Another Loss...

The Los Angelos Angels annihilated the Orioles last night, 11-6.

The O's have now tied their season high losing streak at five games, and are seven under .500 for the first time this season.

And it gets worse...it's Sunday. The Birds haven't won a series since they faced the Chicago Cubs, and are spiraling into the worst stretch of baseball seen from this team. A loss today would be 16 straight on Sundays...a new record! Go O's!

Radhames Liz was the most recent starter to go less than six innings (5 and 2/3) and eventually took the loss. Aubrey Huff hit a 3-run bomb and Luke Scott connected on a 2-run shot, but the damage had been done and the bullpen didn't fare much better than Liz. Overall, the O's pitching staff gave up four homers in the game...

I was planning on attending the game today, but with rain in the forecast and no incentives from the front office (they've given up hope, too...) I may just stay home today...I'll let you know either way...Garrett Olson takes the mound and opposes 11-game winner Ervin Santana...should be a good one.

I'm not going today either for both of the same reasons....will watch it on TV...hope no one gets struck by lighting if they do win...this might be the one where there's only a few left in the stands to celebrate a comeback win in extra innings...
