Baltimore Orioles Baseball
Notes from yesterday
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/boxscore.jsp?gid=2009_03_28_balmlb_slnmlb_1Eaton went 5innings, allowing 9hits, 5er, 4bb, and 3k's...... my guess is the only thing the team currently cares about, is his ability to throw 5innings. Albers pitched yet another scoreless inning,...

Baltimore Sun – Baez out of the running for the rotation
