If we get the first, we win 2 of 3.

Every series I feel like we have the starting pitching advantage, and we keep coming up snake eyes.

Small sample sizes obviously, but it would be nice to just go out and have better pitching 3 straight games (which we are certainly capable of).

When posters were talking sweep at the beginning of the first Cleveland series thread, I winced. There really should be a board policy that we don't talk sweep until we've won the first two (out of three) or three (out of four) games of the series.

That said, for this one series I would prefer to see the 2010 versions of the respective teams battle it out. Just to get us back to .500.

I hate losing to the Orioles. They are not a good team.

Bonifacio at 2B is a mistake.

Izturis has to be hurting still. This is the only way it makes sense plus it might help explain why he's been so awful so far.
