Baltimore Orioles Baseball

On May 30th, I released the June Preview:http://baltimoresportsandlife.blogspot.com/2009/05/orioles-june-preview.htmlAs the Month comes to an end, let’s review.Baltimore ended May at 23-28. They were 16-13 at OPACY, and 7-15 on the road.I listed 15 goals and thoughts...

The Washington Nationals came to Camden Yards tonight, and the Orioles broke-out the bats. Going to the bottom of the 7th, the O's lead 11-1. Oriole starter Brad Bergesen went 6 innings, allowing 4 hits, 1 er, 2 bb's, with 5 k's. With the 7th, and 8th inning at-bats...
