I think Andy Mac realizes there's only one solution...

Also, remember that we've lost almost all of our starting pitchers due to injuries.

I understand, but it was much worse than that the past two games.  Your bullpen couldn't get me out if they had to, and there is a complete and utter lack of focus in the field and at the plate.  That team is really going through the motions right now - the last 20 games especially.  This is not the same team that came through Anaheim in June and at least put up a fight.  I can see now how they've been no hit and set an MLB record for a loss in the last 30 days.
 
 I think my favrotie part was when the MASN announcer asked Trembley during the inning if there was a lack of focus in the 5 run first inning and he said no - but at the first instance he had to get the players attention he threw a tirade and got tossed, the sole purpose of which was to refocus his players.  Classic.

I'm not trying to say that that's why the O's are losing, but it doesn't help.
 
 They seem to do this every august, but this year, it's so much worse than the past.

Anybody have any opinions on whether the O's made the right move to rehire Tremblay for next year?
 
 Given the right players and owner, is he good major league manager material? Better or worse than Perlozzo? Mazilli?

given the right players and owner right there just invalidates your prior question.
 
 since you dont have either, the coach doesnt much matter.
 
  i think its hard to say whos better or worse, though.

I think the O's need to go w/o a manager.  It seems like they play really well (for them) under interim managers.  As soon as they hire one permanently, they lose every game.

Yes, and I think you will see him succeed elsewhere in the future.
 
 I don't think Mike Scioscia could succeed under this owner, and I think Mike is the best manager in baseball.

now you o's fans are starting to realize what it's like to be a pirates fan.

My theory is they need to go without Miguel Tejada, or at least make him the DH.
 
 The O's actually had a winning record when Tejada was out injured. Coincidence?

The O's haven't had a good season since 1996.  I know that's not as long as some teams, but I feel like we've suffered enough.
 
 I am tired of watching Baseball Tonight and only hearing bad things about the Orioles.  (with the exception of Bedard who is now injured and out for the season)

Well, they should be doubly upset as their payroll has been at least double (on the average) over the last 20 years, but I get your point.

The O's won the World Series in 1983. All teams being equal, they're really not due to win another one until 2013. So O's fans need to quit their bitching!
