"BALTIMORE (WJZ)– A flight carrying the Baltimore Orioles had to make an emergency landing in Jacksonville, Fla. on Sunday night after a fire on board.

The plane was en route to Tampa where the Orioles are scheduled to play a series with the Rays starting Monday night.

The fire was in the kitchen area.

“They came on and told us we needed to make an emergency landing, and then we were nearly free falling for a few minutes as they raced to get us on the ground as fast as possible,” Ned Rice, who is with the baseball operations department of the Orioles, posted on his Facebook page.

Rice said the team is still in Jacksonville while fire crews inspect the plane.

No injuries have been reported."


Damn Yankees trying to win division anyway possible.

Yeah tomorrow is probably a guaranteed loss. Especially after a double-header. Harrison needs to be good on Tuesday because I don't want the season coming down to Dumpster.

Peter Angelos, the owner of the team, was questioned after the incident. "Planes these days are death traps!" Mr. Angelos was quoted as saying.

He continued, "A fire is bad because it fills up the cabin with smoke, meaning the people can't breathe. That is why I have always argued that we should be able to open the windows, so we can get some oxygen in there. But no one listens to me."

Angelos then shrugged his shoulders and chuckled awkwardly.

It's been pretty fascinating to follow Oakland since day 1 of this season. Since losing Sizemore for the year, having Fuentes and Balfour blow games left and right early on, going on a 10 game losing streak while scoring literally no more than 2 runs a game, having a lineup where nobody hit over .250 for the first quarter of the season, to where they are now.

Baseball can be a funny sport sometimes.

I remember when Oakland came into Arizona, they looked horrible. Blowing 6 run leads in the late innings, giving up home runs left and right, poor baserunning. I also think they were toward the tail end of the AL at the time. Their second half has been legendary. Moneyball 2: Beanesanity imminent?

On June 1 the A's and Astros were both 22-30, 69 wins since then.

That's not a bad thing 'cause we'll win that one game. Then it'll two games, then 3...etc

it will be odd if a division winner only plays one game :p (I fully expect the Os to take 2/3 from the rays and the red sox to take 2/3 against the yankees if not sweep them lol)

May the Schwartz be with you
Great to see the Os (and hopefully the As) in the playoffs this year. Still not use of the idea of this wildcard game...I keep on thinking the wildcard teams are like they were last year lol

Here's the biggest problem with the wins against replacement argument: Even the people who invented the 'stat' can't agree on how to calculate it!

Much as Dickey has seemingly been disrespected, however, the seamhead assault on Cabrera has been nothing short of mind-boggling. Here’s a guy having one of the greatest offensive seasons in history, on the cusp of being the first Triple Crown winner since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967, and yet there is this clamor from the sabermetrics gallery that Cabrera must be penalized for his slowness afoot and supposed defensive shortcomings. To hear them tell it, if Cabrera winds up leading the league in batting, homers, RBI, slugging and total bases, and being second in hits and runs, it will still pale in comparison to L.A. Angels super rookie Mike Trout leading the league in runs, stolen bases and . . . WAR.

The fact that anyone supports Hillary boggles my mind... I have tested between 130-160 on IQ tests
Man, that Holland vs. Napoli game was pretty great.

Also, Branduil - you are the best arm-chair manager/player ever. All I hear is you complaining about how terrible everyone is and how the whole team should be fired.

i always find it funny when these old school guys preach "the little things" defense an baserunning and then they hate something that tries to account for every facet of the game. (Also its funny trout is still the better player when you don't look at defense and positional adjustment, (he has been the better hitter this year)).

Also what the hell is he talking about with the dickey disrepect, the sabermetric community loves him. He has been one of the best starters in the NL this year.
