Orioles vs. Twins: Baltimore celebrates Camden Yards's 20th anniversary season …

Posted on April 7, 2012 by

All through the offseason, we Orioles fans have been mocked by the punditocracy and in turn by all those in their sway. For good reason, to be sure. Not by accident does a team get rejected by its entire first slate of GM

By Dan Connolly The Baltimore Sun Showalter announced the obvious, saying that Jim Johnson would get the call today if the Orioles had the lead in the ninth. He told Johnson via text earlier this week, after congratulating him on the birth of his son.

The 30-year-old Galarraga, who signed a minor league deal with the Orioles in January, was released from the Orioles Triple-A squad to make room for starter Dana Eveland, who was assigned to the team last week.

The Orioles had signed the 30-year-old SFX client to a minor league deal in January following a difficult 2011 season. Galarraga came within one out of throwing a perfect game for the Tigers in 2010, but the 2011 season

Passover begins Friday at sundown and that means it's time to eat matzah, find the afikomen and avoid most of the other items of the seder plate (and possibly some relatives, as well).
