Buck Showalter has never lasted more than four years at any of his previous managerial stops, but his tenure in Baltimore seems to be cresting as he prepares to manage the Orioles in the postseason.

Interleague play and widespread television exposure have made baseball's All-Star Game less of an event.

This is unsettling for Seattle. A football dynasty in a city of book readers and mountain climbers? Somebody may need to pass a joint around -- which is no problem. Up there, it's legal.

Sports Illustrated's "Baseball's Greatest" book lists Cal Ripken Jr's as the second greatest all-time shortstop, while Brooks Robinson is listed as the fifth-best third basemen in history.

In hiring Braves special assistant Dom Chiti, who will likely be announced early next week, the Orioles brought in a knowledgeable baseball man who both Showalter and Wallace are familiar with.

Orioles first baseman Chris Davis tied the franchise record for homers in a season with his 50th home run on Friday night. His next home run will pass with Brady Anderson's team mark set in 1996.

Jason Hammel has no structural damage in his right elbow.

Economic impact would likely exceed $50 million if Baltimore hosted 2016 MLB All-Star game

In a game that featured the top two home-run hitting teams in the majors, the Orioles blasted Toronto left-hander Mark Buehrle for three homers, including Adam Jones¿ three-run blast, to give the Orioles a 8-5 win over the Blue Jays in Friday night¿s series opener in front of an announced 42,660 at Camden Yards.

Well, after beating the Orioles 5-4, on a scorching Saturday afternoon before 42,678 in the Bronx, the Yankees have risen like a phoenix and flown a half-game ahead of the Orioles and into second place in the American League East.

Chris Davis now has as many homers and RBIS as he had in his breakout season in 2012.

Orioles third baseman is on pace to break the all-time record for most doubles in a single season

Leading off the second inning, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis sent Yankees starter Hideki Kuroda's 2-1 pitch into the left field seats for his major league-leading 31st home run this season.

The Orioles are one of the leaders in a trend that has swept baseball in recent seasons — the use of defensive shifts.

In building to his breakout season, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis learned that he couldn't overpower every challenge in life.

Former Baltimore Sun Orioles writer Buster Olney told me back in the 1990s that he thought Roberto Alomar was the best all-around player in the game. I'm don't think I fully agreed with him at the time, but he definitely wasn't very far from correct.

Chris Davis' astonishing start to this season hasn't occurred by accident. Through 12 games, he's putting up numbers that are only fit for video games. But it's the result of the 27-year-old Orioles first baseman realizing that he can truly get more with less.
