A week of stellar pitching performances has the 1983 Orioles three wins away from the world championship.

Remember when Ted Hendricks, Mike Flanagan and Lenny Moore were in the news?

The 1983 Orioles hit six home runs in one game and sprinkle five others over the course of a 5-1 week as they start to pull away in the American League East.

The 1983 Orioles' slump continues in mid-August, then the team finds its footing.

No Mike Flanagan, Tippy Martinez or Jim Palmer on a West Coast road trip? No problem for the 1983 Orioles.

Slumping Orioles Dennis Martinez, Cal Ripken Jr. and Ken Singleton rise from the depths while Tippy Martinez gets the A's to go fishing. Meanwhile, the 1983 O's move back into first place.

The 1983 Orioles traveled west, but there were no stops at Yosemite.

The Orioles' West Coast trip went off the rails, but it wasn't without a few highlights.

Pitching propels the Orioles into a place they'll spend much of the season: first.

The Orioles lost on Opening Day in 1983. It was hardly a sign of things to come.

Twenty-five years ago, Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, abandoned a year earlier when the Orioles migrated downtown to Oriole Park at Camden Yards, enjoyed the start of one last fling with professional baseball, as the minor league Bowie Baysox opened their inaugural season there.

SportsOnEarth.com recently ranked the Top 10 starts by rookies in the October Classic ¿ using the Bill James-created metric ¿game score¿ as the determining factor ¿ and Boddicker¿s complete-game three-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies was chosen No. 1.

He had Harpo Marx hair, kept a stuffed gorilla atop his locker and uncorked a harrowing scream before each game. "Stan The Man Unusual," teammate Mike Flanagan called him, so Don Stanhouse had T-shirts made with that moniker and a likeness of himself sticking out his tongue.

It was nearly eight years ago to the day when Andy MacPhail stood behind a podium and outlined his immediate plans to fix a once-proud baseball organization that was in a 10-year tailspin. This past week, MacPhail, sounding every bit as assured, vowed to do those same three things as he accepted another significant challenge: resurrecting the Philadelphia Phillies, an organization in steep decline.

Buck Showalter will leave the team in late April for the memorial service for his father-in-law, who died Thursday.

It has been nearly three years since the death of Orioles pitching great Mike Flanagan, but friends and family members in his hometown of Manchester, N.H., have made sure there will be a permanent reminder of his athletic achievements and his contributions to their community.

With his sixth-inning solo shot, Davis picked up his 20th homer of the season and 150th of his career.

Sunday was the one-year anniversary of the death of Orioles Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver, so it's natural to think about Weaver's impact on the franchise and the game this time of the year.

It certainly looks like Orioles ownership made the abrupt decision to sidestep a costly arbitration process and force a deal that sent Jim Johnson to the Oakland Athletics for relatively little in return.

What I really want to know is whether you, Mr. or Mrs. Orioles fan, want Mike Mussina to go into the Baseball Hall of Fame as an Oriole.

Thirty years after he pitched for the Orioles in the World Series, Sammy Stewart is out of prison and free of a drug addiction that ruined his life for nearly two decades.
