Today in Orioles history!
For this edition of "Today in Orioles history®," we will recall a game between the Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Mother’s Day, 2007. The Orioles lost a close, competitive game at Fenway late in the ninth inning. O’s fans were disappointed, but glad that their team put forth their best effort against a solid Boston club. Jeremy Guthrie had a mediocre outing, allowing 0 runs over 8 innings leading to Orioles manager Sam Perlozzo to pull him and bring in fan favorite, Danys. Baez struggled a bit but he tried his hardest and could not be blamed for this loss. To close out the game, Sammy Perlozzo, who by the way is best friends with Leo Mazzone if you were not aware, brought in Chris Ray who proceeded to drop the ball and give up the winning run to the Sox. Each player felt a tinge of sadness as they just let this one get away but the clubhouse stayed positive as all the players had supreme confidence in their manager.
Go O's!

depending on who you ask. And yeah, it was a crushing loss. I felt sick afterwards.

Oh yeah
That’s the day I quit watching the Orioles last year. That lasted until late June, too.

That was one of the worst games I could remember
Somewhere in an irrelevant season.. still the worst game I’d followed.

Somehow???
The mothersday massacre still leaves a worse feeling then the 30 run game.

that's because the 30 run game was kind of funny, and it was against a team we don't care about
I hate the Red Sox, and I hate that the the pink hat-wearing douche bags from Boston got an exciting victory from us. They definitely should not have had that game. Ugh.
That game alone warranted Perlozzo’s dismissal.

I'm pretty sure
that’s when the trickle of nay-sayers became a chorus of believers – I know that’s about the time I came up with Brain Surgeon Sam as my nickname for him.

This one hurt...this one hurt bad.
This one is going to keep me fretting over five-run leads in the ninth for years to come. This was the Orioles 4th and 26 moment.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
