Ouch

The O's' West Coast trip has been painful. They've dropped five straight, last night's being the worst yet. They finally got the lead in the top of the 8th on a nice two-out rally only to lose it in the bottom of the inning and then the game in the 10th. All the losses have been by two or less. There's a chance for redemption vs. KC, a team w/ similar hitting struggles and decent pitching. Then, finally a day off and the Red Sox come to Baltimore. Incidentally, the AL 2B all-star slot is now officially up for grabs. I give Roberts the nod for speed and an edge on defense.
