Orioles manager Buck Showalter tried to bite his tongue when asked about the overturned replay call that led to his first ejection of the season during the Orioles 8-3 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards.

Buck Showalter has been frustrated by the ambiguity of baseball's new replay review system, so when a call was overturned against the Orioles in the seventh inning of the club's 8-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday afternoon, the manager wanted some answers.

The Orioles suddenly have an offense that is clubbing the ball, a pitching staff that is holding the line and a fan base that is packing the stadium, hooting and hollering throughout the game.

The Orioles resumed talks with prospective free agents and possible trade partners during the first official day of the winter meetings Monday, and executive vice president Dan Duquette remains confident he will return to Baltimore with a new acquisition.

Orioles manager Buck Showater is never one to overanalyze his players, so it was interesting to hear him say that right-hander Jake Arrieta was ¿lucky¿ that the Orioles¿ 5-1 loss to Detroit was being played in Comerica Park¿s expansive outfield and not Camden Yards.

Arrieta received Monday¿s opportunity by circumstance. He struggled in his past two starts at Triple-A Norfolk, but the Orioles needs to fill a hole Monday when right-hander Jason Hammel couldn¿t start due to a stomach virus.

The 2013 baseball season could be unlike any other in history, with an unprecedented wave of suspensions possible by the All-Star break in the mushrooming Biogenesis scandal.

The Detroit Tigers are star-studded; the San Francisco Giants are fate-tempters. Should be more drama than Jersey Shore, right (and nearly as awful hairdos/facial hair thanks to the Giants)?
