How the Mighty Have Fallen...

Ok, it might be a bit much to call the O’s “the mighty” but for a while there, they sure were acting like it. Last night was just another one of those games where the pitching wasn’t there. Cabrera threw over 100 pitches and was lacking in control, at one point pegging Gary Sheffield in the back. The benches cleared when Jeremy Bonderman supposedly threw at Miguel Tejada in response to Cabrera’s plunking of Sheffield but it wasn’t necessary. Apparently you don’t want to piss Sheffield off because he retaliated on his own with a 2 run home run, as Cabrera stealthily stared him down on his trot around the bases. Shit’s getting ugly for the O’s, but at least we’re not the Yankees. (Thanks to www.orioles.com for the picture)
