Are the Orioles our Washington Generals?
Meet the Orioles - the new automatic 'W' for the Red Sox. They look like a dangerous team, don't they?
The Sox blasted the hapless Orioles last night in Baltimore, 11-1, making it 12 consecutive wins over the O's. Josh Beckett pitched lights out, and the hitting stars were Mike Lowell (he hits triples too!), Wily Mo Pena, who belted an opposite field homer, and the Captain, who's been mired in a nasty slump. 'Tek hit one deep to straightaway center from the right side of the plate, so hopefully a good omen for him. We need his bat.
Making things even better, the Yanks lost to Texas last night 4-2. Mussina pitched well, but Farnsworth couldn't get it done in relief. Best team $200 million can buy.
