Even though Jay Payton had a pair of two-run homers, the rest of the Orioles stunk out the jernt (well, Luke Scott had two hits on his 30th birthday -- happy birthday, Luuuuuke!) and the pitching was a mess, leading to a 7-4 loss.
Brian Burres was scratched for flu-like symptoms and the like prior to the game, so Albers got the start. Albers left in the first inning, having gotten just one out. Lance Cormier came in, and he and Ryan Bukvich did their best to save the rest of the bullpen. They did as well as you could expect under the circumstances. Whole lotta things went wrong. We lost. It happens.
Dennis Sarfate walking everyone was bothersome, but Jamie Walker got a strikeout in a one-batter appearance, so hey.

Typically...
when you give up 4 runs in the first inning you’re on your way to being blown out. That didn’t happen, despite the fact that our pitching was atrocious & only one player knocked in any runs. So I’m not too disappointed in the loss…
Let’s get the rubber match today. Woo-hoo, a day game at Wrigley Field!

Its a dull pain
Cintron’s defense was so terrible. If it weren’t for that error that wasn’t called an error by Mora and two bonehead plays by Cintron in a row, that first inning wouldn’t have been as bad.

We can't win them all
And given the team we were playing, we should be thankful it wasn’t that bad. It wasn’t bad at all. It didn’t seem apparent that we were gonna lose the game unitil the Edmond HR
