Orioles in 1st place

[ORIOLE33]

And we're back in 1st.

Orioles were playing teams like the Royals and White Sox while the Red Sox were playing the likes of the Braves and the Yankees. I like us to put a little bit of distance this week.

Yup. The Red Sox have played the easiest schedule in the Majors thus far and the O's have played the 7th toughest. http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/rpi/_/sort/sos

Thanks for giving hard numbers to confirm my somewhat anecdotally-supported hunch!

Thanks Andrew.

That was a heck of a game. Personally I'm ticked the ump didn't immediately eject Ortiz for flipping out and yelling in his face on the strike 2 call in the bottom of the ninth. That was way past "arguing balls & strikes" right there.

Now that it's Ortiz yelling, the electronic ball-strikes umpire movement has legs--showing up on MLB radio.

If the Yanks can finish off the sweep against the Sawx, that would be good news for us. Assuming both teams keep their overall pace.

Big Papi has a lot of inflluence.

No matter what. Again tonight.

[Ripken]

Tillman, DOD and Britton threw 87 strikes and 38 balls tonight. Pounding the zone.

RedSOX lose Ortiz 0 for 4 and the final out.

About time! We need Boston to cool off, even if but a short period.
