The score was 7-3 at the top of the 8th, and then 7-6 by the bottom. The sad part is that I expected them to win. After all, they one last night and tonight should be no different, right? They had a chance to flip that three-game sweep; to demolish the Yankees and get that boost of excitement and determination for the rest of the season. Many of us on the O's fan blog Camden Chat set up post after post about their elation at how well Steve Trachsel pitched, and how the bullpen was a sure thing. In fact, earlier I had been telling Carmel that if the O's had a good lead, it was going to be hard to beat them because of how good their bullpen was.
And then it was 10-7 on an Alex Rodriguez grand slam. And then...there was our uniform reaction of shock, disbelief, and swearing loudly, standing up on a chair in the middle of a busy TFI Fridays as a cloud of 10-year olds' eyes and ears couldn't be blocked soon enough.
I really don't like the Yankees.
