Before anything else, I want to extend my thanks to Roch Kubatko for the shout out . That’s very, very cool.
On to some news and analysis…
The Orioles have made an offer to Brian Roberts , but aren’t close on an extension. I’d put the chances of him re-signing at ...

I’m more and more glad each day that he didn’t sign here :
Teixeira said that one of the reasons he signed with the Yankees was because of their willingness to spend money, including the additions of starting pitchers CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett earlier this offseason.

Looks like the Brian Roberts for Gavin Floyd rumor is nothing more than that — rumor. And, apparently, a pretty stale one.
According to this Hot Stove digest at MLB.com :
A rumor that has spread like wildfire — Gavin Floyd for Brian Roberts — was doused by the Daily ...

That’s right, it’s back. The Baltimore Sports Media Approval Ratings have returned for a “hey, have we really not done this since August?” edition.
This week’s candidate is Scott Garceau , freshly-minted afternoon drive radio guy, former voice of the Ravens , ...

It’s 2009 and the Ravens are still playing football.
The defense put on another amazing show in Miami as Ed Reed made his case for defensive player of the year on a national stage. Chad Pennington and the rest of the Miami offense couldn’t handle it and were chewed up.
Pennington was under ...

Anybody who claims to know what’s going to happen in a playoff football game is either lying or a fool.
Nobody picked the Chargers over the Colts yesterday. Almost nobody picked the Cardinals to beat the Falcons . These were supposed to be no-brainers, right? The Colts game certainly ...

Is eight years enough to change a culture? Maybe so.
Over the past week I’ve noticed a ton of optimism about the Ravens and their chances on Sunday against the Dolphins . I don’t think I’ve heard or read a single person seriously doubting the victory, and in fact the dudes ...

Well, here it is: the new look and new brand for The Loss Column . It’s been since October that I’ve been talking about this so I’m pretty stoked to finally make it happen.
The changes will probably take some getting used to. It’s a fairly radical departure from what ...

WIth yesterday’s surprise dismissal of Broncos institution Mike Shanahan , the total number of official NFL head coaching vacancies swells to four (along with the Browns , Lions , and Jets ). The Raiders and Rams might make new hires, as well, so the soil is fertile for anybody looking to ...

First thing: there’s a new post by Justin below this one, a home for all things Ravens as they march into the playoffs. Make sure to check it out. Now…
I’ve been talking about it since at least October (ugh), but it’s almost time for action. Loss Column 2.0 is just ...

One year after the Ravens completely melted down and gave the Dolphins the only victory of their season, both teams have managed to turn their fortunes around and will meet in the playoffs next Sunday.
The Ravens ended the season in style by blowing out Jacksonville at home. I have to admit I ...

The big news, as expected: the Ravens earned their spot in the playoffs today by manhandling the Jaguars down at M&T . The 27-7 final pretty much tells the tale. Jacksonville basically had no answer for anything the Ravens did.
Next up is a visit to the Dolphins on Sunday. As for the ...

How was everyone’s holiday? Anyone receive any notable sports-related gifts (aside from Greg ’s Orioles tix)?
If not, never fear, for the giving season isn’t over quite yet. It’s up to the Ravens to deliver the one thing the fans secretly jotted down on their wish ...

I haven’t read the other sites yet, but
it’s interesting that a lot of the discussion here
about Mark Teixeira ’s decision to fulfill prophecy has centered around the system that allowed it to happen. I think that makes for a great ...
It’s official now: Mark Teixeira has a new home, up north in the House That Steinbrenner Built . He’s a Yankee , and Orioles fans are suffering from a gigantic case of blue balls.
And so I plead again for perspective. I think we’re all guilty (here and at every other site ...

I was seriously considering spending most of this entry ripping on Willis McGahee for being a terrible running back. At that point in Saturday’s game, he had just missed a block, which led to Joe Flacco getting decked.
But then McGahee had his best run of the season. A little up-the-gut run ...
