Monday Bird Droppings
Five straight losses and the Yankees are coming to town. No problem. Freddy Garcia versus C.C. Sabathia? Mmmm...okay. What do you think ails the O's? Is it a structural issue, a personal issue or...
Around the Minors: 5/19/2013
Norfolk 3, Durham 2: If you squint, you can take away some positives from Zach Britton's start. He only allowed one earned run and his sinker worked to great effect (ten groundouts), but he walked...
