Orioles win again, Cabrera dominant for three innings

by Scott Christ on Mar 9, 2007 12:58 AM EST in News & Rumors

The Orioles continued their undefeated streak, beating the Mets 8-7 in Port St. Lucie, improving their spring record to 5-1-2.

Daniel Cabrera had three scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and striking out four, with no walks. Adam Donachie had a three-run homer, and Jay Payton and Ruddy Yan had two hits each.

The O's slammed Mets starter Orlando Hernandez, who gave up five earned on six hits in two innings. O's reliever Jon Leicester allowed three runs, and Chris Waters gave up the other four. James Hoey picked up the save, his first of the spring.

Former Oriole David Newhan was 0-for-1 in pinch-hit duty for New York.

Damn

Stop monitoring this blog for a couple days and suddenly the color scheme changes. Sexy. I'm really not going to enjoy watching Cabrera against the Sox if he really has found his control.

Oh, and that picture of Roberts in the post below should go on the media guide. If these female so-called baseball fans looking over my shoulder are indication, it would bring many girls to the park.

Cabrera

Aa far as the Cabrera stuff goes, I get chills thinking of how dominant he could be this year. Like so much that I'm not evening interested in Opening Day anymore. It's the 2nd game that I'm looking forward to because I want to see D-Cab mow down that Twins lineup!

As for the Roberts stuff....the Orioles should just tell Brian that with his new multi million dollar paycheck he's going to work more. Then have a few 'Meet Brian Roberts Nights' where people can line up to hug him after the game.

Sure he'd be there until 4 am...but the place would sell out because of all the women who'd pay the ticket price to hug him. Plus the O's could ensure the sell out by double billing it as a great game for single guys to come to due to all the 20 something women who'd be there.

It's called marketing, people!

Not just the ladies

I was at Camden Yards for one of B-Rob's walkoff homers against the Yanks in '05. If he does that again, I'll give him a big man-hug. And no, I don't swing that way.

nothing gay about hugs, dude

I'd like to hug Mora, he always seems so sad.

Roberts

The Roberts walk off against the Yankees....

Man...I'll never forget that game. Why?

Because my wife wanted to go to that game really bad that night and I just didn't feel like driving down there that day. (We had gone a few days earlier and were going again a few days later)

We watched the game on TV and when Roberts hit that walk off dinger on the first pitch he faced in the 10th...my wife looked at me with the meanest scowl I'd ever seen.

I didn't even argue with her. I was just as mad at myself as she was.
