Two finished out in Toronto Same Result

A rain postponed game was finished early today and with bad Defense and no offense the O's lost that game 5-1. kevin Millar gets the bad defense award as he overthrew the catcher on a potential inning ending double play which allowed two runs to score on that play and then another on a sac fly. The throw sailed high and Ramon could not glove it. The bats were silent in the games completion even though they threatened getting the first two on in the eight before Jones hit into a double play. Then vs the Jays ace Roy Halladay, the O's could only muster one run when it looked like they should have had three or four. Cabrera had a bad game even though he was killed by bloop hits all game long. Nick Markakis had an assist and is tied for the AL lead with 10 when he threw out Matt Stairs trying to tag and ended up with an inning ending double play. But the O's could not capitilize against who Jim Palmer calls one of the best in the AL Halladay who has an ERA under 3 now that's impressive. Daniel gave up all 7 runs and his ERA is now a not so good 4.86 while Halladay's is 2.82. Cabrera drops to .500 6-6 but really needs to have some quality starts after two very dissapointing ones vs Detroit and today. I believe he will because those bloop hits don't always drop. But he would have had to be very darn good today to win and he wasn't.

Redskins note: Skins sign Jason Taylor who will now wear the #55 and play Defensive end greatly boostin the team's pass rush because of the injury Phillip Daniels suffered which was season ending. Now the Skin's pass rush may be the best in the league. Hopefully Taylor will give you 10-15 sacks same from Carter and LB's and DB's will add some sacks too. We'll see but that right now looks like a great addition to the Defense and that line.
