So far this weekend there was good news and bad news in sandracookie's World of Baseball. The bad news is that in what is probably the only baseball game that Andrew and I will get to attend this season, the Orioles suffered a heart-breaking loss last night to the White Sox when the 5-5 tie was broken in the bottom of the ninth inning by a Brian Anderson RBI. What was really frustrating was that the Orioles had given themselves the same opportunity in their half of the 9th when they had the bases loaded and only one out. However, it was an exciting game to watch, and the good news is that the Orioles had won the first game of the double-header on Saturday afternoon in exciting fashion - a 3 run 9th inning which included 2 errors and a wild pitch by the Sox (thanks reliever Octavio Dotel!). This game was needed as ammunition for the taunting Sox fans sitting behind us during the night game. Further good news is that Boston has lost their last 4 games, the Yanks have lost their last 3, and thus the O's are now tied for first place!!
This is how the AL east standings should stay, with the team with the highest talent-to-$$$ ratio on top!!! Also, the Phillies won last night when Ryan Howard broke out of his slump with a 2-run homer. The Phillies are now 14-11, only 0.5 game out of 1st place.
