 postings in a row and i said enough is enough. I admire sombody that can be passionate about something in the good times as well as the bad.

OK. I get caught in in my passion ANYTIME someone starts to talk about my Orioles, Colts, and Bullets (Wizards). Since 1971, I could never stop rooting for all three teams.
