It’s not too late to take the Orioles to win the 2008 World Series….
The Baltimore Orioles have been on the virge of breaking out all year long. However, horrible pitching has kept them at or near the bottom of the AL East standings all year long.
However, lately…starting pitching has improved and Baltimore hitting has continued make the Orioles a dangerous ball club. Today, HOT pitcher Daniel Cabrerra will face struggling Mariners pitcher Carlos Silva in Game 3 of a three-game-series with the Seattle Mariners. Yesterday, the Orioles beat ace pitcher Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners by a final score of 3-1 behind some great pitching by Jermemy Guthrie; and, today a win against the Seattle Mariners will give the Baltimore Orioles a rare three-game-road-sweep in Seattle.
And remember, the Orioles also were one of the few teams besides the New York Yankees who have been able to take down the untouchable Los Angeles Angels. The Orioles beat the Anglels in Camden Yards exactly 1 week ago. And Orioles manager Dave Trembley seemed to go a little overboard by lighting a cigar in the post game press conference to celebrate the victory; but, the prior to that win, the Orioles had not won a game on Sunday for 15 consecutive weeks. In the postgame press conference , Trembley said he would light up a cigar every time that the Orioles won on Sunday to commemorate the accomplishment.
Supposedly Dave Trembley is not a smoker; but if the Orioles keep winning on Sundays…Trembley might want to consider three packs a day!
