Orioles Update
Today's game sucked. It reeked. It was the second loss in a row. But against one of the best teams in baseball the Birds managed to split the series. The Indians are HOT HOT HOT, and it's great that we took two from them. But we had the momentum, and we lost the last two. Not only that, but Steve Traschel, yet again, gave a strong performance only to watch it get tossed into the garbage by the bullpen.
Walking in runs? Grand slams? This is not what 40+ million was supposed to get this team. There is lots of anti-Perlozzo sentiment in the blog world right now, particularly with today's decision to pull Trax after only 88 pitches.
In other good news, Adam Loewen will be out until September so he will be real fresh when the O's don't make the post-season. I'm sure he, Benson and Wright are having a great time on the DL.
To fill his slot in the rotaion, the O's have called up Jon Leicester, who last pitched in 2005. He had a torn ACL and missed all of last season in the minors.
The next 12 games for the O's feature the Devil Rays, the Red Sox, the Blue Jays and the Nationals. I say the O's are lucky if they go 6 and 6.
I find your blog pretty neat. Keep on blogging.
