"Happy Sunday Dave Winfield Jersey , Camden Chatters! It’s a super slow day in Birdland. There is no general manager, no manager, nothing going on. The Orioles have interviewed seven people for the job but don’t seem to be in a huge hurry. But don’t they know that I’m dying to get this show on the road? It’s like they’re not even taking my feelings into account. So what does everyone have on the schedule for this beautiful fall day? It’s a little chilly out there but you’ll be fine with a jacket. It’s a super slow time of year for Orioles links, but I’ll tell you about one story that came up on my search about late bloomers and one-year wonders in the MLB. I clicked through to see which Oriole was on the list and why, and they had Brady Anderson written up a a one-year wonder. I’m not gonna link to that because it’s so stupid, but I wanted to tell you about it anyway. LinksOrioles' executive search, MASN hearing make November a critical month for franchise - Baltimore SunThis headline intrigued me because it's been awhile since we've heard anything about the MASN dispute, but there isn't really any other information other than that there is something happening with it this month. Maybe.Could Trumbo become trade chip later? - School of RochThis is an odd question to ponder at this time, especially since the "later" Roch references is in July. And even if Trumbo does get traded then, it'll be for hardly anything. I'm not gonna get on Roch too much, though, because it's hard finding things to write about the Orioles this time of year.Baseball lover uses insights, history and love for game in blog and Virginia-Born Project | Local | fredericksburg.comJackie Howell is a Virginia-based Orioles fan who has had a blog about the team since 2012.Is today your birthday?

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Giants lost another player and the New York Mets took a step toward getting one back as the clubs prepared for a three-game series that begins Friday night with one still clinging to a sliver of playoff hope.The Giants (67-68) began Thursday — an off day for both teams — seven games back in the National League West and 7 1/2 behind Milwaukee for the second NL wild-card spot, then fell another half-game back of the Brewers (75-60) after Milwaukee beat the Cincinnati Reds in an afternoon affair.Meanwhile, the Giants learned they’d also lost center fielder Steven Duggar, their hottest hitter of late Randy Jones Jersey , for the rest of the season with a torn labrum in his left shoulder.Article continues below ...“The timing is awful,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Duggar, who provided difference-making hits in wins over Texas on Sunday and Arizona on Monday. “He was really in a good place.”The three games against the Mets, the fourth-place team in the NL East, provide a short break from a heavyweight-laden September schedule in which the Giants will go up against teams ahead of them in the standings — Colorado, Milwaukee, Atlanta and Colorado again — for 12 straight games starting Monday.The Mets have done a good job playing spoiler while encountering a rough patch of their own schedule. They split four games against the Giants last week in New York as part of an 8-7 run against Philadelphia (3-2), San Francisco (2-2), Washington (2-1) and the Chicago Cubs (1-2).In the meantime, the Mets have been trying to get their own house in order, sending former All-Star third baseman David Wright to the minors in his bid to play this season despite recent neck, back and shoulder surgeries.Wright, who went 1-for-9 in two games for Triple-A Las Vegas this week, has rejoined the parent club in San Francisco http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-brad-hand-jersey , but solely to continue rehab for the time being.“We just haven’t seen that level of consistency of playing on a quantity or quality at this point,” Mets interim general manager John Ricco said this week, indicating that reinstating Wright to the major-league roster — even as they expand Saturday — was no sure thing.“Quite frankly as this point,” Ricco continued, “he hasn’t been able to make some of the benchmarks that were laid out for him (as he began his rehab stint).”Wright hasn’t played in a major-league game since May 2016.Zack Wheeler (9-6, 3.46 ERA), dealt from the Giants to the Mets for Carlos Beltran in 2011, will make his third career start in San Francisco since the trade. He’s 1-1 with a 4.22 ERA in the first two.The former No. 6 overall pick of the 2009 draft by the Giants has lived up to the early projections since the All-Star break, a stretch during which he has the second-best ERA in the NL (1.17) in seven starts.He’s 2-1 with a 3.45 ERA in five lifetime starts against the Giants.Rookie left-hander Andrew Suarez (5-9, 4.42), coming off seven shutout innings in a 5-3 win over Texas last Saturday, is scheduled to open the series for the Giants. He has never faced the Mets.
