Game 1 in NY a BeatDown

The O's sure looked fine and dandy in this one crushing NY 13-4. It all started with men on base and Kevin Millar belting a 3 run shot to left O's up 3-0. NExt batter Ramon Hernandez and you know what he did, he made it back to back homers for the fourth time this year for the Birds. Then Adam Jones tripled to score B Rob and then Adam Scored on a sac fly from Huff 6-0 Birds way. Later, Adam Jones came up with the bases loaded and guess what he got his first career grand salami, 11-0. The Yanks would try to make it a game again with a solo shot from newly aquired Xavier Nady and then a 3 run shot off Johny Damon's bat 11-4. But then Huff got a homerun with 1 should have been two on but Markakis was called out an out of the zone pitch 13-4 Birds final. Jeremy Guthrie pitched great giving up 1 run in 6 1/3 and then COrmier faced some trouble giving up the 3 run shot. Jamie Walker's first game off the DL was a sucess as he pitched 1 1/3 hitless ball. Randor Bierd was good as well pitching 1 1/3 scorless innings. Tomorrow is a shot at redemption for Daniel Cabrera who must pitch well against NY to regain some momentum for the rest of his season. He faces NY's worst started Darryl Rasnor. Tune in and find out if the other Danny sticks it to NY and their lineup which can be potent if The Birds and their BIG O don't beat them up to bad. Should be tons of fun.
