The Baltimore Orioles lost last night, 11-4. The winner of this game was the Toronto Blue Jays. This game was ugly. As a matter of fact, kid's should shield their eyes from this: The O's left 11 men on base in this game. That's terrible. A little league team could do better then that. Well, not really but you get the point. More facts to read with caution: This was the 17th game this year in which the Orioles have given up 10 runs or more. It was also their 25th loss in 34 games. Look here, another ugly fact. (The world is just filled with ugly facts, isn't it?) Starter Brian Burres went 3 1/3 innings, giving up 7 runs. All 7 of those runs were earned.
The Blue Jay's runs came in bunches as the scored 3 runs in the 2nd, 3rd, and 7th innings. The Orioles did get some runs as they scored 3 runs in the 5th inning on 5 hits and 1 error. They also scored again in the 7th inning, but it was too little, too late as this game was already decided.
In more news, reliever Dany Baez will likely miss all of next season with an elbow injury. Baez will have Tommy John surgery. My take on this: He won't be missed much by me. Baez is 0-6 with a 6.44 ERA in 53 appearances. Now you tell me, is he really worth a 3 year, 19 million dollar contract? - John T.

09/27/2007---in wednesday night's game i think victor zambrano reminded toronto why they let him go...setting an oriole record for the most runs allowed in the first inning...he had a really 'off' night..birkins and liz did well...held the jays to the eight runs, however they couldn't gain enough ground to beat them. awesome catch by payton in the beginning...that probably saved us a run no doubt! looking forward to jeremy guthrie pitching tonight...trembley's holding him to 75 pitches, hopefully they're good ones! ~jbt~ i hear corey patterson is a free agent..you think they'll keep him?? he's got such awesome speed, i miss him out there, i wish his ankle would get better.
