The Orioles Lose, This Sucks

Well the Orioles win streak was ended today thanks to a shaky bullpen and Gavin Floyd. The O's started out promising, taking a 2-0 lead thanks to an RBI single and a home run by Adam Jones. Speaking of Adam Jones, look at this beauty that came in the mail today:

$8.00 for Adam Jones' autograph AND a piece of his jersey? That sounds like a bargain to me. He crushed a home run into the bleachers and I was feeling pretty good about a 5 game winning streak, but the bullpen gave up single runs in the 7th, 8th and 9th and the O's lost 4-2.

You may not know but I have $100 bet this season going with my friend Josh that the Orioles wont be the worst team in baseball. Yeah, yeah I know it may have been a stupid bet, especially after the O's started 2-16, but I didn't think their ineptitude would continue. I was mistaken. Luckily for me, the Pirates have been nearly as crappy and the O's are only 2.5 games behind. If the O's can pull this one out for me I am probably going to be even more unbearable about the Orioles then I am right now (yes that is possible).

Tomorrow is another day, and as I'm writing this the Pirates blew a 5-2 lead in the 9th, so maybe there will be some consolation for this loss.
