Mark Hendrickson is trying to re-invent himself at the age of 38. The Orioles, especially manager Buck Showalter, believe he can.

In announcing the extensions of executive vice president Dan Duquette and manager Buck Showalter through the 2018 season, Orioles ownership representative Louis Angelos applauded the duo¿s commitment to building a long-term winner ¿ and not making a move this offseason that might jeopardize the future.

How would I rank the five American League teams in position of finish for 2013? Certainly, rosters aren¿t set yet.

Now that the Blue Jays continue to load up this offseason -- agreeing to acquire NL Cy Young award winner R.A. Dickey from the Mets pending signing him to an extension -- I¿m continuing to get questions about why the Orioles are being so quiet.

When it became apparent that the New York Mets were willing to deal 2012 National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, the Orioles had to be a consideration. But, according to one industry source, the sides decided there wasn¿t really a fit.

Orioles closer Jim Johnson finished seventh in the American League Cy Young voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America voters.

Showalter was announced Wednesday night as one of three finalists for the Baseball Writers' Association of America's award after leading the Orioles to a 93-69 record and their first playoff appearance since 1997.

The Bel Air Cultural Arts Commission has announced that the fourth annual Town of Bel Air Film Festival will be held this weekend - Oct. 19-21 - at the Bel Air Reckord Armory at 37-41 North Main St.

R.A. Dickey, who is chasing a 20-win season with an improbable knuckleball, appears to be a thinker as well as pitcher. He has already written a memoir, and has a deal to write three children's books.

Brian Matusz didn't pitch well, but the Orioles still can't hit when it counts.

It¿s true that the Orioles have faced a fierce lineup of arms over the past seven games, but with another dreadful offensive performance Saturday night against the Washington Nationals, their bats have suddenly gone silent.

Don't ask the Orioles manager to offer glowing praise of the opposition -- especially after a loss

It was Buck Showalter, along with Orel Hershiser and Mark Connor, who told R.A. Dickey in the mid-2000s in Texas that he wasn't going to make it as a big league pitcher. Unless, maybe, if he could master a knuckler.

On Monday, Dickey, arguably the most difficult pitcher to hit in the big-leagues right now, made that advice come back to haunt Showalter in a 5-0 New York Mets win.
