A 7 – 1 lead over the “mighty” Yankees in the 9th inning feels pretty good; especially when their offense has whimpered through the entire game.

The O’s dropped a tough one to John Lackey and the Halos (who apparently have shown the O’s no mercy ever since I labeled them overrated – great, let’s see how the standings look in September; I guarantee a October 5th tee time starring Mike Scoscia). The O’s end a turbulent month of June [...]
