2 Out in Texas

Darnit, the O's floundered like fish in the final two in Texas. Brian Burres pitched well enough to win only allowing two runs yet a Jay Payton error allowed Ian Kinsley to come to the plate and deliver a 2 run shot that never should have occured. That put Texas on top to stay and they won game two. Radhames Liz pitched poorly in game three marred by a three run shot by David Murphy. More bad defense occured when Freddie Bynum threw a possible double play inning ending throw to first past Kevin Millar and opened the door for another big inning by Texas. The O's tried valiantly to come back with Brian Roberts, Melvin Mora, Kevin Millar, and Nick MArkakis all going deep. Millar almost homered earlier but settled for an off the top of the wall double. O's are now only one game above .500 as they move to Toronto for another three game set. My prediction, O's SWEEP. Let's see how things go vs the Blue Jays in Toronto. Tecas leads the season series 4 to 2. Nice job on the homeruns in the final game but not enough. Texas 11 O's 10. Ouch.
