Rain Cools Off O's Bats in Loss

Hey! The O's didn't show up tonight...why should I? Seriously though, the Birds lost 6-3 to the Seattle Mariners Thursday night.

The O's second straight loss put them 10 games under .500 for the first time this season...and 11 games out of first...

I'll be back Friday evening to finish this post...I don't want to be unprofessional, but you can't take words back after you say them...let's just say that I'm extremely upset with the Orioles and their management...

Comments?

O.K. I'm back...just what happened out there on Thursday? The O's gave Garrett Olson his first win as a Mariner...what an embarrassment. If Koji Uehara was on a strict pitch count (70-80 pitches), why even bring him back in after a rain delay that lasted nearly a half an hour, in his first start since coming back from the DL? So many questions...

And again, where was the offense? It looked like the Birds were going to knock Olson out of the game in the first inning, yet they managed just two runs and were completely lifeless after the delay...and it seems like the O's just conceded to defeat in the later innings...why is Gregg Zaun leading-off in the ninth, followed by Robert Andino (they both struck out) when Aubrey Huff, Matt Wieters and Oscar Salazar are sitting on the bench???

The O's begin Interleague Play on Friday night...they face the Atlanta Braves for a 3-game set before the New York Mets come to town...Jason Berken gets it started for the Birds...Go O's!
