Worse & Worse

Man, this Orioles situation is getting out of hand...Sure, Wiggie just hit a 2-run homer to cut the lead to 3 in the 8th, but it's been another low day for the home town team. Clutch hitting continues to be a problem. Yeah, the Birds are facing O's-killer Andy Pettite, but there has to be an end to excuses...The truth is that our lineup doesn't scare any team in the AL, and it shows. Plus, Atkins is really burning my ass, despite his good batting average against Yankees pitching. He just cost himself an infield single by not running out a groundball down the third-base line. Atkins thought the ball was going to go foul, and didn't run it out. Pathetic...Then, to add insult to injury, Rick Kranitz was tossed from the game after having a legitimate beef about the strike zone. Yep, it's hard being an O's fan lately, and the misery against the Yankees continues...More later...
