Thank goodness for small favors

The O's have an off day tomorrow, which means.... THEY CAN'T LOSE!!!! They lost to Detroit again today, 3-2, and while Perlozzo tried to shake up their offense, it didn't seem to do much good. Can't really blame Trachsel.. he made it past the usual fifth inning that troubles O's pitchers and only allowed three runs in his seven innings. It looks like Mora (batting 4th), Hernandez (batting 5th) and Markakis (batting 7th) didn't take too kindly to their new (and hopefully temporary) placements in the batting order, contributing no hits to their O's offensive effort. Pinch hitters Huff and Gibbons didn't do any damage either, nor did DH Kevin Millar. Just when one thing starts to work, another shits the bed. Ah, the life of an Oriole fan.
