O's earn series win vs Detroit Redskins 3-0

Well i had to miss the middle game of the Detroit series to view the Skins game but the Birds lost 5-3 while the Skins won 13-10. Jason Campbell had a bad day but there were some bad missed calls by officials and that negated a couple of great catches by Moss and Thomas the rookie. Sarfate had another bad outing and might be out of the rotation and back in the bullpen. Skins backs did very well even though Portis sat out. Rock Cartwright had a huge 73 yard run but that was later a drive where Devine threw a pick. Mason impressed again rushing 9 times for 55 yards 6.1 Avg. Betts had 6 carries for 34 yards 5.7 Avg. Colt Brennan threw the go ahead strike to former College Parker Jason Goode who i think has talent and could make the team. Mann and Mcmullen are fighting for spots and bothe did pretty well. The Skins defense was huge allowing only 10 and most of that was on a drive that started real close to the end zone due to unsportsman like conduct on Thomas for failing to come back in bounds on the punt. Favre did throw a TD in this one but the new look Jets could not hold on. Now for the Birds finale in which they just pounded the baseball and won despite another poor outing from a starter this time Garrett Olson gievn the quick hook after only 1 2/3. The Birds hit 5 count em 5 homeruns and stomped the Tigers 16-8. Luke Scott belted 2 one 3 runner and 1 solo. Mora had a solo and a 2 runner and Aubrey hit another 1 2 runner. That's 20 for Mora 21 for Luke and 26 for Aubrey good numbers. Pen man Fernando Caberea gets the win and pitched great going 3 innings and allowing 0 runs. Cormier relieved him and gave up just 1 in 2 innings and Jamie Walker ran into some late trouble aLLowing 2 in 2 innings. ALberto Castilo got the O's out of an early jam and retired one batter but did give up an RBI single. Birds win the series and 4 out of the last 5 and are now 60-63 while Detroit who was an early AL favorite is 60-64. The O's complete a postponed game next Monday vs the WHitesox that game is tied. They nexy face Boston and Jeremy Guthrie starts the opener followed by Caberea next than Waters and all three of those starters have shown they can keep you in games abd get the W. The other 2 starters have not shown that enough Sarfate and Olson. Look for their to be in change in those last two spots. Maybe Radhames Liz gets back to starting or someone new. I don't know how that problem will try to get fixed but I'm taking a wait and see approach. At least Waters has had 2 great starts and one bad one. He must give his all vs Boston and there lineup because Big Poppi is back adn Ramirez is now in LA to make that lineup less offensive thank God.
