Game 2 of 162

New York Yankees 5 Baltimore Orioles 7       Two in a Row

I wonder what they were talking about? You think they’re worried about getting swept? That sure is a long walk for Wang. Will they ever get that elusive K? Two Games. Two Losses. No strikeouts recorded.

Tomorrow’s starter is A.J. Burnett and he led the A.L. in srikeouts with 231 K’s last year. I hope he gets at least one because that’s all that really matters…right???

Yes I’m being sarcastic. But I do hope A.J. stops the bleeding.

Hideki Matsui was 0 for 5 and Japan was watching to the tune of 12 million viewers.

Congratulations to Koji Uehara who made the transition from Japan and won his first official MLB start.

 The Orioles offense provided two runs in the first inning which helped settle the rookie pitcher who gave up only a run. Nick Markakis went 3-3 with 3 RBI’s and is leading many to believe in the future of the Orioles.

Nick Markakis signed a six year extension in February worth $66.1 million. 

The only bright spot was Derek Jeter’s two-run Home Run in the 9th inning with two outs and nothing to play for. The captain wouldn’t go down without some noise and brought some hope to the fans back in New York. 

Baltimore seeks to sweep the Yankees tomorrow at Camden Yards for the first time since 2005.
