Guts, Sticks ensure another series win.

(Melvin's only got 7 RBI in the Birds' last two games. Not too shabby.)

Well, well. Another night, another Orioles win, another series win. Sorry about the lack of a game update from Friday night's game, but let's go over Friday and Saturday night, shall we?

We'll start with Friday:
Um, I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure that's about as good as we'll see Mark Hendrickson throw. The big, gangly had a pretty good outing, and the sticks continued to smoke. It was nice to see the offense bounce back after a bad game on Thursday and put it on the Rays. Oh, and Carl Crawford, you don't run on Nick. Ever. Lesson learned, homes.

Of course, the shit storm that has been the bullpen had to go and make it interesting, serving up Longoria on a fucking tee. And Flat Breezy absolutely cannot let a guy like Dioneer Navarro take him Yard in the ninth of a close game. I think once Ray's velocity gets back up, he needs to take over that closer role again.

Last night:
Guts was about as good as he can be last night, giving us a much needed quality start with his six scoreless innings. And, as we know, most of the work was done in the first, when Mora hit his salami and Nick and B-Rob both had doubles. The top of this lineup is borderline orgasmic right now. B-Rob, Sugar Bear and Nick the Dick are STROKING the baseball right now. Huff is off to a slow start, but Mora is red hot. It's nice to see the top 5 in our lineup hit. Very nice. And Ray looked good out of the pen last night. Finally.

All in all, we've won our first two series of the year. Both against AL East opponents. Can't complain about that, O's fans. I couldn't believe that we had lost 12 straight games to the Rays last year. Wow. That's like going out to the bar in college for 12 straight nights without hooking up with a girl. Seems impossible right? But that's over now. It's a new day.

Let's see what happens today against Shields as Eaton makes his Orioles debut.
