O’s slide grows to 12 games

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Dave Trembley was asked essentially the same question the previous night and the day before that, only it was far more difficult for him to answer Tuesday night.

So, the Orioles manager took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts and while staring at the wall in front of him, tried to sum up the misery of his team’s 12-game losing streak, secured by a 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field.

“I can’t give you an answer. I’ve run out of things to say. I think I’ve been cordial, direct, upfront, dealt with it as best as we possibly can, but I really have no explanation, no excuse,” said Trembley whose team now owns the longest losing streak in baseball this season and needs to win three of its final five games to avoid the third 100-loss season in franchise history.

“Unless you’re on the other side, it’s very difficult for me to explain to you what it’s been like,” he said. “Coming here and talking to you guys every night and doing the TV every night and meeting with people beforehand, and being a spokesman for the club, making sure the guys got a little bounce in the step, it’s been a test that we’ve all endured far too long and I’m looking forward to winning tomorrow night.”

Markakis voted Orioles’ MVP for 2009

The Orioles have spoken, and they’ve chosen Nick Markakis as their Most Valuable Player in an informal but comprehensive polling of the clubhouse. More than 20 players and the team’s manager responded to a recent survey regarding the team’s MVP, and Markakis edged Brian Roberts by a single vote.

And if that wasn’t close enough, a closer inspection of the ballot makes the point even clearer. Six players opted to split their choice between Markakis and Roberts, and one even divvied his choice between those two and Adam Jones. Jones and Brad Bergesen were the only other players to receive a single vote.

Jeremy Guthrie, who opted to cut his ballot into thirds, explained why the polling was so close.

“Each of them have done so much for the team, and all of them are so important that losing them would have a dramatic effect,” he said. “We see that now with Jones sidelined. And they all play key positions for us. Start to finish, Nick’s had a very solid season defensively and offensively. Brian’s shown again why he’s so important to our team, setting the table for us all year and having a tremendous second half. Adam Jones has obviously had a breakout season and he’s showed a lot of the potential that everyone saw in him.”

Roberts hopes to double up on records

Brian Roberts broke his own record in the Orioles’ 10-5 win over the Rays on Tuesday, and he’ll have his eyes on bigger game Wednesday and for the rest of the season. Baltimore’s second baseman set a new franchise record with his 52nd double of the year, and he’s just three away from tying the alltime mark for doubles by a switch-htter.

That record was set by Lance Berkman in 2001, and Roberts is also within striking distance of the all-time record for doubles by a second baseman. That one — 60 by Charlie Gehringer in 1936 — may be a little harder to reach. And for Roberts, it seems like everywhere he goes he finds people talking about the same topic.
