Baseball’s Savior

While it’s nice having the Red Sox on the schedule for sheer excitement, it’s also nice having the Orioles and Devil Rays on there just to make the schedule a little easier.  Maybe one day, the Orioles will be able to find their way back to the glory years in the 1970s but I’m not holding my breath.

The Orioles actually took the opener on Friday.  Cory Lidle was shelled early and didn’t even last six innings.  From there though, the pitchers did just enough to win.  Nice solid series.

The Yankees will probably clinch sometime early next week.  They have Tampa starting tomorrow then the Red Sox come to town.  Normally it’d be a huge series.  This year, it’s more like the Red Sox funeral.
