Leading Off

Before getting into the podcast, a little housekeeping:

Don’t miss our special episode featuring Sam and Alan from Baltimorons. We were going to include it in this week’s show, but we realized that it would run at least 7 hours, and even we can’t listen to ourselves talk that long. Thanks again to the All Weather Fans in New York (2:15).
Check out Eutaw Street Report’s Fan Spotlight post featuring… us! Many thanks to the folks over at ESR for helping us build great community with other fans who take obsessing over the O’s way too seriously (3:40).
Don’t forget to get in on your chance to win WIIIIIIIIIILSON! by tweeting us with #sorrywilson (5:20)

Introducing the BEVys

The BEVys is an annual award show presented by the Bird’s Eye View podcast to recognize outstanding praise- and mock-worthy achievments by the Baltimore Orioles, their fans, related media, and anyone else who looks at us the wrong way (6:30).

The BEVys will be held during the All Star Break, as to give us something to talk about during the lull between games, and to look back at the first half, and determine focus for the second.

In the coming weeks, we will anounce categories, and post polls on the website so that listeners can help choose candidates and winners. The BEVys need your help! It’s important that you vote, provide ideas, and call us idiots, where necessary.

Everybody Hurts

We actually have something to talk about in The Brian Roberts Watch (11:35), and take a trip through the rest of the Medical Wing. Also covered:

Miguel Gonzalez (14:05) – is he still a Yankee killer?
Wei-Yin Chen (15:30) – the situation looks rather oblique
Jake Arrieta (17:30) – shoulder and ego still balky
Roster moves aplenty (20:07) – get a seat, the music is about to stop
Options for Saturday’s starter (23:20) – Warning: Scott makes a Jurrjens/Jergens joke.
Bottom of the order woes (29:05) – Flaherty, Reimold, Navarro, oh my!

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Who had a great week? Who had a terrible week? Who made us ashamed to be Orioles fans? Find out in this week’s GB&U (46:01).
