I wish, the AL East is ridiculous. I'm still only 7.5 out. Just need to get better pitching, but with this staff, don't know if that will ever come.

Thanks for following man. Good to hear from you. I know, it's been a rough start. Hopefully after my next game and get my day off, I'll turn it around some.

Orioles unable to get key hits as Yankees complete sweep!!!!!

Baltimore, MD - Melky Cabrera was the key performer in this afternoon's ballgame at Oriole Park. Melky delivered a huge 2-run homerun in the 6th inning to propel the Yankees to a 3-0 lead. The O's struck back in the bottom half of the inning with two runs of their own off an error by Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi that plated Melvin Mora and a single by Payton to score Aubrey Huff. The O's would then get runners to 1st and 3rd in the same inning with two outs trailing by one. Ramon Hernanez would fly out to center to end the threat. Cabrera would then once again plate a runner in the 8th inning as he outhustled an inning ending double play ball to allow Giambi to score and push the lead to 4-2. With the O's trailing 5-2 in the bottom of the 9th, they would get two runners on with 2 outs for Nick Markakis, who would fly out to right field to end the game giving the Yankees the sweep and Mariano Rivera his 6th save of the season. The O's finally have the day off tomorrow as they head west to face Seattle and in hope of a quick turnaround to their bad start. Fortunately for the Orioles, the Blue Jays continue to lose as well and the O's remain 7.5 games out.

Thanks for following man, as Razor said, yes they are. I hope they make some soon as that last lost was brutal. So many opportunities I have with this team, and so many letdowns. LOL!!!
