The O's broke their Sunday losing streak with a tidy win over the Angels, avoiding a sweep in the process. Dave Trembley was so giddy, he puffed on an unlit cigar and blew imaginary smoke into the post-game microphone, explaining later on ESPN, "It was the first cigar I ever had."
Then they went into yankee stadium last night and pounded the snot out of Mussina for the second time this season. Adam Jones, who's starting to get noticed, hit his first career grand slam. Will it be the last GS in 'old yankee stadium?' Perhaps....but not the last for AJ I have a feeling.

and another nice win over the Yanks to boot....
Tonight was the one where the O's held on and didn't need a rally. For some reason I like that better.
Looks like D cab got tossed for hitting precious a rod. A rod said after the game even HE didn't think it was intentional.
Yeah, I can get used to early leads and wins but one of our few pieces of trade bait giving up 3 runs in the bottom of the ninth definitely hurt.
Random observation -- Road winning percentage has always been bad for most MLB teams most years (I think), but this year seems to be particularly bad. Only 5 of 30 MLB teams have winning road records, with only the Halos (a whopping 36-19 on the road) and maybe the Cards more than a hair above .500 -- so there's a chance that just these 2 teams could have winning road records by year's end.
