Baltimore Is Kryptonite to Boston

There is always one team that gives you trouble every year. This year it's the Orioles for the Red Sox. For the past 2 nights the O's have done to the Red Sox what the Red Sox have done to other teams - come back late in games. Last night the O's score 2 off of Frank Morales to win 5-3 in 12 innings. Plenty, plenty of chances for the Red Sox to win, but they could not get a big hit when needed. Laz Diaz - horrible on balls & strikes. Even I could strike out a few batters if Laz gives me 2 inches on both sides of the plate. Ortiz complains a lot, but he was justified on a ball clearly out of the zone that was called a strike. Laz is right up there with Angel Hernandez in my book. Anyways, Lackey & Tillman go at it tonight in the finale. Maybe we can squeak out 1 win. But it just seems like we can't beat the O's.
