| September 16, 2008 Orioles outfielder Nick Markakis may hit other pitchers as well as he does Toronto's Shaun Marcum, but he does not hit any better. Markakis has an ideal matchup when the two square off, as he has hit .471 (8-for-17) against Marcum in his career. Better yet, five of those hits have been home runs, and Markakis' career slugging percentage off the Toronto right-hander is 1.353. |
| September 14, 2008 Markakis hit his 19th and 20th home runs of the season on Sunday. |
| September 13, 2008 Nick Markakis went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Saturday's 12-2 loss to the Twins. His hit was a double, and marked the Orioles' only extra base hit in the contest (they only had six total hits). |

| August 13, 2008 The Orioles enjoyed a bevy of offense to get the 6-1 over Cleveland this evening, an effort led by outfielder Nick Markakis. Markakis went 3-for-4 at the plate, including his 36th double of the season to total two RBIs and one run scored. |
| August 12, 2008 It was an offensive duel in Cleveland this evening as the Orioles fell just short and were unable to keep the Indians off the board, falling 7-5.

| August 4, 2008 Nick Markakis has been a boon to fantasy teams this season, but his match-up tonight means that could be discontinued, for one game at least.

| March 4, 2008 Nick Markakis and the Orioles were not able to work out a new contract by Tuesday's deadline, so the club renewed his current deal, according to the AP. "Unfortunately, while we were able to reach an agreement with everyone else on the roster that fit into that category, we werent with Nick," club president Andy MacPhail said. "Its not a terribly unusual thing in our industry. Its to be avoided if you can, but in this case we really werent able to find any common ground." After hitting .300 and knocking in 23 homers and 112 RBI in 2007, Markakis was hoping for a substantial raise from last year's $400,000 salary, but he'll make just $55,000 more in 2008. |
