July 29, 201214 yr Baltimore called up Lew Ford today. Good luck Lew!Calling up Ford shows that the Orioles have done it with mirrors so far. How on earth are they above .500?
July 29, 201214 yr DFAd Steve Pearce last wk.....guy who was starting for em in left field.......grasping at straws
July 29, 201214 yr Man, we could've traded Liriano to the O's for Lew Ford, Pat Neshek, Steve Tolleson and a low-level starting pitcher...I bet!
July 29, 201214 yr Ford was doing really good in the international league, was wondering about this yesterday if he'd get a chance. Feel good story for him getting an opportunity. gotta wonder now where Dustin Mohr and Mike Ryan are..
July 30, 201214 yr He was out of pro baseball as of 2007. He played 2008 in Japan, 2010 in Mexico, and most of 2009, 2011, and part of 2012 in an independent league. Quite a journey for a guy to get back in the majors at 35.

Quite a journey for a guy to get back in the majors at 35. He as out of MLB baseball since 2007. He has been playing "pro baseball" all along.
July 31, 201214 yr Saw him play tonight at Yankee stadium, not an awe inspiring performance as he didn't make solid contact all night. Hopefully he gets a couple hits before he is cast off. Always liked Lew and I am hoping he can succeed even though all signs point to the opposite at this point.
July 31, 201214 yr I still wish I could have been there for the "RRRREEEEEWWWW!!!" chants in his Japanese league games.
July 31, 201214 yr I still wish I could have been there for the "RRRREEEEEWWWW!!!" chants in his Japanese league games.I am offended. Mods please BAN him!!
July 31, 201214 yr Lew Ford is probably the most well-loved non-Twin out there right now. Here's to Lew; hope he finds success.
